Madeline Tan – Profile

Hi Everyone!

Madeline, the newbie here and eager to get a feel of this social club as I am always happy to make new friends. Was formally from SinglesConnect until I was suddenly single no more and had to boot myself out.

Socially and for personal enhancement, I took on Qigong, Tai Chi and a host of other meditation sessions in the hope of a better connection with the Universe and all the wonders of spiritual clarity, awareness and of course spreading the LOVE. Er…I can’t help that being a child of the 60’s flower power era, it is inherent in my nature. So I try to send out joyful vibes whenever and wherever I can Reiki-wise. I have to mention Reiki in case you readers have wild ideas on how I spread the LOVE. emoticon

I am presently 49 years young and waiting for the major double-digit change next year as an excuse to hangout at the possible “wild” parties my has-been hippie friends might throw, as we are all experiencing the same welcoming number to our age. Being obsessive compulsive in nature, a round number helps too…though some women may beg to differ where age is concerned. Also “Wild” these days constitutes dancing for 10 minutes and taking a break of 20 haha!

emoticon 

Avid traveler, photographer, foodie and dancer (swing and social), it is my hope that I may meet like-minded kakis for such activities. Der Hubby can just tag along and make a lot of noise as in – he has a loud voice and always acts like an excited puppy (some people like that though I don’t know why hmmm…). emoticon

So here’s to new acquaintances, hangouts and delightful times ahead!!!

Live Long and Prosper,
Mad emoticon

  1. Hi Mad derdiva,

    Welcome, welcome.

    Your writing certainly sends out good and joyful vibes. So……..you have OCD. Me,too (a mild case, I think. Kekekkee)

    Hope to meet you one day.

  2. Hi Mad…. erh…can we address you as Mag instead? (I find it awkward to call someone mad…he.he.)

    Welcome to the club. No worries, you will definitely find alot of like-minded people of the same interest. I heard about Reiki and its power. It can heal pain and/or discomfort. Do you practice it? I would be interested to know more. Hope to see you around soon.

    Cheers,
    Suzhang

  3. Suzhang
    no, u cant. Mag stands 4 diff name. heehee

    Mad
    haha, she’s right. sounds strange 2 call someone mad. :)
    You sound like a lot of fun.
    Anyway, welcome 2 the club.

    Btw, you’re already in your 50th year so you can begin celebrations with yr hippee friends already. by the time of 50th birthday, you’re into yr 51st year. My friend told me this earlier this year when she mentioned I could start celebtrating my jubilee already. ;)

  4. Haha, Madeline, the vivacious dame wwho made(a)line in salsa, welcome and greetings from bocelli……ah bo.

    Nice to read you again. Csn see that you’re not just alive but as lively, chattering chatty as ever and now into the spiritual. Qigong is great but dont ever qi yr lao gong by getting too deep in hanging out with fellow SHCians, leaving him at home to hang the laundries hor

  5. Hi Madeline

    A very warm welcome to SHC. You mentioned Reiki in your profile. Are you trained by Barbara or Keven and if you are still an avid practitioner?

    Looking forward to meeting you and sharing of Reiki experience.

    Regards
    Helen

  6. Hi Madeline,

    A very warm welcome to you and glad that there is one more shutterbug in our midst. I did Reiki too under Keven early this year but have not been praticing it…maybe one day we can get together and so some reiking with Helen huh?

    BTW a small group of us are dong a photography to Vietnam in Nov this year and there is 1 vacancy left for a lady. Wanna join us? Do drop me a line if you are keen and I will send you the info.

    Once again, welcome

  7. Hi Madeline,

    Welcome to the Club. You will definitely find it very interesting and is full of activities for you to participate.

    Once again, welcome and hope to meet up with you.

    Lilian

  8. Hi Madeline,
    Were you the one that I met at the last SHC monthly meeting at Hans? If so, then we do not need any introduction anymore, so do join in as many activities as possible and I’m sure our paths will meet again. Take care and hope to catch up with you some day. Kind regards, Lisa

    Hi GERALDINE,
    Thanks for your warm welcome Fella OCD mate.

    Hello SUZHANG,
    Like what Andrew said, Mag is a different name altogether.
    In school, I was known as Maddog to my endearing IJ schoolmates. At work, I was known as The Viper after leaving a bite on someone for sabo-ing me. My schizo boss to be exact. Then in the Airlines, I was called the Flying Nun (self-explanatory), Ms Jung Frau (unconquered mountain range in the Swiss Alps after some smartass crew went on the tour), Eatery, Bottomless Pit, Mealtime Madeline, and later as the S&M (Stage Mgr) by some theatre crew. I am already Auntie Mad to all the folks at the Henderson Snr Citizens’ Home so it shouldn’t be tough hereon in calling me just plain Mad knowing what I have been through.

    Hi ANDREW,
    You are right about the age thing. My late mom used to tell me that I was a year old the minute I was born. When my late mom moved on to knock on the Pearly Gates, the funeral parlor folks added 3 more years to her age at the wake as it is deemed to be more Ho Mia (gd life) longevity-wise in the eyes of the other elders. But there were no elders, only my ever-reliable hippie friends and others from the New Age circle who were all scratching their heads on this strange practice.

