& spongebob is cute 5:22 PM
Well, we all know that even cute children are not spare from the murderous disease cancer. And this cancer can be cured. But for during the treatment, chemotherapy, the children loose their hair. All of it. In our generation, hair is life. No hair, no reason to show off. Hair is our ego. But what about those children who don not have hair? Do they have no life? People make fun of their baldness. When they should appreciate the fact that they have the will to live. They have the power to go through all the tough treatment. Recently, when I had gone down to fetch my brother from the school bus, I saw this poster which caught my eye. It was about the Children's Cancer Society Singapore. The poster included 4 people who were bald. A grandmother, a father, a young girl and a child. They are all bald. You might have seen this poster. The bald child is a victim of cancer. And if you notice carefully, you will see that the child will be smiling. Cancer and smile. Try that. The poster said that "We might not understand the ordeal these children are going through. But we can support them in their ordeal by shaving bald." In the poster they included that on 6 July they will be having some programme in which you can shave bald. I felt my family should play a part. I told my dad that he and Baby (my brother) can go there and shave. Then he asked me, why don't I do it too. I was like what?. I am a girl. Hair is life. I told him that. And also included that people will laugh at me like hell! But he replied that I can be a source of inspiration for all the girls. Come on! Give up your hair to support! I am so not gonna do that! But I thought about it. I feel like doing it, but something inside me is refraining me from doing it. My ego? Maybe.But boys are no excuse, man. I am referring to you, Joel Chan. Boys should not have that feeling. They should have no shame. they are supposed to do do that when they go for NS. So if boys, if you do not want to shave, then I recommend you to shave. You have to do it when you ae 18. So maybe you can shave now to 'mentally prepare' yourself.
