“There are three kinds of seniors … those who know IT and enjoy every minute of it. Those who understand what IT are about but do not know the good and bad about IT and the Internet. I call this group as “driving blindly through the Internet” and many have got their fingers burnt. This is the second kind. The third kind of seniors is those who heard about the usefulness of IT and the smart devices (smartphones, tablets), never use the Internet and do not know how or where to start.”

I propose now with my limited resource and budget, to start, in a small way, and make a difference to the third kind of seniors. For those first and second kinds of seniors, if you have any friend interested and willing to take the challenge, do let them know.

The details …

Course: Basic Computer and the Internet
For who: The third kind of seniors or those who just bought a laptop or iPad/tablet and/or a smartphone with data plan or just know how to do simple email.
Eligibility: Must own a laptop or iPad / tablet or a smartphone with data plan.
Duration: Weekly (every Thursday) for 12 weeks.
Time: 3PM to 5PM
Place of Learning: HDB void deck (in vicinity of Telok Blangah).
Period of Lessons: To be discussed with those confirmed (it must be a continuous 12 weeks)
Course contents: Basically to show you how to make use of the device you own to browse/surf the Internet, take part in online forum and emailing your love ones and friends.
First intake: 3 students only (as the HDB void deck table has only four chairs).
Course fee: $60 (payable at first lesson – no refund for missing lessons or quitting course).
Graduation: A free lunch will be given to those who completed the course or with 9 or more attendance.

If you need advice to buy a new digital device and/or which data plan is suitable for you, just let me know.

Those interested to find out more please come to or drop by our monthly small group gathering.

We had a number of Business Round Table meetings, organised by Jeffrey Lim and assisted by Susan Chan.  These gatherings were usually round table dinners, and provided the opportunity for participants to network, understand each others business and sharing potential opportunities.

The objective is to provide members with opportunities to discuss business interests. However, while the dinners provided the settings for getting to know one another, a number of members felt the dinner overshadowed the intended objective.  We thank Jeff and Susan for the work and efforts.  We shall still move on, and see if we can have another format.  Let’s strive to see this event work.

Again, without putting restrictions in place, please share your thoughts on “How SHC can have a regular business meeting?” to cater to members business interests.  Please also register your name here.  I will likely have someone to coordinate this event on a regular basis.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.  Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.  ~Ernest Hemingway

Are you looking for a cycling holiday with a distinct difference?

Green on Bikes!!! Nothing is quite like touring on bike for an ecological, cultural, culinary and experiential experience!!!!

Indeed, Sarawak – From pristine underwater marine life and untouched coral reefs to rich heritage and from wilderness to modern city landscape, Sarawak is a potpourri of experiences appreciated by travelers from all over the world. Head into Sarawak’s interiors and your heartbeat will flutter at the fascinating and enchanting dances of the multi-ethnic tribes living harmoniously with each other.

We energize with a team with the best of local knowledge and an insatiable passion for cycling to envision and provide adventurous experience.  With moderate, achievable riding on charming small roads through village communities and lots of local interaction, you will have a chance to learn about the country and the people who live here. Food is a highlight.

Fortunately, cycling offers a low-impact form of physical activity that appeal to a wide range of the population. As long as you’re reasonably fit and familiar with your own limits, you’re a good candidate for a cycling adventure.

Therefore, we are planning a series of cycling adventures in 2014 and the inaugural program is in early November 2013.

Tentative Program:

Day 1: Upon arrival transfer to guesthouse, preparation for the ride.

Day 2: Ride to Fairy Cave, explore the cave and have ethic lunch. Thereafter, ride to Lan-E-Tuyang Home Stay – check in freshen up and go to the gardens to pick durians (subject to season). Enjoy the intercultural experience in music and dance and local food.

Day 3: After breakfast, ride to CMPC, climb to the chapel and after that continue riding back to the city. Check in Riverside Majestic Hotel. Free and easy and have sea food dinner.

