Live to Eat – Part 2 July 23rd,2011 (Saturday)

Dear members

Since our last session on June 5, 2010 we had not organised another food and fun fellowship.emoticon

After our meal, we will take a 15-minute bus ride to Harbourfront. Alternatively we may take a train from Dakota or Aljunied MRT. It is also worthwhile if four persons share a cab.  Those who drive may wish to pack in a few friends, new and old.

The walk will be along the boardwalk from Vivocity to Resort World Sentosa. Per entry to Sentosa is a dollar. You may join us just for the dinner if you do not want to make the journey for the walk or you may join us just for the walk.

Let’s help bring our children, or even our nieces and nephews together

Most of us have adult children, and a few nieces and nephews.  For some, they have probably finished their formal education and are already at work, beginning a life of their own.  This morning, I read an article that the Sngapore marriage rate has dropped to a record low.  Forget about the statistics.

Shall we do a little bit for our children, nieces and nephews?  A relationship between a girl and a boy is one of the sweetest links in life.  The feeling of holding hands together and hugging one another.  It is such a nice feeling for a couple to look into the eyes of one another. This is romance.  Of course, there is a lot more to marriage; but romance is just the start.

Many of us have been married, some more than once.  That includes me.  We have children, and we want to see them live a life of their own.  A little bit of effort on our part?

Shall we do something for our children?  Think about them.

Online Fleamart – June/July 2011

Let’s begin and have an Online Fleamart.  You may buy, sell and rent, by putting a comment below this Post.  If this works, we will have a similar Post each month.  The rules are as below:

1. Only buy and sell items by “individual” registered SHC members permitted. Price can be listed.
2. Email address can be published. No tel numbers or contact addresses allowed.  As this is advertising, replies will not be permitted.  Replies will be deleted.  Interested buyers will have to contact the seller via email.
3. Individual membership cannot advertise “corporate” items.  MLM items are not allowed.
4. Members will have to publish the fleamart/sale items personally, not through another member.  You have to use an AVATAR image, so that we know who the seller is.
5. Simple, it’s free.
6. Maximum of 5 lines in the comment box.  One fleamart advert per month.

If your item is deleted, read the above rules, and you may try again.

Have fun.  Thank you Jassmine for the suggestion.  I look forward to you hosting this Post each month, starting Aug 2011.

It’s time of the year for another “fleamart event”

Last year, we had a fleamart event at Kovan.  For those who remembered, Hou Chong gave us his item which was the marmalade jam.  Unfortunately, we could not hold it as planned,  on our own.  Then, on recommendation, we teamed up with other fleamart stalls at Kovan; although the results were so so, if not, not exciting.

Well, this is the time of the year again.  I thought it would be a good time again, to start a fleamart event.  No dates or venue yet.  Any thoughts on how we can proceed?

We have organised fleamarts many times before.  While fleamarts may not be a big income or part-time time or funtime income for us, it is still an activity that SilverHairs can go into, in their free time, and be their own boss.  Over the years, I sense Singaporeans are not in the market for used items.  We tend to go more new items or good used items.

Let’s think hard.  Maybe tell us what you have, and some of us may have an idea how to help out.  My favourite is of course, used condoms.  In fact, I am running short of them.  Dont be shy.  What have you to sell, new or used?

Terence Seah

Sometimes, I just dont understand why some organisations are so stingy?

I have been following up on story about the young Thai girl, who came to Singapore to study and met with an accident.  She fell onto the tracks, luckily she is still alive, but lost two of her legs.  Parents came down to Singapore, and the young girl is now back to Thailand.

The family has to settle the huge hospitalisation and medical fees.  SMRT gave her $5,000.  And, our media took pictures of her appearing relaxed and happy, as she left Singapore.  In my mind, this is a rediculous amount, coming from SMRT.

Today, I read that some anonymous donors have given $250,000 to the young girl.  Is SMRT afraid of setting precedents?  Is SMRT afraid that they will take over the role of the insurance companies?  Can you help me uderstand SMRT’s thinking?

Use of Avatar image in SilverHairsClub.com

Last week, I activated the use of Avatar images in SilverHairsClub.com.  This is a little picture, that appears on the left of your comment.  I understand you can choose from one of the many freely available images.  You can also have a picture of yourself or pick one from your computer. 

Here’s how I manage to create an Avatar image, next to all my comments.

1. Go into http://en.gravatar.com/.
2. Put in the email address which you use in SilverHairsClub.com.
3. You can choose one image that is available, or browse from your computer.
4. Within 15 minutes, the Avatar image will be activated. You will see it next to all your comments.

Have fun.

How are we affected by the US economy?

Today, the global newspapers are reporting a seriously gloomy view of the US economy, acknowledging that it is growing slower than the Fed had expected.  Last night, with his head down most of the time, Fed Bernanke said that the US economy is recovering from its worst financial crisis and the most severe housing bust.  Recent data showed a rise in the unemployment rate to 9.1 percent in May.  It now faces additional pressures ranging from the effects of the Japanese disaster to global pressures in the commodity markets.

If you have been keeping yourself current with world events and are concern about the Asian markets, where do you see our investments, savings and the Sing dollar heading for?

