Calling all members residing in the central area of Singapore. Perhaps we could also have our very own group.
Hi All
Just got back from Singapore. Met with a few SHCs to talk about wildflower tours and retirement in general. Am making a 3 day self-drive trip and hope to see some wildflowers and do a spot of fishing up north of Perth.
Perhaps some of you may wish to visit Perth and do some things here. Let me know if you need some assistance.
Regards to all
Joan
We are drawing up the program for 2008 with the following walking sites under consideration.
All our scheduled walks will be led by two leaders, one in front of the walking group and the other behind. The first will lead the group and sets the walking pace, halt at photograph & rest stations and the other at the rear will ensure the group moves as one especially when the group exceeds twenty persons. Usually, the walks end at a refreshment or food centre.
Currrently there are only three of us, myself, Christina & Vernonica who lead the walks. However, there are times when some of us are away or have urgent matters to attend to. To enable us carry out the scheduled walks , which is always on the 2nd saturday of each month and without interruption we need more volunteers.
So, …. . fellow SHC, especially those who have been walking regularly with us, please come forward and put your name down. thanks
Charles,Christina, Veronica

Mahalo Everybody,
I love the sea, the beach, the sun, the surf, the breeze and most of all, the sport activities related to them. However, like some others , I am too old to be engaged in these physically demanding activities. I love exotic places like Hawaii or any other look a likes. Beautiful clear blue skies and surf boards catching the wind. Romantic nights with caressing melodious Hawaiian music and camp fires on the beach. But then, Hawaii or Tahiti is so far away! Koh Samui is a good second choice, but “tourist” spoilt!
On my usual morning walkabouts, I chanced upon this ski club along the EC park. Looks like an ideal place to do a mini Hawaii but the proprietor is more concern with his Chinese restaurant operations. Next, chatted with the Chinese swimming club along Amber road. Unfortunately, their function rooms looked like they need a revamp very badly! Finally, went to have a look see at the Raffles Town Club. Their function rooms looked a little too posh for comfort. Black tie affairs are fine but not too conducive for a Hawaiian scene.
So, my dear SHC friends, I am really in a limbo. How to bring Hawaii,its music and romance to you?
If you have some ideas or have a local venue worth due consideration, do write.
Aloha!
Wow! I’m overwhelmed by the responses! I’ve been rollerblading since the 80s. I ice-skated too when Fuji Ice Palace was around then. I don’t ice-skate anymore since it takes more time to get to the location, and more gear to lug around.
I don’t mind to teach you all some basics, like walking on blades, simple gliding, stopping, falling properly. I don’t need to go all the way to the NS Resort as long as I do some distance workout, back and forth, in betw coaching. The rest of you who wish to learn will need to be practising the basics while I’m working out. I believe that’ll work out just fine. Pls use guards; I guarantee you will need to fall to learn anything, but as long as you’re ‘covered’, you’ll do fine.
I’m assuming everyone is ok for Sunday, 9 am is about ok for me. Meeting place can be anywhere, but I usually park my bike either in betw the chalets and the pond or the bike stands at the Food Ctr. My mobile: 9-489-3778 (Hannah Chiang). I use a visor to ward off as much pigmentation as possible. I also listen to classical music or 90.5fm and take extra pre-caution when around kids on wheels; these kids have quick reflexes not based on response to danger but on a whim!
I finish around 12:30. We could have a bite or drinks at the Food Ctr before we head home. How’s this sound to you?

I have been a golf player since 1990. My swings can be soso or bad, depending on whether I have a couple of beers with me. Used to play at least twice a week. But, really, can’t seem to find enough time nowadays.
In the last few years, I prefer to play during competitions, and usually, I land up being the last or second last. But, not shy, I continue to enjoy the game. It’s fun and relaxing. Golf is not cheap; and it’s time-consuming for some. But, the game is healthy, considering the walk and the body swings. For many, golf is good exercise for the body, and good for friendship. Maybe good for retirees too.
We have some good golfers in the SilverHairsClub. And, of course, we have some, who likes to try a hand at it. There are interests to play in Malaysia, and there are in interests to go to the driving range.
We can start a Golf Kakis list here. Newbies and amateurs, feel free to put your name here. And, if you have a spare or unwanted golf set, hiding somewhere in your home or office, you can offer it here too. Someone may want it. Even, the odd iron 5, or 5 wood or the single putter.
So, let’s proceed with the list first. Calling all Golf Kakis….

