Mary Ho – Profile
Hello all, my name is Mary and I am a new member to the SHC. I came to know of the club through the eNN newsletter and like what I have seen and hence the decision to join the club.
It took me a while to figure out how to post my profile and thanks to Terence and Oi Cheng’s guidance, I hope am successful in this posting. My interests are traveling, nature walks, yoga, swimming, bowling, reading and baking. I am still working full time in a hospitality industry and hope to retire in a few years time!
I look forward to meeting you at one of the club activities in the near distant future.
Cheers,
Mary
Benson Koh at SGH
For members who know Benson Koh, a keen photographer and bowler, I have been told that he is now at SGH (ICU). I don’t have the details, but I have checked with his family member. SHC member Marissa Liem told me he is in a coma, and he has not regained consciousness since the weekend. Marissa visited him this morning, and reported that his condition is not good. Benson mobile is 9842-1204, Marissa is 9658–1338.

Frank Kaw – Profile
Greetings To All SHC Members!
My name is Frank Kaw, a Geminian and new member.
A senior citizen and semi-retired business consultant, I was very much involved in my younger days in turnkey projects such as setting up of pre-schools and English language centres notably in the fast moving market of China and India besides Vietnam and Myanmar, and co-ordinating bilateral trade between East and West with a trading base in Singapore. It was a satisfying and self-fulfilling 30-year trading and consulting career ever undertaken. I shall be pleased to share my business knowledge and experiences with members of SHC.
After completing my hig school education, I took up a temporary teaching position but left the profession after a year of service to join an international European company which offered me further studies and training in business administration/management in England, France and Japan. The vast expertise acquired in a MNC provided me a solid background and base in handling and accompishing all tasks. Being an ex-member of Dale Carnegie’s Public Speaking Institute, and recipient of Queen Elizabeth II Scouting Award also helped in my business dealings and speaking engagements.
A born Methodist, I also helped in restructuring and operating of church and kindergarten’s administration and finance management in Singapore and Malaysia.
Presently, I while away most of my retiring time in a small but cosy European social club in Singapore besides engaging in "pass time" share trading, and enjoying occasional social and business gatherings, and "teh tarik" sessions with friends and business associates. I shall be glad to meet members and participate in similar or other activities at SHC.
Finally, I wish to thank Terence Seah for giving me the opportunity to post my profile in this website, and also Dennis Har for introducing me to SHC, a hub of social and business activities for all interacting seniors with or without silver hairs.
I wish SHC continuous growth and success in the years ahead.

Golf in Perth
Hi All
Today I went to play golf at SupaGolf in Swan Valley using large clubsand had lunch afterwards. Cost of lunch was very reasonable. It was my 1st visit to the place and then we stopped at Margaret River Chocolate Factory to buy fudge, jam and pickles. There’s no need to travel down to Margaret River region to do so.
So those interested in golf, I can help to arrange a game, even coaching with a golf pro, if you wish.
Regards
Joan (Perth)

Meet up at Changi Beach Club, Sun 16 Dec 2007
Usually, I dont spend much time in Singapore. And when I do, I like to find a place to relax. On this coming Sun, 16 Dec 2007, I am planning to go to the Changi Beach Club. It has a nice Olympic size pool, and a great facing to Pulau Ubin. Moons ago, I use to see submarines, with their scopes, swimming left and right below the water. Better still, the CBC members do not come in on a Sunday morning, so it’s quiet and relaxing. We can have a good chat, under the morning sun.
You are invited to come. Just bring your own nasi lemak and coffee. The F&B don’t usually have food so early in the morning. And, they dont usually allow to, so we have to be discreet, no potluck.
If you like to come, just add your name here. Come anytime between 0800 and 1300 hrs. No formalities, just bring your trunks or costumes, googles and suntan lotion. You can take a bus to Changi Village, and have a slow walk in along the boardwalk. Watch out for the dolphins though.

