My Small Contribution to the World's Greatest Shave

With my new "no hair-do" and my three boys.

As promised in my other blog, this is the proof that I did participated in the World's Greatest Shave 2008: A Leukaemia Foundation fund raising.

This is my "small" contribution, as cheekily pointed out by my daughter (Dad, what are you sacrificing?). But a couple of ounces of hair is a lot of commitment from a middle age person like me. It took me months to grow that hair!

Thanks to all who pledged and contributed/donated to this fund raising. We really do appreciate your financial commitment to this cause very close to our hearts.

I almost forgot to thank my son-in-law, Charles for the hair cut. Thanks Charlie!

Cruising The South Pacific: 13 Days in February

For the most part of our first three days at sea, above is only one of the many "shapes and sizes" you see of the sea, aside from the horizon. Just sea water churning at the turn of the ship's propellers.

As this is our first leisure cruise, it did take our curiosity and the anticipation of seeing new places and the "post card" beaches and islands in the South Pacific.

At first you obviously need to get into the pitching and rolling of the ship, P & O's first superliner, The Pacific Dawn. Some people get used to it and some requires medication. But as the ship's nears its destination, the sea becomes calmer and your body becomes accustomed to the ship's motion.

The hardest part of the trip is really keeping as far away from the buffet tables and dining areas!
