  1. Hi

    Photos uploaded. Please search East Zoners then scroll to bottom of post for link to photos.

    Happy viewing!

  2. Sorry Ros,
    Need to use your thread to get Caroline Gee to contact me via email as I’ve something to forward to her regarding some cruise package which may be useful to her to be the next EO. Caroline, can you pls email me your personal email address so that I can forward the attachment to you? My email address: lisa.ong@tmesystems.net Thanks. Lisa

  4. Hi Ros,

    Does that mean that Phil and I can just turn up this Sat?
    We don’t have to register? If we have to register, pls advise how. Thanks, alice

  5. Hi Ah Nee #63,
    Fyi, Marilyn has started a thread for parents like us, so do join in the thread and when we arrange to meet up, we’ll see you there. Rgds, Lisa

  7. Mary, Lisa and Ah Nee, going off-topic is very common in forums lah! I’m okay as long as no one use my thread to spew rubbish. :p

    We’ll get together with some other mothers of single children and yak yak yak…hehehe

    Ros

  8. Hi everyone! Sorry, I just got back from Malacca and I’m amazed there are still members wanting to join the get-together this Saturday. Amazed because I didn’t expect the response to be so good! :)

    Well, as I’ve mentioned in the original thread, the cut-off date for registration was the 9th. The Tavern can accomodate 28 pax indoor and another 25+ outdoors. So there is ample seatings BUT, those who registered will be seated indoors and those who registered later have to make do with outdoors. There is no door differentiating outdoors and indoors seating so those outdoors will not be ‘shut out’.

    See you all this Saturday!

  9. Mary Chan #61 & Lisa Ong #62……

    I hope Ros don’t mind me talking about our sons / daughters having their life partners in this thread. My son hardly get in contact with girls, was in ACS (primary school) & Victoria / VJC, then army & then engineering in the UNI. So when finally he was out in the society to work, again…his colleagues are mostly (99%) guys. During that time I was kind of worried if he can get a girl friend and I kept nagging at him to find one. When he’s reaching 27 yrs, I was more anxious…luckily he found one now and then I start to worry again, hmmmmm… this girl good or not? Oh dear, and I realised… I am not ready to be a mother-in-law! hehehee…. so complex ??? as parents, we never stop worrying…think we should let nature takes its course.

    Ah Nee

  10. Mary #61,
    Don’t worry too much lah, kids these days have their own plans and when I told my son that I’ll introduce him to some girls, he told me not to bother and let nature takes its course. My son will be 25 in Aug this year and is currently working in London as a Fund Analyst. He’s quite tall (but not as tall as our Steven in SHC), approx 5’10” with big body structure. A few of our SHC members have met him on his last return to S’pore in Nov ’09. So if you do know of any nice girls around, let’s get them acquainted. Don’t want him to stay overseas and rather that he settles in S’pore, hahahha…Rgds, Lisa

  11. Lisa Ong # 58
    Thanks. I haven’t been regular on the website and was just scrolling through when I saw your comment.
    It’s great being a grandma. I help when I can. The best part is, I get to enjoy the little darling, then hand her over to the parents and retire home to rest and do my other activities. Hee.

    Regarding your son, how old is he? I have another daughter but I think she’s older than your son. I’m beginning to worry about her now.
    Hey, what happened to our supposed “get together one day”?
    Cheers

  14. Hi Mary #34,
    Congratulations on being a grandma! I can’t wish for that day myself but looks like it’s going to be a long long way……. as my son has yet to find a g/friend first. Any nice eligible daughters of SHC members to introduce? Enjoy your time with your g/daughter as they do grow up fast. Best wishes, Lisa

  35. Hi Cyclists

    Although there is no official cycling on that Sat, u can still cycle. As Eileen had suggested, u can go for a longer rider on Changi Coastal Road. I will be cycling there as well. Can meet u after your makan ends.

  36. If there is still available space for me to sit, do you mind register for this event?

    Thank you.

  37. #31 Ah Nee,

    Bring your bike lah, we can go for a longer rider after the gathering, along Changi Coast Road and back..

    Rene, Nor cycling on..?

    cheers,
    eileen

  38. Rosalind Lee
    I’ve been MIA because I’m now a grandma! My lovely grand daughter, Amber Collins Kai Li decided to come 3 weeks earlier and arrived on the 15th of Dec., Santa’s early Christmas present,hahaha.

    When I saw your post, I wanted to join in but realised that her one month celebration falls on the same day, which is the 16th of Jan.

