Hair For Hope 2012 – Daddy is a botak head

While we Wow and Oooh about London Olympic Her Majesty’s skydive, and Mr Bean single note performance, Vivocity has an army of hairstylists from Jean Yip, waiting to shave some 3,000 volunteers.

Read on to discover who inspires Daddy to shave.

On 28 July, Daddy was going to be one of the botaks. Kudo to the shopping spirit, a lot of shoppers decided there and then to just queue and shave !

=== === === ===
Through this symbolic hair-shaving event, organiser and participants hope to :

1. Create awareness of childhood cancer in Singapore
2. Show children with cancer and their families that they are not alone in their fight against cancer
3. Tell children with cancer that it is OK to be bald
4. Raise funds to help children with cancer and their families
5. Build a community of support for children with cancer and their families
=== === === ===

Whatever your reason, be it giving back to society, standing tall with cancer stricken kids, or just saying I-Care. Daddy hoped we did sent a loud message across last weekend.

It was heartening and inspiring to see the participants march up one by one, with all their beautiful crown, and flashing a BIG smile after the haircut !

Which hairstyle do you prefer? Mohawk in The last Mohican?

Some punk musician?

哪吒三太子?

It was all over in 5 mins.

You will not get to see this hairdo for the next six months keke :p

Daddy say we will be lucky if we touch is head. Very ticklish.

Oh, did I mention people will suddenly take an interest in your new hairdo? When you take the MRT or bus, your fellow passengers will be wondering, is he a convict, is he sick, something must be wrong yada yada.
Just a few days, and Daddy can feel the scrutinizing eyes from strangers.

Now imagine, how our little friends who are suffering from cancer are feeling?
Fighting the disease is already a hugh uphill task, society definitely can afford to show the less-fortunate kids, that we CARE !

Shell’s Target One Million campaign

Target One Million is a Shell FuelSave campaign to help one million drivers across the world learn how to save fuel. Shell has developed a series of interactive, online mini-games for people to complete at http://www.shell.com.sg/targetonemillion. The mini-games have been designed to show motorists how the right choice of fuel, like Shell FuelSave and a few simple changes to their driving habits can help save them fuel, and in doing so, reduce their fuel costs.

Shell did a research based on 500 drivers in Singapore, some of the key points are :
– 46% say they would be more active in saving fuel, if more information and tips are available
– 59% of drivers are not selecting a fuel that improves fuel-economy
– 85% of drivers will change the way they drive if they can save more money on fuel
