Love cruises. Can’t join gang on Virgo due to heavy prior holiday committments. But we don’t have to travel together to enjoy cruises as a club. Like to use this post to share great deals, experiences, and opportunities on cruises.

Let me start with a great deal posted by Ron Lai,
"VIRGO cruise on 6d5n to Bangkok and Hua Hin, at the cost of $l030/= per pax (exclude tax), on the BUY ONE GET ONE FREE, subject to paying by" DBS/POSB cards.

He says interestingly
"We love cruises, not as to venture to the casino or the one-arm bandit, as these will cause to donate, but to enjoy the lovely music and dance the nights away, every nights. In the mornings, with sea-breeze blowing to your face, can do LTK (LUK TUNG KUEN) exercise on the deck."

But let’s not leave out Casinos – your favorite tips & tricks to beat the house. It is part of the total experience. With luck, an enriching one.

No enbloc and more than 10 years. Watch your gas pipes. With age they can  pit with rust and can leak under pressure. The usual culprits are the exposed pipes. You can check these yourself. But the more subtle are the concealed. Normally, if you have separate water leak then gas pipes nearby will be become suspect over time. Ask the gas company to check regularly. 

Sad about Mr. Chan the active senior who died from the Bt Merah gas leak.

Question : Does anone knows why "Sarah" of Sarah Senior Citizens Activity Centre. Is this private and profit run?

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….

Registration:

• Good enough on the green – Daniel Kang, Terence Seah, Charles Wee, Pauline ?, Eleanor Chan, Ronald Wie, Ah Nee, Molly, Bessie Lam, Jeremy, Andrew, Gywneth Lee, Daniel Kang (left hand golfer)
• Good enough to start on the driving range – Annto, Ann Lim, Susan Chang, Norlinda

The Blue Helmet project is currently at its business plan stage.  For SHC members who may not be familiar with this project, Blue Helmet is intended to take the tasks of being a one-stop shop where companies can recruit experienced professions.  Other tasks include training and continued education.  Many SilverHairs have retired, and Blue Helmet hopes that their skills, knowledge and experience can continue, after 55 or 62.

Currently, we are looking for SilverHairs, with experience in:

• Managing Human Resource departments
• Managing Finance and accounting departments.

If you feel you can contribute to the Blue Helmet project, at this stage of project submission, please raise your hands.  If you put your name here, KT Wong or myself will be in touch with you.