Hi Fishing Kakis,
Anyone keen to go fishing during the day? I would like to try out some places and wondering if anyone who is available during the day to join me……..:)
Enjoy!!
Dan the fisherman
Here’s the report on our 1st overnight gathering : 
On 07.07.07 – forty SHC members met early at HarbourFront for the first SHC overnight gathering in Batam. Despite heavy rain that morning, most were there on time except for one who almost missed departing with us. 
On arrival at Batam, we boarded an aircon coach and together with the local guide as well as the Singapore guide, we set out for the sight-seeing tour. As the local guide only spoke Chinese, there were complaints from a SHC member. The matter was resolved after Lily told the Singaporean guide to take over.
Due to the rain, the first stop at Waterfront, an amusement park with water activities such as water-skiing, para-sailing, etc., was changed to a ‘drive-through’ only. The rest of the sight-seeing followed as according to the programme which included a delicious seafood lunch at a kelong style restaurant.
At our last shopping stop, Batam’s biggest and latest shopping mall, some 18 SHC members opted to go for massage instead. So, the group split up and at the appointed time and place, we met up again for the final journey to Sijori Hotel. From the comments by some SHC members, the massage experience was a lousy one. One lady member even came out bruised.
At Sijori Hotel, we had a simple dinner after check-in. Members had a chance to freshen up before meeting up again at the KTV lounge for karaoke session and some dancing. There were complaints about the food, the small portion of it, and the small size of their ‘villa’. (It was the same person who complained about the Chinese speaking guide.)
When the singing and dancing session was over, the organiser led some members to a midnight swim. Only the men were swimming. The women hung around the poolside talking and taking pictures of the ‘hunks’. Their excuses….?…. "Don’t want to get my hair wet lah, make-up ruin, blah blah blah……." 
Later in the night …..uhmm….. I mean, in the morning ….., we had our ‘open-house casino’ at the ‘boys’ villa. Mahjong and black-jack sessions were on at the same time until members dropped off to sleep 1-by-1. After breakfast, our ‘casino’ resumed, with more players, till check-out time. We arrived back in Singapore at 4.30pm.
The event organisers hope that everyone have at least enjoyed the trip a little, and apologise to those, whose expectations we did not meet. We also take this opportunity to thank eveyone for their co-operation and spontaneity in making this event a fun one. 
Thank you everyone,
and thanks to Yew Kwong and Terence, here are photos for your viewing :

Event Organisers (Terence & Lily)
This is just the beginning. Nobody has step forward to say he/she is going fishing. But, never mind, let’s have a show of hands. How many of you are interested in going fishing? I mean catching fish in a pond, near the shore or deep sea.
Please raise your hands. We should compile a list first. Leaders or diehard fisherman, watch this list, and do volunteer to organise something for the group.
Daniel Kang (Event Organiser)
Hi
Is anyone keen to join me on a tour to see wildflowers down in Western Australia? I’m particularly interested in a).
These wildflower tours can range from:a) a day tour on 18 Sep that costs AUD 55 per person b) 3D/2N from 7 – 9 Sep for AUD 588 pp or c) 4D/3N from 13-16 Sep for AUD 786. These are conducted by a local tour agency. I have joined a day crayfish tour a few months back and thoroughly enjoyed it and felt that it was good value for money.
You can also opt to do other things while you are in Perth either, free and easy on your own or with some help from me to arrange some activities for you. For those who think the b) and c) I’m also thinking of arranging one self-drive tour to save some costs. Let me know directly if you wish to join in.

