I met up with a few SHCians last night; and a question popped up as to when this year’s annual dinner and dance will be held, and where?  So far, no indications yet, as we have not had a DO.  Well, please hold on, and once someone puts his/her hand up, we can have this event.  Maybe, soon.

So, if you are eager to organise one, have a go.  We dont expect the perfect D&D; as some disorganisation is good for our soul.  Anyone?

Wandering through the public gardens at Lokhandwala Park in Mumbai, India, early in the morning, you might cross paths with a mirthful group of folks contorting their faces and laughing in unison. After 15 or 20 minutes of deep breathing and ho-ho-ha-has, followed by simulated laughter including hearty guffaws, quiet tee-hees, roaring lion laughter, silent laughter, and tittering cocktail laughter, the group disperses, beginning the day with a smile.
The more than 900 laugh clubs in India are the inspiration of Dr. Madan Kataria, who observed while working as a family physician that patients’ immune systems and general well-being improved following bouts of laughter. Kataria eventually left his medical practice and fine-tuned to a near-science his daily regimen of "thought-free" laughter, creating yoga laughter classes that have spread from India to the Far East, Europe, and North America.
Kataria’s methods have found a strong supporter in the United States. "I felt a great calling, a synchronicity with the information, and felt I needed to deliver this message," says Steve Wilson, a psychologist of 40 years who met Kataria and is now one of America’s leading "joyologists." Wilson has certified more than 100 laugh leaders–among them high school students and inmates at King County’s North Rehabilitation Facility. "I was astonished how much research had been already done that substantiated what I thought to be true," he says.
Within the burgeoning field of gelotology (from the Greek gelos, or "laughter"), the scientific study of laughter, an expanding body of research is being compiled. Over 500 academicians belong to the International Society for Humor Studies, and doctors, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals increasingly prescribe laughter therapy to help people cope with physical, mental, and spiritual issues.

20 Minutes of Dr Madan Kataria Laughter exercise is akin to 2 hours of brisk walking. If you are interested register here for free on Tuesday, 25 May 2010, 8 to 9 pm Geylang Serai Community Club. lst floor, Dance Studio. Laugther exercise is last Tuesday of the month.

Take a train to Paya Lebar MRT Station, walk 10 mins towards Lion City (behind is Haig Road), walk straight, you will see butterworth, then Ipon Lane and lastly Thiam Siew Avenue on the right of Haig Road, Geyland Serari Community Club is just on the left side of Thiam Siew Avenue.

I will be here. Come and join us and have a fun night laughter and sweating your way.

Cheers

Hi all, I am David, Singaporean,aged 53, Chinese and married. I work as a full-time tutor,teaching mainly Maths to upper Primary and Sec 1 pupils. I enjoy my work and rest days are Sundays and some public holidays. When free, I read, watch movies, meet with family members and close friends, go window-shopping with my wife and have a good meal together. By the way, I’m a vegetarian..:) I used to play golf,but gave up two years ago, since I can’t play like Tiger Woods..:)

I am most willing to share my expertise and experience with SHC members in areas like education, investment and Forex trading. I was in the banking and finance industry for 17 years prior to giving private tuition. I am eager to meet new friends and have a meaningful and fun exchange. I love to travel as well, often making short trips to M’sia.

Hi SHCians,

Cheers!

Hi Everyone, I come to know SHC through the ST, I have been following SHC’s activities, at first out of curiosity and then admiration for what Terence, his fellow founders & all the volunteer EOs of this very good club has done & is continuing to do.

We all know that Singaporean’s ability to always find solutions to their challenges are lengendary!!. Now I’m a proud member of SHC and proud to be associated with such exceptional Singaporeans in the club. Exceptional Singaporeans who collectively, would take the bull by the horns, and face future challenges bravely & with resolve. Resolved that by their collective efforts, their future can definitely be happily brighter ones!!. SALUTE !!

Coming back closer to the surface of our earth, I like to smell the grass, like in our recent EXTreme Ramble!! ( EO Jeff & Joyce ) something I would not ever have done on my own!! Nooks & corners of this lovely island I never thought existed. Or what about that ‘Yum Seng’ all night long, interspeared with flexing dancing muscles at the Kovan( EO AhNee ). Having known Sue Chan since our French classes @ Alliance Francaise several years ago, I joined her small group ‘hanging-out in Phnom Penh for 4 days together with Co-EO, Jeff Lim. All these activities are experienced with the overflowing warmth & camaraderie of fellow SHCians. Thank you very very much!!

I agree with Terence, our inspirational Founder, that the immediate challenge for us is the Male_Female ratio. As a result of this ratio, there’s less dynamism than we would have expected in our events & activities. I believe a brain-storming session on this issue would be beneficial for the convergence on the disparity.

As I have moved to the other side of my own century, I feel great that there’s such a great club like SHC. I look forward to joining more events, and meeting many other fellow SHC’ians. I have even adopted Jonathan’s post as my personal motto : ” May the rest of your life be THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE”.

Silver Lining is a bi-monthly magazine that caters largely to readers aged above 45. One of the regular articles
it features are on people with unusual hobbies or collections. The current issue (Apriil – May 2010) features a quirky old SHC geezer who does origami with one hand, and his collection of more than 500 origami books from all corners of the world.

The magazine is looking for more folks with other unusual hobbies or collections to be featured in forthcoming issues. If you have an unusual hobby or collections or know of someone who has, they would love to hear from you.

I have agreed to be Silver Lining’s unpaid contact person for this purpose. To address possible concerns, this message was posted after obtaining prior clearence from Terence.

Best regards,

Ron Koh
