The Go Bald Campaign organised by the Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS) is back! Last year, they managed to raise a grand total of RM215,760.37!

This includes a massive RM65,000 raised by Kuching’s own Kenny Sia, and an additional RM20,000 from a generous Dato who also stepped up to have his head shaved. – Go Bald, Give Hope

Kenny Sia Go Bald in 2009

For 2010, SCCS aim to raise RM1,000,000 ONE million Satu JUTA Ringgit Malaysia and also to Go BALDer!! I say that it is possible and yes, it can happen! With you and me, hand in hand, together we support and contribute along with the society, it is POSSIBLE to reach that goal.

The new funding is for a brand new SCCS centre that will offer an unprecedented level of care and support for child cancer patients in Sarawak.

So, what is this Go Bald campaign all about? How does going bald help?

Do good deed while getting a new look.

Hair loss is the least physically harmful side effect of cancer treatment. However, it can also be the most traumatic, and a horrifying experience – especially for children. We want them to know that it’s just a temporary setback on the road to recovery.

Shaving our heads bald is a public show of solidarity with cancer patients and their families. More importantly, we can send a very powerful message to our children – that they do not have to be afraid. – Go Bald, Take Action

HELP KIDS FIGHT CANCER! This is the theme we’re talking about.

Support the Go Bald 2010 campaign by:

1. Go Bald
2. Make Donation
3. Spread the word
4. All of the above

I’m not pledging to Go Bald, but I am contributing to the campaign by fund raising. I hope that everyone would join me and contribute generously!

Those of you who are interested to contribute (within Malaysia), you can make your donation via bank transfer or pass it directly to me. Please contact me at theannna[@]gmail.com for more details;

OR

Donate directly to Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (visit their official website to donate online/offline).

To find out more about Go Bald, visit their booth at the Spring, from 10-16 May, 2010, or visit Go Bald’s official website at www.gobald.my.

It was my first time. They asked questions like when was your last menstrual period? Fortunately, that time, I was in my second week of the cycle and hence I’m more than qualified to donate. I never knew..

Well, that was 2 years ago.

Few days back, I saw this poster on the college glass. It brings back the memories of needles and blood. @.@!!

Anyway, there’s a blood donation campaign held at FTMS College, Brighton Square on August 29, 2009, from 9am till 12pm. I am not sure who can or cannot go for it, but I’ll try to make it.

The blood bank needs your blood. Blood donation saves lives. The blood you donated will be in good hands and will be used to save lives, rather than you sit in a cafe and feed mosquitoes. XD

On second note, you generate new blood cells in your body. Do good for a fresher you (wow.. randomly came up with a slogan pulaks)

Do not donate blood if you:

• have sex of a kind (eg: Men who have had sex with other men)
• have sex with both genders
• infected with AIDS
• “subscribed sex labour”
• exchange sex partners
• take drugs using a sharing needle

If you’re fit and healthy and free from all of the above, why not join in the campaign?

Emcees of the night: Karen and Season

After introducing themselves, they continue on with the objective of the event and highlighting the programs for the night.

The Opening Dance was a hiphop dance performed by Soulz. The video of it is divided into three parts:

There’s the third part which I tried upload, failed three times on Vimeo. Forget about Youtube, it doesn’t accept MP4. Will be trying again on Vimeo.

After the dance, was the opening song, Heal The World, sung by  Edwin, Chien Chien, Peterus and Andy.

Thanks to Edwin for getting us the exclusive passes to unlimited access in the hall. We were able to capture the best angles and views of the night while we still can. lol..

Special seats. Upclose and personal XDDDDD

More to come in the next few posts, meanwhile, enjoy the opening videos first as I’m still uploading the rest of the videos – one vid every night thanks to Slowmyx. Till then, stay tune..

Many thanks to Edwin and Frederick (Techno Expo) for extending the invitation to us and having us over for the event. Even though it’s an open event, still want to thank them for organizing such a big event! Otherwise, we where got chance to play around in the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK).

So, how many of you went for the exhibition? How many went for the charity concert? How many went for both? I went for 3 of it – Went to check out the exhibition, cheered at the charity concert and even ate there!

How do you find the exhibition and concert?

