Catherine Lim – Intro

Dear friends,

Alex and I joined SilverHairsClub in May 09. I stumbled upon this blog a few occasions but decided to join this Club in order to join the cycling trip to Pengerang on 16 May 2009.  We enjoyed that trip very much as it was fun and hilarious at times.  That was the first cycling trip for Alex to Pengerang and the second time for me.

Here goes our intro – Alex and I are in our early 50s.  He is working full-time in MNC whilst I am working in the ‘Ministry of Home Affairs’ with "no salary"…..Well, I meant I am a ??? ,ha ha ha.

We are introverts and enjoy dancing, swimming, cycling, exercising (not too often, hehehe) and traveling (if budget permits).  We really wanted to join many of the interesting organized activities but have to give it a miss as it crashes with our other commitments.

We look forward to joining the future activities and get to know more friends.

Regards

Catherine and Alex Chan

Jenny Kwa – Introduction

BTW here’s a little introduction about myself –

I was introduced to your site by a church
friend.  I am a 56 years old and am single.  I am now freelancing
a little – tuitioning and contract with an educational vendor as and when job
is available.  May take a part-time job in the areas that I
am trained – kindergarten and/or speech and hearing.  I
love handicrafting (making things that are useful), reading (my areas of
interest but not novels) and briskwalking.  I hope I will meet you all one
day.  So sori, tho’ I have registered with your club for about a year (?)
I have not turned up for any of your activites yet.  I will
try.  Thank you. – jk  

Grace Oh – Intro

Here’s my introduction:

My name is Grace Oh. I’m married with 4 wonderful children; 2 older ones
are working and 2 younger ones are in school. I gain a son-in-law last
year. 

I’m currently still working. I like to keep myself active and healthy by
going to the gym and playing tennis with my colleagues during the
weekdays.  Weekends are spent almost on household chores and cooking for
the family – bonding over dinner.  

When I retire, I look forward to  participating  in the many
interesting activities organized by SilverHairs Club and getting to know the
members. J  

Cheers,


Grace

Monthly Walk Sat 10 Sep 11 Alexandra Linear Park Connector

Date: 10 September 2011 (Saturday)

Meeting Place: Queeenstown MRT Station, nearby control station by 4.30pm.

Duration:  around 2 hours

EOs for this walk:  Veronica Wong and Mary Tan

Starting from Queenstown MRT Station, we will walk towards Alexandra Canal Linear Park (1.4km), easy walk passing by Strathmore Estate, Dawson Estate all the way towards Tanglin Road.   As we walk along the park, do stop by the story boards which give visitors the history of these estates.    Trees, flowering plants and scrubs have been planted to create a garden-like atmosphere.  Bring along your camera to take pictures along the way  of the pretty colourful flowers .   Look out for the Rukam Tree planted by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, then Minister Mentor, during the official launch of Alexandra Canal Linear Park on 1 November 2007.   The Rukam fruits can be eaten raw or sweetened with sugar to make jam.   New high-rise flats under the HDB SERS Scheme (Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme) to resettle particularly the residents who lived there before their old flats were demolished to make way for the SERS flats are now in place at Strathmore Avenue.  Dotted along the park are playgrounds, mini -skate parks, fitness areas and multi-purpose courts , catering to all ages and are located near the housing estates and schools.       

From across the junction of Margaret Drive and Tanglin Rd where Masjid Jamek Queenstown mosque stands, we will arrive at Alexandra Park Connector (1.7km).  This is where we find the floating wetland, one of the many Active, Beautiful and Clean (ABC) Waters projects that PUB has implemented as part of its island-wide makeover of our reservoirs and waterways.   New facilities like parks, ponds and pavilions have been constructed alongside the huge Alexandra Canal.    Viewing galleries have been included on one side of the canal .  We continue walking this urban Park Connector at the beginning and towards the end, passing by on both sides of the canal scenery of high-rise buildings of various private condos with fantastic architectural details.  Shelters are found along the park connector for visitors to rest their tired feet or take a short break to enjoy the view.   Towards the end of the Park Connector is Zion Riverside Food Centre where we end the walk.  For those who wish to have dinner, there are the popular the No 18 char kway teow,  Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway, sweet Asian dessert at Mohammed Sultan Road Cheng Tng at stall 32 and many more.   Those who wish to shop, across the road there’s the Great World Shopping Centre and also the Kim Seng Promenade.

