Hi everybody,

The good thing with members of this forum is that there is no shortage of suggestions.  The latest suggestion is to link a member’s Post or Comment to his/her photo.  I think it is a good idea too, but gosh this is going to take up a lot of time.  But, I think it is good and we should go ahead.  Very often, we cannot tell one June from another June or even another June.

Putting up a photo is optional.  So, it goes like this.  When you read a Post or a comment, you will see this, for example.

Name: Terence | E-mail: terences@silverhairsclub.com | URI: http://silverhairsclub.com | IP: 58.143.73.0

Usually, the URI is empty.  This is because there is no link to a webpage.  We can link your photo to the above URI.

As this requires time, I would like two show of hands.  The job is to take a photo of forum members (optional), and upload this to the SHC server.  Alternatively, the forum participant sends you a digital photo.  This photo is then given to the forum member, as a URI link.  The URI link is inserted into the forum member’s profile.  So, when a Post or Comment is posted, new members can click on the URI and see the photo.

I have to apologise I am unable to do this function due to my travel schedule.  If you would like to do this task, please raise your hand.  The requirement is you must be willing to spend 30 mins a day, anytime of the day.  Important you have a PC, preferably with broadband access.  Ideally, you should be retired, and very patient with forum members who are not internet savvy.  No experience is not a problem, as you will be trained.  You must love chatting, and loves meeting members, especialy at monthly gatherings.  Should have a simple digital camera, if not, one will be provided.  Male or Female.  Age over 45.  This is volunteer service, and the term is two years, ending 31 Dec 2007.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear All,

First of all, pls let me thank Terence who granted me the membership.Briefly I am a very keen tennis player. I played 4 - 5 times a week with my fellow  residents.

I would like to invite if there are any tennis players who are interested to play. Besides  I also loved Karaoke , Chinese and Hokkien songs.

Have been introduced to SilverHairsClub.  I have read the postings and found them interesting.  I am interested in karaoke, shopping, concerts, going to music lounges.  I have retired last Oct (early retirement).  I was working as a secretary.  Hope to meet members one of these days.

Hi all members,

Just joined about a week ago. I am 53 yrs old, still working full time, have one son studying in Perth and one daughter studying in Poly. Have been very much preocucupied with work, and not much time spend on leisure. 

I hope to get out and about more and get to meet more people. I play a bit of golf (mainly at driving range), table tennis (rusty already). Looking forward to join some of the activities and attending the next monthly gathering. Cheers!   

Information Specially for all the new members:

Monthly walks are held every 2nd Saturday of the month, rain or shine we will be there!  Thunder & lightning, we shall all be hiding!

Dear all SHCians,

This month, together, let us scale our country’s only Mount, which is also one of the oldest park, MT Faber.

Some asked "can climb meh?"  Let me assure you, YOU CAN!    

Come along and you shall be pleasantly surprised when soon you reached the top of the Mount !

There are a few trails.  Marang Trail has been selected because of its location and that it has a combination — a route for an easier climb yet, the same route also provides a slightly different gradient for those who need a little more legwork.  NO back breaking, leg hurting trail like the one I had trudged long ago.

Let’s Get Physical!!! for 10 to 15mins  — a sky reach; an arch; a stretch perhaps, is what you need.

Then with nimble feet you shall rise up the Mount, to behold the panoramic view of the skyline,the southern part of Singapore and the southern islands.

This view shall take your breath away, not so much the climb!  

A ship in calm waters, nostalgic trails, treasures of history and a Jewel you will find; a conquestto boast!  2 hours on a Mount, as you linger… as the wind whispers ….
