Movember!

For those who aren't familiar with the month of Movember, its a play on the word November using the word "Moustache" (called a "mo" for short), hence Movember. (I'm sure there was a more correct way of explaining it, but you get the point!). Its when the men around the world (well mostly in OZ and NZ) grow a moustache in efforts to raise awareness and money for mens diseases...

So good old Kevin thought it'd be a good thing to do, especially with the number of people doing it in the office. It was also (secretly) a chance to see how I'd look like with a mo, not having a proper one before ;)

So I went about my business growing a mo, first and second day it seemed like I was keeping up with the crowd, but after that it got tragic real fast, my mo wasnt growing!!! People were having mean as handlebars and sideburns and I has little bean sprouts. My Chinese side was getting the better of me, suppresing the facial hair growth. So in the end Shaun (my colleague who also struggeld; he's half islander, quarter Chinese, quarter Caucasian) and I were consoling each other on the facial hair (or lack of it). We were also copping alot of slack from our colleagues! The things we do for charity!

Have raised a reasonable amount, but definately not my best fundraising effort.. if you'd like to contribute to my efforts, its at https://www.movember.com/nz/donate/donate-details.php?rego=1637611&country=nz

Oh and my mo is definately going off come December, copped enough slack for it ;)