Bring drinking water, an umbrella (for rain or sun), mosquito repellent, camera, cap and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Hari Raya ketupat,lontong and lampu kelap kelip.

Helo everybody,apa kabar? :)

I have not been in the forum for quite a while now..hhmmm..but now I squeeze sometime to cakap2..hehe

I would like to wish all Muslim members and friends "Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri".
Im sure the ladies must be really busy-dizzy..like me la..now still sewing my curtains!..kekeke..the guys buat apa?

For my non-Muslim kawan2,you might wonder why we fast during ‘Ramadhan’..one month before the big day.You know…tak boleh makan & minum (cant eat & drink) from dawn to dusk!
It is to practice self-restraint and discipline.While fasting,we must also abstain from vain talk,using foul language etc..
Last but not least,fasting month is also about self reflection, spirit of giving and helping the less fortunate.

Ok la, that is all for now..i have to continue with my poor curtains :)

August 26, Monthly Gathering – F & E

Hi Members,

Actually, I was thinking of ‘eating snake’ of not wanting to organise this monthly gathering 1 lor.. but I kena summon, so there shall b a monthly gathering in August after all… kekeke.. However, I would prefer this gathering is to be conducted in Free and Easy mode lor.. ie.. 

Since we are having d One Night in Chinatown – Mandarin event on Sept 10, 2011,  for our August monthly gathering, pls feel free to speak any dialects, be it Cantonese, Hokkien, Hainanese, Hakka, Khek, Teochew, Malay, Tamil, etc etc… Shiok rite… :) 

Dialect not only adds to a rich and colorful Chinese cultural heritage, it links one to his/her roots.   SHC members have traveled widely, and become global citizens, yet it still feels great to come home to speak dialect freely, agree? 

So, let’s get together and find out who your ‘ka ki nang’ is (???) – an excellent opportunity to link up your roots!

Date : Friday, August 26, 2011.

Time : 4.00 pm – 8.00 pm

Venue : Bra Cafe (or commonly known as MPH Cafe) @ Robinson Road

Cost : To be capped at $5 for 1 drink (coffee/tea/canned drink) with 1 pastry.  However, you can top up the difference should you prefer to change your drink or pastry for others.  NO OUTSIDE FOOD AND DRINK IS ALLOWED FOR THIS MEETING,  KIND UNDERSTANDING MUCH APPRECIATED.

Since this is to be F&E meeting, I would prefer not to set any agenda and we will talk talk and mingle freely to know more friends here.  I also hope that more new members will participate for this gathering also.  However, please feel free to throw ideas/comments/suggestions for any SHC event.   This monthly gathering is for SHC members only.  Please register your participation here as we will closed for registration once we reached 40paxs… NO GATECRASHER PLS!!!! AS THE CAFE CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE THE SAID NUMBER OF PAXS LOR…

    EO to contact:   Lorraine Chia  at  chia_lorraine@hotmail.com 

    Seremban town is an old quite sleepy town probably a decade or two older
    than KLumpur.   It was created by the dozens of Chinese who followed
    several of the Minangkabau chiefs from North Sumatera, whom later unite
    their individual provinces into Negri Sembilan and electing one of the chiefs
    to be Yam Tuan Besar, the fifth of whom was destined to become Yang
    Di-Pertuan Agong of Malaya at Independence in 1957.

    The name Seremban was originally SERENDAM or literally "to soak" as baptism
    of water is a cultural ritual of the Minangkabaus on any auspicious
    occasion..   A laid back place is sutiable for Singaporeans to
    de-stress on short periods.

    Direct Selling is one of SHC’s taboos

    Direct selling is one of SilverHairsClub’s taboos.

    Organising a talk or seminar with the intention to promote or sell a product
    or a service to members is considered Direct selling. This taboo was
    implemented in Oct 2005, when SHC was started, as a platform for
    SilverHairs to meet and make more friends. The idea then was to prevent a
    situation whereby members use the Club’s platform to promote and sell
    products and services.

    While some audience do benefit from the talks, other audience may feel
    they have been falsely led into buying a product or service by attending these
    talks. As such, the club had made direct selling a taboo.   The same
    applies to MLM.  This taboo may sound silly and narrow-minded to some
    members.   But sitting in an audience towards the end of the talk when
    you know that a product is going to be pushed to you can be discomforting.

