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.

I have a pair of tickets to the above attractions valid till 8 Dec 2013. If you need it, I can pass it on.

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
?#59 – from Bishan Interchange
?#109 – from Serangoon Interchange

For information on bike or skate rental, you may enquire at :

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.

Date:  09 November 2013, Saturday
Start Time:   4.30pm sharp
Meeting Place:   HarbourFront Centre, Level 1 (vicinity of Pizza Hut #01-69/
BreadTalk #01-67).
Nearest MRT: HarbourFront CC29, Exit B.
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.

I love organising activities for members. But very often i am away on work. i like to form a permanent team to work with me on these activities, maybe for a year. The work will involve meeting members, registration work, payment, managing the venue and encouraging members to join the events. It will also let you meet more people.

If you like to join the team, please email me. you can have a choice of tasks. Take this opportunity to engage our membership and get to know more people.

How can members mix around at a buffet restaurant?

It’s always a battle.  When we gather together, we all love to plong ourselves on a chair. Then, we don’t move for the next 2-3 hours.  And then members complain we should move around because we are not mixing around.  Then, we have introductions, games, and members feel they have no time to network.

I like an “All standing gathering” with a drink on the left hand and some snacks on serving tables. We keep our right hand for shaking hands. But then, we complain the legs are just not that strong. “Why no chairs?”

At Hans restaurant, some tables are long, and we don’t know who to talk with, on the right or on the left.  Some tables are small, and we squeeze and again, we don’t move.

What about a buffet restaurant?  If we go for a buffet lunch or dinner, and we sit down in tables of four, how are we going to mix and network.  At the end of the gathering, we go home knowing 3 persons, and not knowing the others.  What can we do?

SilverHairs love to make friends.  Don’t have to go into the why’s. How do we mix and network at monthly gatherings and still get to know a good number of other members?

There is always a spread of food on the serving table.  Nowadays, the restaurants serve ah la cart buffet or order as you like.  And, each of us get our own plates, bowl and fork and spoon.  Can we move ourselves, say every 30 mins?  The EO can “ting a glass” and time to move.  Those who don’t want to move can sit still; others can move.  We do it 3 times, and in 2 hours, we get to meet a new set of friends.

What do you think?  Do you have ideas?

Dear all

The Ageless Theatre presents Faces (Phases) of Love, a play about the power of love and the search for that special someone. It comprises four short skits, including one about a lonely widow’s love for her deceased husband, and another about four mahjong buddies reminiscing about love and loss.

The venue is the Marine Parade Community Club Theatrette. Each ticket costs $15. As contact numbers of the organisers cannot be displayed here, if you wish to join a couple of us for this performance, you may transfer funds to my POSB Savings Account 159-13164-5 and I can purchase the tickets on your behalf.

What is interesting is that the Ageless Theatre comprises people aged 43 and above.

Any play enthusiasts?

Joy :)

Here’s wishing all our Muslim friends Hari Raya Haji.

This year’s festival falls on Tue Oct 15 2013.  To soak in the atmosphere, drop by Kampong Glam and Geyland Serai.  I may go to Kampong Glam to check out the shops, Malay heritage sites etc.

Shisha is waiting……

Thousands of end users were caught by surprise the unexpected inconvenience caused to them after a fire broke out at the telco’s exchange station on Wednesday, 9 Oct 2013.  Businesses lost their customers and takings for the day; punters missed their winning opportunites; subscribers scrambled for connectivity with their friends; lovers, friends etc missed their dates or were late for appointment.

Where were you and what were you doing at the time when the disruption began?  How did you adjust to the inconvenience?

Read my comments on my story.

Good morning, Silver Babees!

Guess most of you are up and about; probably done your chores, walked the dog and had a hearty breakfast.  Others may be out walking, cycling or simply reading the papers at the coffee shop or at home.

A typical Sunday for me when I do not have an appointment is to sleep in, perhaps throw in some exercise and surfing the internet – chilling out totally.

How do you spend your Sundays?

Here’s a song to start our day…………

Cancer is  painful and dreaded sickness. Many of us know of a friend or a relative who had suffered from cancer, undergoing treatment or has passed away bcause of cancer. Be it cancer of the lungs, colon, postrate, nose, skin, or smach, the sickness is dreaded and feared.  If treatment is treated early, the cances of a cure is high; if detected late, it’s along process of treatment, and a stress to the care-giver. It is also expensive.

What have you experienced, seen or done when you knopw of someone who has cancer. Which hospital did you go? What were your medication? Which foreign country did the person go to for treatment? What herbs or plants were tried? How much was spend? What kind of government support was available?

Hi Friends,

Due to some circumstances, I am unable to go for the Yangon trip schedule from 6-10 November 2013. Number of confirmed persons going including myself is 21.

It is a twin room sharing with another lady. I have already purchased my air ticket with jetstar worth $164.60. It is transferrable and I am selling it for only $50. You would have to pay the difference between the current ticket price and the amount I purchased ($164.60) plus a transfer fee of about $50.

If you are keen on going for this trip, kindly email me at eunice.tay.bg@gmail.com for more details.

Thanks & Regards

“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.
