Meeting SHCians on 18 Apr

Hi All

Thank you to the following SHCians :Jie,Gwyneth, Karen, Sock Cheng who met me at the foodcourt 6F and  Spotlight at Plaza Singapura for the time and informative sharing on crafts.

I must admit that I never had been a diligent needlework pupil in school and also lacked patience and time in the past. However, I’m looking forward to picking up some handicraft skills before it’s too late.

Jie shared her quilting knowledge and even kindly brought along a library quilting bookfor me.Karen kept me updated about her crystal craft with members last year and the interest generated.She also mentioned other things that she does eg macrame.

With the short time here, I’m hope to pick up some skills from them. Hence I’m posting two craft learning sessions and do join in the sessions if you are interested and let’s learn together.

Joan

An enriching life

Hi All

I believe most of us now welcome the time we have and the opportunity to do things we missed out. I am wondering how to fill my time now with activities that can still allow for new learning or relearning what was forgotten. Some have found their niches, some like me are still looking. I wonder if any who share this view would like to learn new things or teach things/skills they know to other SHCians.

For the time I’m in S’pore I would like to meet members to discuss this with the objective that perhaps we can get together to hold some of these activities at various locations. An example can be hand quilting which I like to learn or even making sushi/dumplings/mooncakes. Other areas can be conversational Japanese, swimming, ebay buying etc. If there are some who can teach these and some who are keen to learn, we can start lessons. Who knows, this can turn out to be business opportunites for some.

Regards

Joan

A Bangala mix with Hindi music disco

Oooh, I just love to dream. I just got out from a dinner at a posh Dhaka social club and now into a local Bangladeshi disco. Located on the 19th floor, the disco is packed with some 100 bangladesh professionals, who are just unwilling to go home. The time is 1055pm. The music is Bangladesh mixed with Hindi. You won’t believe it but the singer is 35 year old, from Dhaka, and extremely sexy and entertaining. With one keyboard, and a tabla, the mood was just right for a disco. Reminds me of the Bollywood disco I went to in Goa. Here, all hairs down. And everybody were as close as a sandwich pair with only a piece of cheese in between. if you think there is a recession in Dhaka, then I would say this city is 6 months behind the rest of the world. Red sarries, fast tempo, oohs, hi my friend, dim lights and bangla mad drinks. Gosh, I had 6 doubles of black label whisky, so this may not make sense. But, in my restrained body, I am thinking and dreaming of a Indian Bollywood mixed with Bangladesh disco for all of us. The music is loud and fantastic. How, cannot express in English. Oh, and not to forget, the cigar. When, aiyah, this year. Terence Seah

Another idea on education centre

Hi All SHCians

This is an afterthought from an earlier post by Terence on Education centre as a source of income. Just wish to share my thoughts and welcome your views.

From what I read surfing the net, there appears  to be a need for babysitters for toddlers and even afterschool care. I wonder if so, can childminding or afterschool care as a SHC business activity, with the objective of conducting enrichment activities for the children, work? Do you think, among the SHCians, there are some with the experience and interest in getting together to form a parents/grandparents/uncles/aunts playgroup or education centre or and running activities eg teaching EL/CL through songs, rhymes,computer aided learning, guitar playing, dance and drama etc.

If the group is small, we can use our homes. I will volunteer my flat for this as I’m a grandma with a toddler grandson whom I would like to see in a playgroup. I don’t really see this as a moneymaking business, more perhaps as giving assistance to working mums and dads.

Mahjong Lessons for beginners

Recently, I have had enjoyable games with our friends from SHC. During some games with mj beginners, I found that it was difficult to teach them at the mj table in the midst of a proper game as lengthy explanations will hold up the games for others. Also, I noticed beginners’ hesitation at throwing cards causes each round of game to be longer which may lead other players to lose interest.

I am a keen supporter of mahjong and hope that this game can be popularized and be enjoyed by all. I think mj practical lessons under no pressure will be more suited for the beginners. For the this purpose, I volunteer to conduct basic and systematic lessons to explain and enhance one’s knowledge of the mahjong game structure and teach the fundamentals – rules, ways of "eating" and throwing cards, how to call and calculate "doubles" etc.

