I will never forget those mornings we dreaded, hatred of the afternoon, the uncertainties in the evening.

The Unnamed Project

Purpose: To raise awareness of cancer to others and to get others to EMPATHIZE and not just sympathize with cancer patients. For all cancer survivors and patients and those who lost the battle.

What we’re doing: Shave our heads and spread the message around. Whoever interested can also do so and make a dedication if they wish to.

How do we get the public’s attention: Spread this idea around to as much people as possible, and maybe create a page or blog about it.

How to get permission: Write to whichever cancer association we’re raising funds for, and ask for collaboration so it seems more credible or acceptable when we do it publicly. We have to write to NJ too and whoever is willing to give us a place in which we can conduct the shaving event. If we can’t do it publicly, we can do it within NJC but we still need to collaborate because we’re collecting funds. Not to mention the school’s approval. We need a lot of support in order for the approval of NJ.

When: If we do it after school, some people who are fairly interested may just skip it. For it to be held during school hours, we need support again.


This will be the rough idea of what we're planning to do. There are bound to have a fair amount of problems on the way, but if we get the support and we fight for it, it will come true. After all, why do we reject something which is a good cause?

So far, I've roped in Hweesean, Xuanrong and Megan. I hope I didn't exactly force y'all in, no pressure, but you've shown much interest in it, so I assumed... But I know that even if you don't organize it, you'll support me in some way or another! :) Thank you girls, I really appreciate the support. It's my first time trying to organise something big scale like that, and it's really wonderful to know that there are people backing me up beside me, watching and taking care of me.

Again, please let me know if you're interested in helping us develop it further! Every little bit of help means a lot, I really wish for this to succeed. Even if it's within NJ itself, I'll be really, really glad.

Note: You don't need to shave if you don't want to! There are many ways you can help us here! And if you don't have the time but wish to shave, by all means do so too!

EXTRA: I'm most likely going to an old folk's home or orphanage/children homes with Hweezy I suppose. Anyone wants to go along? I'm going for food shopping before that too! Candies for little children :) Can't wait!


This will be my first step towards my dream of doing social work for a living.

  2. Yup most probably during the september hols or a weekend if possible! Not sure where, but there's a home near hweezy's kindergarten :) I've did a bit of checking, many children homes have a minimum age which is 16.. but I can still write to them and ask! They usually ask for long term commitment, like every week/fortnight for at least six months, so must see first!

  3. Ok! Im actually quite interested but need to see my schedule first. I actually wabted to go to a children's home or old folks' home when I was P6 but my friends and I were too young then. So in the end we did a sale to raise funds for SPCA:) hehe.
