Self explainatory….It is like a mouse in a den of cats…woo..brave…I won’t do this in UK or any european countries for that matter but here in Singapore, no worries..our security is pretty good so I reckon no problem..still it is not an easy thing to do, to get jeered and booed by the many pools fans..

hair for hope..fully….

hair for hope(July 05, 2009)-11, originally uploaded by iwynx.

10 days gone..still attracting lots of stares and questions from people whom I know but hardly talk to me, entertaining questions like…”Eh, why you do this, is because you too stressed, or you are some kind of extreme stress/pressure, etc? These questions are quite ..ermh..no lar..I said I did it because I support hair for hope, fund raising for childhood cancer..that’s plain and simple, there’s no agenda on my part to look cool, or save on shampoo, etc…perhaps all I wanted was more donation..but that’s not coming thus far.. come on..folks..show me the $$$. I mean please donate lar.. Especially who say they will, should..so far I don’t think I see any of those coming.

On a funny note, no funny insurance agent approached me thus far..maybe I don’t look too well without hair…I don’t like the attention anyway. To be very frank.

Anyway, this botak head went jogging yesterday and he’s loving the coolness the bald head brings..

Hair for Hope 2009…I finally did it…

Posted by diligo on July 6, 2009

It is strange but it is true…

I have attracted strange stares on the train today…1st day being bald that’s it. ..You know what is the best thing of being bald? It is the coolness that it brings. And yes, there is no need to wait for the hair to dry out. And most importantly, I feel the reason to shave bald for children cancer is indeed very meaningful cause.

And pete, by the way..my hair is way shorter than that of 2008! On that fateful day when we met and of course get acquainted with that big boobs chest of yours. Incredible! I am instantly transported to 11 years ago..reminscing the moments in police academy. And believe me, Cheeko would have said the same too. Remember how you

An inspirational message from Paulo Coelho via facebook

Posted by diligo on July 2, 2009

This message came in today in my inbox via facebook. I cannot understand latin, so I got it translated via google translate.

“Soñar es muy cómodo, siempre que no nos veamos obligados a hacer aquello que planeamos.
Así, no corremos riesgos, ni sufrimos frustraciones, momentos difíciles, y cuando seamos viejos, podremos culpar a los demás, por no haber realizado aquello que deseábamos” [...]

Once Minutos.
Paulo Coelho

4×2x2(300609), originally uploaded by iwynx.

The update on taken on tuesday 30th June 2009.

Added 100 pieces of cardinal tetras and 80 odd pieces of mosquitoes rasboras…

Why 80 odd pieces ? Cos they came in 100 pieces, the remaining pieces went into my nano tank.

Tank glass surface is clearing up with the addition of seachem phosphate. Remember the episode with the green dust algae.
