Pictures of the 2nd Dinner & Dance, 29 Mar 2008

Hi Caroline, Dolly and fellow SHCians,

I was hoping to have the photographs up on this forum last night.  Overslept, and too tired last night.  Well here they are.  http://www.silverhairsclub.com/SHC/SHC080329/.  The photographs were taken by Dan Huang and Yew Kwong.  Supereb shots.

No prize for getting it right, but can you recognise the names of everybody who came last night?  Which picture do you like best?  Which was the funniest shot?   Can you suggest which picture or which picture crop we can use to replace the banner of our website?  Alright, let your thoughts run wild.

Monthly Walk: 12th April (Sat) PipeLine Ramble I

Leaders: 
Jeffrey Lim & ChristinaCL Chan

Date:    12
April 2008
(Saturday)

Trail:    PipeLine
Ramble I

from Outram Park mrt / Pearl’s Hill ending at Farrer Road (Holland Road/Queensway)

Start Time: we shall start the walk at 4.00pm sharp! Do plan to arrive punctually.  

Duration: approx 3 hours.

Meeting Point: MRT Station: Outram, Street Level. (East/West Line exit along Outram Road, not the NE line exit).

"Most
of you would know that a water pipeline runs from Johor to Singapore but have anybody thought to trace
the route? 
I was told
for robust walkers, the entire trail of approx 21 km will take approx 8 to
9hours!emoticon

For us, “leisure
walkers”, this exciting, challenging trail will be introduced in 3 separate
segments.  Each part of the route has a
different terrain and each opens up a part of Singapore seldom seen.

The 1st
segment shall be from Pearl‘s Hill to Farrer Road, approx 7 km.

With a good
pace, it could be covered in approx 3 hours; hence, the need to start off
punctually!

The terrain
is undulating – ups and downs but not much
steps.  It is not the “usual walk in the
park”; it is exploratory; think of it as a Mini Trek! There will be some rough
sections.

This 1st
segment will end at Farrer Road (near to Holland Road/Queensway,
not Bukit Timah). 

As usual we
shall end the walk by having dinner and more fellowship together .  emoticon

However, the renovation
works of the nearby food centre might be still on-going. 

Suggest to
dine at a nearby restaurant which has good food at quite reasonable cost —

Westlake
Restaurant, Blk
4 Queen’s Road  #02-139, Singapore 260004, prior reservation
might be necessary.

Register
here. (Do indicate whether you wish to join us for dinner at Westlake).

 

Note: Buses plying along Farrer Road: 93, 153, 165, 174, 186, 855 and 961 (check it out!) 

 

Till then,

JeffreyLim & ChristinaCL

Sweeter Smell of Durians

It is about time that the King of Fruits is rehabilatated. Can this great local fruit  be nice to eat  and yet good for health.

Is it just a old wives tale that mangosteen is antidote for durians. Is it true that rinsing with durian shell will get rid of the smell.

What is the truth and what is myth. If the truth is known can we now eat, eat and eat.

Yipeeee…

Fried Durian and 10 Fastastic Food for Over 50s

"Goreng Durian”  looks like goreng pisang at $1.60 at
piece,  – at Old Airport Road Hawker centre  #1-05 
 

Comment: Fantastic better than normal durain , as it feels hot , 10
times better than apple pie, I think if someone  MacDurian this
and be the latest hot cake in town like Papa Roti .

Anyone knows how bad or how good durain is ?  

10 Fantastic Foods that you should not miss  for Over-50s

Eating
the right food can hold back the years and keep us feeling and looking
good. As we get older, we need less food, but more nutrients to stay
healthy. Here are vitamin-rich options to include in your daily diet.

1. Brown rice. A lot of people shy away from carbohydrates because of
their reputation for causing weight gain, but they’re crucial for
maintaining energy levels. Stick to whole grains such as brown rice and
bread, and whole-grain cereals, which provide plenty of fiber. This can
help to lower cholesterol levels, reduce your risk of heart disease,
colon cancer, gall stones, diabetes and obesity, and is vital for
keeping your bowels healthy — they can become less active as we age.

2. Eggs. They’ve had a lot of bad press, but eggs are good for you —
and now it seems there’s no need to avoid them, even if you’re worried
about cholesterol. They’re a great source of protein and lutein, which
protects your eyes against degeneration and cataracts. Studies suggest
they can help to prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attack
and stroke — a recent study found that eating six eggs a week lowered
the risk of breast cancer by 44 percent. Nutritionists now say having
one or two eggs a day doesn’t cause a noticeable increase in
cholesterol levels because the body makes its own from the saturated
fats in our diet and not from cholesterol-rich foods like eggs.

