Background: To enable some members to sell their personal items on the SHC forum, we had started the SHC online Fleamart. This Post begins each month, and members can sell their personal items. Jassmine Teo was leading this project. We started with no picture, and the IT guys have added picture capability to the Posts and later t the comments. The usage of this service varies from one to 5 items per month. Corporate or business items were excluded in the month online fleamart. The online fleamart had stopped recently due to inadequate response and lack of members volunteering to lead and follow up each month.
There was good interest among members for the physical Fleamart. From feedback, we had a few fleamarts, and the result range from so so to successful. The last fleamart was held at Civil Service Sports Club.
Last few years, we had feedback to set up and gather a group to buy and sell in bulk. The ideas toyed around, but there was insufficient interest. I guess the thinking was that it is easier to buy from the suupermarket, than to harnesss a group to buy in bulk. Maybe there is the logistic difficulty. But, we keep this idea fresh and on-going, and if the item is workable, let’s pick it up again.
There has always been interests by some members to sell their corporate items. The items vary. The members who are interested are those with products and services, ideally suited to seniors and their elderly family members. Various groups within SHC have met to discuss online selling; setting up a website, use of available shopping portals eg eBay, gumtree, etc. There were talks on delivery difficulties, collection of payment, and the type of products and services to be offered. But, I guess the various groups did not take off their ideas, due to varied interests, concerns with starting an online business as most of us are no long as young as we thought, funding and fear of the long process in setting up an online shopping business.
iShop@SHC, a SilverHairs Enterprise project for 2015
We are all still dreaming, even though we may be young. Well, if you have still the idea of running an online shopping business, dont give up., I think there is sufficient interest among some members, and I have asked my India guys to help set up a simple online shopping service called “iShop@SHC”. Due to the legality and business nature, “iShop@SHC” will be operated under SilverHairs Enterprise Pte Ltd. iShop@SHC will be a project of SilverHairs Enterprise, and is not intended to be a money losing project, unlike events and activities under SilverHairs Club which usually loses money.
Our India IT guys have just completed iShop@SHC. The project starts with Adult diapers, and today, it has only 4 items. The online shopping will be promoted in SHC and in newspapers and other media in Singapore. It features payment collections via paypal, credit card, ATM transfer and internet banking. The delivery portion is still in progress and limited; but I hope it will grow as we go along. URL SilverHairs-Enterprise.org.
A few members, who have their own products and services, have been discussing with me to use iShop@SHC. If you are interested to sell your products or services as a business, especially to seniors and elderlies, please contact me via Whatsapp. Think about your products or services, pictures, pricing, your competition, payment, banking procedures, storage of your products, orders handling, delivery and modes of communicating with your buyers and delivery team.
For a start, we have started with adult diapers, and the product identified is CERTAINTY Adult diapers, from Thailand. This is an operational service. If you like to run your own online shopping services under iShop@SHC, please understand the workings of the portal iShop@SHC.
Thank you to the members who have helped to test the service and offered ideas on test iShop@SHC.

Dear All
Badminton at Gombak started 3 years ago.
It saw players came and go.
The regulars who come faithfully made it worth the efforts of “bookers” who camped at 7.00 am just to ensure that we get our bookings on Tuesdays 10.00am to 12.00 noon.
(Sometimes, we would miss the regular slots if the booker is too slow to click the buttons.. sigh..)
Yes, Gombak is “out of the way”, “ulu” and “walau.. so far leh”
Still, I hope there are SHC members out there who would join us for some sweating out.
We welcome pros and beginners
See you on 6/1/2015 (Tuesday) at Gombak Indoor stadium, 10.00am-12.00noon

Update: The cafe seems to have been closed. This post is not valid for now.
One of the most important activity in SilverHairsClub is the monthly gathering. It is an Suddexcellent opportunity for members to meet one another.
The key agenda of the monthly gathering is to meet one another, for all kinds of reasons and excuses. It is the after-the-monthly-gathering that is equally exciting. We leave it to you.
This time, we have a fellow member who has volunteered to ring the ship’s bell, and buy the first drink for all members who register for this event. We will work the details later.
The event will be held as below:
Hans Cafe and Restaurant,
Upper Pickering Street,
Near MRT is Clarke Quay
Time: 5pm to 8pm
Date: Fri 6 Feb 2015
Registration is required. Please bring along your home-made nametag. The drink voucher will be given to you, for registered members only.
Plse put this date into your diary. And on this note, and on behalf of SilverHairsClub, I like to thank the kind member.

