LAM HOY TZEE – Introduction

Hi fellow SHC members,

Most of friends address me as "Lam".  I will be 56 this year, still working (no plan for retirement as yet). 

Life is becoming uninteresting since the passing of my wife, just 8 months ago.  I need to rediscover life again.  Got to know Silverhairsclub while seeking direction in coping with the loss.  Hope to meet Silverhairsclub members  to revive all those wonderful and interesting activities of our time and any other new adventure.    

Regards

Lam

I appreciate the EO planning a lot for the silverhairs club.

I’ve not been active in your club before. I’m a semi-retiree (age 74) and now find myself with some free time since left my full-time employment recently.

MY hobbies: reading, gardening (a small garden at home), free-lance engineering works (recent projects: setting up a concrete pumping system in James Cook University for a construction company and rectifying faults in an air-condition system [TRANE] in IR for an air-conditioning contractor), table-tennis and jogging/walking.

Thanks/regards,

I get to know of SilverHairs thru Neo Sock Cheng, a close linedance buddy.

 

Got myself registered but never had an opportunity to meet up with you fellow staff and members. Had been reading alot of your activities and really think you all are a great group of people, especially the Pyjamas Party which you all organised.  Looking at the pictures, I can see that it was a good night of fun and laughter. Well done, pals.
 
About myself… well I definitely meet your entry qualification age above 60, a widow and now upgraded to a grandmother.Am a PA registered Line Dance Trainer and that is one of the reason, I am so busy. Jamming with buddies and students, a passion for line dance.  I am still teaching, and that calls for most of my time.
 
Your thoughts were right. Shy is the word.  I could not mail about myself much earlier. However, your this invitation cannot be left unattended though, so I decided to drop you
this note.

Hope to meet you all soon in one of the activiity.

Catherine Tan

A reflection

Must thank you again for "creating" THE SILVERHAIRSCLUB.

I’d joined SHC mainly because of my interest in cycling and making new friends.  For the 1st year, I’m a follower enjoying all the EOs who organised wonderful events. Kelong trips was my first experience in being an EO and I’m glad it was well received and most importantly, everyone was happy, crazy and behave like e are all in our younger days. Not to mention, the capable and enthusiatic co-EOs and the participation of all who signed up.
 
Basically, I’m a very shy & not so socialable person, never involve in drinks and music, but without SHC and you, I’d not have the confidence going on stage to sing & perform in the various events esp SIC and PromNite…….all the more even have the courage to face big groups in the many SHC gatherings & events.
 
Many members are warm and easy friendly. With the variety of activities, one can easily be involved and never experience any dull moment. I always believed that oneself must be sociable and make the full use or opportunity at every event, creating the fun and in each and every event.
 
With the interest from members, Janet & I would surely be encourage to organise another Kelong trip in 2012.
 
Salute to you!

Thanks & Regards

Agnes Low – Intro

I registered as member since 2 or 3 years back, can’t remember. But have never get to know anyone of you.

The 1st time I attended a annual dinner at Pine Tree club , I was late but stayed for about 2 hours or so. I only got to know the lady who sat beside me and dance with me.  The rest seems to already know one another , although there were introduction but I guessed they felt comfortable talking to only ppl they know.  I were quite disappointed as I am rather a shy person so I left quietly.  Actually, I got a lucky draw but I donated back for a redraw.

The reason why I join SHC, like all of you, to know more friends. As age is catching up, friends are getting lesser and sometimes quite lonely. I am single at age 53. Although in appearance I look social, I am not as I am quite plump. I am  a very different person as compare to my young days , I love dancing and singing. In fact, there were once, thru’ email from one of the SHC member, I cannot remember his name, I attended a dinner organised by a CC ( I think he with the social dance club ). I met up with him and bought 1 ticket , thinking I can meet some friends there. I took a cab from tampines to Hougang I think, and again to my disappointment, I felt like an ‘alien’ there. I stayed for about an hour and left .

With these 2 incidences, I dare not join any of the activity again.  Also, have stop going to SHC website to find out what’s happening. I remembered I did log in once and forgot my membership number and cannot access to it anymore although there was a new number given to me. Perhaps ppl like me not pro-active, that is why hard to find new friends. How ?

Do you think I fit in to this club?

I spend a lot of time watching movies and downloading korean, taiwan and HK TV dramas to keep myself occupied but I feel that it is not getting healthy as I am living in the world of my own.

