Join us for the walk from Woodlands MRT, into Admiralty Park towards Woodlands Waterfront.     Located in the north western corner of Singapore, Admiralty Park, a national park in Woodlands, offers both nature and recreational facilities.  Sungei Cina once used to run through the park but it has been diverted for the construction of the park. Much of the park is mangrove swamp.    We will walk one of the boardwalks which is within the mangrove forest, follow along a nature trail and enjoy its rustic surroundings.
Leaving Admiralty Park, we arrive at the entrance to Woodlands Waterfront which was launched in May this year.  Once a laid-back coastal area where a stretch of warehouses used to be, the area now offers a variety of recreational opportunities for people of all ages   The coastal park and waterfront promenade has four distinctive areas – the waterfront picnic green, event plaza, playground and jetty walk.   Overlooking the Straits of Johor, the refurbished jetty measuring about 400m long and about 12m wide, is one of the longest coastal jetties in Singapore.   Enjoy a breezy stroll along the jetty walk and take in the beautiful sea view.
After the jetty walk, walking back along the main Admiralty Road West we take bus service no 856 to Woodlands bus interchange/MRT station.   For those who wish to, can adjourn for dinner at the Mega Food Mall, 5th level or the Banquet, 7th level in Causeway Point.
Bring drinking water, an umbrella (for rain or sun), mosquito repellent, camera, cap and wear comfortable walking shoes.
 
See you at the walk!

One night in JB – Sat/Sun 30/31 Oct 2010

I have not been to JB for a long time.  Probably the last time I was there overnight was in 1991.  JB has become very prosperous over the years, and the last time I could admire the city was while passing through and going to the kelong or to Batu Pahat in the day.  I guess there is much to explore, but as I am not able to find the time, i had to convince someone to guide the way.  Well, finally, after two months of temptation, I manage to con Sam Ah Huat tonight to help piece together "One night in JB".  As usual, in the most disorganised fashion, nothing has been decided. The hotel has not been decided, what we will do there, what are the dinner plans, how we get there and how much it will cost.  Nothing.

The only data we have confirmed are:

  1. The dates – Sat to Sun 30 – 31 Oct 2010.
  2. The time – Sat, early morning to sun, late afternoon.
  3. The one who is most interested to go – Terence Seah
  4. The co-EOs are Sam Ah Huat and Dolly Lim.
  5. The cost – somewhere before $150.
  6. And, what’s included are a bed overnight and dinner.
  7. Other details – guess we have to start thinking now.

It would be nice if you can join the party.  But, it is still two months away.  If your diary is free, and you may be able to join us,  try putting up your hand.  Once we know where the beds are located, we will let you know when you can put down your hands.  In the meantime, feel free to toss around any idea.  Interested?

Monthly Meet Agenda

Hi guys and gals;

I fully agree for any meet should have a/ agendas – so that those attending knows / prepares for it – more concrete results can be seen. After the "serious agenda meeting " – then all can let their hair down to enjoy themselves as per normal !

Such first meet must – as suggested have a committee formed – a member as the main co-ordinator ( MCO )  for a particular activity. MCO will invite other members to assist him/her in planning / organising the activity.

Are we allowed as a non-registered club to have such a set-up ??? Someone needs to check on this ! Other than that I am most willing to step forward and be counted on to be one of the committee!

Cheers – have nice days ahead

Regards : Fong Fong ( tenmeng@gmail.com.sg )

Should we have an agenda for the monthly meeting?

Most of us are glad to be a member at the Silverhairs Club and appreciate what Terence has done in providing a platform for us to meet. So far Terence has suggested and introduce many activities and carry it through in the last few years. As member we are happy to be part of this and look forward to more participation to come.

Is there something we could do or suggest to bring the club to the next level? Out of this Club many smaller groups are formed and they in turn meet up privately and persue their common interest.

The September meeting will be different from what we had previously. Live singing  by Jeffrey Gan on the keyboard and karoeke singing where member brings their own cd wll be the happenings of the day! Board and card games will also be encourage where member can look for other member sharing similar interest.

I would like to see more participation from member, how about meeting up and have a time where various member can share their thought and mission in life, something in line with Toastmaster International. Having our meeting in Han’s may not provide the privacy needed in such sharing by public speaking. We need to find a place more enclosed for such.

We all come from various background, there will be something exciting to share. Having to make comment on the post may be prohibiting as certain topic may be sensitive. When we meet and listen to fellow member share their goals and ideal in life, a certain bond are created.