We can start as soon as there are at least 4 interested players and someone who can provide the venue. So far there is already 1 interested player, please get in touch if you are also keen on taking practical mj lessons.

A brief introduction about myself, I am a retired mathematical school teacher and was a member of the Teachers Military Band. I conducted our school military band and also taught snooker to students in school. In my personal time, I had previously taken up chinese drama acting and choir performance. Looking forward to expanding the mahjong circle.

Those who are interested can just leave a contact method along this thread.

A fast way to contact dancers via SMS

Let’s say you have organised a dancing event for this Saturday night.  And you would like to contact other SHCians who love dancing.   So, you write a Post, inviting members to attend.  Then, you complain that this website does not permit telephone numbers to be published.  And, not everybody reads this website every week.  So, some would miss out on the event.

Well, the Event Organiser can now inform "Registered and Interested" dancers via the SHC sms system.  Here’s how I think it can be done.

  1. The Event Organiser must be a familiar face at SHC monthly gatherings; and members know him/her.  Must have been a SHC member for at least 6 months.  Your date of joining is prefixed to your registered name.
  2. The Event Organiser must write a Post on the dance event, on this website.  If needed, the EO can request Admin to send an sms to inform the registered dance group.
  3. All SHCians who love to be informed of any dancing event can register their names with the sms server.  Those who do not register will NOT receive the SMS.  You can de-register anytime.  For more details of the dance event, the member must still check the Post on this website.  How?  I shall inform you this week.

Notes:

  • SHC will not release any telephone numbers of members.  Members will only be informed via SMS; the EO will not know your telephone number.
  • The EO will have to compose and send the SMS message to me, max 120 characters.

This service will also be made available to other sports, hobbies or interest groups, if there is sufficient interest.   Strictly no politics, race, sex, religion, direct selling and MLM.

I am sure there are many among us who enjoy this game.  It is recommended by doctors to senior citizens as this game stimulates the brain cells and thus delay the onset of diseases such as dementia and other age related illnesses.  If we can have a pool of interested members, then we can have a weekly sesssion among ourselves. Stakes are not important as the main aim is to enjoy the game and socialise.

Waiting for responses.

Have a nice day & see you all on Tuesday 16 Nov 2008.

Regards

Roy Koh

MJ Club

The  primary intention of this  MJ (not Michael Jackson fan club)club is to link like minded members who like to play this game for fun or token bets.

If you feel uneasy responding in the forum you can drop me  a private email  and I can discretely link you up with members in the same vicinity with similar time availability and stakes range.

We have 2 ladies in Jurong area and 2 ladies in the Katong/Kembangan and myself in the Bedok area.

The popular stakes range at the moment is 20 cents/40 cents.However if you are interested in the 10 cents/20 cents or 25 cents/50 cents range do indicate what you prefer.We are not encouraging it but if you have no partners to play with in the higher range do make a request and I will advise if I can connect you.

Please indicate if you can only play on weekendsFriday nights,Saturdays and Sundays only) or if retired or housewife that you can play during the day.

Please  advise if you will  want to play with ladies only  leaving poor little old me out of the picture!

Please indicate if your location is able to host the game for free?

When you respond please advise name/sex/area/stakes preferred or within acceptable range/time availability on weekends only or anytime/all ladies game condition/hosting capability.

My email is at insiders111@yahoo.com.sg

MJ is a healthy  activity  that is highly recommended  for the Silverhairs age group to prevent the onset of dementia.If you are interested in learning  I can try to get fellow members to teach you and play games with no stakes involved just for fun.The stakes involved may not be enough for your winnings to pay for you taxi fare(if you do take a taxi) but you will have the thrill(cheap) and boasting rights.I hope this posting meets with Big Boss’s approval.

P.S. Robert…any MJ playes in Bishan area?

RELATIONSHIP ADVISOR

This is meant for members to seek advice on relationship,friendship and even parent/child problems.While I do not claim to be Mr KNOW-ALL on every subject I have been analysed by the DISC system as being equitable ,fair and objective and  a good problem solver(in real life good at solving other people’s problems but not my own problems).I am not a qualified phsychologist but I do have good old COMMONSENSE to steer me through the minefields of different opinions and solutions.

