A Potluck in the brewing, on Sat 27 October 2007

There is likely going to be a Potluck session coming up in October.  Likely to be Saturday, 27  October 2007.  The Event Organiser is currently surveying the place.  I suspect he is having a headache, thinking about how he can make this event fun and exciting to SilverHairsClub members.  No other information, except please keep this date in your diary, until the Event Organiser has come up with his plans.  Location will likely be Pasir Ris Park, near Pasir Ris MRT.

This date has been postponed.  The Event Organiser will make an announcement soon.

Do you know of a house/condo for rent?

If you know of a place for rent, not for a few days, but from 1 month to 1 year to a few years, please let us know here.  I shall get someone to organise this availability to members. 

The place can be a house, condo or a townhouse.  Location can be Singapore, China, Philippines, India, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos or Indonesia.

Get one digital picture of the place, the street name (exact address not required), city, number of rooms, no. of bathrooms, dates availability, TV, internet, proximity to hospitals, markets and department stores, contact email address, mobile tel (optional), distance from airport and interesting sites and places of interests around the place, and finally the rate on a per week or per month basis.  Dont worry if the place is on the tree top, somewhere up in the mountains, on some rice fields, remote beaches or right in the middle of the city. Once you have the above details, you may email me all the above, at one time please.

Compilation will be done on the internet (www.2GreenDots.com).  Responses will go directly to you, via your mobile number or email address given.  When we reach approx 50 locations, we shall invite one or two members to manage this project professionally. 

Hopefully, this will be another way of getting short-term retirement living or holidays started.  This idea came about from yesterday’s monthly gathering.  Have fun.  Let’s get started.

Pictures of 18 Sept 2007 SHC monthl gathering

The Sept gathering was just over.  Held at the Hans Cafe @ Great Eastern, this monthly gathering was divided into two groups.  The first – for the Retired SilverHairs, and the second – for the still working SilverHairs.  In some cases, we were not able to tell who’s retired and who’s still working. 

The late afternoon to early evening sessions were very enjoyable, and many SilverHairs get to meet the people whom they have read about on the SHC forum, but not met earlier.

Here are the pictures, for your review.  Click here.

The Ghost Story – “Ending Wanted”

Yesterday (Saturday), I had a meeting with friends. In the meeting, one friend from Hong Kong (came to visit us) played a game with us. The game is that he told us a story, but with no ending. Then every one creates our own endings for the story. The ending must change the story into a ghost story. Quite interesting and would like to share with friends in SHC

The Story part is:

The time was approaching 4:30 am. An exhausted taxi driver was driving his taxi toward a cemetery. It seemed he was rushing home.

Suddenly, he saw a person dressed in long white waving on him. The face of the taxi driver started to turn a little bit green. He drove near the person and found that it was a girl with long hair. The hair was so long that her face couldn’t be seen clearly.

When the taxi driver stopped the car, before he had time to respond, the girl opened the door and jump into the back of the taxi. The girl sat there, lower down her head and kept quiet. Time stood still for a couple of minutes, the taxi driver seemed to have make up his mind and asked: “lady, where are you going, I’m going to send my cab to the next shift, some place I cannot take you”.

The girl raised her head slowly. She is a very beautiful girl but with a very pale face and bloodshot eyes. She told the driver: “Don’t worry, just drive around this cemetery until I tell you to stop”. Upon hearing this, the face of the driver turned greener.

The driver drove round and round the cemetery. The girl sat there silently. After a few rounds, the driver seemed have lost his patience and ask: “Lady, why you take a cab to go round the cemetery at this moment?”

The girl stopped for a while and started telling the driver her story – exactly a year ago, she and her boyfriend had been to clubbing. After that, they wanted more excitement and rent a taxi to go round the cemetery. When they doing so, an unexpected heart attack took her boyfriend’s life. She came here tonight to relive that moment, so as to commemorate his boyfriend’s death. ——- The story part ended here

The ending part is started as: “At this time, a cock crowing from the cemetery pierce through the silence in the air”  —- to be continued.