    I will have to skip this one and wait for the next one.
    Have fun!

  39. Hi Rosalind,

    I live in Hougang, and I like to join the East Zoners gathering. Please register me and I will be there.

    Keep it up, welldone, and great kick start. Meantime, we keep finding a few East SHCians to continue running this gathering.

    Terence Seah

  40. #29 Caroline Gee,

    Caroline, since you have friends attending this event, you can still join us mah. Drink lots of water (FOC) or Tea with lemon. I’m sure the new members will be inspired to participate in future SHC activities if they see how members are able to click with each other and become good friends.

    I put your name in the list can?

    Cheers
    Ros

  41. Dear carly & Nor Sayang…..

    Thank you for your kind offer….hehehe that’s why I like to go to the East. Thot the FUN is to bring my bike and park my car at Nor’s house and from there we, Rene, Nor, Ah Nee & may be Eileen Thean can cycle together to the makan place “SIDEWALK TAVERN”. But if I don’t bring my bike, then I will park my car at Carly’s house lor. Will see how…. and let you know later nearer to date. :)

    Ah Nee

  42. Dear Carly Wurly..
    Oh ya la..forgot u the singing queen that nite..better dont,if not sure rosak suara!…haha

    Yes..missy Ros let me join her tavern,thats so nice..thank you,if not..i sure go by backdoor!..LOL..

    AhNee..forgot about Carly’s parking lot..lagi bagus,so near..no need to cycle!

  43. Wei Wei Nor Sayang

    I “dare not” register to attend to go for this 16th one because I will be singing on 17 Cabaret nite. You know how I talk and laugh – so loud and so much, sekali no voice or kena sore throat how right? Thats why keep quiet only. But since you mention my name, I better say something.

    Aiya Ah Nee can park at my place because it is only two minutes walk from my place. Let me know ok?

    Sayang, no need to worry, EO put your name down already for this gathering. I already got so throat so must drink liang teh and not eat toast.

    Enjoy!

    Cheers
    Carly

  44. Hi Rosalind

    I am an easterner,but think its too late for me to register…
    so I shall just go & peep peep!..boleh?

    Alamak!, AhNee..this get-together thread very laku..so fast bo liow!…haha..
    Nonetheless,u still can park at my house & then cycle there la…if not, I tell u where to park at a ‘secret’ place & for free..ooppss!..sshhh! :)

    Ros..
    Pls let me know,if there’s any future eastern gathering..perhaps we should organise a picnic at eastcoast?..
    Im sure Carly would be delighted!..hhhmmm..

  46. Dear all,although the cut-off pax I’ve stated in my original post is 15, I’ve adjusted it to 16 as I omitted to include Belian.

    I’ll be doing the booking of tables on the 10th whereby I’ll drop by at the venue to check their teatime menu.

    I’ll continue to add the names of members who would like to join and hopefully by the 9th, I don’t overexceed the seating capacity in Sidewalk Tavern. I’ll inform all of you of the outcome when I’ve visited the venue.

    Cheers
    Ros

  47. Hi Rosalind,

    I would like to attend the gathering. I did not find time to log online to register earlier.

    It is okay if you cannot accept more attendees. Do let me know your decision.

    Bernie

  48. Hi Ros,
    Is it possible for me to join? I know the place as I live in Bedok.
    I have e-mail to u 2 days ago to join the gathering.

    Belian

  49. Hi Rosalind,

    Hope to join you in next time. My duty for stage manager is on the next day and still very nervous !! Enjoy !!!

    Cheers !!!

  53. Dear Ros

    Noted with thanks and am looking forward to meeting all of you too.

    I think you’ve sent it to my office email which I’ve access only when I’m in the office. It’s ok, I’ll read it tomorrow. I can’t remember if I’ve also given my personal email on my profile when I register myself with SHC using the office email (hahaha).. it’s FmFaBb@yahoo.com.sg and for this I can’t get access to it when I’m in the office due to office IT security reason… susah rite ??(sigh…).

    Anyway, the most important thing is I can get into the link for SHC in both location.. (yeah…. !!)

    Pauline

  56. #11 Pauline Ho,

    Ros

  67. Hi Rosalind,

    Gee you are indeed a fast starter. I see you have chosen the same date as the Cabaret night. Maybe you will have participants from those who are not going to the cabaret nite. Guess, I wont be able to join you. But, do note.

    Terence Seah
