ALAMAK, WHY ME!

Everyone of us has a story to tell. Having gone through half a century of living and working and being in and out of love, we certainly have encounter an experience that left a lasting impression.
We often wonder how we survive a certain situation in life which left us thinking and thanking providence that we are safe.

There are incidents in my life that left me thinking hard, was it a stroke of fate or lack of attention on my part?

Readers are encourage here to share their life stories.

Here are an excerpt of my life I want to share with you. I know that whenever we reveal a part of our life,
we put ourselves in a vulnerable position for others to judge us. Do we succumbed to such critical remarks or we stand firm in the belief that nothing will affect us as long as our conscience are sincere.
Some are ready to capitalise on the slightest mistake make which turn them into a monstrous rumour monger. Other take delight knowing that we commit a grave offence.

I have come to a stage of my life where I am past caring. Each step on our journey of life brings
us nearer to meet our Maker. Not many of us may live long enough to write our biography. Here is
such an opportunity. I believe story can be shared to bring out the intricacies and beauty of life.
Can we know joy without going through pain or happiness without sorrows. Most of us are well brought
up in life having parent that ensure that we are loved and are given an education that set them for
life, what about those that are deprived?

My story:

‘When I was in Secondary School, I remembered an incident that till today I wonder why I did it. It
was the school sport day, I was a venture scout. We were supposed to put up a show where some of us
have to walk on an omega bridge which is  made of rope suspended about six foot from the
ground, another rope is suspended above our head. I have a part to play and that is to fall off the
bridge. As I fell off, the St. John Brigade rush forward to attend to me, the nurses were concern and enquire for my well being. A stretcher was make from two poles and a scout shirt act as the canvass. I was carried to the tent where I stood up and walk away without a scratch.

This act was enacted to show the preparedness of Boy Scout. How did I survive the fall, well, I was
able to break my fall because since young my dad took me for judo class, I think I have a blue belt
but my older sister the brown belt. Why did I shared this, it because if I fell wrongly, I may be paralyze for life!’

SHC platform is for us to meet new friend and to get better acquainted. Usually better rapport
are achieved in meeting or smaller group. Doing it here on the post is another ball game, can it
achieve some form of understanding and care among member?

Now you know a part of my life and what make me tickle, do I bite? Would you dare to share your most
unforgettable and memorable moments in your life here?

There are more incidents to share, my next installment:
How I try to ‘commit suicide’ when I did a bungee jump’

New Picture Manager Role wef 01 Jan 2012

We have Sock Cheng (Sockie) as our Picture manager for some time already.  She has done a good job during this time, and has ensured that all EO events pictures are properly uploaded and documented.

She has also been active taken pictures at most events, and a sure prominent person to either be in front of or away from. 

Well time for a change.  Wef 1 Jan 2012, we will have a new Picture Manager to take over this role. This person is none other than Lee King Seng, whom many of you would have known during bowling activities and group events.  King Seng has taken some time to consider, and I am glad he has finally accepted this role.

Thank you King Seng.  And thank you to Sock Cheng, whom I will likely ask to take another role.

Time to crack some heads.

Just an excuse to bring live to this post, I am about to pose some riddles on lateral thinking. The topic on the economic situation now and in the future may seem hard to bear but to some of us we prefer to act like the ostrich who attempts to ignore unpleasant facts and situations.

These ten riddles may require much stretching of the imagination, not to think logically but to think laterally.

1. The Man in the Elevator.

A man lives on the tenth floor of a bulding. Every day, he takes the elevator to the first floor to go to work. When he returns, he always takes the elevator to the seventh floor and then walks the remaining flights of stairs to his apartment on the tenth floor. Why does he do this?

2. The Two Americans

There were two Americans waiting at the entrance to the National Museum. One of them was the father of the other one’s son. How could this be so?

3. A Chess Piece

Two grandmasters played five games of chess. Each won the same mumber of games and lost the same number of games. There were no draws in any of the games, How could this be so?

4. The Coal, Carrot, and Scarf

Five pieces of coal, a carrot, and a scarf are lying on the lawn. Nobody put them on the lawn, but there is a perfectly logical reason for their being there. What is it?

5. The Silent Cabbie

A Comfort driver picked up a lady who was a notorious chatterbox. He did not want to engage in conversation, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He pointed to his mouth and ears to indicate that he could neither speak nor hear. After she alighted, he pointed to the meter so that she could see how much she owed. She paid him and walked off. Then she realized that he could not have been a deaf mute. How did she know?

6. Happy or Sad

Three women dressed in swimsuits were standing together. Two were sad and one was happy. But the sad women were both smiling and the happy one was crying. Why should that be so?