Dear SHC Members,
I feel honored to be given this task of organizing SHC the concert. All this while, I have been toying with the idea of a big bang showcase of talents from within SHC and also the hiring of a large auditorium etc. It was just awhile ago that a little “tweety bird” flew by and whispered that we could start off first with mini concerts at old folk Homes. Thanks, little birdie!! The task suddenly became easier to fulfill!!
With this in mind, I am redressing my outlook and am now embarking on looking for artiste/s within our midst who would like to volunteer their time and services to come and start the ball rolling.
For ease of stage presentation, I would like to name this sub-group as… SHC Music & Dance Troupe. Sounds a little old, never mind lets just move along and see what happens next. Right now, the priority is to round up as many interested members as possible and we shall see how we could program an exciting showcase with whatever we have….mini bang!!
1. Dancers. I need all types, give me your names. Tell me what steps you know. E.g. Tango, Rhumba, Cha Cha, Fox etc. Do you have a partner for serious ball room dancing demonstrations or do you Line Dancing only…if so, can you do simple choreography? Square Dance/Country Style? Hawaiian Hula? Tell me more.

For the interim, I would like to have Ron(Allrounder) and Clara as my firm left and right hand front line buddies for this entire exercise. However, should they decide to abandon me, for some reasons or other. I will bear no grudges but will not accept it till a blue moon appears!
So let’s go, drop me a note on this thread, I will be happy to hear from you, Cheers!

Here are the pictures of the SilverHairsClub April gathering at the Botanic gardens, organised by Oi Cheng. Click here.
For pictures of the cycling, organised by Yew Kwong. Click here.
Thanks to the sunshine, I hope that all who turned up had a good time. There were altogether 40 of us. I had said a mini potluck but most of you were naughty and made it into a MAXI potluck that no dinner was needed at the end of the show.
Ron Lai had a suggestion that we have a little SHC flag or banner that we could use at activities outdoor so that we could be found easily especially by the newbies. I agreed and had also thought of using a placard, but somehow slipped my mind on the day. Perhaps whoever is the event organiser at an outdoor activity can consider this proposal.I want to thank Lily Yen for helping me with the registration, Kenneth for being there early to reserve the nice spot away from the sun, Pheng Sok, Kristy, Peggy, Clara for helping with the litter and everyone else for their help in one way or the other. Thank you Terence for this opportunity to do something I have never done before. I enjoyed every moment of it. Most of all thanks to all of you who were there for without you this event would not be.
To see the pictures, click here.
This is the first outdoor monthly gathering and I hope you guys can bring along your mats and come down to meet up with the others and then sit back to enjoy the music by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.
As the afternoon may be hot so dress cool and do remember your umbrella, sunshades and very important water.
I have mentioned mini potluck as it would be easier to bring snacks, sandwiches, puffs, titbits, crackers, chips, fruits, jelly, whatever that is light and convenient. Bring just enough to share with two or three persons as we can have dinner after the show. The Taman Serasi Food Garden would be a good choice and there is variety and everyone can choose whatever they want. It is situated near the Tanglin Gate entrance.

Dear Walkists,
Thanks to those who had responded: via direct emails and on the website…. see you on 14April 07.
For those who drives – to address your concerns as to where
to park your cars:
park at Ghim Moh, near block 12A. OR
The MRT track at Clementi runs along road named: Commonwealth
Avenue West.
Park your car at any carpark nearer to Clementi MRT station, as it will
be easier for you to find it later – take note of the relevant HDB Block
#. I will be able to guide you back
there.
Clementi and Ghim Moh are 2 stations away: “Clementi – Dover
– Buona Vista.
Alternatively, you may take a bus. Several buses from Clementi do pass by Ghim
Moh. However, I believe for most drivers, it will be more complicated for you
to commute by bus. You know what I mean, no offence {smile}
Stay coool 
Sat, 21 Apr 07 from 4 p.m. at East Coast Park
Meet at the rear of McDonald Marine Cove (former East Coast Recreational Park). Rented bicycles are abundantly available at reasonable rates. Activity will not be cancelled even if it rains but will be brought indoor to turn into chitchat session. Rain or shine, we will definitely be there 4 U. Look forward to seeing you guys.

