Tours and makan alert by members and non-members

The Club encourages members to organise and EO these trips. These trips do require deposits payable by members in advance and then payable to the travel agent.

There may be reasons and things do go wrong. The EO may cancel the trip, change the travel agent and fail to pay the travel agent.

Members are then confused as to what has happened with their monies and what to do next.

Then, starts the blame game. Members like to travel in groups.

I encourage members to

1. Pay deposits direct to the travel agent. It is your risk if you pay to any another other persons.

2. Get a receipt for the deposit, especially big amounts.

3. Be sure u know the travel agent or the transport company.

4. Some organisers are SHC members but some are not members or have exited the Club. Pls check before joining their tours

5. Bad incidents have recently.

This is an alert. This is your choice.

Surviving SpinalAVM in Singapore!

Growing up in sunny Singapore in the Katong School by the Sea, I’m a free-spirited Patrician born in the post independence era. Life’s been pretty good to me despite the usual twists & turns for most part in the first 54 years of my existence.

After returning from Cambodia, my last teaching stint in SCIA as a pioneering Gr 1-9 faculty, I started experiencing difficulty in my bladder & bowel; & walking became a laborious task even as I strive to work in HopeHouse with the De Lasalle Brothers of St Patrick’s Community where I was nurtured.

It was a scary, dark phase and it did occur to me to make my alma mater my resting ground. Yet the love for my family & friends kept me going. In early Feb 2020, I lost all confidence in walking safely and sought out my eldest to bring me for a lumbar x-ray ordered by my endocrinologist.

I am fortunate he was in office early and I got to see him. Thus began my metamorphosis into a SpinalAVM Warrior @55, joining a 1% in the world with this very rare genetic and crippling condition.

A battery of major medical tests culminated in a T4-7 opened surgery to dissect 3 AVMs out. Took 20 months of physiotherapy amidst channeling on the Healthcare Conveyor belt of SGH (5weeks), OCH (5weeks) & a Chinatown Care Home (2.5 years) before I was discharged in untidy manner home with my walker, wheelies and my scooter!

It was a major psychological, physical & financial battle (on-going), to reintegrate back into the Land of the Living, after a 3 year absence from family, Church and society in Kg Glam where we’ve resided for 33 years!

Sheer grit, silent contemplations & patient love became my mainstay even as I continue to be stronger & better with the help of pain meds, mindfulness methods, acupuncture, continued rehab twice weekly and even weekly chiropractic treatment session, managing family, mobility, bladder & bowel as well as chronic fibromyalgia issues.

The alternative option would have been an easy return to a nursing home, have assisted living and fade away. Such is not for me! I have much to do, to surmount the living environment for wheelies, to regain respect & dignity even as a PwD and live life meaningfully with dreams of travel, a SpinalAVM Foundation to assist fellow warriors & their families to alleviate life’s pains a little and live to a 100! I’m on my way!

Bangkok Trip 26 – 29 March 2023

Updates!!!
Hotel chosen : Ibis Bangkok Siam
Flight Details
26/03 SIN – BKK Scoot608 Depart 0700 Arriving 0830
29/03 BKK – SIN Scoot605 Depart 1455 Arriving 1820

Cost (Flight & Hotel) : $372.15/pax 
a) Based on twin sharing @ Ibis Hotel.  For 1 single, the cost is estimated at $496/pax.
b) Handcarry bag (7kg) only
c) 15kg Baggage, extra charge of $54 for both ways
d) Departing on the next morning timing, will be incurring another $17 extra/pax
e) You will need to get travel insurance individually which we can map out later

Both Pattiya and I are planning a F&E Bangkok Trip from March 26 – 29 2023. This trip will be done solely on own timing/agenda as well as going thru obstacles with public transport – BTS and MRT, buses and others.

Maximum to go : 16 fully paid members (inclusive of Pattiya and myself), we still go ahead even we dont have 16 members.

POIs intended to adventure are as follows:

  1. Iconsiam- White Orchard River Cruise – Dinner Cruise
  2. Leng Saap Restaurant – Strongly recommended by Pattiya for their speciality – Pork Ribs
  3. Maeklong Railway Market (hope tht I got this place right) – interesting place whereby both train and market peddlars are using the same location giving way to each other whenever needed.  A POI that definitely a go.
  4. As for night market, as there are too many locations these days so we will choose 1 once we confirmed the hotel that we intended to stay
  5. Not forgetting spa and massages to look out for too.
  6. For those interested for shopping – maybe can try if 1 can get Korean Hanbo for the coming SHC D&D – Good suggestions right…
  7. For those keen of cafe hunting for coffees and cakes, there will be no short of these too.
  8. Last but not least, night spots to enjoy before we headed home

For 4D/3N, the above POIs will keep us very busy, I am sure.