    To TIM,
    Wah after all these years you have found new turf to chase new skirts ah…as mentioned by some of my spies from SinglesConnect who have infiltrated your turf hmmm. You must have gathered quite a few skirts by now in your closet unless the women are all too smart for you to get a hold of. No worries old chap, there are lots of gullible sweet, young things in Myanmar, Vietnam and China. Come to think of it…scratch China – not cheap anymore and the women are getting rather picky.

    Thanks for your welcoming message but I have never made a Salsa line as I generally make first impressions well by barking at folks who do not return registration slips and Karaoke songs sheets to be shared. Btw, that’s how I met my Hubby – Love at First Bark. Maddog now signing off on resident SHC Skirt-chaser.

    Hello HELEN,
    I was trained by Alan, a very evolved, spiritual teacher in multiple plains of metaphysical processes and practice. I went the full 9 yards with Reiki so to speak by completing my Mastership in Usui and Karuna. As for practice, I embrace it in almost everything I do. But I must clarify that I do not attune people as I have a different life path to take. My Reiki studies and attunements was a process to realise and enhance my other gifts.

    Hi SOCKIE,
    Thanks for the offer but I have done quite a bit of shooting in Vietnam when I working there for 3 months quite some years back.

    On Reiki, it has many uses though healing is the common sellout point as most folks fear illness but if you embark on the other uses of manifestations, visualization and feel, it is boundless and always has a win-win emphasis in all that you do. That’s what makes it so wonderful.

    Hi LILLIAN,
    Thanks for your hearty welcome and hope to meet up with all of you soon.

    On a last note: Sorry for the long banter as I say “Hi” to everyone but is this the only way I issue replies as some folks may not enjoy sifting through long posts on others to get to their replies. How I can post one-on-one if there is privacy required? Sorry for being so suaku at this site.

  10. Hi Lisa,

    You may have met my evil twin instead as I have only brush past Hans in the past when I was on my way to return a library book. That’s as close as I have been with any Hans outlet so far. Hope my evil twin was behaving herself in my place hmmm…

    May our paths actually cross eventually and may you be able to snatch the pebbles from my hand…

  11. Hey All,

    On my last note about putting you through all this long banter, I logged onto this site without first checking my email which showed all the SHC replies with relevant email addresses for private posting. So I am suaku no more in case you are about jump in to help clear my foggy mind on this issue.

  12. Mad, your spies are quite correct abt gals leaving their skirts behind for me. I think that Chinese traditional dress emblazoned with beads, pearls and peas belonged to you – and yes, it’s suaku alright. Till today, I still dont understand why gals think that their skirts will help me jolt my memories of them. Truth is, I gave them away although there were few takers.

    Gals from Myanmar, Vietnam and China dont remove their skirts for me. Going by your logic, they are obviously not very smart.

    Btw, nice to know that you’re still married to him…………obviously, he cant be too picky to marry within 3 mths of yr courtship. Come to think of it, the nuptial knot you tied must be quite tight but do make surprise checks of his closet for skirts, and you might be surprised, hehe…………

  13. Hey Tim,

    Whatever you say, I still wish you well and may you find lasting happiness soon. Just a small word of caution: If you are opposed to knots, don’t ever wear a necktie which is also nooselike.

    (((Joy to the World)))

  14. Haha, Mad, you shd have grabbed the first opportunity to wish me well and not drifted into a dichotomy of sorts. Anyhow you did and it’s not too late.

    Frankly, the fiery ah bo is dead and tim ah liu is tons more amiable today. If you like to add affable to his credit, I will accept it.

    I am not opposed to knots and do wish you and your loving hubby happiness. Just that, dont tie him too tight.

    Last, but not least, SHC is certainly a lot more lively, exciting and fun than SC. Come join us, experiencee it.

  15. Hi Mag,
    Welcome.
    Haha TimL has finally found his match.
    At this point, I cannot tell who is better but will be interesting to track your rebutals.
    I prefer to call you Mag than Mad.
    Could you tell me more about Reiki and how I could pick up lessons. Also interested in Qigong. My email is rogerllh@gmail.com

  16. Aiyayah, Roger-L, altho Mad is pretty and sometimes lights up matches carelessly, she isnt my match lah.

    You openly tell us you want to track her butts….you very humsup leh.

    Let me also warn you that being a 8th grade qigong exponent, she can anytime qi you into becoming an ah gong with the point of her middle finger leaving you to pick not lessons from her but yr bones.

    Finally, you shd regret giving her yr email. Remember the Jap horror movie “The Ring”? Yes, that’s what will happen…..you wont get a reply when you click on yr inbox but out she walks from yr monitor with her hair flicked over and her mouth gasping………..

    Still want to tackle her, hehe.

  17. TimL #16
    Ok,ok, I shall keep my distance from the 2 of you until my Qigong reaches level 8.
    BTW this lady is from IJ hoh, don’t know from Central or East. Just a word of caution.

