Just a quick note to say that I’m now back in Melbourne and to thank one and all who have made my stay in S’pore most fun and pleasant. My apologies to those who couldn’t fit into my schedule – I can only hope that another opportunity will present itself.<\/p>\n
To the many SHC members I’ve met, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your kind and generous hospitality. I am not mentioning any names here because I have met so many of you and I fear that I may miss out someone. But you know who you are, so please accept this as my personal “thank you”. I hope to repay your hospitality some day in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n
My observation while in S’pore has been that you have a great club in SHC. I have jokingly said that this is a “second childhood club”. And after joining the bike ride last Saturday, I feel the remark is actually quite apt. For example, those of us who didn’t have a chance to learn to ride a bike when we were younger are now able to do so. Members who can ride are helping members who can’t. Learners share their embarrassment and others encourage the learners. It all adds up to a lot of fun and camaraderie. This can only be healthy as our silver hairs get more silver (or in my case, the silver hairs fall off).<\/p>\n
The D&D was such great fun. Who would think that people regarded as “over the hill” can enjoy themselves so much. The games at the D&D prove this point. And the members who took part in the games – you have to agree that they are ready to laugh at themselves and not afraid of people laughing at them. Again, this is all healthy.<\/p>\n
There is so much more to write about but I’ll leave it at this point for now – holiday over lah, got work to do mah! I’ll share some more of my observations as we exchange and discuss in this thread.<\/p>\n
Again, thanks very much everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
