I Can’t Be All About Myself

Regarding my title, I’ve decided to help propagate Peter Tan’s Hair For Hospice campaign.

I’m embarassed to say that I have not been tuning into his blog much in the past few months due to my inability to be connected to the Internet for leisure blog readings. However, I was in Penang yesterday for a trip to the Malaysian Dental Training college and smsed Minishorts if she had Peter’s number just so I could sms him and let him know that I was in Penang as well! Just to know which part he’s on and all. He called me back and we chatted for awhile(as I was crossing the Penang bridge, MY FIRST TIME!) and then he said that he’ll be going to KL quite often now. I was like, “Why?” and then he told me about him cutting his hair for charity and yeah, I remember a mention on this somewhere in the blogosphere.

Curious, I read through his intentions and my, my, what a noble man.

An excerpt from his post:

“The Campaign –I am pledging to shave my head to raise RM5,000.00 for the Penang Hospice-At-Home-Programme. This is removing forty two months worth of uncut hair from my scalp. I have invariably grown attached to them after so many years. It has become part of me, a distinct identity that I have come to be associated with. However, this is all for a cause that I strongly believe in. It is worth the sacrifice.”

I will do my part as soon as I can find a Southern Bank in Sg. Petani. For the mean time, the most I can do is to promote this for him.

So people, do hop over and encourage him to cut his hair!! I’ve seen photoshopped photos of him without his hair and I must say, it’s a refreshing change from his long long hair!