On behalf of Susan Chang, EO for SHC Talent-Time.
Overview of our Talent-Time held on 24 Nov
Firstly, I must apologize for my tardiness in posting this overview of event after 2 days…… Could have been too tired and so need 2 days to recuperate….ha…ha…..nay, just an excuse… that’s all.
Before I go on, let me say a very big "Thank You" to all my working committee, KJ Ronald, the two comperes and our judges for last Saturday’s Talentime held at the Oxford. Hey, you guys were fantastic and a great help ! Without you, the talentime wouldn’t be so successful. I can’t deny that there were little hiccups along the way….. nonetheless, the overwhelming response and fun throughout, was all worthwhile.
For those who have missed the fun, here’s an overview/summary :
We have an overwhelming response of 81 pax registering for this event. Out of that, only 2 did not show up due to personal reason. Thus, we have a 97.5% attendance that night. I must admit all the 16 contestants (7 females & 9 male singers) did their best and performed much better than expected.
Results : 1st runner up : Dan Huang sang "Your Cheating Heart". 2nd runner up was Ronald Wie who gave us a number "Don’t forget to Remember". Caroline Gee who sang "I Only Want To Be With You" was the champion who walked away with 3 prizes. Besides being the best singer, she was also voted the most popular and most comical performer by the audience. Congratulations Caroline. You deserved the winnings !
After the contest, Ronald took in requests from some of them who wanted to sing just for fun. Many were also very sporting when Lily and Ron started their little line-dance jam. Some who are new to line-dance was curious to learn and was following steps instructions from Lily, while others were just enjoying their dance. Eventhough it’s a little disorientated, all were just merely having fun.. Hey, you’ll be surprised that many SHCians were actually young at heart……even though we are known as silverhairs…..he..he..
Next, we have Ron Lai leading us in the "Chicken Dance". As the place cannot accomodate everyone, the group was split into 2 and most did joined in this fun dance. In a way, it helps to warm up everyone as we need the ball rolling for dancing…… and most continued dancing the night away with Ronald’s specially selected music of cha-cha, disco rock, rock & roll and even waltz.
The Talent-time came to a close with Terence giving out the prizes for all the contestants. Everyone of them walk home with something… thanks to all the sponsors.
Lastly, we wish to thank all contestants for their participations and hope to see you again next year. We also wish to thank all those who came for this event….. you make a difference too as without your support and enthusiasm, this Talentime will not turn out to be what it is…..so lively & fun !! We hope to see you guys next year !
The committee wishes everyone happy holidays ahead !!
Cheers,
Susan

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS AWARD
A few of SHC will retire this year . Many will continue to work beyond 62. I spoke to a quite a number of people about retirement and the anwer is always, do what. We equate retirement to work. They must fill the gap between 8-6 pm . They are correct to say ,do what.
Retirement is a REWARD FOR LIFE TIME ACHIEVEMENT. The ah soh will say lee kong see me. OOU sala boh. Others will say a bit gila. still staying in 3 rm flat. No marcedses, no rolleck. Every day work lah . joe beh hoo.beh tahan. Let me list your ACHIEVEMENTS. This achievements is for all regardless whether you stay in hdb, condo or bangalow.
achievments
1 work hard to build a nation
2 work hard to support father,m0ther,brothers ,sisters
3 work hard to support self
4 work hard to start a family
5 work hard to buy a roof
6 work hard to pay bills and more bills
7 work hard to give our children material support
8 work hard to sent children to uni verse citi
9 we save, cut corners,cut costs and sacrifice for the family
10 if no one looking, hatam the overtime. HATAM AND HATAM LAH
Without you and your sacrifices there will be no today. No matter where you came from, all travel the same journey. I have to respect the disavantage who have to travel the long and tortuous road. others travel on highway. I know many who earn very modest income and yet manage to sent their children to university. This is not the time to tell sad story.
It is time we give honour to our SHC who will be retiring this year. A virtual ACHIEVEMENT award IS THE BEST. Achievements are not reserved for the few sucessful people.. As they say, behind every sucessful man is a lady. WEll THE ONE THAT ROCK THE CRADLE RULE THE WORLD.. As parents we give all to help our children,and family members.
I SALUTE YOU. WE HONOUR YOU. SHC SALUTE AND HONOUR YOU.
WHAT SAY YOU BROTHERS?
Do you think SilverHairs in Singapore need jobs?
Immediately after 1997, when Asia was faced with the financial crisis, many people over 45 years were concerned with jobs.
But, nowadays, it seems that there is lesser concern for jobs for SilverHairs over 45. Maybe we don’t have many job offers in recent months, but from response to the Blue Helmet project, and job topics, the response is cool. In my discussions with some SHC members, we are now wondering if we should make jobs as one of our focus.
On the other hand, there appears to be more interests in small business and online trading.
Can you share your thoughts, and what you think, so that we can all get a good feel of what is happening? Every comment is a personal viewpoint. There is no bad view point. So, let’s respect each others opinion.
I look forward to hear from as many members as possible.
Terence Seah
SHC own sms server
We are in the process of launching our own sms server. The SMS number will be published soon.
With the sms server, members can send and receive information interactively via their mobile telephone. Only members, whose mobile telephone numbers are registered with the club, can use this service. Non-registered mobile numbers will not be recognised by the sms server.
We hope that with this new service, more members can easily participate in club ativities. Today, most SilverHairs carry a mobile telephone. The service will be available 24 hours.
More information will be available at a later date. Estimated date of launch: Jan 2008.

