There is no limit to the number of Apps eg Singpass, Maps, Grab, polyclinic appointment, weather forecast, MeWatch, etc.
All sessions are recorded live and available on YouTube for review.
Day/time: Thurs 10.30 am, starting 3 Jun 2021.
If u wish to be reminded, RSVP “Mobile Apps” whatsapp 9489 4360.

Thank you Howard for volunteering to conduct this session.

Morning everyone,came across this new clip that sad me but hope everyone to read with open mind.
During a recent zoom meeting, someone say that we must embrace the new technology with open arm – to like it or not also must accept it as move on. Cannot give any excuses but try your best through trial and errors.I strongly urge everyone to step out to try, to fail and to learn with persistence.
I hope those members who stay nearby those wet market, please help them to buy/order their food,taobao or share with your friends in order for the non digital hawker to sustain this difficult period of times.
ps : i will try my best to guide SHC members with this digital knowledge to equip their New order in our future zoom training.
Put on your request to Terrence what are the topic you like to learn : How to use
This forum is an online “meeting place” and it is used to engage with others or groups of the same interest gather together so they can discuss or debate, share knowledge and communicate with others about something or provide useful information. It is like a message board, where members create a POST and can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.
The Club provides a forum for SHCians interested to network with others. Today, session is indeed fruitful. Terence has arranged it to enable more SHCian to be engaging and create awareness on their current activities. Based on the recent feedback survey, numerous members do have difficulty in accessing the forum.
One member quoted – I am still blur what WordPress is – Simply put, WordPress is web publishing software SHC use to create her own website or blog.
How does forum work? A user creates a post. That post can be accessed by other users at any time. It can contain questions, opinions, images, videos, link and more. Users can respond to the post, which creates a dialogue other user can participate in also known as a Thread.
Thanks to Terence, Howard, Yoon Chin n Steve… we are here to share – please click on the video link to view more… We highly encourage members to register in Silverhairsclub.com and be a Contributor.
Keep a lookout for the next session…

Having a headache, a stomach ache or a flu may be easily cured after visiting the GP.
At our age, what does it mean when we are striked with a major sickness. We turn to our hospitals. There is excitement. Will we ever be cured? How do we overcome the costs of medication, doctor visits and hospital stays. What medication or treatment do we go through?
I am a diabetic for 20 plus years. I thought medication, diet and exercise would help or cure. But recently, my TTSH doctor told me I have to undergo dialysis. So, I am looking forward.
Unfortunately I didnt have the experience to slow kidney failure. I felt I should have started a diabetic support group for members who are diabetic. This group is not for advisors.
I have allocated every 1st Thur 2100 – 2200 hrs for diabetics to gather together. Join us from your home on Zoom. If u are diabetic, rsvp “Diabetic”.
Fyi,
2nd wk Thur 2100 hr High BP, Stroke, hypertension.
3rd wk Thur 2100 hr Cancer.
4th wk Dementia and Parkinson.
Closing date for RSVP 10 May 2021. Zoom link will be sent after.
EO Jean Lim. Recording is for the benefit of members unable to attend or who have sick relatives.

The 7th Zonal meet-up managed to make its way on Friday, 16 April 2021 to Boleh Boleh! located at 3155 Commonwealth Ave West #04-20/22, Singapore 129588. The session starts from 11am and end slightly after 3.30pm with the 2 EOs at their helms to make sure no one was left out.
We had 11 members signed up and all turned up for this makan and friendship bonding. We had to split into 2 tables to observe safe distancing measures. They are:-
Many interesting discussions on wellness & health, tours & holidays and current activities besides Zonal meet-up, were shared and discussed among members. I must say that mission accomplished for each and every one especially for me, longing for this catch-up with ex-colleague cum friend of 25years, MargaretS was to no avail till now.
Some of us need to leave by 2pm but both 2 EOs together with Cheng were still chatting while waiting for the remaining members to turn up.
Lastly, kudos to VincentH and ChanKN for their efforts towards this meet-up as well as Cheng for his company, we can see from photos of many smiling or laughing faces. BTW, do make a guess, where and when will the next Zonal meet-up be? Or why not give us an option or suggestion and liaise with ChanKN and he will create a future meet-up link… the continuation will be ongoing and happening again…
Cheers… DollyL

