Month: November 2013

For a long time, we have been rather rigid on what can be done and cannot be done.  Our Club taboos are no discussions on politics, race, religion, sex, direct selling and MLM.  It is unlikely that we will relax our rules on no discussions on politics, race and religion.  At least, no for now.

Sex is a topic that is human, and I wish to clarify that “No sex” means “no discussions on “procurement of sexual servces”.  We have also relaxed in the area of direct selling, and this is limited to the Online Fleamart which comes out monthly, and products and services are of the non-corporate nature, and hosted by Jassmine Teo.  I would say Jassmine has done a good job, as our intention is to allow members to offer what they have at home.

Feedback from members have helped to streamline our thoughts on members’ businesses.  Most members are either still working and are enjoying a retirement life in some form of trading activities, casual sales or P/T work.  I hope to relax this area to enable members to offer some of their corporate products and services.  This can be tricky as we would not want to have direct selling and product offerings during our gatherings and in our forum.  A number of members have responded to our recent email on providing some of their company products and services at special offers.  As usual, and in principle, the Club will relax this policy.  Along the lines of how we operate the online Fleamart, I would also be looking out for someone who would be willing to run this service in our forum on a regular and monthly basis.  If you like to, feel free to write to me.  Questions ok.

SHC will go more agressive in ourn efforts to enlist Corporate members from either among the current membership or new memberships.  Free corporate membership is no longer available.  Members or companies wishing to be Corporate members can write to admin@SilverHairsclub.com.

On the registration of new and maintenance of old membership, please be inform that all members must have an username and password to enter SilverHairsClub.com.  If you have not registered to enter the Club, please do so.  The register link is on the top right hand side of SilverHairsClub.com.  If you have lost your password or username, please re-register.  The Club will no longer manually reset your password.

With effect from Jan 2014, your email address will be used as username.  Your password has to be at least 7 characters.  This will enable you to log in into the Club.  Members are reminded not to register any person whose membership has lapsed.  All members are encouraged to register and participate in the Club, using their own username (email address) and password.

Introducing new members to the general membership has been found to be useful as new members may not know how to walk around the SHC website.  Robert Ong has volunteered to take this role, and if you are very shy, and not sure how to post your intro,  well, get to know him.  He is very knowledgeable and helpful.  But, make sure you have your username and password first.

The new SHC committee has been trying hard to do a good job, maintaining the social requirements of members.  This is not easy, and it does take time for the committee and myself to sync in thoughts and actions.  Neither do I expect no changes.  Please be patient, and if you have any queries, do consult them.

Have a good week ahead.

I’ve been a professional ukulele trainer since 2009. I conduct ukulele course in Churches, Golf Clubs, Community Clubs, Condos and at my Home-studio.I have taught more than 1000 students. I occasionally strum and have sing-along sessions at my home.

Making short trips to neighbouring countries whenever I have time is also  my interest.

Hi Fellow Retirees

I walk/hike on most Tuesday mornings from 10 am.

Since retiring in Oct 13, I had hiked Macritchie Reservior (15 KM) & Kent Ridge Park to Henderson Waves (abt 10 K). Before retirement, I had walked many many places in Singapore Parks but inconsistently.

I cycle (casual not sport) mostly alone on Sat mornings on PCN coverring abt 26 KM. I intend to cycle at Marina Barrage and Bay coming Sat evening.

If u stay at CCK, I jog on Wed or Thur evening along Brickland Rd (about 3.5 KM) if u want to join me lmk. However I must say that they are subject to weather condition by the last hour. So must not be disappointed by this.

Have a good week!

Hi Friends

We have filled up 2 tables following my post in October on the New Year’s Eve Countdown at Ritz Carlton.  We have received several enquiries asking if we could book additional tables.  Here’s the good news!  The organisers are able to accomodate us if we book by this week.  They could try to group us together with the first 2 tables which were booked in Oct 2013.

If you and your friends (SHC’ians and non-SHC’cians) wish to join us on New Year’s eve, please register as soon as possible.  We need a minimum of 10 persons to a table.  However, if we are not able to get a full table of 10 persons, we will not proceed with the booking.  Please check latest comments in this post.