Getaway to Perth
Hi All SHC members
I live in Perth and travel back to Singapore at least once a year. I will be in Singapore again in April next year. I am happy to know some of you whom I met with during my trips back.
I am interested in exploring the regions around Perth eg Margaret River, Albany, New Norcia, Kalbarri to do farmstays, fishing, golfing, visiting wineries, etc. I am wondering if there are some of you who are interested in doing self-drives in Australia mainly around Western Australia. If so, perhaps we can travel together or form a sort of convoy to explore places or do things.
Perhaps Mary who also lives in Perth may join in and help to arrange the activities.
Regards
Joan (from Perth)

Roland HH Tong – Profile
Hi! I’m Roland and though I joined the SHC in 2005, I’ve not been able to participate in the activities due to clashes with my numerous other activities. However, last month I joined the "Dance Group" thinking that it was a social activity but to my surprise it turned out to be "a social dance course"! Anyway, the group of people were so pleasant and friendly that I decided to join them and even enrol a new member as well!
My resume! I’m a retired school teacher, old in age but still "young at heart"! I’m gregarious by nature and enjoy all kinds of outdoor and indoor activities. I play tennis, table tennis, badminton, billiard, (hockey, basketball and soccer in my younger days), chess, scrabble, etc. My hobbies are photography, philately and numismatics. However, tennis is my forte as I’ve represented both Malaysia and Singapore although I played State Soccer as a school boy. I love dancing although my bones are now beginning to "creak"! I had to learn dancing while studying in UK during the "ragging period" and went often to the Ballrooms there.
I’m currently busy with part-time tuition in Maths and Science to keep my brains working and to earn some income to maintain my car (It’s NOT easy maintaining a car in Singapore!)
SHC Dinner & Dance – March 2008
We will be having a Dinner & Dance next year 2008.
Caroline Gee has volunteered to be the Event Organiser for our Dinner & Dance 2008. She will be setting up a committee, after the Nov 2007 Talent-Time.
The committee will be reviewing the venue, F&B, program, cost, etc. Tentatively, the date has been set for Sat, 22 Mar 2008. Please put this into your diary. We can be sure Caroline will give us loads of fun.

Would you like to be a SHC Online meeting moderator?
Some of us may be familiar with webchats. SilverHairsClub has its own "SHC Online", and it’s strictly for members only. From the October usage trend, members logged in between 9am and 10 am, & between 12.30pm and 1.30pm.
Before starting the SHC online, we would like two to three members, preferably those who have retired, to serve as meeting moderators. Some training is required though. If you have time, and would like to learn how to be a meeting moderator in an online forum, please let me know. For an idea of what is needed.
Ideally, you need to love meeting and corresponding with other SilverHairs in realtime. Able to smile and have fun online. Can take all kinds of nonsense, without having to drink cold water. Some patience. Preferably, typing skills of 5 words a minute, some basic knowledge of powerpoint (although not necessary), and some fiddling with the PC. If you are smart, one lesson. If you are fast, two lessons. And, if you are keen, three lessons. Read what is needed; and if you are interested to be an online meeting moderator, we can start, even without getting to meet one another. Something adverturous. Yeah.

If you have some unwanted toys, I would love to have them
I am going up to Mae Hong Son, highest and most northern part of Thailand from 23 – 28 Dec 2007. Along the way, I would be visiting villages, farms and hilltribes.
And, I hope to give away used toys to the children during the year-end festive period and Christmas season. Many of these kids have never had the chance to have a toy. I hope some of these kids will have something to cheer, as we cross 2007.
If you have any unwanted toys in your house, and you like to give it away, please do donate it to me. I am going to the Pot-luck this Saturday and the Talent-time on the 24 Nov, and if you are coming, I would ask if you bring the toys along. Sorry, wont be able to carry large heavy toys, as the airlines just charge too much for overweight luggage. Thank you.

Reading Circle
I enjoy reading and am keen to ‘swop’ books or exchange recommendations on books. If you are an avid reader, we could do that or even get together and talk about any book that we have read. At the moment, my interests are more on biographies, autobiographies and real life personal experiences although I read all sorts.
I have just finished "A Round-Heeled Woman" and "Unaccompanied Women" , both by Jane Jushka. They are very good reads and surprisingly, were recommended by a man. Another good book is "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell, which I have yet to finish.
Come and join me and chat about our books :-)

Looking for a good home for a husky
Hi all,
A relative is looking for a good home for his beloved 5-year old Siberian husky as his flat is getting too small for this big dog. Details of the dog:
His name is Ash, a dominant male. He is beige in colour and is sterilised. His weight is 34 kg and he was imported from Melbourne.
If you are interested to care for this beautiful animal, I’ll put you in touch with my relative.
Regards,
Jassmine