Many SHC members are into cooking and baking. They cook tasty dishes and desserts while others bake aromatic nonya cakes, kueh2 and bread. As an extension of our Yummy yummy and cooking programs, we hope to make available home cooking to fellow members.
To start, step 1, we will collate a group of members, who cook at HOME and are ready to sell to other members. We will start with 10 interested members.
This program is meant for homecooked food, not for commercial businesses. Participants advertise their dishes, determine price, collect payment and organise deliveries.
In step 2, we open this home cooking service to other SHC members. Members can order directly to the chefs or bakers, pay direct and arrange deliveries.
To participate in step 1, plse whatsapp 9489 4360, indicating cooking or baking interest. There is no fee. Closing date: once 10 participating members reached .

Have a Blissful Good Friday
May your Easter basket be full of Joy, Happiness & Peace
Today and Always
Having been stuck in Singapore for over a year and unable to pursue my favourtie three S’s (SCUBA diving, sailing, skiing) all of which requires travel, a consolatory fall back for me have been tennis and cycling. SHC used to have a very active tennis group which played regularly at Tanamera and a cycling group that cycled quite often too.
Anybody keen to revive these two groups? We can get together and crank it up.
For tennis I can get courts at Bukit Batok while for cycling, more and more cycling paths are being opened, the latest being the rail corridor to Rail Mall.
It is the beginning of the 2nd quarter of the year, known for beautiful spring weather when the Easter bunnies will make an appearance! A month of the growing season when trees and flowers beginning to bloom. It is also believed it is named after the Greek Goddess, Aphrodite. Old English – April.
History of April – How much do you know?
Those born in this month are either an Aries or a Taurus. Both are very different signs to one another – Aries being quite passionate and impulsive, while Taurus is much more stable and down-to-earth.
On behalf of SilverHairsClub – we would like to wish all SHCians April Babies a great
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
PS – do drop a line or 2 to send them wishes on their birthday month…

The 6th Zonal meet-up finally landed on Friday, 19 March 2021 at 3 Simei Street 6, #02-06 East Point, Singapore 528833. The session is from 1:30pm – 3:30pm which stretched beyond till 4:15pm.
We had 14 members signed up and turned up for lunch and friendship bonding. They are:-
Many interesting discussions on shares, wellness & health, tours & holidays when borders open were shared and discussed among members. Of cos, not forgetting the affordable set meals at Buddy. Everyone was too engrossed in the bonding moment where time to leave was no longer important. hahaha….
But, sad to say, all happy moment still needs to end at 4:15pm. However, nothing seems to hold back couple of members to accept the invite from AnneC to adjourn to DBR – Home Dining whereby we had a jolly good time served with special brewed healthy blue pea tea and pomelo fruit.
Thank you, AnneC and ChanKN for making this meet-up possible as we can see from photos of many smiling/laughing faces. Don’t believe, see for yourself lor…
Cheers… DollyL

