  6. James,

    i just realise that i am able to make it to Bollywood nite; but not able to make it to your special lunch which happen to be on the same day Sat, 27 Jun. i have timed to arrive at 3pm so going to miss this event.

    But i want to say it is remarkable how you have been able to gather such a large group to this makan event. This is very encouraging and the event clearly serves to fulfill a meeting other SilverHairs objective. Well done, and I hope other SHCians will pick some tips from you.

  7. Hi Terence,

    Thank you for the compliment.
    If I can do it, so can anybody in SHC.
    If fact, there are many capable members who has organised
    better events on a bigger scale that mine paled in comparison.
    One good example is the recently concluded D n D extravaganza
    organised by Francis Mangalam

    Anyway, enjoy your Bollywood event.

  15. Hi Jane Loh,

    My apology. I checked several on my acct but could not
    ind yr payment as of 10pm today.

    Could you kindly check that the correct acct DBS Sav
    047-5-014580 is being transferred to.

    If possible, use interbank transfer as your name will be
    reflected in the transaction. ATM transfer does not have
    this feature.

    Would you n Patrick mind to pay the original price of $29
    if everyone on the list pays up by 15/6?

    1st 40 pax.

  21. Hi James,
    I transferred $24.00 from my POSB saving account to your DBS saving 047-5-014580 (the numbers are correct) at Pkway BR3 on Sat 6 June 14:03. I’ve the receipt to prove and show you when we next meet. I did not register for interbank transfer and not very IT literate.
    What advice can you give with regards to the above if it is not reflected in your account? Perhaps being a Sat afternon, it has not been transferred yet.
    Jane loh

  22. Hi James,

    I have transferred $24 today (8Jun) to the DBS acc provided.
    Ref. 6463. Thanks for organizing and look fwd to seeing everyone.

  23. Hi James,

    Today on 8 Jun 2009 @ 6.17 pm., I had transferred S$24.00 to your DBS Savings account for the Grassroots Club Lunch. The Ref. no. is 7396. Please acknowledge receipt.

    Thanks and see you.

    Bernie

  24. Hi Bernie,

    Do you remember when you were collecting funds for the D n D
    in April, did the Ref no of the bank payment by the diners
    appeared on your Bank statement?
    Mine does not show up and I’ve a bit of difficulty as to
    who are the payers.

    Can you or anybody who receive fund before confirm?

    james

  25. Hi James,
    For internet banking, u can see str away in ur records. However, if it is thru’ ATM transfer, normally, it will take 1-2days b4 you can see them in your acct bk. But if u to check at ATM machine, there will be something stated that this amount is still hold. Not dat the payee had insufficient fund in their acct. It is just the norm practise while doing ATM transfer, so I would suggest that u wait for 1-2days b4 u check online if u 1 2 100% sure.

    Hope this info can be of some help. Cheers.. Dolly

  26. Hi James,

    The reference no. of the bank payment by ATR transfer will not be reflected in the Bank Statement. What I did was to match the payments quoted by the SHC members on the web-site for a particular day with the amount credited into my bank account on the same day. However, for those transfer payments done on Saturday and Sunday, you will have to wait and match the amounts shown in the Bank statement on Monday / Tuesday. If you are not sure that the person had paid up, you can request to see a scanned copy of the bank transfer receipt from that person as proof of payment.

    Cheers and see you at the lunch date.

    Bernie

  27. Hi James,

    I did a fund transfer via ibanking just a while ago, amount of $48 are for Sockie and myself. Ref:2301461172. ibanking is easy, you will see my name beside the reference number, hope you don’t have a headache. Thanks for organising this sumptous lunch. :)

    Ah Nee

  28. Hi James,

    Transferred via ATM to your DBS Savings acct: 12Jun 11:16hours amount:$48 for Peng Peng and myself.

    Regards,
    ChristinaCL

  29. Hi James,

    Thanks for organising this makan event which is one of
    my favourite.

    However, my name stands out like a sore thumb awaiting
    your verification to confirm receipt of my payment
    which was made on 6/6 at 10.26hrs at POSB atm outside
    NTUC Serangoon Central.

    Earlier you confirmed receipt upon Grace Wong’s posting
    on my behalf, thereafter I discarded the bank slip.
    But since then you said it’s to ‘be verified’

    Appreciate your advice as regards to the above asap.

    Thank you.

  30. Hi AnnL, King Seng, JaneL,

    Since all 3 of you have called DBS to confirm deductions
    already made from yr account, I’ll update yr status as
    PAID.

    To the rest who made payments these 2 days, I shall confirm
    your status on Sunday. Sorry for any delay as I’m out of
    town right now.

    james

  31. Hi James,

    Payment have been made to your DBS account. Sound like you have a lot of confusions in receiving money.. ..do you have IB (internet banking) a/c with DBS? If you do, you can enquire immediately all transactions under your a/c.

    Thank you.

  32. Hi foodies,

    I’ve already put a deposit with the restaurant and let them
    know our ordered items.

    Get ready for a big feast next Saturday.

    james

  33. Hi James,

    I will transfer $48 to your DBS savings account as
    promised by this afternoon.

  34. Hi James Tan,

  35. Dear all,

    Club where the restaurant is situated.

    Happy eating.

    james

  36. Hi James,

    A short note of appreciation for a delightful array of sumptuous food we had at Imperial Court Sharksfins Restaurant today. Quality of the food is only surpassed by the impeccable service and value.

    The ambience is just right for fellow members to mingle and interact, with our 4 tables tucked in a cosy corner.
    As a gourmet yourself, your choice in the selection of those mouth-watering dishes is most commendable!

  37. Dear all,

    Thank you for the full participation in this special lunch.
    Thank you also to Nora Chia for the 20% discount that we
    enjoyed at the 4 tables.
    Since the support is good, I’m considering of organising
    another buffet at Seafood@Big Splash in August, after the
    monthly cycling event.
    This is a 40-dish sit down buffet that’s getting very
    popular. View this website for details and raise your hand
    again if you are keen.
    I’ll put up a new post if there’s enough interest.
