Towards the end and reaching Desaru, the road turns roller coaster with spectacular up hills and down hills with no houses in sight for 15km. One way, from jetty to Desaru, is about 50km. douglas Members going on this Trip - Members joining Training session - Click here for photos
Hi all I am a dog lover and owned a dog once upon a time but my beloved dog has since gone to heaven. I would love to own a dog again but felt it unfair as I cannot commit the time to take care of it….However, I would like to volunteer to provide free boarding to dog lovers who plan to go for holiday and has nowhere to put their dog. I know dog boarding homes are horrible and no loving care is provided. But pls ensure your dog is toilet trained. Ciao…

This is meant for members to seek advice on relationship,friendship and even parent/child problems.While I do not claim to be Mr KNOW-ALL on every subject I have been analysed by the DISC system as being equitable ,fair and objective and a good problem solver(in real life good at solving other people’s problems but not my own problems).I am not a qualified phsychologist but I do have good old COMMONSENSE to steer me through the minefields of different opinions and solutions.
I may not be the best man for this job even though my buddy TIM voted me the champion writer(biased opinion since he is my buddy…blush ,blush) regarding the Tan Chin Boon debacle but I actually respected and agrred that Charles Chua’s observations about polarisation into 2 camps was particularly succinct and spot on.Although I do not agree with his conclusion that the initiator is laughing at us at the ruckus he has made.In the words of Ronald Koh …right or wrong that is the beauty of SHC.While Charles Chua and myself do not agree on everything but at least we agree on the more important things and like TIM(we don’t always agree) we continue to be mature about it and respect each other despite our opinions.
Perhaps my harsh criticism of the over the top responses may not be entirely(most were and deservedly spanked verbally) correct for all but for some though harsh and biased may have been appropriate in that context with the benefit of hinsdsight and reflection.In the end I think both Charles and myself were wrong in our conclusions…I said he would disappear if he did not apologise and Charles on the laughing at the ruckus part.If I am not mistaken although he was a noshow in the forum by 24 Aug and I was disappointed he did not respond further in at least a limited apology that he is still attending functions with the support of some members(can anybody confirm?)
I have been fooling around and having FUN with supposedly gambling(investment if you win consistently and definitely more productive returns than TOTO and 4D if you have the expertise.Tim I have a proposal for you… tip 4D consistently at least in theory on the forum and bet on your lucky numbers and see who wins more or looses less in the long run…hello must tip before draw ,OK?).In this post I would like to share serious workable advice and solutions to personal problems.
This is how this post should work:
1) somebody poses a problem(if you are shy you can also present it as a friend’s problem)
2) I give advice and offer a possible solution
3) other members(jury) offer their inputs and advice
4)Review and I will give final advice. Either I shift my opinion slightly or entirely(not likely)to incorporate these inputs or if I disagree than I have to state why.
5) Initiator of the query has the option to comment and let us know whether he/she is taking the advice with a pinch of salt or implementing it.Over time report back and review whether it has worked or otherwise
Remember if criticisms are shot like arrows (even at me) than we should all remain COOL and not take it personally for the sake and interests of our fellow members.Do not take this post too (hot under the collar or steam between the ears)or indulge in name calling. or 4 letter words.(no hints or codes also)Attaching a label or tag after backing up your point with reasoning should be the order of the day.