SHC has several activities catered to the various interest of its members. During this pandemic Covid-19 period, walking was one of physical activities that is on-going. However, walkers were only allowed in groups of not more than 8 pax.
The Laughter Yoga+walks is one such group that conducts several scenic walks taking the lushes landscapes and waterways routes. Leisure walks, taking in the sights, discovering nature and KODAK moments are some of the highlights. I believe, there are other walking/hiking groups, but the level of intensity is beyond me. The route is much longer and the concentration of the terrain maybe tough for me too. More importantly, I enjoy the camaraderie of the Laughter Yoga+walks members. No hard pressure to keep up, but the discipline of each and every member is very important to adhere the safety and pleasure of other members.
On 27 Feb, our walk was unique as it was a ‘city walk’. EOs Irene, Lydia and Iris did a fantastic job planning and organising this walk. To organise these weekly walks, the EOs needs to gather the parks information such as the route, its intensity, toilet facilities. Not to mention meeting points, MRT/bus route, dinner place to chill out and the all important back up route, if it rains.
We began punctually at 4.30pm from Bugis MRT. Our 1st photo shoot, all aboard on the bullock cart pulled by Ox-y, since this is his year.
Our 1st destination was Blanco Fish Soup at Beach Road. The rich broth was flavorful and the chunks of meat from the fried fish head was fresh. Besides fish soup dishes, other yummy dishes such as ngoh hiang, omelette and fried vegetables were served too.
At Kampong Glam, Irene gave us a brief history of the place, and we spent some time to take in the area’s atmosphere. At the Sultan Gate, we admired the grandeur of the Sultan Mosque, followed by photo taking session. We came across a giant platform swing and the child within us had to have a go at it.
We walked our way towards Arab Street. The beautiful colourful Mediterranean wares added vibrancy to the street. The evening scene of Kampong Glam was so alive, touristy and full of night life. Muscat Street was laced with interesting eateries with locals and tourist having their meals al fresco style.
At Haji Lane, we could not resist dropping in the shops for its modern quirky items. This lane is known for catering to the youngsters as a hangout. On the walls, are several paintings and photo worthy graphics. At the end of Haji Lane towards Beach Road, tourists and locals were enjoying their drinks seated on bar stools, their tables filled with munchies, liquor and beer. They seemed to be having a good time, chatting and chilling out.
As we left Haji Lane, a more subdued road greeted us. We continued our walk towards Raffles City for McDonalds to cool down before heading home. It was so lovely to sit, chat and enjoy each’s company over soft ice cream, drink and food to round off the walk.
Though the walk was in the city, the walking along these routes, time mingling and looking out of each other in the crowd was equivalent to the time taken in the parks. Exhausted, I may be at the end of it, I totally enjoy it and look forward for my next walk with this group.
A big shout out to Irene, Lydia and Iris for efforts in organising our weekly walks.
Zonal hawker centres is a new SilverHairsClub program to enable you to meet old and new friends. From members’ feedback, we have collated the first 10 favourite and nearby hawker centres, near the MRT.
If you like to join one (1) Zonal Hawker Centre group, we will connect you with other members’s favourite or nearby hawker centre.
Eg, simply whatsapp text 9489 4360 RSVP “3” to join Zonal Hawker Centre Bugis Waterloo Street.
One option only. Closing date: 15 Mar 2021.

I would like to take this moment to thank both ChanKN and DollyL to initiate and organize Toa Payoh Zone as the 5th location. It is a food paradise within walking distance.
Original plan to hold it at TPY KouFu was switched to Fork & Spoon at the last hour due to mid-afternoon crowd bombarded mostly by seniors in a matured estate. Both ChanKN and myself were early trying to secure 2 long tables of 8 pax but failed. A quick decision to switch location was made coz I am confident there are afternoon vacant tables there… I quickly rushed over to recce and manage to get 2 long tables by 3:00pm.
After much hiccups, we [3] managed to gather 11 members to join us at Fork & Spoon. The remaining 5 stayed at KouFu and ordered their food instead which is good for us coz it is indeed a big group. Namely, DavidO n LilianC, AnnieS, SherryW and RichardW.
Photo images of both locations and food ordered showed a successful bonding amongst the members, from initial Koufu to Fork & Spoon and later adjourned to Gourmet Paradise for famous Soon Heng Rojak shows it all.
Meanwhile at Fork & Spoon – we received a SOS call that some of them were unsure of the location. Hence, we took the initiative to go and ferry them here. Though a bit disorganized in the location but am glad we can see smiling faces amongst them gleefully enjoy the remaining hours in deep entertaining discussion on travels, gardening tips and not forgetting SRVouchers on how to redeem it.
I must say to shout out loud or applaud to SherryW, our ardent Zonal fan, who took the effort to join the remaining team at Fork & Spoon.
Overall, this Zonal catch-up bonding is a salute to all participating member who made it happen. Images shows it all as the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
Looking forward to the next bonding…
Our Organizing Committee – ChanKN, DollyL n SallyF
