Video presentation showcase – All you need to know about PORK – The Ultimate Guide to Pork Cuts – shared amongst our SHC participants.
https://youtu.be/ozQvLhTxLqY
TOPIC DISCUSSION of the Day
1. In many Cultures, women cook more than men. Why? Who did most of the cooking when you were growing up?
– Most of the participants’ feedback is WOMEN, remembering those were the days in the 60s where home kitchen is Mom’s territory – Dad goes to work while Mom stays home to raise the children and keep the house.
– A couple of participants mentioned hubby n brother, these ladies are the fortunate ones who do not have to wreck their brains but just savour instead.
– For me, professional kitchens still male dominated and women are doing such amazing stuff still fighting to get recognized in the culinary industry.
2. Recipe Sharing, all pork related…

With consent from Mr. Terence Seah, I like to conduct a survey.
I plan to create a social mobile platform for PMET 40 years above. PMET may be displaced or retired.
What is it for them?
By signing up the platform, PMET can share their experience and get to know each other better to exchange ideas. Hopefully they may form a team to create a startup. The platform will guide them and accelerate their dream from startup to IPO. PMET may have not discover their full potential. Also it is about time to invest in yourself and at least take control of your investment.
The roadmap from startup to IPO requires a strong management team. This a prerequisite when investors consider to invest in startup. From the platform PMET may assemble a A+ management team among themselves.
Thus appreciate members may share your view if such platform is feasible.
If yes Why?
If no why?
Kindly email me at dtan168@yahoo.com to share your view.
Thank you very much members and especially to Mr. Terence Seah.

Late Birds is a late night program, especially for SHC members who cannot sleep early. Held every Fri at 9.30 pm, 1 hour only.
There are many gossips among members in the Club. While some members are affected by gossips, it is clear that gossips are impossible to stop. In fact, any attempts to stop or deny gossips have failed. Gossips have for generations, become a favourite past time during lunches, walks, tea breaks and now Whatsapp.
Gossips are not just many women’s strong points. Men also enjoy gossips too. Not just among ordinary seniors like us, but also in royal, government, business, political and entertainment circles.
Some gossips are rumours. Others are fake news, while some are true but unproven. I had thought over whether to have a regular session on SHC Gossips. Some do feel that having a gossip session only makes the gossips worse. Most times, members being gossiped get to hear the gossips after hearing from 3rd parties, and unable to give their versions of the gossip.
EO Sue Chan will moderate this session. I dont know how and where this session will lead to, but do feel free to participate, every Fri 9.30 pm.

This is our 1st walk for 2020 :D :D :D
We chose this route to walk less within the Park!
Let’s stroll upstream along the river banks; see water ripples
swirling through natural rocks, waters that glisten in the sun;
provides an exceedingly soothing and therapeutic peace to the mind.
An initiative by PUB was launched in 2006 to transform our waterways into
beautiful streams with natural materials, waterscapes; creating spaces for
the community to enjoy and increase biodiversity.
Bishan-AMK park was one of the flagship projects under this transformation programme between PUB and NParks.
The park which is located in urban central Singapore was transformed from a concrete canal to having a natural “Kallang River” flowing into and
through the park, an immense project never done before.
The park now with lush greenery, grassy lawns, playgrounds, ponds, are all
ideal for family picnics and gatherings; fitness enthusiasts cycle or pant
along well-maintained tracks.
The walk leaving us tired and hungry will culminate for dinner at AMK Hub.
Note:
No or limited shelters, good to have your brollies with you.
Water to hydrate on a hot day.
Need energy, bring along a snack.
To breeze along, lighten your load.

Hello……this forum page is quite deserted huh, with many of our events “zooming” in cyberspace. We are still on a national day mood, so Happy National Day to all members. I still believe this is the platform for mass appeal, after which, ZOOM serves to enlighten or entertain the niche we have found. An announcement : The Cantonese Karaoke is now fixed on every Thursday, from 9pm. Duration can be variable – to be decided by the host or co-host. Join us if you like to listen to Canto songs, or better still, sing.

Here’s something I wanna share with you guys.
Yesterday, I went to the supermarket with the prudence dictated by the new normal. Mask, Safe entry and safety distance.
I then started to get the things that were on my short list, and when I was lining up to pay, between taking the money and storing the phone, the $50 note I had to pay fell on the floor, and the man who was in front of me finishing paying his purchases slowly bent down and picked up my note.
Woww, How much education and kindness in these pandemic times – I thought. I held out my hand, waiting for him to give me back my money, trying to stay away, so that he would feel safe, while preparing to thank him for the gesture.
But suddenly, what he told me was shocking – What’s on the floor belongs to whoever finds it! – and just like that, he left … naturally, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong.
I looked at the lady behind me and the people next to me and they all looked at me in shock and disbelief, whispering things between them.
For a moment there, I was trying to evaluate myself. I wanted to do justice on my own … I left my purchases, because I had no way to pay (I forgot to bring my credit card), and went after him to the carpark, to have my $50 returned.
However, I realized that the people closest to the line came after me, curious to know what was going to happen …
I spoke to him demanding my money but he just looked at me with contempt and acted like I was invisible.
When he got to the car, he slowly put his two shopping bags on the floor to take the key out of his pocket and open the trunk, and I thought – It’s now or never!
I took the two bags and told him the same thing he had said to me – What is on the floor belongs to those who find it! – and I started running towards the exit, between fright and laughter, proud of my revenge.
The spectators started to applaud and I saw that the “smart guy” had been irritated after all, as he left the parking lot dropping security cones in his path.
I swear I felt a rush of adrenaline, fright and nervousness, but then I cried with laughter.
When I got home I opened the bags and found:
I had never made so many purchases with only $50.
And now here I am … Having a glass of wine, eating and thinking as I write – am I a vigilante or a vindictive person?
HAVE YOU READ THIS UNTIL HERE?
This obviously did not happen to me. It’s just a campaign to promote reading!
Reading stimulates the mind and imagination, makes us travel to other places and even helps communication.
If you want to copy and paste and produce a smile from your friends.
Please go ahead, stimulate someone else’s mind.