Volunteers will be ask to share something about their life that  is memorable and enriching. Do you know that I have tried bungee jumping just because I was trying to get someone’s attention. Oh, there are so much to share and talk about.

It may be just meeting up and sharing each other profile and ideal in life. So, fellow member come to this September gathering. I would want to try something out where we allocate a time frame for each of us to speak out and suggest what they want to see happening in this unigue Club! So many thing I would want to share, my life, my passion and motivation in life and of course some of you may want to share too. Let’s hear from you?

Those who have name tag – PLEASE bring along and wear it throughout the event.

When I was about 18 years old, I use to go camping at Changi Beach just behind where the British Army had a Survival School. behind the school, this stretch of beach was quite secluded. Sometimes we would organize Beach Parties there. By about 2 am, after most of the guests have gone home, a few of us guys would go ‘skinny dipping’. The few girls that were still there would pretend not to watch when we strip but after we get into the water they would shout comments at us from the beach.  I still remember 2 comments even up till today.

  • “Beware of the fishes, they might mistaken yours for a big worm”
  • ‘Don’t shake it more than 3 times…….it is call masturbation”

I am organizing our August  monthly meeting at  Palawan Beach, Santosa.  It will be a Beach Party, but we will not go ‘skinny dipping’ because at our age, I think we will look gross. Even the police would not want us in their station. They will put us straight into the lunatic asylum. I know this will not stop some of you from doing it.

My friend who owns Samudar Indian Restaurant at Palawan beach in Santosa has agreed to let us use the Restaurant on Saturday 21st August.  The restaurant has an alfresco dining area and an aircon dining hall. It can accommodate 200 people.  There are showers on the beach in front of the restaurant and changing facilities nearby.

We will start the party at 3pm. You can swim, play with balls, build sand castle or just enjoy the sea breeze. I need volunteers to organize a few beach games. For those who prefer to stay indoor, you can relax and talk or play board games.   At 7 pm we will have Indian Buffet.  The alfresco dining area which is on a wooden deck and the aircon dinning hall are both very suitable for dancing. You can dance anywhere at any time. You can also do it at the beach but we have to organize sound system outside. You can also pretend to be a teenager on your first date and bring a partner to the bush….there are many dark bushes but tissues are not provided. If you want to sing KOK we have to organize our own portable system because the Restaurant have no KOK licence. We leave the Restaurant at 10pm but you can stay at the beach as long as you like.

Public transport to Palawan Beach is by LRT from VIVO City. It cost $3. Those who drive, pay $7 per car regardless of the number of passengers. The buffet would cost $20 per head.  We will provide tit-bits from the collection of $5 each from those who pay after 31st July.  Those of us who are there in the afternoon should at least buy a drink from the Restaurant to help them pay their staff who would serve you.The restaurant would waive corkage charge for alcoholic drinks we bring. But please don’t bring any other outside food or drinks into their Restaurant.

Dress code will be ‘as little as possible’.  Opportunity for you to show your legs, tummy and butts,  if they are still presentable. I will bring some fig leaves for those who want to be like Adam and Eve.

Now I need the following volunteers

  1. Treasurer to collect the $20 $25 from every participant even if you don’t want to eat the buffet.
  2. Bouncer to throw out those who didn’t pay.
  3. Member registration – Irene Poh has volunteered
  4. Many beach game organizers.
  5. A disco King or Queen to organize the dancing and provide the music CD. They do have a sound system in the Restaurant.
  6. A KOK King/Queen to organize the singing.
  7. And of course, as many ‘gilah’ participants as possible to make it fun.
  8. Also new members, you can come fully clothed to make new friends.
  9. Matchmakers to make sure no one is left alone at this party
  10. Me???…….    I oversee lah.  Girls, remember to wear skimpy clothes, so that I have something to see.

Make your payment to Karen Thio POSB Savings Account number 121-86818-0

Payment before 1st August is $20. From 1st August please pay $25. The last payment accepted is 17th  19th August.

Haikou – 13 to 18 Oct 2010 F&E

Weiwei Members,

Jetstar airticket return to Haikou is about $130 inclusive of 20kg baggage.  M thinking of going there 4 for short holi for relaxing time.  No intention of going towards to places, like Sanya, Xin Long or Dong Hai as been there too many times.  Just will be enjoying the scenic places around in Haikou, massage, reflexology, shopping, etc etc… For these, I think 5-days holi would be just nice lor.. anyone 1 2 come along wif me.