    Members who fail to observe this taboo may be removed from the club’s
    membership or may not be allowed to use the club’s forum.  If in doubt,
    please contact admin@silverhairsclub.com.

    Great Lovers

    I was about to unsubscribe my Straits Times newspaper for lack of news. But
    todays front page news in the Home section is about this 60 over years old
    accountant suing his former girlfriend for $400,000 he spend on her and she in
    turn counter sue him for half share of a $1.24M flat. Now that is news. I am
    grateful to ST for this brilliant piece of reporting and will continue to
    subscribe.

    It concerns me because this guy is about my age and in the same profession.
    It could be me!!!

    Also I am sure there are lovers among us happily exchanging gifts while
    whispering sweet nothing this evening ……it is time to contemplate. Or am I
    the crude unromantic guy?

    The facts of the case sounds quite straight forward, so I am sure you all
    have your own opinions about who is wrong and what is the best way to settle
    this case.

    Lets hear you, especially the ladies, we men need to learn.

    Cheong Kum Foong – Intro

    Hi everybody,

    Thank you for making this club vibrant. My name is Cheong Kum Foong,
    female, age 59 this year.

    Presently, I am working in KK hosp laboratory as a medical technologist. I
    am thinking about whether I should retired from work comes next year when I
    touch 60. I am married with 4 daughters, three working adults and the youngest
    is in JC2 this year.

    I like to play around in the kitchen whipping out some food for the family
    once is awhile, do a little traveling before my body stop me from doing that.

    Working full time do not allow me to have time to pursue in more activities.
    Even though I dont join in most of the activities, I still feel good to know
    what is going on in the club.

    Keep up the good work! Best

    Regards, KumFoong

    Silas Yeo – Introduction

    Hello,

    I am a Karaoke Singer (Hockien, Mandarin, Malay, Japanese, English
    songs).

    Do card tricks and invent my own Thought through and discuss talk topics on
    life issues: marriage problems, relationship issues, sex (wrongly understood as
    merely biological function), power, finance, identity problem , empty nest
    syndrome, why people always say they want to retire but cannot retire (because
    retirement wrongly understood and taught) fear of death, why humans are BELIEF
    creatures, Number misunderstood via education but used in technology, finance,
    politics. Interest in Science and Maths.

    Unless you are still hanging with a job or business, olds here have no
    market value.

    Best Regards

    May Peh – Intro

    Hi Silverhairs,

    I am May Peh Bee Huah, aged 50+, married with 2 grown up children, recently
    retired.

    I aim to keep healthy and meaningful lifestyle. I like to learn new things
    like surfing computer, investment, attending health talks, walks, travel.
    Watching Korean movie is one of my hobby.

    Hope to see you all soon.

    May Peh

    Fiona Lee – Introduction

    Hi SilverHairs,

    I would like to share a little about myself.

    I am 57 years old, currently working in an engineering company as a Senior
    Designer. I like to read novels, travel, walk or trek to explore places of
    interests (I have climbed a few mountains), photography, eat and taste all
    kinds of cuisines, cook and do artwork.

    When I do retire, I would love to travel more, get involved with missionary
    work, volunteer work, take up knitting again and even take up calligraphy.

    As I am still working, I don’t have any spare time to organise any activity
    as I am currently quite involved in church activities.

    Warmest regards, fiona

    Looking for like minded people to live in such retirement community to realise my dream

    Hi, this is Lorna.

    I look forward to join the activities with the silverhair, the blackhair
    & the colouredhair.

    I am curious how people decorate their house. It never fail to reflect the
    personality of the owner. So, I make a living looking at houses – helping
    people buy their home, unlock their asset by selling their house etc.

    It is good to be healthy. So an active lifestyle is the way to go. Swim,
    cycle, excercise in gym, walk in the park, travel, make friends, eat good food,
    draw and paint, reading – are things I love to do.

    Will be good to retire far from the madding crowd in Singapore. This place
    is getting too crowded and expensive. A quiet place fronting the sea with
    natural beach, living close to nature, good friends to engage in meaningful
    activities; go back to basic, plant my own food etc is my ideal way to retire.

