Weekly summary - 49th week
I want to show three types of hair falling from my head.
I will consider the first type, the hair form behind as the mature hair. These type of hair falls is normal.
Second type is in the middle which the hair is long and the size of hair also almost same with the mature hair, but if you notice, the hair look sharper and the diameter is smaller than mature hair. That means these type of hair may only grow for 6 months to 8 months and it is not a mature hair.
Third type is miniature hair or baby hair. This type of hair normally found in my frontal and crown. Smaller diameter and lighter in colour and unlikely to grow long in the length.
What worry me is I found quite some amount hair loss which is the second and third type. Will Propecia help my hair to grow into the mature stage? I really wish it did.
My hair loss is higher than last week especially crown and frontal left side. Libido is still OK and not much changes. I just hope my hair can grow stronger as I have now in Propecia medication (0.5mg) for over 11 months.

Weekly summary - 48th week
Not the first victims of the notorious three in Malaysia and Singapore, Yun Nam Haircare, London Weight management and New York Skin, and won't be the last one. I am regret to tell that I am one of the victim of Yun Nam Haircare. London Weight management, New York Skin and Yun Nam haircare are from the same mother company. They all using same tactics to attract and cheat people, earn their hard earn money without giving any result guarantee. I really hope less people will get cheated by them. The law in Malaysia can not help the victim much unless you hire a lawyer to tribunal court, and you may only have a 50% chance if you are lucky.
It seems like some shedding started again this week. More frontal hair loss. Crown seems like OK in this stage. Miniature hair may be more after taking Propecia but grow into mature stage is another issue. The Problem is I have miniature hair or baby hair but it seems doesn't grow in to
mature stage. It is worried me now. I do hope to hear if any one taking propecia and tell me your condition.
May be another hair shedding is coming and cause my libido also reduce this week. I am now thinking how can Taiwanese star Jay Chow can maintain his hair for so long without taking propecia for so long. Since he also suffer MPB as well.

Weekly Summary - 47th week
Solution, watch it online right? You are right half way. Streamyx may have block all the P2P programs that use to watch Olympics live online such as PPstream , Sopcast, TVant, PPlive as it consumes a lot of Bandwidth. It can be use for 3 days, now all are not working and lots of people complaint in some local forum. You may have to download a lot of the P2P software as some of the streaming programs are yet to blocked. Sad, it means no money no Olympics for poor Malaysian.
OK, finish complaint, back to our hair problems. Recently my hair loss has been quite consistent. However, I have lost some miniature hairs or so call baby hair. Mostly is frontal. Libido is reduce a bit, but I think it is still normal.
Have enough rest while you following Olympics day and night.

The name "Vin" is simply a shortened version of "Vincent". He received the nickname "Diesel" from his friends who said he ran off diesel, referring to his non-stop energy.