SO , about time to go out to meet more ppl and socialise.

I have very bad pigmentation as I am always under the hot-sun with my kids’s outdoor activities. With this facial method  –  it have lighten the pigmentation ,  lift-up the skin around the Cheeks where it will always form a "Pa-Zhi" as we age. It helps to soften wrinkles on the fore-head as well as crow-feet  around the eyes.

Should we have an agenda for the monthly meeting?

Most of us are glad to be a member at the Silverhairs Club and appreciate what Terence has done in providing a platform for us to meet. So far Terence has suggested and introduce many activities and carry it through in the last few years. As member we are happy to be part of this and look forward to more participation to come.

Is there something we could do or suggest to bring the club to the next level? Out of this Club many smaller groups are formed and they in turn meet up privately and persue their common interest.

The September meeting will be different from what we had previously. Live singing  by Jeffrey Gan on the keyboard and karoeke singing where member brings their own cd wll be the happenings of the day! Board and card games will also be encourage where member can look for other member sharing similar interest.

I would like to see more participation from member, how about meeting up and have a time where various member can share their thought and mission in life, something in line with Toastmaster International. Having our meeting in Han’s may not provide the privacy needed in such sharing by public speaking. We need to find a place more enclosed for such.

We all come from various background, there will be something exciting to share. Having to make comment on the post may be prohibiting as certain topic may be sensitive. When we meet and listen to fellow member share their goals and ideal in life, a certain bond are created.

Volunteers will be ask to share something about their life that  is memorable and enriching. Do you know that I have tried bungee jumping just because I was trying to get someone’s attention. Oh, there are so much to share and talk about.

It may be just meeting up and sharing each other profile and ideal in life. So, fellow member come to this September gathering. I would want to try something out where we allocate a time frame for each of us to speak out and suggest what they want to see happening in this unigue Club! So many thing I would want to share, my life, my passion and motivation in life and of course some of you may want to share too. Let’s hear from you?

What the …. happened to Ben Foo?

My dear friends,

I have gone MIA for the last 3 months and have not continued with the "investment"  gatherings. I am sorry I did not update earlier.

I am now living in Ho Chi Minh City for the last 2months plus. Yes, I have relocated and have resigned from Phillip Securities, and some fellow SHCians already knew. Sad to say, I will not be able to arrange our "Investment" meetings anymore and participate in all the exciting events that I used to attend, like getting drunk at Ah Nee’s party at MAS.

My old friend has invited me to join him and help expand his biz in Vietnam, and I took the plunge. I now hold a 3-year residency visa in Vietnam, hopefully can find a affordable ‘paradise’ to retire in the longer term.

I am the Singapore director of a 5-year old Korean investment advisory and real eastate company based in HCMC. We provide consultancy to corporate customers to help start their business and quickly secure the appropriate business licenses (not easy and can take forever) in Vietnam.

We also provide real estate agency, investment and management services to help foreign companies and individuals (facing language, cultural and legal issues) to lease or buy land (for building factories, resorts, etc), buildings, offices, retail outlets, apartments (condo) and villas (landed) in Vietnam.

I am still learning anything and everything Vietnamese. It has been quite an experience so far (some of you may know what I mean), and busy settling down (no time for alot of things). 

I shall be most happy to catch up with SHCians living in HCMC, or meet anybody coming over for holidays. I shall pick you up in my company car at the airport. I shall be happy to enlighten those who may be keen to invest and retire in Vietnam, I think it is a very attractive idea. Drop me a post and I shall try to reply asap (sorry in advance if few days late). I am not advertising or asking anybody to do this, but if you ask I shall reply.

Meanwhile, I shall keep my dear friends posted here. So now you want to know what the …. he does at night?

Cheers, Ben Foo

Hi Everyone, I come to know SHC through the ST, I have been following SHC’s activities, at first out of curiosity and then admiration for what Terence, his fellow founders & all the volunteer EOs of this very good club has done & is continuing to do.

We all know that Singaporean’s ability to always find solutions to their challenges are lengendary!!. Now I’m a proud member of SHC and proud to be associated with such exceptional Singaporeans in the club. Exceptional Singaporeans who collectively, would take the bull by the horns, and face future challenges bravely & with resolve. Resolved that by their collective efforts, their future can definitely be happily brighter ones!!. SALUTE !!