Walking Trial: Ulu Pandan Park Connector
Getting there:
Introduction: The Park Connector Network is an island-wide network of linear open spaces that link up major parks, nature sites and housing estates in Singapore. When the entire network is completed, it will form a green network, spanning over 300 km across the whole island, making it convenient to travel from park to park.
For this month, we have selected one of the park connectors ie., the Ulu Pandan Park Connector. It is about 9 km long. The T-shaped park connector has three end points: at Bukit Batok East Avenue 2 (near Bukit Batok Nature Park), the Ayer Rajah Expressway near Pandan Reservoir, and Commonwealth Ave West near the Buona Vista MRT station. Stretches of the Ulu Pandan Park Connector are fringed with lush landscaping beside a canal, while other areas have been left virtually untouched.
No worries, we are not walking the entire 9km {smile}. Be assured it is a leisure walk.
The track is paved, making it an enjoyable and safe walk or even for cycling. Do look up among the trees and shrubs, you would probably see colorful birds and butterflies flitting among the greenery.
Recently, someone had written to the ‘Forum’ (as Ghim Moh flats are to be redeveloped soon) commented: why disturbed…the connector has served as a tranquil retreat for a great many neighboring residents…to start building on such a piece of well-used, mature green lung would be a shame.
So, let’s get our feet on it before another stretch of lush greenery is gone!
We shall curtail our walk at Clementi Avenue 4. For the growling tummies, at the nearby blocks of flats are some coffee-shops or walk another 10mins to the Central where there are more selection of food at both coffee-shops and food centre. I heard there is also a small joint serving Japanese food (near NTUC). The Clementi MRT station is in the vicinity.
Note: For those who wish to continue the walk, you may proceed all the way to Jurong East.
See you there! Stay cool!
Time to work on the next monthly activity. For April, we shall have an outdoor gathering and activity, at the Botanic Gardens. We have not had a Sunday gathering before, so this will be the first time. And, for SilverHairs who love music, here it is. This SHC gathering is a good opportunity and platform to meet other SilverHairs. So, come along.
If you are coming, simply add a comment here, saying you are comiing.

The Pot-luck is confirmed for Sat, 13 Jan, 2007.
What is most exciting about this event is the venue will be the terminating point of the cycling and walking groups. On this day, the cycling and the walking activities will proceed with the usual activities.
For those bringing food, Yew Kwong, Terence and other SilverHairs will be there are 3pm. Do not bring too much food, say for about 10 persons.
For those who are not cycling or walking, SilverHairs can meet at the Pot Luck venue. Bring something to sit on so that you can sit on the grass or sand and chat. Plenty of strong winds, maybe some rain. It would be nice if you put on your beach wear or swimming gear. Stay comfortable, as there are no seats.
Transport may be difficult for some, but do try to make arrangements among yourselves.