Of cos, for those thinking of going for a longer days to explore further south, you can do so at your own.  I can try to get our Haikou fren to scout a reasonable tour package for you lor..

This post will be closed for further comments.

Cheers…Dolly

Celebrating Singapore’s 2010 National Day

Very soon, we will be celebrating Singapore National Day 2010.  For many of us, we have lived on this island for more than 45 years.  We have grown, and so have our children, siblings, friends and relatives.  As we get older, we develop fond memories of the old Singapore.  We have also learnt to love Singapore.

I have picked an old National Day song and movie clip to show on our website banner, and I hope you enjoy it.  Feel free to say or sing your thoughts on Singapore.

SHC monthly gathering – Tues, Aug 10, 2010 evening

We just had the D&D in July and would have the Beach Party soon at the end of August.  It’s about time, we have the regular monthly gathering at Hans.  For some, the excitement will be just being back from the kelong trip; for others, it will have been the National Day celebrations just over.  And, for others, the fun will be the beach party at Sentosa.

Time to just meet up, chat, plan your activities, pay back the dues from the World Cup, or maybe think about some charity events before the end of the year.  Maybe, how about making some money for retirement or better still do some planning for retirement.  Starting a business, climbing Mount Everest, go to Bandung, ladies chit chat, going up to HK to meet Geraldine, or going to see Ben Foo in Ho Chi Minh city.  Talk about the D&D or talk about the Prom night.  The regular monthly meeting is just a great way to meet.  What shall we do with the used pyjamas?  Aiyah, no end.  Plan and organise your hobbies group; meet and chat.  Now, for the details.

  • Date:  Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010
  • Time:  1600 to 2030 hrs.  Early session for those who are retired; and later session for those still working.
  • Place:  Hans Cafe at Great Eastern Building, Upper Pickering Street.
  • Charges:  Free, you are free to buy your own F&B at the counter.
  • Dress:  anything.

Other Details:

  • Bring your name tag; If you dont have, we will give you a sticky label to place on your dress/shirt.
  • Registration required.  Strictly for SHC members only.  If your SHC member friend is coming, please encourage him/her to register personally with the correct name.
  • Strictly no politics, sex, race, religion, direct selling or MLM.

TOTO AND HORSE RACING SPECULATION

My bold adventure bore fruit in my 2nd attempt when I predicted 3 numbers in Row 3 for the last TOTO draw on 15 July actually came out 3 numbers. Since I did not provide the actual numbers there is no guarantee that you would have won even if you did follow may advice but I believe I shortened the speculative odds in your favour.

Let’s see how I fare in horse racing today with 3 VAL-BETS(value in winning chances with decents odds).

 

They are rACE 4 NUMBER 3 BAY OF ISLAND…Race 7 number 4 EQUIENCE…and Race 9 number 2 VILLIAN.

As a bonus I am throwing in the best forecast for the day in Race 11 even it shall not count in the VAL-BET tally in my adventure in racing Investments. The forecast in Race 11 should be on number 8 with number 2. The names are Maple Star and Grecian Choice . Maple Star is favoured to win the race and Grecian Choice can possibly upset at odds paying  a decent payout

I wonder if I was plain lucky in my TOTO speculation or that is some methdology to my theories…waiting for the knives and guns around the corner. I don’t mind getting hit by super soakers , paint balls or poop gun…let’s discuss.

Can horse racing make money? I will try to buck the trend

I made a tip on a HKG race last week and the horse was not in the top 3. As all of you in SHC know my knowledge of Mandarin is a big fate zero. My copy and paste of my HKG tipster friend shud be authentic as some parts are in Mandarin. Since this is the last day of the HKG season this tip is only for a matter of interest and we will serious R.O.I analysis only for HKG races later in the year. I have had a favourable start with a 1.68 return for my VAL-BETS but the average return is 1.05 to 1.2.

Here is the text from my friend with his R.O.I for his HKG season

Dear friends,
 
This is the last raceday of the season; I would like to thank everyone for their support of sum shui.  Excluding this last raceday, sum shui was given out on 82 Hong Kong racedays.  A 1 point bet on each sum shui will result in a total of 87.25 points, for a return of +7.72%.
 
Sum shui will be back in early September for another season of Hong Kong racing.
 