The approach of X’mas and the New Year is a good time to reflect and soul search. This year has been mostly uneventful, with broken resolutions and a persistent reluctance to move out of my comfort zone. My plate was full and personal interests remained on the back burner.
Next year I hope to see some CHANGES. My plate shall be half full, thus giving me the time to pursue more deeply some personal interests and to build up a momentum for an exercise regime.
As we age, our priorities change and health becomes more important than wealth. Living with less becomes more attractive, hence becoming minimalist is an attractive option for me and I shall give priority to uncluttering next year.
With these challenges in the offing, I look forward to 2015. :)
“Oh come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer /Our spirits by Thine advent here.”
Reflecting…
Hello kopi kakis ~ Just a couple of weeks to 2015! Welcome to our first coffee chat in 2015… Details are as follows:
Come and have some fellowship and fun ~ a good time for retirees or the semi-retired to ‘wild’ away the time. Chit-chat with friends (old as well as new ones), exchange views, sharing of jokes and have a good laughter therapy. No charge for this event except ordering a cup of coffee for yourself unless you wish to indulge in the niceties available here.
Please register ASAP if you are interested. You can either apps me or reply on this blog. Thank you in advance for your support.
CHEERS,
Gabriella, EO
Those coming (Event is strictly for SHC members only):
(Thank you to all you friends who turned up to support my coffee chat (now called kopi club)… hahaha… I’m sure you’ll agree that we had a wonderful time ~ yakking, drinking coffee, enjoying Charles Cher’s brandy fruit cake and his entertainment on the harpsichord. Of course, we had our free laughter therapy!)
Looking forward to seeing you all again at chat in Feb. :-)

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
“Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs. But it’s your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.”
SilverHairsClub shall continue to look for places where members can gather together, to get to know one another. We shall make effort to enable Singaporeans, over 45, to meet new friends.
Two members, SS James Tan and Andrew Koh showed me the Jayleen Hotel at Carpenter Street to evaluate their lunch setup and facilities. We found the place suitable for a Saturday afternoon gathering. The lunch buffet is reasonable, and workable. There is also a cosy living area and dining area. Convenient is the large carpark, just outside the hotel.
The hotel has a reasonable music system. Although loudness will be limited because of closeness to the hotel rooms, we may be able to use the music system. We can have slow or soft ballads, and old fashion singing. We can also have our own musician, who would have to bring along our own keyboard or guitar. Accompanied singing is allowed, altho we have to set the sound level to 3. 10 is the loudest. I am thinking of some old school songs to agitate our school days memories.
If we start at 12nn, we can end around 4pm. This would be a Saturday. We are looking at a price level of $17 per pax.
Menu is subject to change:
Please register asap. Registration before 31 Dec 2014 gets a discount and pays $16.

Dear all
Anyone here have experience purchasing a pair of hearing aids?
Yes I am looking for one for myself as I beginning to have hearing difficulties with High pitch frequencies. I was told its better to start using it now as it will be harder to get use to it as years goes by.
I have tried the middle range by Simens and Banform both The Receiver in Cannal and Behind The Ear type. I m looking for a pair which give less static and not too expensive to discard in case its like the pair of bifocal glasses which I have made but did not like using it.
Appreciate your comments or share with me via my email limfreda@gmail.com
Thank you
Has 2014 been kind to you? Which will bring about the famous quote ” Dont ask what the country can do for you but ask what you can do for the country ?
2014 has seen the spillover of the crisis from 2013 eg like Euorpean stagnant economy, maritime dispute in South China Sea and a host of
unsolvable or yet to be solved geo-political issue. 2014 has also seen the emergence of new global and regional issues, like the Ukraine, ISIS, Ebola, MH17 and MH370. Truly will the early the year attention grabbing missing MH370 ever be found or goes down as a greatest mystery in Aviation history.
What new issues or threat 2015 will surface.
On an individual level, how have you achieve your individual goals if you have set one for 2014. I have written off the remaining months
for 2014 and plan for 2015. .
Among my various goals, financial, social and health, the good life I am having have caused me to fail my health target relative to 2013.
Total Cholestrol is high, Triglycerides, BMI are off though marginally. A Fail is still a Fail. The various dinner outing by SHC, and various other communities is not helping with my diet
The month of Dec has heavy schedule of feasting. Thus got to excuse from being discpline for a while before I abstain from ”
Eating the wrong food for the wrong reason, especially paid for or free.
Noted that it is always the same few who air their opinions. Why are people afraid to share ?
Among the various way to prevent dementia which currently have no cure is to stay socially active.
It does not matter whether your opinion reveal you to be naive , biased, shallow or wise. It is more important to be heard.
That is how you learn
One important lesson I learned in my early working career is “it is not critical to know everything before starting on something”
Among the great quotes on leadership, a recent one by a Chinese political leader is
” If is not you, then who” It remind me of my MBA class day when the USA main professor tell the administration confidentially that we students
are better off not pursuing the degree when he cannot even get a volunteer to be the class monitor for weeks. MBA is meant to produce leader, he said
I volunteered and thus organized the trip to USA campus studies and also the grand convocation ceremony in Singapore.
I am still fond of those memories.
So for those introvert which I was before, start the 2015 with a resolution to be a more extrovert personality.
Live life with conviction, confidence and compassion.
I am looking forwards to 2015 where I embark on new projects and seeing my other project reaching maturity or closing. Especially to bring my health target back on track. For those who didnt do health check or screening because retired already, make it a 2015 resolution too.
regards
(In the light of rising numbers of unscrupulous individuals…)
The cheat, the corrupt, the evil…they are manifestations of the DARK side of human nature. It is not easy to be ‘good’ when the good ends up being victim; the vulnerable also needs protection against unscrupulous people. Justice is ‘blind’ and seems under threat by these dark forces….
Just when it seems the good in human nature is being destroyed, along comes the WHISTLE BLOWER to the rescue! The wrong doer is punished! There is HOPE for mankind!
The long arm of justice depends greatly on whistle- blowers. I hope our country enact whistle-blower protection laws soon. Meanwhile while waiting, we can learn to blow the recorder, the harmonica, the flute… and of course the TRUMPET! :)