Coming back closer to the surface of our earth, I like to smell the grass, like in our recent EXTreme Ramble!! ( EO Jeff & Joyce ) something I would not ever have done on my own!! Nooks & corners of this lovely island I never thought existed. Or what about that ‘Yum Seng’ all night long, interspeared with flexing dancing muscles at the Kovan( EO AhNee ). Having known Sue Chan since our French classes @ Alliance Francaise several years ago, I joined her small group ‘hanging-out in Phnom Penh for 4 days together with Co-EO, Jeff Lim. All these activities are experienced with the overflowing warmth & camaraderie of fellow SHCians. Thank you very very much!!

I agree with Terence, our inspirational Founder, that the immediate challenge for us is the Male_Female ratio. As a result of this ratio, there’s less dynamism than we would have expected in our events & activities. I believe a brain-storming session on this issue would be beneficial for the convergence on the disparity.

As I have moved to the other side of my own century, I feel great that there’s such a great club like SHC. I look forward to joining more events, and meeting many other fellow SHC’ians. I have even adopted Jonathan’s post as my personal motto : ” May the rest of your life be THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE”.

Hello,

I am a new member just joined SHC recently.  I am a retired school teacher in my late fifties, still single.  During my leisure, I indulge in avid reading, playing badminton, attending dance classes (line dancing), as well as watching television, cross-stich embroidery and cooking Cantonese food.

I have a cheerful personality, though rather aloof or proud in hectic youthful teaching days.

I will be participating in a few of the activities organised by SHC.  I hope to fine sincere, matured friends and enjoy their company.

Cheers

Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself.  I register as a member last month in time for the monthly gathering.  Had an interesting time learning a new dice game from Jane (thank Jane) but on hindsight I should have probably circulated around more.  I am still working but am looking forward to retirement (not soon but inevitable).  I like to do walks, cycling, read (chinese and english – prefer sci-fi), photo nature particularly birds.  I visit pulau ubin yearly on pretext of looking for hornbills but really just to destress and enjoy nature.  Have done the southern ridge and McRitchie walks a few time. Hope to meet more of you soon

 emoticonHi, I am Beng Teik and a newbie to SHC. Retired recently and looking forward to join liked minded people in the interesting activities that I read about. I am 60 and until recently was working in the oilfield equipment manufacturing sector. I like to jog, golf, swim, bike, read/cook (whenever the time opportunity is there) and also to travel among others. Now that I have the time, I hope to meet up with you all soon to learn new things and also to share life experiences. I am normally tongue tied in front of strangers and hopefully can assimilate myself into SHC as quickly as possible. emoticon

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

emoticon  Hello, I am new to SHC and my name’s Rosalind Lee. I was referred to this club by
        a friend and I’m glad there’s an informal club for Baby Boomers aside from the
        Residents Zone/Community Clubs’ Senior Citizen Clubs.

        I am 58 years old and a mother with two daughters and a son. I’m also have two
        grandchildren so like it or not, I am a grandmother.
        My former jobs were related to training with topics ranging from Personal Grooming to
        Product Knowledge. I should say I am in my elements when addressing a large crowd
        but I’m lousy in communications with small crowds or a handful of people. I am an
        Introvert and I have often been labelled a ‘snob’. *Sniff sniff*
        I quit working since Year 2003 and I travel a lot with my husband when he goes on
        leisure or business trips.

        Most of my friends are younger than me and they keep me ‘young’ in my outlook on
        life. Well, by joining this club I hope to have more friends belonging to my same
        generation and hopefully find compatriots to reminisce about the good old days.
        By the way, I am not as staid as I sound here. :p

Hi Terence Seah and All Members of SilverHair’s Club,

My name is Andrew Chee and I am 46 years of age. I am glad to know that there is such a club with activities to encourage each other to be active when we grow older in age.

My interest is basically, like to eat, go for movies and watching English League/Champion League football matches. Occassionally, I do voluntary work with the Care Cancer Society, for their events.

My activities is family and works. I had went for a short term golf training (just to have some swing). Previously, my activities is bowling, cycling, badminton, table tennis and basketball. Now, lacking in stamina due to my heavy weight – in short, I am fat.

Comments – I can feel identified myself with you all in this SilverHair’s Club. It is good to encourage each of us to exercise and to live healthily and happily.

Thank you.

Frisna Tan – Profile

When I turned 18 in yester years, i looked at the mirror telling myself "you are now a blooming flower – gu niang  shi ba yi duo hua!". 2 days ago, when i was on the way to first time SHC meeting, i looked into the mirror again and telling myself "oh no, i’m now a silver hair!! how time flies….."