Day 4: Breakfast in the hotel, free and easy for shopping et cetera. Check out and transfer to Kuching International Airport for flight to Singapore.

Please indicate your interest here (No obligation) as we shall update the rates and other information. Please advise if you are bringing your own bike (Rental bike in Kuching is RM80 per day)

Dear SilverHairsClub members,

Since 2005, SilverHairsClub has been running almost without much changes since day 1.  However, I have since become very busy with my work schedule and travel.  As you know, I have been looking for someone to take over the running of SHC.  This has not been forthcoming, and in mid Aug 2013, I have decided to pass the operations and most of the management of SHC to a committee.  The Club invited members to come join the committee, and a few members responded.  As of Aug 2013, the committee was formed.  This decision was taken after a brainstorm meeting on how to set up the SHC committee.  The thinking and planning are all documented and reported in the Club’s forum.

The committee will manage the Club, instead of under a single person, myself.  A committee might be slower in response, but I believe it will be more efficient.  I hope to see more imagination and great creativity in the way, SHC runs.  Our aim is to have between 7 to 9 members in the Committee, under an elected Chairman.  This position of Chairman will be selected by the committee members.  A new Chairman will be decided on 01 Feb 2014.  Currently, we have only 5 committee members, namely Lily Ho, Caroline Gee, Geraldine Ting and Dolly Lim and myself.  While the committee will run the Club, each committee member has a specific role.  The current committee has a tenure of 2 years from mid Aug 2013.

I like to elaborate on the roles.

1.  Geraldine Ting – this role aims to promote and increase website readership and participation of SilverHairsClub.com.  We have a readership counter, at the bottom of the website.  The Club leaves it to her imagination and creativity as to how to increase readership and participation.

Geraldine Ting also takes over the role of media contact.  She will be the sole contact with the media, and this role aims to promote SilverHairsClub to the public and external organisations.

2.  Dolly Lim – this role is to increase our “One member, and one EO activity” target.  I like to make it clear that this role does not require the committee member to organise activities, although she may organise EO activities, as an individual member.  Again, the success of this role is depended on creativity and imagination.  It also depends on the support of all members.  If you have not organised an EO activity before, please speak with Dolly.  The monthly gathering is a strictly EO event.  EO events are strictly for members only. Something might just pop up.

3.  Caroline Gee – this role is to increase and promote EC activities.  Many members have their own hobbies and interests.  If you organise an activity to share with other members and your friends, this is an EC activity.  EC activities are generally left to the imagination and creativity of each individual member.  If you wish, to share with other Singapore Silverhairs, your interests, organise an EC event or speak with Caroline Gee.  EC events allows you to interconnect your non-member friends with your newly found SHC member.  The aim here is to identify and encourage members to share their private interests, eg potlucks, crafts, tea sessions, etc.

Caroline is also the SHC committee secretary.  The Club committee meets once a month.

4.  Lily Ho – this role requires the person to moderate, approve and resolve issues within the content of the SHC forum.  Lily can delete and moderate or change any text in the forum, with special emphasis on the club taboos and other current guidelines.  Lily jagas all spams and illegal entries in the Club.

5.  Terence Seah – the current Chairman.  As agreed at the brainstorm committee meeting, this role will be appointed by the committee members, the next being 1 Feb 2014.  I shall give as much of the decision making processes to the 4 members of the committee.  I shall still continue to manage the PaperClips project, the Men’s night and the Business round table which have yet to kick up.

6.  The 3 other roles to engage non-active members, finance projects and corporate membership are still waiting for someone to hands up. More details later.

So, please welcome the new committee members, support them and speak with them.  They have different ideas on how to manage the club, besides each of them having their own style of speaking and thinking.  Let’s give the committee a chance to work, for the next two years.

If you did not receive this update in your email, chances are your membership has lapsed or your email address no longer valid.  Check your Club profile and change your email address.
