I Am Going Botak (Bald), Very Soon !

Friday 7 October 2005 @ 4:42 pm

Well, no kidding this time. Within seconds Peter asked me during one of our MSN conversations few days back, I agreed to shave my head along with him and Jason to raise some money for the Penang Hospice-At-Home-Programme. As Peter has mentioned, this campaign is called “Hair For Hospice”.

I knew Peter in the first Penang bloggers gathering I attended in August, 2005. Since then, we have been chatting via MSN quite frequently. I have to admit, within such a short period, he has become one of my close buddies not only on the virtual Internet, but in real life too. Who says we can’t get real friends on the Net, huh?

Me

Gonna miss my hair.

Before I get shaved, just sharing a pic of mine. Can’t really imagine how will I look like. Anyway, compared to Peter’s 42-months worth of uncut hair, my cut-it-every-month-or-so hair doesn’t seem to be a big problem to shave it off. I used to change my hair style every now and then in the past 10 years from flat-top (during Form 2) to samurai look (2 years ago, while The Last Samurai was showing :P ). However, I have not tried to shave my head in my life, so I guess this is the right moment to do it, and for a good cause.

Going bald was not a hard decision, though it sure leaves some side effects to my daily life. I am not a rich guy, but I still have some hair on my head and the guts to shave it. So, why not go for it.

While Peter is pledging to shave his head to raise RM5,000, I am playing more like a supporting actor kind of role but I still hope to raise more than RM5,000 if three of us go bald. If you want to join the botak gang, please feel free to contact any one of us. You are most welcome.

Well, donation can be in any amount, and here is the donation instructions. For more information, please visit Peter’s blog. You may visit the donation page of this campaign as well.

By the way, we are going bald in early November. So, please donate as soon as possible. Thank you so much. :)

Note:
Hi everyone, here is the update of the campaign, I’m bald now.

    […] Never mind his bizarre domain name. Bryan is as regular a guy as any other. Although he is sometimes slow in catching on jokes cracked between ReallyBites and me, he is a fun friend to be around. One evening while we were on MSN, I asked if he was willing to sacrifice his hair for a good cause. He agreed without hesitation. Yesterday, he put up an entry titled I Am Going Botak (Bald), Very Soon ! confirming his participation in the Hair for Hospice Charity Campaign. The few times that we got together, his hair is always nicely trimmed. It would be fun to see him bald. I am looking forward to that day. […]

    你很帥，不要介意光頭，更何況你這一剪可以幫助好多人。這不只是善事，而且可以讓你看來更酷、更陽光。哈哈。
    突然，想到你舉動應該稱為“剪愛”。

    PK : 应该是”剪“吧，我身上也没有什么可以”减“的啦。看来你我的华语都还给了老师。哈。

    解语 ；可以帮人当然义不容辞，但是收到的款项都还没达预计的80%。快接近月尾了，希望善心人士可以慷慨解囊，捐多一元得一元。:)

    不要急，真的到最後一分鐘還沒達到目標也不要氣餒，盡力了量力了就足夠。
    勿強求，凡事隨緣。
    天啊，我怎麼變成出家人的口吻了。哈哈。
    就祝福大家圓融。
    對了，忘了告訴你，你中文挺好的。我喜歡你寫中文的伊妹。

    谢谢你的祝福。哈， 还好已捐的款项差不多要接近目标了。

    我的中文大部份都还回给我的中文老师了， 写这几句都要用上整5分钟。哈。

    未来可能想写些关于爱情及人生的中文散文。

    不錯啊，應該多把自己的心情寫出來，反正有博客這玩意。
    不只可以記載心情，而且還可以發照片呢。哈哈。
    假如有作品，記得第一個告訴我哦。哈。

    […] Congratulations to Peter, Bryan, Sharizal, Devyne , and Jason Loh for the new and stunning looks! These folks are really a blast, shaving off their precious locks for charity. If we are to have a bloggers gathering now, they would steal the limelight with their reflector scalps! […]