3. Milk. As we age, our calcium requirements rise, so it’s important to
include lots of calcium-rich foods in your diet every day. Low-fat
cow’s milk has loads of health benefits. It’s packed full of calcium,
needed for strong, healthy bones and for preventing osteoporosis. It
also helps prevent the bone loss caused by the menopause or rheumatoid
arthritis. Drink two glasses of low-fat milk every day, or include
low-fat yogurts and calcium-enriched fruit juices in your diet.

4. Spinach. Popeye had the right idea fueling up on this superfood.
Calorie for calorie, it holds more nutrients than any other food. It’s
a particularly good source of iron; vitamins C, A and K; and
antioxidants which may help to protect against heart attack and stroke.
Spinach can help protect you from colon cancer, osteoporosis and
arthritis. Like eggs, it’s packed with lutein — great for your eyes —
so try a breakfast of steamed spinach with poached eggs.

5. Bananas. Just one of these yellow fruits provides a whopping 467
milligrams of potassium, which is important for keeping your muscles
strong and healthy (particularly the heart) and even helps reduce high
blood pressure. Bananas are a good source of fiber, which can help
prevent heart disease, and they have an antacid effect, so they’re
useful for treating heartburn.

Add chopped bananas to oatmeal for a vitamin-rich breakfast, or blend
them with a bit of low-fat yogurt or milk and some fruit juice for a
power-packed smoothie. Other good sources of potassium are lentils,
sardines and dried apricots.

6. Chicken. Not only is it one of the most versatile meats, it’s one of
the healthiest. Stick to the breast, which has the least fat, and
remove the skin.

Chicken is packed with protein and helps prevent bone loss. It’s also a
good source of selenium, an important nutrient in preventing cancer,
and B vitamins, which help to increase energy and boost your brain
powers.

7. Salmon. It’s rich in omega-3 fats, which reduce cholesterol levels,
protect against some cancers, and prevent blood clotting. Research has
also shown that salmon can help ease depression and prevent memory
loss. It’s a good source of niacin, which has been shown to provide
protection against Alzheimer’s.

Aim to eat fresh or tinned salmon at least three times a week. Walnuts are another great source of omega-3s.

8. Blueberries. These little marvels are very low in calories, but
bursting with nutrients. They are packed with antioxidants that help to
prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, stomach
ulcers, heart disease and cancer.

They have also been shown to help lessen brain damage after a stroke
and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract — helping to tackle
constipation and diarrhea.

9. Herbs. As we age, our sense of taste declines, and it’s all too easy
to chuck in tons of salt to make food more appetizing. But as salt
increases your blood pressure, it’s healthier to jazz up your meals by
adding herbs and spices. Fresh herbs tend to taste stronger, but for
convenience, keep a selection of dried herbs in the cupboard.

10. Garlic. For such a small vegetable, garlic has huge benefits. It
helps prevent cancers, heart disease and reduces the risk of stroke. It
also has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce pain and
swelling caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It can also
help those with diabetes. If you can’t stand the flavor, try taking
taste-free garlic capsules.

Four Things to Avoid:

    * Sweets: These will make you pile on the pounds as
they provide lots of calories, but no nutrients. Limit your sugar
intake, too.
    * Salt: Your sense of taste diminishes as you age,
but avoid adding salt as it increases blood pressure. And look out for
"hidden" salt in gravy mixes, etc.
    * Alcohol: Have no more than two small drinks a day
— booze is full of calories and can stop your body absorbing vitamins.
Red wine is a healthier choice.
    * Saturated fats: These are found in meats, cheese,
chicken skin and ice cream. They increase your cholesterol levels and
make you put on weight.
    * ****

Pigs’ trotters: the new superfood

Pigs’ feet: the new superfood -Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 03/03/2008

As Britain’s spending on cosmetic surgery soars, Fiona MacDonald Smith suggests it’s time that we chopped and changed our diet instead

The latest anti-ageing food? Pigs’ trotters. That’s right, you heard it here first. In New York, the most talked-about new opening of the past couple of months has been a Japanese restaurant called Hakata Tonton, where 33 out of the 39 dishes contain pigs’ feet.

Young and older face
Isn’t there a cheaper solution to cosmetic surgery?

The reason for this, according to its owner, Himi Okajima, is that they are rich in collagen, the protein responsible for skin and muscle tone, more recognisable to beauty addicts in the form of face creams and fillers.

“Collagen helps your body retain moisture,” says Okajima, who has introduced a chain of restaurants specialising in collagen cuisine in Japan. “Your hair and skin will look better, but it’s not just for looking beautiful now. If you begin eating collagen in your thirties, you will look younger in your forties.”

Maybe this sounds a little improbable (“It’s news to me,” sniffs Lisa Miles of the British Nutrition Foundation. “I’ve certainly never heard of eating collagen”) but Okajima believes he is on to something. Figures published last month show that British spending on cosmetic surgery is the highest in Europe, hitting nearly £500 million in 2006, four times more than in 2001.

Isn’t there a cheaper solution? (Mary is this not one of your favorite diet ? )

What is the recipe for staying alive after retirement!