I will be checking on the airfare/hotel packages thru travel agent first as the last check for online booking for both airfare/hotels will be around $330/pax based on the twin sharing.  My personal preference will be if Travel Agent’s quote is only less more that $50+, we will go for travel agent’s arrangement.  Of course, I am not stopping those to go direct to book online but on 1 clause, try to get the same hotel to save time

I would also like to advise for those going for this trip that have not taken 4th jab, to go for flu jab for protection.

Members going:
1) Pattiya
2) Dolly Lim
3) Alan Ang
4) Cheng WK
5) Terry Chun
6) Lim HP
7) Lawrence
CLOSED…

Do zoom in and join me on Wed, 23rd, 8pm sharp.

Travelling experience with seniors

A top activity among seniors is travelling. Many of us love to go JB, further to China, and further still on a cruise from HK. Of course, it costs money, but for many we want to see the world at 60, 65 and 70.

Many seniors prefer to go with a friend or a group. So, we join a group, but sometimes, our travel partners become enemies. And the rest of the trip becomes sour, and we never want to see the other person again. Why?

Teenagers, young adults handle social communication better. But seniors and retirees fare badly on many issues when travelling together, despite a good 50 to 60 years living experience on earth.

“I just can’t stand why she spends such a long time making up in the toilet”.

“This lady is a bitch, real bloody bitch. I will never go out with her again.”

“Who does she think she is? She thinks she is still young. I don’t want to be associated with such people”.

“This guy is very stingy. He waits and waits and won’t offer to buy you a drink. So kiam siap. I can pay myself. No need him to pay for me”.

How do we go out travelling together and still come back as friends? Better still as closer friends. Are we the perfect travelling friend?

Let’s chat without hinting at who’s the person. Let’s discuss how we can be better travelling companies.

Living out the last active chapter of life.

We retired from our active employment many years ago, more than 10 years ago. We decided to enjoy through travelling after joining SHC around 2013, meeting Terence and in some ways, inspired by him. We noticed SHC members travelled widely and in short notice. Soon we came up with a 26 days free and easy tour of France, Spain and Portugal. Terrence was supportive and encouraged us to blog as we moved along. We agreed but never materialised. We quietly left and returned. We were unsure if we could get along well in such long trips. Since then we thought we have travelled quite widely, but a recent chat with a SHC lady proved otherwise. Our group, since 2013 have travelled, to name a few,

1. France, Spain and Portugal, Britain       – 52 days
2. Turkey, Greece, Italy……                        – 42 days
3. Bali, Surabaya, ……………                     – 21 days
4. Thailand, Laos, Yunnan ….                    –
5. A long list to bore you …. Shy to mention, because not well presented but anyone keen to know and see some of the places we have visited is welcome to our site at http://traveloffthebeatentracks.com/

And why all these intro here???

Simply and short……My friends and I are going on a short trip to Myanmar from 8th January to 17th January 2019. We feel that it might be nice to have more to join.

We are going by Jetstar flight 3K581 and back by flight 3K582. We have purchased our return air ticket at S$111.

This post is to invite our SHC members to join in.

When we travel we mostly have a room to ourselves unless we cannot secure 4 rooms in the hotel. We have booked our Yangon hotels for the first few days. 

Yours in SHC

“One night in Batam” 2D 1N Sat 30 Jun – 1 Jul 2018


SilverHairsClub and members have organised a series of “One night Dinner and Dancing” with themes set in Taipei, Shanghai and JB. These activities help support a platform for members to get to know more and new friends.

This year, we had planned to hold our Dinner and Dance with the theme “One night in Batam”. We are able to create this event when Christine Teo, a keen dancer, volunteered to co-EO the dancing night, together with two days of sightseeing, lunches, shopping and a dinner at the M1 Hotel.

We will theme our event with Batam Indonesian culture and tradition. Members are encouraged to attire Indonesian style. Your room is just a lift away.

There are plans for music for dancing from disk/USB. We have a VJ in place, not karaoke or live singing.

A team of members BobbyB, ChristineP, DaisyY, YeoES, StellaS joined a recce event on Sun 10 Jun. We review the 10th floor of M1 hotel, surrounded by glass top to bottom, with a breezy view of the nearby area. This venue is bare, and will be redeveloped into a roof top restaurant in July. Christine has arranged for some seating out the glass walls so that a few of us can enjoy some moments of quiet, during dancing and dinner time.

The rooms are new and well set with clean bright bathrooms. The recce group love the M1 hotel.

Venue: M1 Hotel.
Dinner and dance venue: M1 hotel 10 floor