7. The Coffee Drinker

A man in a restaurant complained to the waiter that there was a fly in his cup of coffee. The waiter took the cup away and promised to bring a fresh cup of coffee. He returned a few moments later. The man tasted the coffee and complained that this was his original cup of coffee with the fly removed. He was correct, but how did he know?

8. The Dream

The boss of a storage warehouse had just arrived at work when one of his employees burst into his office. The man explained that while asleep the previous night he had dreamed that one of the stored boxes contained a bomb that would expode at two pm,. causing a terrible fire. the boss was skeptical, but agreed to investigate. After a search, a bomb was found in the area foreseen in the man’s dream. The police were called, the bomb defused, and a tragedy averted. Afterwards, the boss thanked the employee sincerely and then fired him.

The sacked  man had not planted the bomb, and his prophetic dream had saved the warehouse from destruction. Yet the manager was right to fire him. How could that be so?

9. Anthony and Cleopatra

Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor in an Egyptian villa. Nearby is a broken bowl. There are no marks on their bodies and they were not poisoned. Not a person was in the villa when they died. How did they die?

10. Five Men

Five men were proceeding together down a country path. It began to rain. Four of the men quickened their step and began to walk faster. The fifth man made no effort to move any faster. However, he remained dry and the other four got wet. They all arrived at their destination together. How could this be so?

N.B. They relied only on foot power.

11. Family Reunion

At a family reunion, it was found that the following relationships existed between the people present: Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, sister, Cousin, Nephew, Niece. However, there were only four people there. How could this be so?

12. Stuck Tight

A truck became wedged under a low bridge. It could not move forward or back without severely damaging its roof. The truck driver was perplexed until a little girl standing nearby suggested an easy solution. What was it?

13. Another Riddle

What is it that the man who makes it does not need; the man who buys it does not use himself, and person who uses it does so without knowing?

How many reasons are there to explain for what will happen to the Singapore economy this year end and next year?

That’s nice.  I just read Dow 30 got hammered.  And Euro stocks are again slammed left and right.  And, we now hear the Super committee is going to be a failure.  And, our Singapore economy is going to register growth of between 1 and 3% next year.  The Straits Times reported job lost is going to be likely next year.  May or may not be a repeat of 2007/8; but nonetheless, we are talking about it.

We talk alot about our activities and our social lives.  Let’s share some talk about the world around us or the Singapore we have here. What do you think? And how do you feel about the year end and next year.

An opportunity for SilverHairs to meet one another on Tues, 6 Dec 2011 at Hans, while the mood is fresh, lively and festive

Hi everybody,

It’s been a long time since we last met at Hans Cafe @ Upper Pickering Street.  Many of us have not met one another while for some, it’s like donkey years.  I like it when you meet new friends.  I also like it when you catch up with old ones.  

SilverHairs are very chatty.  Sometimes, they can even bring down the roof of Hans Cafe.  Well, we have many stories to catch up, new plans for next year.  Also, a good time to liaise plans for travel.  Got some old books to give away.  Or some relationships to patch up.  Some goodies to give away.  So, find out who is coming; then come.  If your friends are not coming, it might be too lonely of you to come alone.  But, if your friends are coming, come loudly.  No friends, say something here; and you will have a new friend in no time.

So, here’s the details of this event.

  • Date:  Tue 6 Dec 2011.
  • Time:  4pm to 8.30pm  (Even if you are late after work, also can register to come).
  • Charge:  Free.  If you need a drink or some dinner, you can get it at the Hans Counter.  I think they charge. Dont bring food or drinks, or Hans will skin us alive.)
  • Dress:  Any office wear; or anything.
  • Only registered SilverHairsClub members are allowed to participate in this event.

If you are new or has never come to a SilveHairsClub activity, please introduce yourself here.  Dont be shy. But if you are not shy, tell us also about yourself, the louder the better.  I like to suggest you wear RED, then we know you are new.  SilveHairsClub has one of the most varied name tags.  Please make your own name tag.  Anything you like can be on it; except no advertising of companies.  Just first and last name.

But, if you are not new, and has come to our activities a few times, please wear GREEN or BLUE tops.  Bring your name tag, or make one yourself.  Make sure your name is big, clear and friendly.  Or we would just give you a sticky label to put on your dress or shirt.

What do you do when you come?  First, do not sit down.  Secondly, say "Hi, My name is Mitchelle Yip.  May I know your name?".  

Like with all events, you need to register to come.  Please be the first 80 members to register.  Non SHC members are not allowed please.

I look forward to seeing big wide smiling faces.