    Looking for like minded people to live in such retirement community to
    realise my dream.

    Wendy Lum – Intro

    My friend, Grace, introduced me to
    this club and I registered as a member a few months ago. I’ve yet to
    participate in any of the club’s activities and hope to do so sometime soon.
    Also, I’d log into the website more frequently when I have the
    username & pw.
     
    I’ve been in this planet for more than half a century already but still
    working and my work requires me to travel at times. However, as I ‘d
    not have another half a century more to go, I’d like to seek out
    like-minded friends to share some common hobbies/activities together. I love to
    sing, dance, swim, travel, cook (and of course, eat) and cycle. I only learn how
    to ride a bicycle this year (haha) and hope to keep at it till I can’t anymore.
    Hope to meet you fellow members someday.
     
    Happy National Day

    Margaret and rest of us (Rebecca, Helen and me) would like to convey
    our many thanks here for all concerned members who had called us at the very first

    10, 2011 around 10.15am. 

    Fire was started at the 7th storey, thus, at Bra Cafe, they have more than ample time to evacate safely. 
    I was on my way to Bra Cafe as I was working the lunch shift hence, no
    damage at my side la…

    I wish to apologise to those had called me but I had ended their
    abruptly as I was still receiving other members’ call while at the same time
    answering.  Sorry, Daisy and the rest…  

    Many thanks from Margaret, Dolly, Rebecca & Helen.

    Nelly Soh – Intro

    Hi Fellow Silverhairs,

    My humble introduction to you. Am a Silverhairian for
    quite some time, but very poor in computer connect, that’s why keeping a low
    profile.

    I’m a professional tennis coach, and a committee member
    in several clubs namely golf country club, marina club and town social n
    recreation club. My  hobbies are Golf,
    Tennis, Fishing and Mahjong.

    I often organize Tennis Tournaments to raise funds for
    the needy in Myanamer, ’cause I also do Mission work for the Canossian CONVENT
    ( Daughters of Charity ). I organized twice with the help of our kind
    Silverhairans, headed by Dolly , in visiting the old age home ( St. Joseph’s
    Home.  ).

    Health Talk on Cell Defense: Top 10 Anti-Aging Foods, 18 Aug 2011

    Staying young is easy… when you understand the science behind the aging process.

    You’ve probably been hearing about the role of antioxidants to fight  against free radicals – the main enemy of our cells and thus, our body.

    The good news is: Our bodies has the ability to produce a Master Antioxidant – glutathione. There are more than 96,000 studies on glutathione worldwide, yet you have probably never heard of it.  The reason is, up until now, there was no easy way to get additional glutathione into your body. If you tried to take it like a supplement, t gets destroyed in your stomach and G.I. tract before it reaches your cells.  I shall share with you simple ways you can eat, enjoy, and stay young!

    Participants will learn:

    – The Anti-aging Miracle of Glutathione – Your Body’s Master Antioxidant.
    – 3 Easy Ways to Stay Young
    – The Top 10 Age-Erasing Foods that are delicious and great for you!
    – How to power up your organs so they stay young and you stay healthy!
    – Discover why your body needs to reset your biological clock
    – Learn how to build a younger body

    Date:     Thu, 18 Aug 2011
    Time:     7.00 to 9.00pm
    Venue:   10 Anson Road, International Plaza #33-07 Singapore 079903

    Jessica See – Introduction

    I am a Certified Professional Trainer and Coach, IPMA UK as well as a
    clinical nutritionist. I just turned 50 this year and very excited about
    entering into my third stage of life.

    My desire for this next phase in my life is to impact more Silver Haired
    people like me so we can make full use of our years ahead, enjoy ourselves to
    the max and if we haven’t done so, start pursuing our passions and fulfilling
    our purpose.

    I was a writer and editor by profession, used to run a women’s mafazine
    until I retired in 1997. Today I run 2 companies called Image Coach
    International and Health Coach International – where we provide training and
    coaching to corporate clients.

    My latest hobby is building websites, so I can monetise my passion – which
    is writing and sharing! As a nutritionist, I also do talks and workshops
    teaching people how to eat healthily, enjoy what they eat.

    These are some of the topics I can volunteer to speak on:

    1. Cell Defense – Top 10 Anti-Aging Foods

    2. Turning Passion to Profit