Many SilverHairs are resigned to having to work until 62 or 65.  For the luckier ones, retirement savings are in insurance, CPF  and bank deposits.  Luckier ones have a house or condo to rent out.  Still, we have many friends around us with good adventures in trading shares and other instruments.

Do share and discuss.  How are we affected by the US economy? Where is the direction as you see it.  Respect for the views of other members appreciated.

CPF Minimum Sum raised to $131,000 from July 1, 2011

Some current issues are worth discussing on this forum. Below is on example. It is important we maintain the taboos of the club, and discuss ideas and suggestions, and hopefully this feedback will get to some ears. Personal criticisms especially directed at positions or persons woukd not be accepted. Keep out political discussions, and stick to ideas and suggestions or counter-suggestions.

FROM July 1, the CPF Minimum Sum (MS) will be $131,000, up from $123,000 previously, the Central Provident Fund announced in a statement on Tuesday.

The new MS will apply to CPF members who turn 55 from July 1 2011 to Jun 30 2012, those who can set aside the MS fully in cash can apply to commence monthly payouts of $1,170 when they reach their draw down age.

The Medisave Minimum Sum (MMS) will also be raised to $36,000, up from $34,500, whereby members will be able to withdraw their Medisave savings in excess of the MMS at or after age 55.

The maximum balance a member may have in his Medisave Account, also known as the Medisave Contribution Ceiling (MCC), is fixed at $5,000 above the MMS and this would be increased to $41,000, up from $39,500.

Any Medisave contribution in excess of the prevailing MCC will be transferred to the member’s Special Account if he is below age 55 or to his Retirement Account if he is above age 55 and has a MS shortfall.

The CPF Board said the increase in CPF minimum sum, MMS and MCC, which includes an adjustment for inflation, is to ensure that Singaporeans set aside sufficient savings for their retirement and be able to meet their healthcare expenses.

Golden Triangle trip, 4-8 Jan 2012

Each year, I like to take a trip to North Thailand.  Especially, when the weather is cold.  Coming next January, I plan to go to the Golden Triangle with Sompho.  This is where Laos, Thailand and Myanmar meets.  The weather is great, cold, and the pace is slow.  We plan to explore the kountains.

The plan is to do some shopping at the Burmese border., tour a few mountains, see spring flowers, speak Mandarin with the villagers who long ago came from China, take pictures of traditional Chinese buildings, eat local food, maybe some doggie meat, insects, and blow mist into the air. 

Weather is likely to be cold, around 5-15C, we get a chance to wear warm clothings, hug one another and see parts of Myanmar culture, Thaii Culture and even see Loas from high up, somewhere.

We are likely to tent, pretty comfortable, live in shared bungalows or in the vans.

As for dates, it will be 4-8 Jan 2012, both dates inclusive. Fly into Chiangmai, over night in Chiangmai, and we start the trip.  Return to Chiangmai, and you may overnight to do more shopping.

Please note I only organise *** travel.  If you are keen, put these dates in your diary.  Maybe, indicate your interest here.  You may withdraw, before  Nov 2011.

Would you like to try to create the banner picture?

Aiyah, I just realised the pictures for the Prom night have been uploaded by Sock Cheng.  Guess, we dont want to see the boring banner done by Terence.  So out with your creativity. 

I think we should create a new banner picture from the series of Prom night photos.  Would you like to give it a try?

Details:

  • Size:  700 x 184 pixels
  • Format:  jpg
  • other details – no borders needed.  can be a mix and match. a montage is a good idea too.
  • All pictures must be taken from the photos uploaded by Sock Cheng on the SHC website.

Give it a try.  I am looking for 2 sets of banners, by different persons.  Once you have done it, please email to me.

Terence Seah  Thank you.

    34. SilverHairsClub started
    with the objective of providing opportunities for SilverHairs to meet new and
    more friends.  I think it has fulfilled this objective
    rather well.  However, many of our activities are conducted in
    English.  Even on this forum, everything is in English; except when Timothy
    Liu comes into the picture.  Sometimes, there are conversations in Hokkien,
    Cantonese, Teochew and not forgetting the Hainanese.  I guess many
    SilverHairs are fluent in English, even though they may be comfortable with
    Mandarin too.

    But, I think we should not forget Mandarin events.  Our Dolly Lim is
    fluent is Mandarin; she had worked well in China.  Timothy Liu writes well
    in Chinese; although I have not heard him speak Mandarin.  Thomas Loh had
    compered our "One night in Shanghai"; and he was incredibly good.  There
    are many more who are fluent and comfortable in Mandarin.

    Most of our events are conducted in English.  Of course, there are a
    number of guys and gals who are not able to understand Mandarin.  This
    includes me; even though I sometimes wonder how my business colleaques in China
    understand my basic Mandarin.  Sometimes, I tell myself, wouldn’t it be
    nice if we have a 100% Chinese Mandarin event.  No Hokkien, no Cantonese,
    no Teochew, no Hainese, no ……

    Comperes and announcers are in Mandarin.  Announcement, notices,
    registration slips, etc all in Chinese.  Songs in Mandarin ; music all
    Mandarin.  And, all attendees speak or at least try to
    do Mandarin.