The story must be a real ghost story, the word count should be within 100 words, the shorter the better (Does this look like a composition homework?)

If you like to try, welcome. I should be fun. I’ll tell you the ending from me on the coming Wednesday.

A new category “Reflections”

A new category "Reflections" has just been created.  It’s about anything you feel like saying, and you want other SilverHairs to hear of.  Maybe you just woke up from bed, or during a lazy Sat/Sun doing nothing, and something strikes you and you feel you just have to share it with others, before you forgot what it was all about.

Maybe, you feel like eating a horse.  Maybe you decide that this is it, and you want to climb Mount Everest.   Maybe you just crazy over someone, and you just want to tell him "How about dinner?".  Perhaps you have a great home entertainment set, and you want 5 persons to join you, why not?  Go ahead.  You could be thinking of so many things, and nothing has happened so far, you want to share it with other SilverHairsClub members, just do it.  For jokes and stories, please use the Page "Non-SHC stories, jokes, info, etc.".

So, say it, and you can say it anytime now or later.  The administrator will not censor it, as long as club taboos are followed.  For this Post, the administrator is nasty, so no comments.  Just start your own Post. Have fun.

A lovely day it was, Mr. Sun, we did not see; umbrellas did not appear!

I wish to acknowledge the ‘Spirit’ and extend sincere thanks to:

PhilipW: more than once, assumed the photographer’s role without question.

SHCIC – The Investment Club

The time line is imminent. Here’s an update and an explanation of what to expect. Most important how to best use the club to create the investment opportunity and to create the elusive passive stream of income.

It requires some commitment and effort from you to make it worthwhile. Trading is like running a business. You take risks for returns. There is no magic formulae. Practise makes perfect. The more you apply yourself intelligently to trading the better you will become.

Good-luck

 

A Merry Heart doeth good like a medicine.

Yes, laughter is the best medicine.  I am amaze at the thought of how the human being is form.  It says that the Great Manufacturer have a great sense of humour.  Why is it that our nose is right on top on our face and not form near our buttock.

 Anyway, we are always attracted to a person who have a sense of humour.  A word of encouragement could lift up a sad countenance and give hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

So, if you have a good joke or an encouragement or enlightenment share with us. Never know you may lift up  a depressed soul!emoticon

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Happiness is…emoticon

Researchers have found some underlying factors for happiness :-

>Married people are more content than singles, but having children does not raise happiness level.

>Education and IQ seem to have little impact on happiness.

>Attractive people are only slightly happier than the unattractive.

>The elderly (over 65) are more satisfied with their lives than the young.

>Friendships are crucial if you want to be happy.

>As much as 50% of the happiness factor is genetic.

RIP – The final nail

CPF is moving beyond the grave. Withdrawals are locked up in compulsory annuity. Work till you die for funds you are unlikely ever to see. Sell back the balance of your property to support the lifestyle that you deserve provided they gave you back your own money.

At least, we have eliminated sickness. If you are ill, you can’t afford to live for long. It is a convergent and self-terminating problem. You converge to the after-life in a zero sum game.

Leave nothing behind. You’ll likely go as you came. Naked to the butt. Shafted but not bowed.

What to do?

Calling All SHC Members living in Pasir Ris, Tampines n Simei

Hi Everyone,

Please come forward and let’s form a group where we can have  a.m./p.m. coffee chit-chat or beer drinking or cycling/walking at Pasir Ris Park.

We can go fishing at Pasir Ris Fishing Pond. We can also organise other activities together.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers

Dennis

Die also cannot

First cannot drawdown CPF early. Next, no subsidy to die at home. So how?

"Mr Khaw wants to survey Singaporeans on their preferences so that his Ministry can accommodate the last wishes of the terminally ill."

Please don’t take too long. We can’t die on cue. Hope that this heavy sell is not just a new trick to clear beds at  hospices. Keep our CPF, increase estate duty and screw the dead.

