For a premier club of some 6,000 members, there's always someone making some achievements, sometimes hitting the headlines, but

quite often going unnoticed. This month, we learn of a few rare accomplishments of members, two of whom had just joined The Tanglin Club after a very long wait.

First, there's Denise Tan, a vivacious young lady who became a member two months ago. Denise is one of five TV presenters who will be hosting the National Day pre-parade segment along with the likes of Gurmit Singh,

at this year's National Day Parade.

A junior member in the news is Christel Bouvron who is one of 16 Singaporeans selected to participate in the Athens Olympic Games this month. The daughter of former GC member Andre Bouvron, Christel will be competing in her second Olympics in the women's 200-metres butterfly event. Also swimming for Singapore Is veteran Olympian and Club junior member Joscelin Yeo. Not to be outdone by the youngsters, two older members won kudos in different fields recently. A member of our Club for many years, Perlita Tiro last month

He is one of only 44 such ambassadors worldwide to hold ttiis appointment since the founding of the CPAFFC by the late Chinese Premier Zhou En-lai.

We're proud of you.

An even more recent new

member is Lorlmer Yong,a first

officer with Singapore Airlines, who joined the Club only last month. Lorlmer quietly made aviation history on 28 June when he was one of the four crew members who flew the first ever

non-stop commercial flight from Singapore to New York.

In a recent article, Keith Mugford winemaker of Moss Wood (for those members who did have the pleasure of attending the Moss Wood Wine Dinner at the Club in May, surely remember the conversation regarding the above subject) said "with the inconsistent seal of cork you get significant variation between bottles" and with an estimated 10% of wines worldwide being corked, "is there anywhere in the world you would tolerate such a high failure rate in your food, like milk, tea or soft drinks?"

Do they enjoy the same food, whip up the same recipes that have been handed down, sometimes surreptitiously, through the generations?

Of course they do! He convinced us of that.

The food was there for the tasting. And it was delicious and as exciting as is informal, chatty introduction Into the world of the 'Seranis'(Eurasian in Malay and what we fondly refer to them as).

The feel for the culture was further enhanced

by songs and colorfully dressed dancers

It was deja vu for me in a way. I enjoyed the event with a friend whose wedding reception venue Edwin decorated beautifully

A Talk On Eurasian Culture & Cuisine Thursday 17 June How skillfully Edwin Pereira opened a window to Eurasian culture and cuisine at

%#Ce managing director of Petals And Leaves, who is known by many in the hotel and retail industries for his innovative ways with flowers and for party events decor,

transported an audience of mostly ladies in

a packed Churchill Room a little way down memory lane.

forgotten community In our midst - still subscribe to the customs and traditions that

The sheer thought that neglect of my own feet could very well lead to a less active lifestyle for me, is enough reason for me to, from now onwards, treat my feet with "Tender Loving Care".

1 hope those who attended Brian's session feel the same way as i do. For members who missed out on this very informative talk, but would like to seek advice on foot problems, Brian can be contacted for consultations at Monarch Medica.

This statement by our guest speaker Mr Brian Tracey of Monarch Medica, that on an average, a human being walks a distance of two and a half times around the equator in our life time made me sit up and pay full attention to his presentation that was given over tea at the Raffles Room on Thursday 15 July.

Our two feet are the basic fundamental structure of the human

body, intricately made up of 52 bones, one-quarter of total bones in our body.

Although they are such an important feature in the make-up of the human physique, the sad truth is, they are usually the most neglected

and uncared for part of our bodies. Yes! 1 am just as guilty of neglecting my feet.

As a result of improper care and neglect, 75% of people will have

foot problems at some time in their lives. Foot pain can lead to a diminished sense of well-being. At an advanced stage, it causes the development of back and hip pain.

We learnt from Brian to treat

out feet with the respect they deserve ... most importantly

wearing well-fitting, good shoes. Many a nasty accident could most certainly have been

prevented with the use of proper footwear. We also

picked up useful tips when shopping for the correct type, dress shoes or sports shoes to buy, where to order custom-

We had been to New Zealand before but had always bypassed Dunedin for the more 'glamorous' locations of the South Island such as Queenstown, Mount Cook and Fiordland. This trip, we explored its Isolated

beaches and observed some of the world's rarest species, including Hooker's sea lions, yellow-eyed penguins and royal albatrosses, in their natural habitat.