I have in mind for members to share a range of useful tips that SHC members can find useful.No I am not talking about horse racing,soccer tips(which are my areas of interest)
An example is that my mother says when I do the washing I must be turn the clothing inside out,zippers must be zipped up and buttons unbuttoned.How many of you out there who does not do it this way please own up and share how this advice has proven useful.
I have 3 travel tips to share ; when traveling always take the name card of the hotel when you go out as taxi drivers have a bad habit of sending you to the wrong hotel and then apologise profusely for hearing wrongly.With the card and name of the hotel written in the local language they will have less excuse of doing so.
The other tip when taking the MRT , METRO, MTR , the TUBE or the UNDERGROUND especially if the language is foreign as in France is to look for the end station when changing lines and not look for directions for the station you intend to go to.For example when going to Dover when coming from the airport do not look for directions to Dover but look for directions to Boon Lay,Of course you need a station guide or map as well!
Another tip is to learn a few useful phrases in the local language eg in France "ou er de toilette?(where is the toilet? How much? Where is the —— ?
If you are a sushi fan please take note that certain outlets(not restaurants) offer a 50% discount 30 mins before closing time.
I used to leave my battery in my laptop even when I was using the power plug connection.Now I know that u should remove the battery when using the power connection.You should also drain the battery as much as possible if u use the battery.In this way your battery life will be much longer.
When I find my notes I will share how certain stains are removed.
Members can also share survival tips ,camping tips cooking tips,how to get nice phone numbers without paying extra like 93833883 or 96998511,tips on weight reduction,how to stave of the onset of wrinkles,special diet or healthy food programmes,cosmetic tips,travel tips,foodie tips on where the best is for certain types for certain types of food,how to travel with children,investment tips,business tips,where to get bargains,household tips,how to keep food fresh for a longer period in the fridge,how to make things last longer,where to buy the best durians or where to get tasteful durians at decent prices,how to cut down your handphone bills when overseas.I cant possibly cover every subject so I leave it to members to create new ideas
Tips can also be negative: how to avoid getting ripped off,how to avoid bad situations,share bad experiences or knowledge of bad experiences so members can avoid falling into the same traps.
One tip when buying a car or something similar make sure before you sign read the receipt or contract as to whether it includes the GST or excludesand state so clearly.One conman try to con my friend out of an extra GST payment after the deposit was paid.Luckily she got out of a tight spot when I advise her to call their bluff as the road tax was expiring soon and they backed off.
Let this post also be an avenue for members to get advice on issues not related to friendships and relationships or personal issues.(this we can cover in another agony uncle post that I might initiate soon).So if you have a non personal problem or dilemna you can ask fellow members for advice!Caveat Emptor clause applies…use it at your own discretion.
I hope SHC members are willing to share and sometimes in the process embarass themselves(you can always say you were told by a friend…) and help each other by sharing our wealth of Silverhairs experience.
Illuminate each other with your glow , light the candle and lift the darkness upon us!
NO MATTER HOW OLD WE ARE WE CAN NEVER STOP LEARNING PEARLS OF WISDOM!

