Soon, it will be Singapore’s National Day 2013

Where will you be during National Day?  This time, it looks like we have a long weekend, and many members will be away with friends and families.  Many Singaporeans will also be here, and trying to get a glimpse of the parade, either on TV or try to get a seat infront of the parade.  Others would try to find a place to see the fireworks.

I read in the papers you can get a room at the Trafalgar Hotel for SGD 800 a night.  Still others can find a place at some rooftops facing the marina bay.  I thought the Marina Bay food court with a good frontage, facing the bay, is also good, until somebody told me I have to queue from 3pm.  And, maybe cannot sit too long.

Do you have an office facing the bay? or some secret hideout, not known to many people. Share with us where you will be on National Day night.

Which National Day song do you like? and we will play for you and your friends.

What i like to see happening at the Club?

We may have voice this before but I feel it time to hear it again and better still if someone take the initiatives.

A matter close to my heart is to start a Mandarin speaking session for those wanting to improve their Mandarin conversation with one another.

The other idea is to start a Book Club for those avid readers who want to share their passion for reading and to encourage one another with setting goal to read more books.

As with any concern, just to put up a post can be life threatening. We worry for the responses, we worry how is the reaction and we just worry worry.

Give your encouragement here and if there is enough show of hands I will buck up and do something.

Starting 2nd half of 2013, we shall use a committee style for SilverHairsClub

As my travel schedule gets tighter from the 2nd half of 2013, and as no member has volunteered to run and take over SHC, I have decided that we shall have a committee to manage SilverHairsClub.  I assume that most of the current guidelines and practices will continue to be the same.  But, I shall leave them to the committee and the head of this committee.

The SilverHairsClub.com as a website is owned by SilverHairs Enterprise Pte Ltd.  SHC will have its freedom to organise and manage as it is now.

After the Cabaret night and the Membership drive, I shall call a meeting for members who would like to be in this committee.  Those who wish to offer suggestions and ideas can also come.  However, it is likely the committee will comprise of do’ers.

The date for the meeting is set for Mon 5 Aug Fri 2 Aug 2013  1830 to 2100 hrs. (2.5 hrs). Place will be advised.

For those who are interested to be in the committee or to head the committee, please keep this date in your diary.  Anyone who likes to lead the meeting can also let me know.

Bollywood Dance tryout

Is anyone interested to join me in the above on any one of these days: Monday-6.45pm, Tuesday-7pm, Wednesday-7pm, Saturday-3pm at Bollydancing, Waterloo Centre, 261 Waterloo Street? We will join the school’s existing class so there will be other students in the class. The school charges $10 per person for the tryout. Please indicate the day and time you are able to make it. Thanks and let’s bolly-boogie!

Finding groups with similar interests has been identified as a priority. Register with SHC Interest groups.

Many members have identified yourself among certain interest groups eg dancing groups, travel groups, mahjong groups, badminton groups, cycling groups, etc.  However, some of you are still finding the groups that match your interests, hobbies and needs.

Your present individual membership does not have the details.  It is also quite labour intensive to help these groups form.  SHC has created a database of hobbies and interests.  If you like you can join the different SHC interest groups.  There is no requirement for you to join if you just wish to keep in touch with the club.

Below our web banner pictures, there is a button “SHC Interest groups”.  Click on it and let us know your interests.

Only members who participate in the SHC Interest groups will be identified with others of similar interests.

Existing members may register first.  New members who join us after the coming Membership drive can join in Aug 2013.

** Latest:  We shall no longer track and group members by interest groups due to lack of interest and participation.  May 2014.

Taipei Cabaret Night will be here this month, thanks to the members who will add to the night’s entertainment, Sat 20 Jul 2013

cabaret taipei

Cabaret Night 2013 committee met for the first time last Sat, 29 Jun 2013 at Orchard Central.  Leading most of the work to make this event a success and as entertaining as possible for ever guest is Mega Abdullah.  He pieced together Jeffrey Gan who will provide all the live music (almost more tha 4 hours of live music) during the opening event.  And he has also added the local DJ who would be playing all the dance music and memorable songs to keep us dreamy, nostalgic and romantic.  Thank you Mega, we would not be able to coordinate all these work without your planning and running around.  Well done, considering this is mainly a Hokkien/Mandarin Cabaret.

There is another group who has been working more than just hard.  And these are the singers.  If you know me, I cannot sing, neither can I dance.  I cannot hear the difference between tempo and a tune.  But, there is a very capable lady who has made this possible, and she has come forward to accept the role of recruiting the singers, putting them through practice sessions and sequencing the songs.  I dare not try to figure out what are all the pains, criticisms and arguments she has faced so far, with the group and committee.  She is Judy Lim.  She is fluent with Hokkien and Mandarin songs.  Besides, Judy, we also have Janet Chan who loves singing, and helps Judy out with the Cantonese and Mandarin segments.  HI Tian Soo and Lai Fong, our two co-owners of this refurbished Cabaret, these are the two ladies who have started work way more than two months ago.

Let’s also bring in our stage managers – Pat Oei and Lyndy Chua.patandLyndy

Now, let’s look at our line up of Singers.  Many of the singers will be flying in from Hong Kong, Shanghai,  Singapore and Tokyo to bring us an evening of good fun and sheer music delight.  Let’s bring them in.  Please give them our applause for coming on stage.

(To the participants, my apology if you find your stage picture errh, “it cannot be me” Terence Seah