Date: 30th September 2006 (Saturday)
Place: Botanical Gardens
Start Time: we start the walk at 4.30pm, takes at least 2 to 3 hours
Meeting point: at Botanical Gardens-Tanglin Gate, one of the major entrance ie., junction of Holland and Napier Road. Next to this entrance is a bus stop (behind it was where the former Taman Serasi Food centre/Gleneagles Hospital) and across the overhead bridge is a bus stop too (behind is Embassy of USA).
Getting there:
<!–[if !supportLists]–>1. <!–[endif]–>similar buses serves both direction ie., SBS 7, 105, 123, 174 and TIBS 75, 77, 106.
<!–[if !supportLists]–>2. <!–[endif]–>From Orchard MRT, exit to Orchard Boulevard Road bus-stop, these bus services can be found. Counting from next stop after boarding, I think you alight at the 4th stop.
<!–[if !supportLists]–>3. <!–[endif]–>OR you may start the walk! from Orchard MRT exit at Orchard Road or Isetan Scotts Shopping Centre walk against traffic flow towards Tanglin/Napier Road.
<!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–>
I believe many of us have been to the Gardens, perhaps quite some time ago. Let’s take a nostalgic walk down memory lane — from Tanglin Gate stroll along Tanglin Gate Road towards the ever serene swans gliding in Swan Lake, you will be mesmerized by the beauty of hues in bloom along the way; up a slight gradient to Sundial Garden, Bonsai, and down to the Ginger Garden. Let’s take a little time to enjoy the beautiful Ginger blooms. They are so beautiful! and the small waterfall, is refreshing. Next, one gets a panoramic view as the Symphony Lake is in sight; also, some water lilies and lotus are in bloom! (I hope all the flowers stay in bloom till our we visit ). Here we can linger longer or adjourn to the View Terrace, which is a short distance away, where there is shade and a small waterfall, as well. As we stroll along, all of a sudden it seems you have arrived at a miniature desert, a journey through time ……. to proceed further or turn back to where there is food! Decision? … decision? Let’s take it from there.
There is a refreshment kiosk at Ginger Garden and toilet facilities. At the end of the walk, we can have dinner at the newly opened Taman Serasi Foodcourt or the Halia Restaurant at the Ginger Garden (was told that it serves good food at a price).
The Garden closes at midnight so, relatively safe to stay (if you choose to) till the lights come on.
Put on your walking shoes, come and enjoy the lush foliage @ the Gardens.

Hi Guys
Some of us in the cycling group have discussed about making a trip to this wonderful place from Fri, 20 Oct to Sun, Oct 06. Those travelling may have to apply for official leave from their office if it falls on a working day. Please do not bring children.
We wish to cater just one busload of about 40-44 paxs. The fares and other details will be updated in a few days’ time.
In the meantime, you can view details about this place here –
Vincent Khoo is currently leading a group on a one week trip to Chonburi. This is the 2nd trip organised this year. Chonburi is one of the largest provinces in Thailand, with a large Chinese community. Vincent has based the group at a beach side resort, with access to supermarkets, hospitals, public transport and a wide variety of food and amenities.
The trip follows an earlier SilverHairsClub discussion on how to stretch the Singapore dollar during one’s retirement years. The target set is SGD 500 per month, inclusive meals and board.
Vincent’s next trip is to Chiangmai. Members interested, please contact Vincent by SMS at +661 555-9950.or +65 9194-5377. He does not have email access.
Travelling together is a joy. Only, if we know one another. It takes time to know one another. Maybe not now, as some of ours are still working. Maybe wait until we retire. For some, better travel while our legs can take us around. Need to keep costs down too. Budget airlines helps.
Let’s start a list of travellers. If you like to travel, just put your name here, so that others can contact you. And, if you are going somewhere, and want to look for fellow travelling friends, come here to this list too.
We shall keep updating this list. Simply let us know through your comments:
Charles Wee, Terence Seah, Veronica Wong, Gibson Tan, Ann Giri, Lily Ho, Jessie Lu, Seow Lee Lee, Patricia Lam, Eyvonne Chew, Peter Thia, Maria Tan.
Terence Seah
Last sat we had our walk.I think this is the second walk. Charles was very careful and considerate in planning the route. The meeting and starting point was kallang MRT and ended at the DURIAN. Both points are accessible and easy to meet/locate. We took about 1 hr to complete the "jouney". we walked at a very relax pace and more imptly, we have a very pleasant and wonderful group of walkers . Along the way we make small talks and share info on many things and experiences. These series of walks is only the beginning of more events . Come and join these walks and find your KAKIS to form more splinter group. More groups means more activities. Retirement in not to Retire at HOME . Ideally there is an activity each day. Charles is a very good planner. He is very dertermine, helpful and considerate. The next walk canbe a little further and bigger group . At the end of the walk we can all sit down and "chat" and get to know each other better. See U there