http://digital.asiaone.com/print/Digital/Digital.html Curtains for pirated Windows Those using illegal copies could find their screens going black and icons vanishing. -NST Wed, Aug 27, 2008 PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: From today, those with pirated copies of the Windows XP Professional operating system in their computers that are Internet-capable could find their screens going black and the icons vanishing as Microsoft Corp gets tough. There are 8.6 million users of Windows XP Pro in Malaysia and about three million are expected to suffer the "blackouts", according to Microsoft Malaysia. To continue working, users will need to reset the machine’s desktop background. All will return to normal, but only for 60 minutes before another blackout occurs. The only "cure" is to get a licensed copy of the operating system from a Microsoft reseller or going online at www.microsoft. com/malaysia/genuine. Each licence costs RM580. The initiative is part of Microsoft’s anti-piracy campaign, dubbed Windows Genuine Advantage, aimed at educating users on the benefits of using genuine software, Microsoft Malaysia client business group director K.T. Ng told The Star yesterday. |

Here are some wise words I came across, would like to share, you may want to post some of the beautiful verses that you may have read some where.
Here it goes:-
Age is an issue of mind driven matter, If you don’t mind, it dosen’t matter.
The key to everything is patience. You get the chickens by hatching the eggs, not by smashing it.
Life is journey, not a guided tour, never let fear of striking out to get in your way,when you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Time is the coin of life, it’s the only coin you have, and only you can determine, how it will be spent, Be careful, lest you let others spend for you.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well lived, make every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
To handle yourself, use your head, To Handle others, use your heart.
Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
Make a date to meet Patrick Khoo from 2.00pm onwards at Asian Civilizations Museum(next to Victoria Memorial and near the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles…for deatailed map log on to www.acm.org.sg or drop me an email at insiders111@yahoo.com.sg and I will send you an email with map and full day programme).
Besides the free ticket to HCMC Lucky Draw(just fill form…don’t have to be present)I will give you(not me actually) free Milo welcome drink for all and balloons for your kids.My booth will have a lucky dip where you will have a chance to win a exquisite Vietnamese embroidery painting,Vietnamese hats,caps (not those made in France)and T-shirts.The ?th (number connected with my date of birth)SHC member who visits my booth if he does get a prize in the lucky dip will be guaranteed (fixed legally) to win a Vietnamese hat from me.
This exhibit is the same as Steven Chan’s post in June but the programme for the whole day which starts at 11.00am is different. I would suggest you come from 2.00pm onwards to see the martial arts experts from Vietnam and they will be followed by 5 hot ladies from an all girl pop fusion band.Admission is free instead of the usual S$8.There will also be perfomances from award winning modern dancers,story telling for kids,Games for young and silverhairs,free lessons on how to make water fairy puppets and paper lanterns.
There will be a special preview of a Silverhair HCMC/Nha Trang(no swimming in seas due Monsoon season)/Cantho City Tour with itinerary based on recommendations and input from experienced Viet Trippers like Kenneth Tan,Dee Ang,Lena Wang,Jassmine Teo and last but not least the effervescent Steven Chan(maps were useful).This tour is based on clean and comfortable budget accomodation and outstanding exotic food like Tamarind Crab,Elephant ear fish,Vietnamese seafood dinner,BBQ dinner,Giant rice balls,gourmet lunch by hotel resort chef ,outstanding French restaurant and visit to ice cream parlour.Other highlights include visit to Hot Spring Mineral bath and waterfalls,a light sleeper luxury train overnight from HCMC/Nha Trang/HCMCvisit to Pearl Farm and a chance to see the Ghe Cho Festival in Cantho where you will see the incandescent paper lanterns powered by burning oil careen into the air(yes these lanterns actually fly as seen in an Andy Lau movie).This tour is from 08Nov to 16Nov based on minimum 15 to go.(if numbers are less than 15 the rates will be higher with no Singapore Tour Leader Escort).Final pricing and basic itinerary will be posted in the forum when prices are finalised.This special tour is not a typical standard tour but has been specially designed to meet SHC tastes and can be tailored to suit SHC members needs and budget eg Pearl Farm tour can be chopped if 100km travel from Nha Trang is considered too long a journey.Number of days can also be shortened if budget turns out to be high.
The other programmes at this "Vietnam experience" include Vietnamese food and mooncakes , an outdoor pop fusion concert and other entertainment from 8.00pm to 11.00pm.Of course you will a 2nd chance to see the interesting museum exhibits from Vietnam if you missed it the 1st time with Steven.
If you are a CITIBANK clear card holder you will get a $60 per couple discount for our Vietnam Spa promotion.
If you drop a deposit for any of our other tours for that day you will be entitled to a $30 discount(normally given to travel agents) from our standard tour prices.
Bring your kids along and have a fun time and get a chance to win interesting prizes(Anybody wants to baby sit the Big Baby and keep me company are welcome…will buy you a drink…not Milo of course).Cheers!
A story from Eleanor Chan, I put it on the post to let more members read it. Don’t want anyone miss it. May be you had read the story before (like me), let see will it touch you again (like me). The story:
————————————————————————————————————————————-
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything and talked about anything. They kept no secrets from each other except for a shoe box the little old woman placed on top of her closet. She cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about it.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box until one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and brought it to his wife’s bedside.
She agreed that it was time he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He asked her about the contents. ‘When we were to be married,’ she said, ‘my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me if I ever were angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.’
The little old man was so moved that he had to fight back his tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
‘Honey,’ he said, ‘that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?’
‘Oh,’ she said, ‘that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.’