 I may not be the best man for this job even though my buddy TIM voted me the champion writer(biased opinion since he is my buddy…blush ,blush) regarding the Tan Chin Boon debacle but I actually respected  and agrred that Charles Chua’s observations about polarisation into 2 camps was particularly succinct and spot on.Although I do not agree with his conclusion that the initiator is laughing at us at the ruckus he has made.In the words of Ronald Koh …right or wrong that is the beauty of SHC.While Charles Chua and myself do not agree on everything but at least we agree on the more important things and like TIM(we don’t always agree) we continue to  be mature about it and respect each other despite our opinions.

Perhaps my harsh criticism of the over the top responses may not be entirely(most were and deservedly spanked verbally) correct for all but for some  though harsh and biased may have been appropriate in that context with the benefit of hinsdsight and reflection.In the end I think both Charles and myself were wrong in our conclusions…I said he would disappear if he did not apologise and Charles on the laughing at the ruckus part.If I am not mistaken although he was a noshow in the forum by 24 Aug and I was disappointed he did not respond further in at least a limited apology that he is still attending functions with the support of some members(can anybody confirm?)

I have been fooling around and having FUN  with supposedly gambling(investment if you win consistently and definitely more productive returns than TOTO and 4D if you have the expertise.Tim I have a proposal for you… tip 4D consistently at least in theory on the forum and bet on your lucky numbers and see who wins more or looses less in the long run…hello must tip before draw ,OK?).In this post I would like to share serious workable advice and solutions to personal problems.

This is how this post should work:

1) somebody poses a problem(if you are shy you can also present it as a friend’s problem)

2) I give advice and offer a possible solution

3) other members(jury) offer their inputs and advice

4)Review and I will give final advice. Either I shift my opinion  slightly or entirely(not likely)to incorporate these inputs or if I disagree than I have to state why.

5) Initiator of the query has the option to comment and let us know whether he/she is taking the advice with a pinch of salt or implementing  it.Over time report back and review whether it has worked or otherwise

Remember if criticisms are shot like arrows (even at me) than we should all remain COOL and not take it personally for the sake and interests of our fellow members.Do not take this post too (hot under the collar or steam between the ears)or indulge in name calling. or 4 letter words.(no hints or codes also)Attaching a label or tag after backing up your point with reasoning should be the order of the day.

USEFUL TIPS

I have in mind for members to share a range of useful tips that SHC  members can find useful.No I am not talking about horse racing,soccer tips(which are my areas of interest)

An example is that my mother says when I do the washing I must  be turn the clothing inside out,zippers must be zipped up and buttons unbuttoned.How many of you out there who does not do it this way please own up and share how this advice has proven useful.

I have 3 travel tips to share ; when traveling always take the name card of the hotel when you go out as taxi drivers have a bad habit of sending you to the wrong hotel and then apologise profusely for hearing wrongly.With the card and name of the hotel written in the local language they will have less excuse of doing so.

The other tip when taking the MRT , METRO, MTR , the TUBE or the UNDERGROUND especially if the language is foreign as in France is to look for the end station when changing lines and not look for directions for the station you intend to go to.For example when going to Dover when coming from the airport do not look for directions to Dover but look for directions to Boon Lay,Of course you need a station guide or map as well!

Another tip is to learn a few useful phrases in the local language eg in France "ou er de toilette?(where is the toilet? How much? Where is the —— ?

If you are a sushi fan please take note that certain outlets(not restaurants) offer a 50% discount 30 mins before closing time.

I used to leave my battery in my laptop even when I was using the power plug connection.Now I know that u should remove the battery when using the power connection.You should also drain the battery as much as possible if u use the battery.In this way your battery life will be much longer.

When I find my notes I will share how certain stains are removed.

