16 ladies & 1 man...
Baring it all...
In Bald for Fund..
Benefiting Cancer Patients..
It's... (drum roll)
Bald Is Empowering!!!
(I imagined ads for American Idol or any other reality based shows, e.g. Iron Chef & etc while writing that)
I am grateful for the day that I met Shamaine Ho through Facebook (yes FB, you gave me so much. OK, i promise to love you long time) and lucky to be part of this meaningful cause. Without her, us baldies (for the 'Before' pictures of the 16 ladies, click here) will never get to participate, empowering ourselves and others, enabling sponsors to participate and last but not least : helping cancer patients by encouraging monetary donation from both corporations and public.
Attendance for the Bald for Fund was very encouraging, endless stream of words of support coupled with surprise and admiration for the ones lining up to be shaved. Some laughed, some tear a little and most are just overwhelmed by the loving, positive energies on the floor that day. See for yourself :

 |
| There's no turning back, last group photo before snip snip :) |
 |
| Wondering what's on their mind at that moment~ |
 |
| Mine was : Oh my god, it's so cold! |
 |
| Look at all the cheery faces! Annie got an Angpau and can't stop smiling! |
 |
| Have you seen that many bald heads in 1 spot before? |
I've never had the chance to thank any of the volunteers on that day but THANK YOU volunteers!! You & Shamaine's hard work made Bald for Fund happened for us baldies ^^
Even if you are not there, I am sure the loving, happy energy is glowing off your monitor screen right now (no, no, not like Poltergeist). Bald for Fund might've happened 14 days ago but let's not let the funds stop now! Cancer patients still need you and you can still donate through Bald is Empowering via Simply Giving (All funds go to MAKNA) up until Saturday, 31st March 2012. Don't worry about the USD 1 charged by PayPal, it's for them to verify your credit card and they will reimburse your USD 1 later. If they failed to do so, you can contact Simply Giving via email : help@simplygiving.com and they will highlight this issue to PayPal on your behalf.
As of 12th march 2012, collection to date has reached RM 76,2350.80. Let's all work together and help Bald Is Empowering achieve their RM 200,000.00 collection mark to help cancer patients! If you are still unsure or worry about the level of transparency practised, go to Bald Is Empowering's website and browse through their Donation List and Beneficiaries for their list of beneficiaries. Hope that helps :)
Before I bid adieu, here's a an interview with TV2's Hello On Two :
