My father called me and asked "Are you really going to shave your head?" to which I replied "Yes, I will". He then told me about his cousin whose couple friends had also shaved their heads for the same event last year. They had lots of glares and stares (even people looking from the corner of their eye), all trying to look at them and understand why they may be bald.

I cut my father off and said, "Hiyah, Pa! It's to be expected what. I am sure a lot of people are going to stare at me and I am aware of it". He also said that his cousin mentioned that there are many ways in supporting charitable organizations and shaving one's head bald is probably not the best option.

The funny thing is that it's not just my father who's trying to ask me not to shave my head bald but my friends and colleagues too!

Well I really appreciate people showing their concern and I know that they love me and worry for me but perhaps... it's my choice? Please be reminded that I'm under no pressure or obligation to do this. I just want to do this. It's just... my way of showing support. Some people would rather donate money but I don't like giving out money. Instead, I give emotional and physical support just like how I regularly donate my blood.

Pa if you're reading this, I'm not angry. Just don't worry for me okay? I know, you love me and want the best for me and I love you too!