Rate:  S$120 per person (includes door gift, dinner, dance and entertainment) FYI, the door gift is an innovative (branded) air purifier retailing at about S$150.

We have always faced difficulties getting new members to introduce themselves in the Club.  Either they are shy, or they find it difficult to write an introduction about themselves in our Club forum.  Finally, they either not do anything about it or nobody knows about them.

We have tried to get our senior members to to take up this role; but unfortunately for numerous reasons, few members like to take up this role.  Well, after a long time, we have identified one.

He is Robert Ong, whom many of you know has been active, especially with the Easterly gatherings.  He is a strong supporter of SHC, its members and the Club’s culture.  Robert has good relations, is tactful and is a very considerate person.  He has agreed to take up the role of managing “New members relations”.  In this role, Robert will assist new members with introducing themselves to fellow members in the Club.  He will be able to write a new Post to introduce new members in the Club.  After membership approval by Admin, new members can write directly to him with the introduction.  More details will be given.

Thank you Robert.  And we look forward to your new initiatives.

I was reading the ST today, and came across the phrase “the true kampong spirit”.  I thought that this tagline is interesting for SilverHairsClub members.  Very often, we engage in activities of the social nature, and we don’t target “self help and caring activities” for ourselves.  We have plenty on makan, dancing, karaoke, cycling, walking, chitchats and travel.

As a Club, we have not done much to harness ourselves for the benefit of SHCians as a whole.  Maybe the “true kampong spirit” can rekindle and strengthen ourselves as a big family.  I remembered Kenneth Tan suggested buying in bulk eg his monthly ovaltine supply, Jassmine Teo’s Teo selling of what’s in our store room, our offering of paid eldersitter services by some of our members, our discussion on retirement living, plus a few others.  But many of us have not responded to work together in this true kampong spirit.

Perhaps, we can help and think of new ideas.  We should support more activities and programs so that we can help ourselves as we age.  Afterall, many of us are reported as “Asset-poor and cash-rich”.

How and what can we group together and care for ourselves?  Please respect the views of others when making comments.  Not all of us are rich, and not all of us are poor.  Not all of us can travel, makan and enjoy ourselves frequently, many of us have still to work.

Dear SilverHairsClub members,

SHC is considering the use of the email address as the login name to SilverHairsClub.com. This helps to ensure that you will always use an updated email address.

Please also use at least a “7 character” password.

This is an important change, so please take note of your current userid, email address and password before implementation.  Likely implementation date: Before 31 Dec 2013

SilverHairsClub is for you, and the Club will continue to provide a platform for you to make more and new friends. Come and participate.

Again, another dream,  a get-away from Singapore, in Johore perhaps.

After the trip to Yangon, I am wondering again how we can get together to relax, breathe some fresh air, enjoy Malaysian culture, see its beautiful beaches, experience local food and most important of all, to get to know more SilverHairs friends.  I think  a 3 D 2 N somewhere, leaving on a Fri early morning and returning on a Sun night may be just it.

Taichi masters, chess players, those who can cook and share their cooking skills among fellow ladies and guys, slow walks and hikes, spend time by the beach, cycling among the villages, line dancing in the afternoon, social dancing in the night and learning mobile and computer applications can come together.  Come share your skills and knowledge, and more members will know you.

We can take the Transnational coach, all the way to the destination, talk and scream all the way to our destination and before we realize it, we are there.  We head north east. Rain or shine, we go.  We paint the town green. We would limit this trip to 40 pax or the max number the coach can take us.  Of course, it will be fun, and we can allow those who drive to come along too.

The dates are not fixed.  There is no program yet.  It could be held in Dec, Jan or Feb.

But I do know we need the following:

• 1.  Someone who knows how to take the coach from Lavender to Mersing via Transnational.
• 2.  Some one to coordinate the 3D 2N program.
• 3.  And, if you have skills and hobbies, and wish to share during the trip, please hands up.
• 4.  And anyone who wishes to help bring members together, we have some thing for you.  About time if you have been too quiet.

