Hi everybody in SHC

I’m a new member and my name is Jassmine Teo. I came to know about the club through eNN (Seng Kang). I liked what I saw when I browsed through the club’s website. I could feel the sincerity and the humility in the tone of many of the posts I read, and this is the reason why I decided to join the club.

My interests are wide-ranging and I have an opinion on almost any subject or issue.  In my autumn years, my priority in life is voluntary service. I dream of starting a social enterprise for the disabled or needy, but being a greenhorn, I’m not sure about how to make a start. I hope to meet like-minded people in SHC and with their help, I hope to eventually realize my dream.

Thanks for reading this post.

Warmest regards

Jassmine

Hi members,

I just joined the SHC after hearing and reading all about your interesting activities.  I am semi retired working as a Receptionist and am enjoying every minute of it working part time.

I enjoy meeting people, going places, see plays and of course eating as well.

Hope to meet up soon.

Hi, fellow SHC members,

I would like to see similar interest members sharing there trading experiences here.  Hoping that we can benefit from each others experiences, be it good or bad but please by sure that its not going to be too personal and expect much HELP.

To start with, I am a trader with a local brokering house managing my own personal Fund only. My approach is Fundament and Technical Analysis. But mostly TA for the timing of my trading.

Invested thousands of $$$ on Investment Courses before doing Full Time as an independent Trader. If you are also a Trader, I am most happy to see if we can storm out some money making Strategy.

Hi folks, the trip is off. Can’t meet the min no. of pax to go. YewKwong will be returning the money to those who hve paid up. Thanks to those who hve supported and apologies to those who were looking forward to the trip. Well, this is the first time I organised a trip. Though it didn’t materialise, I got to know some better better. One thing for sure, I would like to be a member of any committee chaired by Lily, YewKwong and Andrew :-))..they ARE nice people to work with. Also will not forget dear Tim who so readily volunteer his participation just so that I can meet the min pax no. and not that he cares much abt Colmar or KL :-))). Thanks and sorry folks :-)))

My daughter, Louisa, from Melb. was planning to go to Thailand on 29/9 for a month with 2 friends.  Now the friends have back out and she has asked me to go with her.  I would appreciate some advice from those who have travelled to Thailand, e.g. where to go, hotel accommodation, etc.  I usually travelled with tour groups, and recently went to Krabi with some friends.    Any advice would be truly appreciated.  Many tks.

Greetings to all SHC members,

Our monthly walks for 2007 were conducted on the 2nd Saturday of each month, except February. It has been our pleasure to share some new as well as challenging routes this year.  We are delighted that many of you have enjoyed these trails. 

As year end draws nearer by the day, let’s culminate this year’s monthly walks with yet another nostaligic walk, a journey through time, perhaps.

Majestic trees are the natural heritage of our Island.  They serves as important green landmarks of our Tropical Garden city.  Some trees take more than hundreds of years to mature.  The world’s largest rainforest is in the Amazon River basin, BUT the oldest rainforests are found in Singapore! and Malaysia.

That’s ,,, our Botanic Gardens! a dynamic and living monument.  The Gardens at its present site was founded in 1859.  It has come a long way evolving into a leading equatorial botanic garden of 52 hectares.  Today, the Gardens, which is more than a hundred-years old is a "star" visitors’ attraction!

It seems like yesterday, our walk at the Singapore Botanic Gardens but, as I scrolled through the past walks, it was rather a long way back…..Sept06.  Some had then, requested to take the trail again. Though many months late, here it is, to fulfill certain wish!

Come, Be Enchanted by our Gardens…..’lights off’ at midnight.

Question for aquarium enthusiasts. How to stabilize the tank to prevent  fishes dying en-masse? 

A thriving aqua eco-system has many benefits. Feng Shui can be enhanced if properly located. It gives a cool, aesthetic feel to your home. Combine with a water feature, it can be meditiative and thereupatic.

Share your experience as how to keep a aquarium buzzing with life.

Calling all members residing in the Heart of Singapore (Central Area).  Perhaps we could also have our very own group! As a starter we could have a meal together - be it at the famous Casurina Roti Prata or Thai food at Chong Pang.  Any other food venues are most welcome.  How about having it on a Saturday evening?  We could share our common interests, future events and frequency in greater depths.  Please do join me with your sharings.