Frankly speaking, i was rather nervous going to Han’s on 12/5/09 not knowing what type of people I’m going to meet and whether i’d be awkwardly sitting alone in a corner….but luckily, the reality is not so. People are very friendly and warm. I enjoyed the gathering and made many new friends. It’s a great honor to meet the founder Mr. Terence Seah, Manager Dolly Lim. I’d like to thank Lilian Teo, Lena Ho, Jane Tan, Laura Wee, Richard Yee, Shirley Wee, Thomas Loh, Jane Loh for making me feel welcome as well as Paul & Peggy Kong for giving Pearl Goh – another 1st timer and myself a lift home. 

I like travelling (been backpacking on my own to many countries in my late 20’s), sports (all sort of ball games), reading and mind boggling games (e.g mahjongemoticon).

I’m married with 1 lovely daughter (sec 3), not so handsome husband and living in the east with a poodle named Julia. Still need to work to bring roti onto the table but during my spare time (which is a lot – thanks to my well paid, flexible hour jobs) i do volunteer work at schools/RC etc (count on me if you need someone to help).

Besides English & Mandarin, I speak fluent Malay/Indonesian, intermediate French and elementary Korean…

My name is. Tan Seok Wah.  Call me Susan Tan.  I was introduced  SHC website by a primary school teacher Jean Ong.  who works in the schooI which I am in.  I decided to join SHC, after reading the many activities organised by the club. I take this opportunity too, to thank Terence for his warm welcome.

I’m in the fifties as a I was born in the year of the rabbit. I’m working in a primary school in Jurong West as a teacher’s assistant . I enjoy  reading (thrillers, legal, criminal, ghost stories, Chinese Classics and Historical movies  and on TV during my free time) and cooking especially vegetarian cooking.

As my 2 sons are in the universities and busy with their studies and are spending less time with me and I’m hoping that by joining SHC, I would be able to make and meet new friends and to join in some of the activities.

Tonight I happen to be in SHC website and saw an article on St Joseph’s Home Visit on May 1st 2009.  My friend Jane Ong and I would like  to  volunteer as  helpers  in St Joseph’s Home..  I noticed on the volunteer list there is  a lady by the name of "Susan Tan."  That makes me want to join in as a volunteer helper and hope I can meet her on that day.

Genet Leong – Profile

Hi Everybody,
I am Genet (simply pronounced similarly as “Janet”). I have been called “Gar-net”, “Ger-net”, “Ge-net”, “Jeanette”…the list goes on.

Just joined SHC on 20th March and am looking forward to making friends with everybody and also to enjoy myself with the numerous activities here.  I am still reading up the many posts from all of you and figuring my way around this site.

In these short few days I have noticed that SHC members are a very friendly & helpful lot.  I am indeed impressed when a call for help for street directions yielded so much response.

Now to introduce myself and hope that you will bear with me (for being so lor-soh) :

Personal
Marital Status : Married
Age : ermmm…dun say can? Shy shy lah but definitely above 45 emoticon

My looks can be described as “1661” ie 16 when you c mi from behind, and 61 when u c mi from the front (hee hee) but seriously, please dun faint (from shock) when you c mi horr

My Home Sweet Home is in Clementi

Working in a German MNC in Kallang

Dialects spoken : Father tongue is Cantonese, Mother tongue is Teochew & Hubby tonue is Hokkien so in short I am a rojak.

Interests
My 1st love : Shopping
My 2nd love : Travel

Fitness :
I take up aerobics (hi-lo) classes, swim and try to jog as much as I can but I suffer from knee pains and doctor say its due to the cartilage wearing out. Haiz! Signs of old age. Maybe I will have to switch to Brisk Walking instead.

On the music scene :
I enjoy listening to music – rock, pop but no rap please and I always forget the lyrics emoticon 

I envy those who can dance well as I simply can’t dance due to my two left feet and I have no sense of rhythm.

BTW,  I have very bad memory in trying to associate names to faces and it takes me quite awhile to remember which name is to which face.  Perhaps a sign of dementia setting in.

Also if you happen to see me somewhere and I don’t acknowledge you,  pls do forgive me as I am both long & short sighted….Haiz! Another sign of old age emoticon

P.S. I hope I have posted my profile correctly in the appropriate category…if not velly solly…I still BluRR BluRR navigating my way around.