Thank you to the members who help me piece this concept together.

Even if you have not checked your diary, if you are interested in breathing fresh air and getting to know new and old members better, simply put your name here.  Once the dates are announced, you may withdraw within 7 days, if the dates are not suitable to you.

The trip will be from 21 – 23 February 2014.

This event is strictly for members only.

Myanmar Travel Group: Thank you very much for the sharing. I am glad that you all are having so much fun. I wish I can join you all, but still have a full-time job and can travel only during certain periods of the year.

This trip is the beginning of my love story with SHC travelling group.  We had so much fun, laughter, food, entertainment and dancing throughout the short trip.  I’m sure most of my fellow travellers will agree with me.

We have to thank the following people who had made this possible –

• Terence for initiating and leading the group;

• Susan for making the hotel arrangements and rooming list

• Peri for looking after the financial aspects

• Gentlemen for their tender loving care in looking after the ladies

• Frisna for providing free entertainment on board

• And any other SHC’cian who had in one way or another contributed to the success and smooth running of the tour.
• Last but not least, all the supportive ‘seow seow’ audience who were so receptive to all kinds of jokes, Q & A grilling by our infamous reporter from CNA, CNN to CBS, without whom, we would not have had so much enjoyment during the trip!

A comical star was born on 8 November 2013, Day 3 of the trip.  It was spontaneous and so hilarious that we all almost died laughing so hard and many can’t stop laughing even after the show ended.  So, fellow travellers, please share your experience with everyone here.

I’m looking forward to the next trip led by Terence, either to Taiwan, India or Sri Lanka.  Have passport and money will travel !

Hi All

Remember we once had a pot-luck cum cycling at the Changi Beach Park 2 years ago?
If you forget, here’s the SHC page link for your revisit :
https://silverhairsclub.com/?p=3836

We had a lot of fun and LOTS of food then. Want to have another round of such fun? This pot-luck will tie in with our last Monthly Cycling for this year 2013. We will resume cycling again after Chinese New Year 2014.

For those who can’t cycle, you can skate. If you can’t do both — then just come and join in the fun in eating, chit-chatting catching up with old and new friends….. or swim.!! :)

The park is serene and much less crowded than ECP.

?Parking is free after 5pm and the nearest parking is : Carpark 1 although Carpark 2 is also very near.
?There is a clean and airy public toilet (with shower cubicles) at the same location.

Buses that stop right outside the park along Nicoll Drive bus stop B10) :
?# 9 – from Bedok Interchange
?#19 – from Tampines Interchange
?#89 – from Hougang Central Interchange

Buses to Changi Village Terminal (a short walk to the park along waterfront) :
?# 2 – from New Bridge Road Terminal
?#29 – from Tampines Interchange

Life has a strange way of throwing challenges at us.

When we put in our effort, it does not mean we will be rewarded with a kind word, let alone appreciation.  When we ask questions, lo and behold, we are creating issues that should not happen in the first place.  Huh? Whaaa?  Hmmmm……..

How do we deal with such challenges?  For me, I speak up (even if it’s the last time; till death do us part.  Kekekeee), after which I move on and happily continue with my life.

So, darlings, when the going reeli, reeli gets tough, THE TOUGH GETS GOING!

Share with us, especially Agony Aunt G here, how do you deal with challenges that somehow makes you the bad guy?

      

I am in KL, and obviously beside eating, I had nothing else better to do. I usually go to the 7-Eleven and buy all the local newspapers I can lay my hands on.

The article this morning reported that an anthropologist has identified that the answer lies in brain chemistry. She tracked 28,000 people.  Some of us feel good and romantic; and have the sexual drive, and all this because of dopamine and testosterone

In our Club, I read only Tian Soo is familiar with this chemical.

Why do some of us like this person and not another person?  As you know, I like to make Paper Clips work, but trying to do so, does not seem to work.  The naturally attraction works, but the individuals must come together.

