movember

when i read this word, i started imagining one song on my head, "i like to move it, move it. she likes to move it, move it, and he likes to ....... MOVE IT". it makes me wanna watch a movie straight away. it is an animated film by dreamworks. if you still scratching your head, it is a movie full with animals. okay, you are able to figure it out, good for you. if not, too bad.

i have not misspelled the word. movember is a slang. it is a combination of the words "moustache" and "november". the word has a history. this is the month when men will keep moustache for a month. well, there is a cause for keeping it. it is to raise men's health issues, being prostrate cancer and depression. 2010 marks the year the event is associated with testicular cancer as well. personally, it is a great cause. besides, the men keep long beard and those who do will ask for sponsors to donate to the charities in keeping the moustache.

while i just read it for hobby, the sudden thought struck me, " i have not shaved since 1st november". maybe i should try asking for sponsors as well =) but then the thought of my cheapo friends who will most likely sponsor 1 or 2 cents put me off the idea instantly. for the fun of it, i will just keep it for a week. considering it is a study vacation week, i guess it is alright to appear scruffy. go movember!

oh, to add a sense of proud, movember is rooted from the koala-land, to be specific adelaide. it will not be right if i did not take part right? even for a week, that will be cool. next time i can tell others, i have taken part in movember for a week. =)

blogger is feeling a bit nervous. if i were to be in malaysia, there will be no movember because the blogger's mum will not tolerate such sloppiness. oh, for god sake, she is not going to know about this.