    For those who dont understand Mandarin, find a translator friend among club
    members.  Use online translation.  Even, keep the entire Post in
    Mandarin, as much as possible.

    So, what shall we have?  What kind of theme shall we adopt?  How
    shall we make the event successful?  If you know of someone who is very
    comfortable and fluent in Mandarin, please ask him or her to raise the right
    hand.  Bring your ideas to the open.  If you have not spoken before,
    maybe this is one opportunity.

    Please do not write to me.  Try to put all your thoughts, ideas and
    suggestions on this forum.  Let everybody read your ideas.  And,
    give others a chance to share; no thumping of the ideas of other members.

    Let’s take the whole of April and May to toss around an event.  Of
    course, please do not feel disappointed if I do not pick your idea, as we have
    to pick one idea.

    SHC is for you.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Facial Kua-Sa (Ladies Only) – Hands-on Workshop 14/May/2011(Sat)

Hi

I will like to share my experiment of facial Kua-sa with those ladies’ who are interested to have a younger looking skin.

I am not a professional Beautician by trade but I picked up this Facial Kua-Sa a few years back and have benefitted from it . I  have  be using this method to do monthly facial on my own at home and have save money for not visiting the SPA.   A few SHC members have see the result of this  facial Kua-sa .

I have very bad pigmentation as I am always under the hot-sun with my kids’s outdoor activities. With this facial method  –  it have lighten the pigmentation ,  lift-up the skin around the Cheeks where it will always form a "Pa-Zhi" as we age. It helps to soften wrinkles on the fore-head as well as crow-feet  around the eyes.

This  facial Kua-Sa will help blood-circumlate around  the facial area which result in a more radiant  & growing skin.

So , all the "Ai-Swee" ladies who are interested … Sign in for a morning class at Cafe. 

Venue : "Bra" Cafe

Date : 14/May/2011(Sat)     Time : 10.00Am – 12.00 Noon

Course Fee : $25 (include a Kua-Sa tool worth $15 to bring home after the class)

                      Include one "lemon Whitening Mask"  which we will be using during the class

 

Things to bring  : *   Day cream (yr own daily use cream)  or  Baby Lotion  

                             *   Small Mirror

                             *   Pen

                             *  hair-band or a towel to tie your hair back 

 ** Please come without your make-up but is ok to apply your day cream as we will be doing a Hands-on Demo in the class **  

Do come down  for a "Cha Bor" Morning breakfast & Chit-Chat session and  make yoursel "Mei Mei" for the day to come.

WA holiday

Hello SHCians

Haven’t written quite a while and am back in Perth for the cool weather.

In case anyone is coming to Perth, I’ll be travelling down southwest WA to Busseltong and Balingup with 3  friends. We 4 ladies are booked to stay in a farm cottage, hoping to pick the last few apples and going to some fruit wineries etc. This is followed then by a spot of fisihing in Busseleton where 1 of the friends live.

From reading the travel news I can see there are some keen travellers off to other places. Hope to join in some of the tours organised by you some of you.

 

Regards

Joan (Perth)

A Tribute to Robert Quek

Latest Update : Robert’s Wake is held at Mount Vernon Sanctuary, Purity Hall.  Was told that funeral will be on this Friday, 8 Apr 2011 – Details will be updated later… Dolly

Another SHC member, Robert Quek had left us today (Apr 4, 2011) – He was admitted on April 1 to Tan Tock Seng Hosptial due to massive stroke which subsequently went into coma.  Sad to be told by his family members that his heart had stopped and passed on with  both Kristy and son by his side.  Many friends were beside him. – A group of us were there to pay him visit before this and we were all praying hard that he is able to pull thru’ – I supposed Robert felt that this is best that he wanted himself to be.

Both Robert and Kristy had joined SHC in Y2007.  He was a good natured and humble man which I am sure that they were well liked by many other members.  He was very active in events’ planning for many SHC members.  I can still remembered that he used to arrange for  free concerts and movies at either Esplanade or NUS, Weekly MacRitchie walks, Dinner & Live Band at Changi Saiing Club, Monthly makan and social get together, Special wak to the Tree-top and Observation Tower, many Self Development seminars, etc etc

He was also a very sporting member which I can remembered very well during our 2nd SHC D&D – he was impersonating a Japanese dancer which brought us a lots of laughters and fond memories.

Sympathy and condolences to both Kristy and son and may we prayed for them to be strong to face life ahead.

As this point of time, I do not have any other more updated details to be given here.. Once they are available, I will update accordingly.

Always remembered by Dolly

Another fairy tale story in our time

Many of us may have remembered the grand wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.  I was studying in London at that time, and was so excited to be able to be able to witness such a grand affair as a student.  Hundreds of thousands of tourists thronged London just to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.  However, Princess Diana is now gone; and the rest is just memory and history.

Another fairy tale is now in the making; and that’s the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  He is a soldier and the next in line to the throne.  She is pretty, clever and educated.  I just love fairy tales.

Where were you when Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married?  And where will you be when Prince William and Kate tie the knot?  In London?