Members  can also  share survival tips ,camping tips cooking tips,how to get nice phone numbers without paying extra like 93833883 or 96998511,tips on weight reduction,how to stave of the onset of  wrinkles,special diet or healthy food programmes,cosmetic tips,travel tips,foodie tips on where the best is for certain types for certain types of food,how to travel with children,investment tips,business tips,where to get bargains,household tips,how to keep food fresh for a longer period  in the fridge,how to make things last longer,where to buy the best durians or where to get tasteful durians at decent prices,how to cut down your handphone bills when overseas.I cant possibly cover every subject so I leave it to members to create new ideas

Tips can also be negative: how to avoid getting ripped off,how to avoid bad situations,share bad experiences or knowledge of bad experiences so members can avoid falling into the same traps.

One tip when buying a car or something similar make sure before you sign  read the receipt  or contract as to whether it includes the GST or excludesand state so clearly.One conman try to con my friend out of an extra GST payment after the deposit was paid.Luckily she got out of a tight spot when I advise her to call their bluff as the road tax was expiring soon and they backed off.

Let this post also be an avenue for members to get advice on issues not related to friendships and relationships or personal issues.(this we can cover in another agony uncle post that I might initiate soon).So if you have a non personal problem or dilemna you can ask fellow members for advice!Caveat Emptor clause applies…use it at your own discretion.

I hope SHC members are willing to share and sometimes in the process embarass themselves(you can always say you were told by a friend…) and help each other by sharing our wealth of Silverhairs experience.

Illuminate each other with your glow , light the candle  and lift the darkness upon us!

NO MATTER HOW OLD WE ARE WE CAN NEVER STOP LEARNING PEARLS OF WISDOM!

    Hi James,

    Your slot 2 should read 7.30-7.45pm. What’s a challenging tasks for you to cope! Are you considering to include line dancing?

    Lily Ho, shall we perform the Latin cha cha as we did at the last D n D or coming up with a new set of dance?

    Molly Chus, how about a dance item, perhaps Waltz? Now that the SNF is down with a fever, let’s channel the energy here!

    Ron Wie, how about getting your jamming team to sing and the dancers will follow in tune?

    It’s a time to destress and unwind and at the same time riding on the unhappiness that beset us! Sometimes going through a bad patch helps us to re-inforce the good things in life that we took for granted!

    At this point in life, let’s dance whenever the occasion called for, let’s sing the blues away, let’s live as there so much to live for!

    Let’s make this monthly gathering something different. Put our hands together to help James. There will also be a lot of new friend to meet, let’s also make it a time for healings!

    Danz

    Hi James

    Thanks for your invitation to perform at your coming Oct’s gatherings. Alice and I are sorry to say that we are not able to accept, as we have a prior engagement on a wedding reception on that day in question. Moreover, we do dance only for enjoyment ourselves and for fun, we do not like to perform.

    We wish you the best endeavour in the forth-coming dance show case.

    Ron n Alice Lai

    Hi Dan,
    I dont think our dancers are ready to perform the Waltz.
    Still trying very hard to master the steps. Tks for
    the invitation.

Horse Racing Advisory

My strike rate has taken a dip in form  and my R.O.I is in the red.However I still would like  to prove that horse investments can make money if one has the right skills ,experience and diligent homework(research).

After a 2 week break I ‘m back with a selection for today . Tim will like this one and he will likely not be a 1st favourite.Even if one wants to play an outsider he should play one of the top 5 favourites as they come in 80% of the time.The problem with rank outsiders is not because of the 20% chances only but which one among this lot? I have tipped  3 value bets of $35 to $40 in my 7naps tipping column previously since the start of this season.

My selection (medium bet confidence) for today is Race 8 nbr 3 Ace Armada.His main rival is nbr 8 with nbr 5 the likely favourite in close contention .The others in the frame are 1-4-2.

I recommend an investment of 50 wins and 50 places on Ace Armada.

  • Foe exotic bet play 3-8/3-8-1-5/3-8-1-5-2-4 and 3/8-1/field and 8-1/3/field
  • For forecast and place forecast 10 tickets @ on 3#8-1
  • For trio go for 3-8/3-8-1/3-8-1-5-2-4

I will do the R.O.I tally some other time.

Your horse racing reit investment pundit

P.S. Anybody thinks he can tip better please feel free to join in before the start of actual races