Pava Roti

This is my suggestion for Shirley’s latest creation in her  Hotdog Wagon @ Hougang. A fitting mouthful to commemorate the passing of one of the most popular tenor of our times.

"No one will sleep" until victory!

His "Nessun dorma" is my favorite piece to calm the nerves when market goes badly for me in the night before.  The trailing strains in the dead of the night promises hope at the break of dawn.

http://www.videocaffe.com/video/DkwrTsAZ6Eg/Pavarotti-sings–

All’alba Vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!

Vanish, O night! Set, stars! Set, stars!

At dawn, I will win!

I will win! I will win!

Reflections

 This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York        
 Hospital.                                                                 
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                 SLOW DANCE                                
                                                                           
                                                                      
                         Have you ever watched kids                        
                                                                           
                            On a merry-go-round?                           
                                                                           
                          Or listened to the rain                          
                                                                           
                          Slapping on the ground?                          
                                                                           
                Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
                
                 Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?                
                                                                           
                           You better slow down.                           
                                                                           
                            Don’t dance so fast.                           
                                                                           
                               Time is short.                              
                                                                           
                           The music won’t last.                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                        Do you run through each day                        
                                                                           
                                On the fly?                                
                                                                           
                         When you ask How are you?                         
                                                                           
                           Do you hear the reply?                          
                                                                           
                            When the day is done                           
                                     !                                     
                                                                           
                           Do you lie in your bed                          
                                                                           
                        With the next hundred chores                       
                                                                           
                         Running through your head?                        
                                                                           
                           You’d better slow down                          
                                                                           
                            Don’t dance so fast.                           
                                                                           
                               Time is short.                              
                                                                           
                           The music won’t last.                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                           Ever told your child,                           
                                                                           
                           We’ll do it tomorrow?                           
                                                                           
                             And in your haste,                            
                                                                           
                            Not see his sorrow?                            
                                                                           
                              Ever lost touch,                             
                                                                           
                         Let a good friendship die                         
                                                                           
                          Cause you never had time                         
                                                                           
                            To call and say,"Hi"                           
                                                                           
                          You’d better slow down.                          
                                                                           
                            Don’t dance so fast.                           
                                                                           
                               Time is short.                              
                                                                           
                           The music won’t last.                           
                                                                           
                   When you run so fast to get somewhere                   
                                                                           
                  You miss half the fun of getting there.                  
                                                                           
                 When you worry and hurry through your day,                
                                                                           
                      It is like an unopened gift….                      
                                                                           
                                Thrown away.                               
                                                                           
                            Life is not a race.

East Coast, East Coast, calling all SilverHairs in this residential area

Rene, Norlinda and Caroline live on the East Coast.  They are eager to know more SilverHairs living in this residential area.  Come and join them.  I shall let them introduce the East Coast to you.  Share with us your knowledge about the East coast.  Form your own group.  Any body know how many SilverHairs live here?

On behalf of Rene, Norlinda and Caroline.

Calling all Clementians. This is my residential area

Let’s start with another residential area.  Steven Chan, Jane Yeo and Michelle are from the Clementi residential area.  Steven loves to bring his dog for walks at the East Coast.  Michelle is eager to keep her legs dancing. 

If you live in Clementi, go ahead and join Steven and Michelle.  There is Jane Yeo, too.  What’s the excitement at Clementi?  Are there many SilverHairs in Clementi?

Green and Grin

(We have Suzhang to thank for this post. This follows from my  reply to one of her comments.)

Can we be a green  farmer in Singapore? Tell us about your experience in agriculture, horticulture, growing things or simply potting around.

Tell us about about your experiments with ecological and environmental friendly technologies and self-sustaining biospheres. This could be energy (eg solar power or getting your mother-in-law to pedal the power cycle saying its good for her health) and water (collecting rain water to recycle to toilet flush, washing and watering plants.)   

Actually a modern farmer is a beautiful retirement model. Think of the real estate potential!