The exhibition was very educational. Unfortunately, when I was roaming around at the garbage enzyme booth, the person in charge of that particularly booth was not around because it was already pass 7pm, in which it’s the end of the exhibition for the day. I didn’t know that they were giving away a bottle of garbage enzyme!! My colleague went in the afternoon and got herself a bottle of free enzyme.

What happened if you get hungry there?

They have caterings near the hall and in between the exhibition. Friendly staff at the food counter.

Since we went there in the evening (roughly 6pm), some manage to have dinner before going over, I for one didn’t. So, luckily they have food in the centre. Teehee..

Mee Goreng @ RM6.50

Food and drinks are slightly pricier but still affordable – as expected. A can of softdrink is priced at RM3.00. The food was not bad. Looking forward to their restaurant

What about the concert?

The concert was great. Especially when you have your friends hanging around with you. Spent most of our time in front of the stage! Lots of stories to tell, but I don’t know where to begin!! lol

Anyway, I’m dividing the event into several parts to avoid heavy loading and extreme long post for it.

Before entering the hall for the concert, we took picha a LOT outside. Here are some pichas from my phone and the rest are taken from facebook uploaded by the rest. Leech mode. Ngiahahahha..

3 green girls and 1 black

We were suppose to be leaves for the sunflower. Said it before snapping, but end up only me leafing there. They pranked me. piff!!

One thing about BCCK, it’s damn cold inside!! I was practically freezing throughout the whole night. So we need to exercise to keep ourselves warm:

Group Jump before event started

This is one of my favourite picha of the night! The group jump. Thanks to TV for the picha. After the group jump, we went into the hall.

Since ahlost was carrying two DSLR, which looked heavier than her, I offered to help her carry one of them. Then, Foosi sempat snap this for me. Kekekekeke.. Feel so pro cam wei~ Even though it was ujst for 15 minutes. LOL!!

The event didn’t start on the dot, so, we berpichas. Outside the hall, it was cold. Inside, it was freezing! It’s like a huge fridge. My first time attending a concert without flowing a single sweat! LOL!!

with SuperstarEdwinaaaaaahh

Here’s one with BusySuperStarEdwinah. kekekeke..

"Diu or no Diu??"

Then there’s one shot taken from afar by Gerald. From the picha, it seems like there’s a fight down there. LOOOL!!

Purposely took this picha with the Uncle in it

Yienyien, remember what you told me about what the uncle said? LAMAO! Am still lamaoing at it now.

We were first told to sit on the first row, left wing of the seatings. But since we have the access to the “cage” (the fencing around the stage mainly for photographers with TAG), we went over for test shots before the event started.

MYOB

Gerald snapped this while everyone was busy minding their own business in the “cage”. While the DSLRes were taking few test shots to get the right settings, I was busy taking pichas of the surrounding and you can see from this picha, dys and yien busy chit chatting there. tsktsktsk..

Kelefei to the max!

Even took the opportunity to sit on the stage!

Kacheek kacheek

My digicam is not back yet, so that night I took pichas and videos using my few weeks old phone. Guess what, it died on me in the mid of the show. !@#%^$*!!!

This is what I was Kacheek-ing

Here’s a comparison between a 3.2MP HPcam and a DSLR with Fisheye lense:

Taken with Nokia 5800 3.2MP

VS

Taken with a DSLR and Fisheye lense

SO BIG DIFFERENCE CAN CRY! The heart says, I want a DSLR. The mind says, I don’t need a DSLR.

Anyway, this post is an introduction before the event started. lol.. In the next post, the opening dance and song and few performances in queue!

What the tooot man.. I rushed home, rushed dinner, rushed shower, rushed to class. Was so proud I was late to class for 2 minutes only. Then, we waited and waited in class for 5 minutes, 10 minutes then 30 minutes. The lecturer is yet to appear in front of us. We were puzzled! After calling her, we then realized that we were A380 (pang koi ki/fly kite/kantoi) by our lecturer! WHAT THE TOOOOOOOOOT!! She didn’t even inform the college that she’s not coming in for class. gEeeEEzzZZzz!

There was a pre-concert for the Green International Festival Kuching 2009 on Tuesday evening. Many of the band performing on the event itself performed a song or two that night.

Here are some of the videos taken (more in my Facebook):