If a person has active dopamine, tend to seek experience, curious and easily board, they tend to be introspective and like their own type.

If a person has high testerone, they tend to be analytical, competitive, they too tend to be attracted to their types.

These factors sparked attraction. The success is to overlook everything you cannot stand in someone.  These works whether one is 30 or 60.

What do you think?  Aiyah, just some serious fun.

Terence Seah

As the heading declares – the flea mart has expanded to include barter of goods and services .We are getting beyond money! Is there something or a service you need or wish to acquire? What can you offer in exchange? Do place an advertisement here and who knows, you may just find a match!

You can also offer knowledge in exchange for something from the people who are interested in attending your class.  The something will be an item from your wish list, so you must make known your wish list. Barter of knowledge was reported in the S.T. recently. It is a meaningful and fun idea.

Spring cleaning for Christmas and the new year is round the corner. Anything from your store room to give away or sell for a token price?  Do advertise and see how much fun and satisfaction you can get, especially from giving away your possessions!

A gentle reminder: When placing an advertisement, do be guided by the guidelines. Okay, looking forward to your advertisements especially if you are giving away stuff!. :)

Guidelines on placing advertisements

1. NO corporate/company/shop advertisements. Only advertisements of personal belongings and personal services are permitted.

2. Two advertisements per month per member.

3. Each advertisement must not exceed 10 lines.

4. No telephone numbers allowed. Only e-mail addresses

ECs for this walk:  Charles Wee and ChristinaCL Chan

Join us in this last walk of 2013…  to a place filled with war history
nuggets and beauty! preserved, retained, yet seamlessly merged
with modern ammenities to provide a haven for all to enjoy.

Let the sounds of music from the sea;
the songs from a variety of feathered species;
the cool of sea breeze; the flutter of wings;
the beauty of a variety of blooms;
bring to you, a sense of calm and rest!

We will transverse along the coastline from man-made boardwalk into the
forest, filled with historical relics – an open-air museum that showcased
underground bunkers and gun batteries from WW II.

The surrounding area projects peace and solitude that brings a sense of
relief and thankfulness that the guns had ceased fire long ago and battles
are no longer fought!        {sigh}

The sight of artists capturing the gorgeous views over the sea;
fishermen preparing their fishing baits or trying their luck,
families and friends enjoying, yet another natural oasis.

With a panoramic view, it is indeed “THE place to watch sunset!”

Let us linger for a moment along the coastal front, be soothed, be lulled by
the wonders of nature and revel in this scenic view of vast sea and greenery…

Dine & Home Sweet Home will be in the Nature Reserve itself – Eco Gourmet Cafe comes highly recommended OR next to Labrador MRT (CC27) Alexandra Retail Centre(ARC) with a selection of Japanese/Chinese restaurants; Komala’s, cafes, etc

Note:
1)  For your own safety, come in comfortable footwear, no slippers/sandals.
2)  Protect oneself with sun screen, sunglasses, caps, mosquito repellant
3)  Besides umbrella, bring a disposable raincoat (though we pray for good weather)
4)  Hydrate with a bottle of drinking water.
5)  **In nature reserves — leave nothing behind and take nothing away
except memories through your lenses.

From March 2013, monthly walks will be an EC event till further notice.
You are allowed to bring your adult friends who are non-SHC members
(please get them to join SHC club, too).
Please observe SHC Rule  – Names & pictures of non-members are not to be shown or mentioned in SilverHairsClub.com.

If you have a special skill or a passion to share, starting a web page or a blog is the way forward. Be it showing us how you cook your favourite dish or  “How to ..” in many of the problems facing the seniors in the digital divide.

Some use the web page/blog just as a diary of family events to share with their love ones and friends.

Come to this month’s ITIG gathering and we will show you how to start web publishing or starting your own personal blog.

A word of caution – a web site or a blog is not a “one-off” affair. The owner requires continuous updating and maintenance of the web site or blog to sustain readership and increase viewership.

For those who have specific questions on this discussion topic, please email me (hewlee@gmail.com) one week before the meeting date. I will try my best to answer them during the class.