My sum shui for Wednesday is R6#4 Mr Vigorous ????. In other words he made the equivalent of SG$436.25 from an investment of  SG$410 (not counting the result of today’s races).Please note that his bnets are based on single win bets of HKG$10 and dividends are based on HKG tote. I am tabulating the points based on SG $ equivalent to make it easier to understand. My friend is a pro making a living from investing in horses and he provides one free tip per race day to his mailing list as a means of advertising.
 
Happy Punting,

Decorative Magnets on Refrigerators …are they a health hazard?

Decorative Magnets on Refrigerators


A number of researchers at Princeton’s University have discovered
something scary!.

For several months, they were feeding two groups of mice: the first
group with food kept in a refrigerator, and the second group with food kept in a
refrigerator as well but with several decorative magnets on the door.

The objective of this experiment was to see how electromagnetic
radiation (that coming out from the decorative magnets on the door)
affect food items. Amazingly, rigorous clinical studies stated that
the group of mice that consumed the “radiated” food had as much as 87
% higher probability to get cancer than the other group of mice.

Inexplicably no Governments or health associations/institutions have
given any statement on this regard. However and just in case, is
recommendable  to remove any decorative magnet from  refrigerators,
and put it far away from any food.

Kindly pass this information to your contacts. I guess this is not proven. Any thoughts from any experts out there?

Trading shares – the Abel’s way, Wed 7 July 2010

Talking about buying and selling shares; we all have our own ways to play shares.  There are the brokers and there are the online platforms.  There are charts, and there are gut feels, and there are hear says.

I shall be organising a series for those who are interested in buying and selling shares.  I have met SHCians from different trading companies.  The dates have still to be confirmed.  But, to start with, we have someone Abel Tan, who buys and sells almost daily.  I would classify his style as gambling; and he is not shy about it.

Next week, Wed 7 July, Abel will be at the Brastilava Caffe.  Starts 4.30 pm and ends 6pm.  He will share with us his style of buying and selling shares.  No statistical proofs; And, he stresses its gambling stocks with merely acquired experience.  If you are interested, put your name here to get a seat.

Here’s another dream for next year – a prom night

Some of us do know what is a prom night.  Maybe we dont have prom nights in Singapore.  Most of the time, we hear and see prom night movies from the US and UK.  Remember, Olivia Newton John in Grease?  Remember High School days, end of school term.  Did you come from a co-ed school or all boys or all girls school?  Now, nevermind, if you have not been to one.  So, let’s dream ahead for a new year event.

Well, if we are all over 45 years now, then the popularity of prom nights must be some 30 – 35 years ago.  Gee, wouldnt it be nice if we can have a prom night for SHCians?  I can just imagine the boys would be dressed in striped long sleeves with straps for the pants, in case they drop off.  The hair would be moosed, pointing towards the sky.  The girls would be wearing mini-skirts, 4 inches above the knee.  The hair would be pleated or maybe just pony-tailed.  And, glossy red lip sticks.

Hmm, the idea dreams only.  Ah Ha, entrance tickets would be sold.  Every end-of-term girl or boy would have to sell tickets.  Maybe to raise money for a new school gym.  And if prom nights are what they are supposed to be, the girls have to bring their partners; and the boys have to bring their own partners too.  In the movies, the girls will cry if they cannot find a date.  And, the boys will show off their new dates, if they cannot get the dates they have been wanting to go out with.  Really, cannot come alone.  Tickets are sold in pairs; one printed with a B and the other with a G.

Let me think what kind of songs.  Please help me and everyone to think.  San Francisco, "To sir with Love".  I guess a 70s theme would be exciting.  But, then the songs and music must be danceable.  Not all boys and girls can dance.  For fear of not dancing well or I just dont want to show you how good my dancing is.  Prom nights – a night of rock & roll; and also some waltz.  Guess, enough time for all of us to learn.  12 months to practise.

Food and drinks; I guess we can have plenty of fruit punches.  Still in school, so no alcohol.  Cigarettes, hmm; maybe in the bushes.  Teachers and principals are watching.  Food, aiyah, we may not want to dirty our dresses; so minimal.  But, I think a good dinner spread may also be a good idea.  Well, we have not have a venue in mind; but it could be in the school canteen.

Again, please take this dream in good light.  Yes, we may be SilverHairs, but we can all feel young too.  So, start looking for your date now.  I have no promises that this event will happen.  But if we are to go ahead with this dream, it is very likely I will announce the venue, date and ticket price after the coming D&D.

Look out for movies of prom nights.  And, please share your dreams of a prom night.  (Please do not email me or call me on this event).

I just love this; and I hope you do too.

Terence Seah