Someone sent me an extract from our MM LKY on the abovementioned subject. How true it is  that when we feels that at 55 and more we can relax and do nothing, that is the greatest mistake we will have made in our life!

The human being is a social animal. We need to work, to socialise, to be involve in some form of activities. We need stimuli, we need to meet people, to catch up with the world, if we isolate ourselves we are done for!

When we are younger, doing a cross-country run is no issue, swimming ten to twenty laps is no ptoblem! As we grow older, it quite a different story. We move slower, we lack stamina, we suffer muscle cramps! 

 

Going Bananas

Besides yoghurt, the banana is another on my list of my amazing foods. 

We are fortunate to have this highly prized  fruit, favoured by many foreigners,  as a local fruit. Bananas are relatively cheap here and can be grown in our backyard.  

After reading through the long list of benefits, you may have a totally different perspective of the fruit. The banana is a meal-in-one and can replace expensive supplements.

Throw out the junk food. Fix your craving with home-made yoghurt, bananas and nuts. Stay healthy, live longer and defend your standard of living.  Natural bananas don’t keep and you should never put it into the fridge. So the next banana you’ll  have is probably a fresh one.  

Perphaps, monkeys are really  on the next rung "UP" on  the evolutionary ladder. The kind of junk food that people consume may very well drive us to extinction.

Yes. You can have your banana and eat it too.

A Tryst with Money

WARNING: Anyone who is easily offended by matters related to money should avoid this thread altogether. This is a discussion thread on investments, trading and income generation matters. Remember this is a discussion not a lecture. It may contain counter  points in advocacy, defence  and passionate debate.
 
One cannot have a thread on cars without discussing brands eg BMW, Merc etc. So it is with investments. The important thing is not to mix endorsement with analysis. Anyone should declare commercial interest, if exist, when discussing specific products and service by brand. If the discussion is general eg when discussing CFD as a class of instruments then there is no need to do so.
 
The other extreme of not allowing any discussion on money matters is equally bad.  This thread on investment and strategies is to provide options and alternatives. It is used to educate and help members to approach retirement funding in a more pragmatic manner.  It could be immensely beneficial to participants but only if they possess enough knowledge to discriminate between different points of view. 

Members can learn much from the experience and expertise from fellow members. In shielding one group, we do not want to deprive another.

Hi Hi All

I came to know of this club only a few weeks ago, thru a friend.  After hearing and reading all about your activities, I have decided to join and sign up for the cycling trip to Penggerang on April 12.

It really took me quite a while to figure out how to sign up for the trip.  Thanks to Terence for his guidance.

I am more of a outdoor person though sometimes love to laze around in the house (hei hei emoticon). I am still working full time in a land surveying firm.

My interests are cycling(not pro), walks, travelling cum trekking (moderate ok, strenuous no no) and badminton. So badminton kakis out there, when will be the next session, hope to meet up with you all and also meeting up with the rest, SHCians.

Cheers…..

In Search of a New Identity

Following Terence’s clarion call for new directions, we find ourselves faced with many challenges.  Let’s continue discussing the issues and  our options here.

New face comes with new name. We will start a search for a new identity. This will be next month’s SHC Challenge. We’ll announce  the next prize after last night’s winner has collected the prize for Singapore National Dish on Monday.  In case, it is not collected we will snowball  the millions over  to the next session. Like Toto. Don’t worry. In the meantime, we’ll put the float  to a good  Poor cause. Like Shareholders’ Bonus Dividends.

Hee-hee. 

OK. Here is the name list for  March’s SHC Challenge "New  Name". Put in your bid.

What is classified as a SHC activity?

Frequently, I have been asked if non-SHC members can join our functions.  So, I like to clarify as follows.  For a gathering or activity to be classified as a SHC activity,  it can only be attended by SHC members.

At the same time, I would also encourage SHCians to organise their own gatherings or activities, and still make use of this forum.  However, please do not call or classify the activity or gathering as a SHC activity, if non-SHC members are invited to attend.  You are encouraged to invited other SHC members to attend your activities and particiate in your interests.

I hope this clarifies "What is an SHC activity?".

Hi

Actually heard of the SHC sometime ago but only realise how active it is recently.  Therefore am joining to have more interactions with my peers and to enjoy an impending retirement (hopefully not too long in the future) with the various activites the Club has.

Currently working in a consumer company selling photographic products, besides swimming, power walks, cycling, reading and travelling, I also play mahjong, scrabble and am taking up bridge lessons.  Am also a social, 9-hole golfer, playing aimlessly for years but more for some social interaction, and exercise and as an added activity for overseas trips rather than serious golf.   Can see many more things which I would like to do but like any working adult, time is always a deterrent.

Anyway am looking very much forward to my first activity with the Club, ie cycling to Penggerang on 12 April.  See you all.