Raymond Tang Chew Weng passed away peacefully on Friday October 24th, 2014 at home. He was born February 4th, 1948.
The wake will be held at Blk 729 Woodlands Circle until Tuesday October 28th, 2014 at 10.45am. He will then be cremated at Mandai Crematorium
Raymong Tang was known to us as one of a few SHC members who dedicated his own time and finance in teaching other willing members on golf. He used to spent many weekday evenings at Marine, Sebawaing and Mandai in sharing his golfs’ skills and knowledge with a group of SHC members. We hereby wish him farewell to a journey well travelled
Best regards,

A friend told me her brother- in- law (a Dutchman) is celebrating his 100 years old birthday soon. And this centenarian is as healthy as can be! What is the secret to his good health and longevity? I see much younger people already bedridden or needing wheelchairs.
What’s the use of living to 80s and 90s if one is suffering from debility? Hence I think it’s a good idea to ‘study’ the habits of healthy octogenarians and nonagenarians (or centenarians!) and try to uncover at least one thing that can impact health in old age positively.
There is a story in the *ST recently about a 99-year-old former principal who is still learning a foreign language. Every day he spends about four hours self-learning Italian. And he is so engrossed in his study he has no time to feel lonely. This made me conclude that serious learning will help keep dementia at bay. This is the one thing I would like to share with others and I hope to practice this one thing myself asap! :) *Sunday Times 12/10
SilverHairsClub developed its main objective to provide a platform for SilverHairs, over 45, to meet new and more friends. Over the last 9 years, we get to understand our objective better, and whether it has served our efforts.
The Council of Third Age recent survey revealed that many Singaporeans who have left full time work are not able to fulfil their leisure interests because they need to look after their family duties first.
Grand children to look after, keeping the house clean, get ready homecooked food and caring after an ageing family member. Are you one of those who are unable to participate in SHC activities because you have family duties to do? What percentage of your SHC friends do you know fall under this category?
Or are you within the 36-45% surveyed that say your reasons for non-participation in leisure activities are due to lack of money or because of age? The survey added that most seniors prefer to keep to themselvces after they retired and may lack the courage to proactively intereact with others?
Come share your thoughts, even if you have been inactive? What do you think? What about you? Make an effort to share your thots.

This month we will be walking in Fort Canning Park. Before November 1981
it was named Fort Canning Hill or “Forbidden Hill” in Malay. Since the
14th century many Singapore rulers and colonial masters have lived here,
including Sir Stamford Raffles. It was an important military base during
World War II.
Fort Canning Park is undulating and about 60 metres high. Remnants and
relics of bygone eras are around. There’s a Spice Garden, previously
Singapore’s first experimental and botanic garden. The tranquil ambience
together with diverse flora and fauna makes the walk interesting. You will
appreciate the beautiful sculptures completed by various artists.
Many cultural and recreational activities are held here.
Note: Bring water, caps, umbrella and wear comfortable walking shoes.

A sad story…
The childless widow is very rich; her bungalow compound is so large – there is a lily pond, a swimming pool and fruit trees …. In her bungalow she has two galleries filled with paintings and precious stone ornaments – so much luxury to enjoy and she and her late husband had enjoyed it for a long time.
Alas! In her dotage she let in a wolf in sheep’s clothing and she has become senile and is completely helpless now – doesn’t know her wealth is being squandered by the wolf.
Is there a moral to this sad story? What came to my mind was “Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.”! Now for the moral – beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing?
Teresa Teng lived during our time. Unfortunately, she has already left us. Her heart is still with many people in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea and Japan. Her songs are varied, wide and memorable. Some of us sing just like Teresa Teng, either in Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Japanese or English. Music makes the world go rund. Music brings people together, and I hope this program will bring Singaporeans and PRs (esp members of SHC) together.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkPPGj62n3E&sns=em
Some of you have suggested on this forum to have a Teresa Teng sing-alike activity. The idea of this event is still vague. However, I see this event as an opportunity for those who love to sing Teresa Teng’s songs on stage. If you sing like Teressa Teng, or at least close to Teresa Teng, and would like to sing for us, we would create a registration list here for you to let us know..
If you like to compere this event, please let me know here. For comperes, you may write to me via email or Whatapp.