  18. Well, Roger-L, if she is from IJ (Indian Jungle?) then it can be from central or the east but must be from the north. See, she’s fair complexioned and has very few mosquito bites…..anyhow, she must hv long left the jungle. If you want to see another pretty face which might make you think of falling in love one more time, you better start running to look and find her now b4 our SHC superlover supernova Don beats you to it……..

  19. Tim,

    Please take my cue when I go quiet to let you even the score so to speak – on my initial teasing remarks. I had bowed out quietly and wished you well to wrap things up thereon. But you had to go on and on and on…

    Never mind that you had to make suggestions that I left my skirt behind for you and talk about my hubby as though you know who he is and what he is like. With regards to your fertile imagination, I would like to jog your foggy mind that the only time we ever spoke to one another was probably at a SinglesConnect gathering around 7 years ago where our conversations would probably have been mutual lines of “Hi, where is so and so?” or “Have they all arrived yet?”.

    We have Never even conversed with one another on a personal basis to know each others personal lives. What we did jabber about Online were commentaries involving the happenings within the organization itself and…that was all – in terms of familiarity. I am just stating the facts as this is an open thread which is also My Profile in case you forget.

    You may joke around a lot in the light of harmless fun but talk of my butt and suggestive tackling of me by Roger…all this with the obvious fact that I will be reading about it and other people on this open thread is rather inappropriate don’t you think?. Where are your manners? You should talk to a person directly and not make references about them with another in front of them, let alone mention body parts and suggestive innuendos. A reminder here – my butt is very MARRIED as with the rest of me that goes with it. My husband is also rather befuddled on how you could go on and on as though he does not exist in his association with me.

    The written word may sometimes sound harsh without accompanying voice tones for you to realize otherwise but this is not a reprimand but amiably so – this just a request for you to practise some restraint and be more consciously aware of what you are going to write about. Also I implore you to not clog up this thread but Leave Me Alone with Other Folks to exchange pleasantries.

    So please spread your charm and colourful text elsewhere whereby the respondents may have equal charm and welcome your kind of humour and wit with open arms.

    I will respond to you no more on this thread but end off with a pleasant note by wishing you peace and joy.

    Hi Roger,

    There will be no future rebuttals as I have gone upmarket into more tasteful wit. I will write to you at the email address as you’ve requested on things Reiki and what brushes I have with Qigong.

    However, I would like to impart a little first lesson which is Acceptance. You should address me what I prefer to be addressed as I would of you respectfully, especially when we do not know each other well as yet to even jibe with any nicknames that may form with a longer association.

    In short, I loathe “Mag”. So if it sticks in your throat calling me what all my dear friends and loved ones have been calling me for 49 years…that is “Mad”, you can switch to “O Great Goddess” or just simply “Maddie” like most of my gay and lesbian friends do ever so endearingly. Take your pick.

    May I then say – Roger n Out (I bet you get that quite a lot haha!)

    (((Blessings)))
    Goddess wannabe or otherwise Mad or if not too overly tedious – Madeline

  20. Mad, your comments @ #19 to me is fair esp when it didnt siot easy with yr love one of what’s being exchanged tongue-in-cheek btwn Roger and me. Sure, I shall leave you to taste what the market up there has left for you.

  21. Madeline Tan #19

    WOW! well said! People should be more careful what they say after your comment.

    I dislike all these innuendos and twisting of one’s comments that some like to do. It may seem funny to them but it isn’t so to the person involved.

    Good on you!!

  22. Madeline Tan

    Don’t be discouraged. There are not many of these people around. Most of the people in SHC are ‘normal’, genuinely friendly ones.

    Do participate in the activities and perhaps you could encourage your better half to join in too.

    Hope to meet you one day.

    Cheers.

  23. Hi Mary,

    Thanks for your warm thoughts. Not to worry, as I have not thrown in the towel yet nor have I thought anything less of anyone at SHC. We just have to warn some men every now and then not to forget themselves like schoolboys and get too carried away. To think that men generally say women talk ceaselessly and gossip when they are no better haha!

    Hoping to hangout at some of your club activities soon when I can with der hubby.

    Would also like to impart some ideas for the club if I may be so bold to (speaking as a newbie) when I have more time in my hands. Hope people will be receptive to my 2 cents worth.

    (((To Infinity and Beyond)))

  24. Hi Mad

    It doesn’t matter whether you are a newbie or oldie. Terence welcomes all ideas and suggestions. Follow this link to his post http://silverhairsclub.com/?p=2624 and when you have the time, do drop whatever ideas you have in that post.

    Hope you can with your hubby (if he is already a member), join in our activities soon. Coming up this Saturday, 12 Sep is the monthly walk and on 17 Sep is our monthly meeting.

  25. Hi Mad,

    Absolutely right about having to warn some men every now and then plus they are no better in chatting and gossiping endlessly.

    I like strong women who don’t mince words.

    Take care,

  30. Hi Madeline,

    Thanks for your email suggestion. I will read more on it and come back to you.

    Hope to see you in one of the coming event soon.

    Goodnitz.