Responses to “Monthly Gathering Oct 15, 2008 - Call for Dancers”
- Dan Huang Says:
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:23 amHi James,
Your slot 2 should read 7.30-7.45pm. What’s a challenging tasks for you to cope! Are you considering to include line dancing?
Lily Ho, shall we perform the Latin cha cha as we did at the last D n D or coming up with a new set of dance?
Molly Chus, how about a dance item, perhaps Waltz? Now that the SNF is down with a fever, let’s channel the energy here!
Ron Wie, how about getting your jamming team to sing and the dancers will follow in tune?
It’s a time to destress and unwind and at the same time riding on the unhappiness that beset us! Sometimes going through a bad patch helps us to re-inforce the good things in life that we took for granted!
At this point in life, let’s dance whenever the occasion called for, let’s sing the blues away, let’s live as there so much to live for!
Let’s make this monthly gathering something different. Put our hands together to help James. There will also be a lot of new friend to meet, let’s also make it a time for healings!

August 22nd, 2008 at 11:28 amHi James
Thanks for your invitation to perform at your coming Oct’s gatherings. Alice and I are sorry to say that we are not able to accept, as we have a prior engagement on a wedding reception on that day in question. Moreover, we do dance only for enjoyment ourselves and for fun, we do not like to perform.
We wish you the best endeavour in the forth-coming dance show case.
Ron n Alice Lai

Leaders for this walk: Mary Tan & ChristinaCL Chan
This time round, it is not just the Boardwalk that you gonna walk! We have planned some extras so you will be stretched……….but it is easy for your feet, the route is beautiful and very scenic; lots of greenery and water…..
A favourite family and recreational destination since colonial times, Changi Point today continues to draw people with its idyllic setting and laid-back charm. With its lure of lush greenery, breezy corners, gentle seas and colonial charm, Changi Point provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.
A walk along the rustic Changi Point coastline is not to be missed! A charming boardwalk takes you through lush greenery and undulating terrain along the rugged western coastline, while a meandering waterfront walkway along the eastern beachfront creates an interesting tropical experience of sea and sand. Viewing decks and pavilions along the way enable you to pause, soak in the sea breeze and enjoy the excellent views out at sea.
The Changi Point Coastal Walk is divided into six segments, each with its unique experience :
- Sunset Walk, has beautiful view of the sunset, hence its name
- Kelong Walk, reminisce the good old kelong days as you tramp on wooden stilts
- Cliff Walk takes you through the rugged western coastline
- Sailing Point Walk, enjoy views of the sailboats and the expanse of the sea
- Beach Walk, a relaxing coastal walk along sandy beaches, along the way pause, soak in the sea breeze and enjoy the views out to sea
- Creek Walk, appreciate the views, sights and sounds of the bumboat activities ferrying the public to and from the offshore islands.
At the end of the walk there is –
1) Changi Village hawker centre where there are various food stalls, including the International Muslim Food Stall at #01-57 for its famous Nasi Lemak and perpectually long queue.
2) An International Buffet dinner with BBQ items, at the Saltwater Cafe in Changi Village Hotel.
Per head $37.70 after 20% discount (DBS credit card).
If you wish to join in the buffet dinner, please indicate so that we can make reservations.
Register HERE!
See you at the walk!

My strike rate has taken a dip in form and my R.O.I is in the red.However I still would like to prove that horse investments can make money if one has the right skills ,experience and diligent homework(research).
After a 2 week break I ‘m back with a selection for today . Tim will like this one and he will likely not be a 1st favourite.Even if one wants to play an outsider he should play one of the top 5 favourites as they come in 80% of the time.The problem with rank outsiders is not because of the 20% chances only but which one among this lot? I have tipped 3 value bets of $35 to $40 in my 7naps tipping column previously since the start of this season.
My selection (medium bet confidence) for today is Race 8 nbr 3 Ace Armada.His main rival is nbr 8 with nbr 5 the likely favourite in close contention .The others in the frame are 1-4-2.
I recommend an investment of 50 wins and 50 places on Ace Armada.
