Wen Hon has been very kind to agree to share with us his knowledge on forex trading. He has attended two option courses years ago but he still feels the few days of learning is not enough.   However, he believes success begins with using one’s own hands, coupled with determination to succeed.  Putting in one’s own money also helps;

I have not set a date yet, although I will announce soon.  Asian equity markets are showing signs of upward movements.  And, economists are still unsure with US job data.  Seems good news dont last; bad news too.

Abel, RonaldL, HenryY, ChristinaP, RichardB, RobertO, HouCong, let’s keep hearing from you.  What’s your view this week?

Good morning cycling kakis !

Due to commitements - I missed out the Penggarang cycling trip–this time I make sure I do not miss the Sept monthly group cycling- so I am submitting my name NOW even b/4 registration opens !!

Cycling had been in my blood - for 3 years of my secondary education in Malacca - I cycled daily about 4 kilometres rain / shine to school ( + of course cycled back home - no play cheat - lah by taking bus home !!!!)

Last month my son with his Deutche Bank Vietnamese collegue toured Hue / Hoi An ( Central Vietnam ) by the usual A/C van + a very unique bicycle riding tour exploring Hoi An (small town ) then was escorted cycling to a farm visit where they had some hands -on >herbal foot massage> learn simple Viet snacks cooking >then lunch in the farm with all the freshness vegees ! He had the Viet. tour agency which organises this 4D3N tour of Hoi Ann + Hue .

As I had been to North / South Viet. but not Central -I am thinking of organising the usual A/C bus tour + 3/4 day Hoi Ann town + farm visit cycling trip ! I had checked with the local Viet. tour - my calculations based on 8 persons group : with Silkair return flight 4D3N+ food + hotel stays -cost per adult is about SGD 800 . More persons go -less to pay – Silkair flight now is about SGD 460 - hope price do not go up !!!

I intend to go from 29 October ( Fri) >> return on 1 Nov ( Mon) OR 12 Nov (Fri ) to 15 Nov ( Mon) .  Silkair also flies there on Wed >> << Saturdays — I am free to go on these dates also!

Anyone interested ?? I shall go with min. 8 cyclists to bring the costs down !!! for those non -cyclist if have sufficient numbers I shall talk to the Viet. tour to provide A/C van transport all the way !

 Regards to all from Fong Fong

A date has been tentatively set for the next Fleamart, if not most likely, on Sat 20 Nov 2010.  Time is likely from 0900 hrs to 1500 hrs.  Location is not firmed yet.

Members interested to take up a stall are encouraged to take note of this date and time.  If you have items for sale, you may indicate them under this Post.  Pre-orders are also encouraged.  Commercial items or products are not allowed.  So, go ahead, whether new items, old items, used items, sealed and packed edible items.

Any form of sale or advertising outside this Post not accepted, and likely will be deleted.  This is a once or twice a year event where selling is permitted, at the SHC Fleamart.

Where possible, the location will be opened to the public for the sale of products.  However, all stalls will be made available to SHCians only.

Suggestions or ideas welcome.  However, please do not be disappointed if any idea is not taken up.  Have fun.  And, of course, if you raise your hands to offer assistance, I will be most pleased; but again, please do not be disappointed if I do not pick it up.  But, no harm, trying too.

The plan is to concide this Fleamart with the November monthly gathering.

SHC members are creative, knowledgeable, fun and out of this world.  We have all reached a stage when some of us are entering the second phase of their lives.  Still for some, the adventure starts at the third stage.  But, there are plenty of things we want to do.  We want to climb trees.  We want to travel to places we have never been to.  To Ho Chinh Minh, to Bandung.  To Taiwan.  To …..   We want to get out of the four walls.  All these 30 years, we have been working.

We want to cycle all over the island, and to places other cyclists have been to.  We want to pick up dancing, and dance all night.  Gosh, there is no end.  And, we always tell ourselves, we need to start somewhere.

SHC, on its own, does not organise any activity.  It is purely a platform whereby SilverHairs get to meet new friends.  Activities are always, as a result, of these gatherings.  Activities are also the result of initiatives of members.  Membership is simple.  It is also lifetime; and all members are encouraged to organise at least one activity during the life of their membership.

Back to Porn night.  I like to dream.  Of course, share the dream with you too.  This time around, I have been thinking that a Porn night will work for us.  We are all over 45.  Nothing too shy to discuss and nothing too inhibitive to consider such ideas as absurd, vulgar and distasteful.  We open our minds and our ears.  We see and we participate.  Why not?

We all know what is a porn magazine.  There are porn websites.  Some are free, and others are pay-to-view.  There are sex shops, that sell exciting things like used underwears and used condoms.  Our kids are equally exposed to porn.  My 11-year old son is now asking me, "Pa, come and have a look".  So, much about porn.

If we open our minds, and if we have a Porn night, what and how do you think this event will be like?  I think Nov and Dec are tempting months.  Let’s go for it.

Hi guys and gals;

I fully agree for any meet should have a/ agendas - so that those attending knows / prepares for it - more concrete results can be seen. After the "serious agenda meeting " - then all can let their hair down to enjoy themselves as per normal !

Such first meet must - as suggested have a committee formed - a member as the main co-ordinator ( MCO )  for a particular activity. MCO will invite other members to assist him/her in planning / organising the activity.

Are we allowed as a non-registered club to have such a set-up ??? Someone needs to check on this ! Other than that I am most willing to step forward and be counted on to be one of the committee!

Cheers - have nice days ahead

Regards : Fong Fong ( tenmeng@gmail.com.sg )

The Walk EO Team:  
Charles Wee, Veronica Wong, Mary Tan & Jeffrey Lim, Joyce Tan, Serene Low, Conrad Tang and me, ChristinaCL Chan,,,, signing off,,,,,,,

Most of us are glad to be a member at the Silverhairs Club and appreciate what Terence has done in providing a platform for us to meet. So far Terence has suggested and introduce many activities and carry it through in the last few years. As member we are happy to be part of this and look forward to more participation to come.

Is there something we could do or suggest to bring the club to the next level? Out of this Club many smaller groups are formed and they in turn meet up privately and persue their common interest.

The September meeting will be different from what we had previously. Live singing  by Jeffrey Gan on the keyboard and karoeke singing where member brings their own cd wll be the happenings of the day! Board and card games will also be encourage where member can look for other member sharing similar interest.

I would like to see more participation from member, how about meeting up and have a time where various member can share their thought and mission in life, something in line with Toastmaster International. Having our meeting in Han’s may not provide the privacy needed in such sharing by public speaking. We need to find a place more enclosed for such.

We all come from various background, there will be something exciting to share. Having to make comment on the post may be prohibiting as certain topic may be sensitive. When we meet and listen to fellow member share their goals and ideal in life, a certain bond are created.

Volunteers will be ask to share something about their life that  is memorable and enriching. Do you know that I have tried bungee jumping just because I was trying to get someone’s attention. Oh, there are so much to share and talk about.

It may be just meeting up and sharing each other profile and ideal in life. So, fellow member come to this September gathering. I would want to try something out where we allocate a time frame for each of us to speak out and suggest what they want to see happening in this unigue Club! So many thing I would want to share, my life, my passion and motivation in life and of course some of you may want to share too. Let’s hear from you?