Going to Petaling Jaya by coach?

I need some advice.  Instead of flying to Subang or KLIA, I am thinking
of thinking of taking a coach to PJ this Thur morning.  Am hoping to save
some time and, some dollars and also the waiting time at airports.  I find
the time taken to get out of KLIA into PJ or KL too cumbersome and long.

Have you been to PJ on a comfortable coach?  Your recommendations would
be great.

SilverHairsClub members update, as of Nov 2011

We have recently done a clean-up of our membership database.  I have
been very pleased with the returns in the last two weeks, especially with
verifying membership details.  Many duplicated membership have been
removed.

The latest count is 5,250 live individual members.  Out of this total,
about 2,300 members read the club’s forum regularly.   So, we
can see there is a difference between those who read the club
forum, those who are inactive members and those who are regular
participants.

One of our weakness is our inability to chat and interact with those who are
members, but are inactive, for different reasons.  Very few active
members volunteer or raise their hands to befriend this silent group.  I
do not know why.

However, I am glad to see members like Jassmine Teo, Frisna Tan and YatSing
put in effort to voice out for this silent group.  Joy Chuang is also
looking after a group.  Some of us may think there is not much we can do,
for those who are busy, shy and afraid to join the more senior and active
ones.  But, if you can do a little, this will be go a long way to
welcome the quieter ones.

Our EOs for different activities have done a good job maintaining their
activities.

So, again, if you are a member, have been participating in SHC
activities, and have not been an EO, please consider doing your part to be a
Befriender.  You only need to take care of 10 – 20 members.   I
hope to see you raise your hand.

12 November 2011 Monthly Walk – Botanic Garden

November 2011 Monthly Walk – Botanic Garden
Serene Low / Chris Chan in SHC main bulletin, Walking

Date: 12 November 2011 (Saturday)
Meeting Place: Botanic Garden MRT, Control Station (Circle Line, CC19)
Start Time: 4.30pm
Duration: approx 2 hours
EOs for this walk: Serene Low and ChristinaCL Chan
 
From the entrance of the Botanic Garden at Bt Timah/Cluny; we will walk towards the Eco Lake skirting along the edge to Jocab Ballas Children’s Garden.   This is a specialized garden constructed for children to learn about plants through play.  It will stimulate even adults to the wonder of plants and nature!  Let’s spend 20 minutes in this area.

Passing the Eco Lake from another side, we head towards a paved slope upwards to the Healing Garden.  This 2.5 hectare garden, took 3 years to set up, and was launched recently in October by President Tony Tan.  It is the largest in Singapore, showcasing a collection of 500 species of SE Asian medicinal plants.  The Healing Garden is designed in the shape of a human body — thematically relating to parts or systems of the body, such as "Head, Neck, Ears, Nose and Throat" and "Digestive and Related Systems".   It will be enriching to browse around and don’t be surprised to find some plants that have medicinal values are actually common plants.

After that we will continue to stroll through this green sanctuary via a different route back to the entrance towards Adam Food Centre for our dinner.

The rainy season seems to be here early.  Do bring your umbrella or rain coat, your camera, drinking bottle, sun block, a hat and walking sneakers.

This is an educational “green walk” you would not want to miss!

November monthly update was written by Jassmine Teo

This month’s monthly update was written by Jassmine Teo, also our Online Fleamart Coordinator.  If you had received it, it means your email address is correct.  If you have not received it, it is likely you are not a registered member.

If you have been a member for more than one year, and would like to address fellow SilverHairsClub members, please write to me.

November’s editorial by Jassmine:

"Dear fellow SilverHairsClub members,

The Silverhairs Club just crossed its 6th year and is still going strong!  There is, however, a concern about the silent majority. Why are they not active in the club’s activities? A few had written to say work kept them away. A few others had written about feeling apprehensive and nervous arising from their perception of existing cliques in the club.  To address this concern, the club has introduced the role of Befrienders and also organized an event catering to apprehensive members.

The Botanic Gardens seems to be a very popular venue for SHC activities in November. Three scheduled activities are taking place at the Botanic Gardens, namely:

1)  November walk on Sat. 12th.        https://silverhairsclub.com/?p=3921
2)  Potluck picnic on Thur 17th.         https://silverhairsclub.com/?p=3915 and
3)  Photography outing on Sat 19th.  https://silverhairsclub.com/?p=3928.

On Sun. 27th, members can look forward to a drama performance cum Canto karaoke at SAFRA Tampines. https://silverhairsclub.com/index.php?s=canto.  However, the one day trip to Kulai town has been cancelled due to concern over possible flooding in JB.

May all members have an active time in November.