Dunedin is a pleasant university city and we spent a couple of days taking in the sights and culture. The older parts around the Octagon and railway station were particularly interesting and a tour round the Speight's Brewery made a refreshing diversion.

However, the main focus for us was away from the city to the coast and breezy beaches with our four-wheel drive giving us access to remote locations via unsealed roads.

After admiring the spectacular views over Dunedin from the Otago Peninsula, we headed towards Hooper's Inlet. We stopped regularly to watch the bird life; pukekos in the meadows and dozens of black swans and herons on the mudflats. A flock of 10 royal spoonbills, with glorious white plumage and captivating bright yellow eyes majestically preening and searching for food, held us spellbound.

Continuing we arrived at two ancient volcanic hills known locally as the Pyramids. Climbing the smaller one, with Its protruding pipe-like lava, we had great views over the countryside and ocean. A marked path ied us through the sand dunes, densely covered in metre high

yellow lupins, to Victory Beach. En route, we spotted a stoat, known to steal penguin eggs, and a New Zealand falcon soaring gracefully on the thermals seeking its prey below.

Victory Beach is four kilometers long and was completely deserted. In splendid isolation with only the sound of gulls, oyster catchers and the rolling surf, we ambled towards

the rocks where fur seals were recovering from their fishing. Tired and bloated, the adults rested while the young galloped around. A few meters offshore at the southern

end of the beach, we saw the paddle wheel from the wreck of the steamship Victory.

Opposite, stretched out below the dunes, were two Hooker's sea lions. They lay peacefully head to toe with the male's flipper over the female's back. The tranquil scene changed as the couple awoke, roared and roughly mated before the male wandered off alone. What a unique experience to witness this performance by the world's rarest breed of sea lion, maybe only 10,000 survive!

Our next stop was Taiaroa Head, home to the royal albatross. At the observatory, which overlooks the world's only mainland nesting area, we admired these massive birds, with wingspans of up to three meters, guarding their nests. A 17 year-old 'toy boy' circled above us before doing a three point landing (two feet and a bill) next to his 40 year-old girl-friend. Below

a large colony of Stewart Island, shags nested on the rocky shore and on the cliff edge, we saw hundreds of spotted shags. The parents were feeding the chicks by disgorging food down their throats. Completing the scene,fur seals lay on the rocks and frolicked in the sea below. Even the seaweed was memorable, ten metre long strands of bull kelp looking like massive strands of dark green kway teow swaying on the tidai swell.

The protected yellow-eyed penguins are quite large at up to 70 cm. We chose to watch them from Boulder Beach because of its difficult access

26 The Tanglin Club

s

ÂŽÂŽches & Exotic and bedded down early in the dunes. Penguins started to come ashore three hours before dusk and we were fortunate to see them at

close quarters as they cautiously exited the sea and clumsily waddled across the beach constantly looking out for enemies. They somehow managed to scramble over the dunes and up the hillside to their nests to feed their young and partners.

Having spent a couple of days exploring the Peninsula, we ventured south to wind-swept

Nugget Point. Following the track, high above the coast, to the lighthouse we had a panoramic view of the treacherous terrain. From the viewing platform, we could see a variety of wildlife on the rocks and small islands. Elephant seals with their elongated noses congregate here along with Hooker's sea lions, fur seals and numerous coastal birds.

A 13 km diversion down yet another narrow, winding gravel road led to Cannibal Bay. Our family of three and a family of thirteen Hooker's sea lions were the only mammals present. A mature bull, weighing perhaps 400 kg and three metres long, with his harem and a group of youngsters owned the beach. The females mainly slept, the children played rough and tumble, and dad

gave the kids a friendly slap when things got out of hand. Absolutely fantastic!

Returning the next day, we saw two immature males playing in the sea. We followed as one came ashore to try his chance with a resting female. In no time, she was up and chasing him angrily away. We were at least thirty metres away but the frustrated, bad-tempered male starting charging towards us. Alone on an isolated beach, attacked by a sea lion - we quickly retreated.

We made several other enjoyable excursions, of

particular note was a trip north to the Moeraki Reserve which contains an unusual fifty- metre stretch of beach with almost spherical three metre boulders formed 60 million years ago on the seabed from a small hard core rather like pearls in oysters.

All told, a marvelous holiday and highly recommended. It Is a paradise for nature lovers looking for peace, quiet and wildlife normally only seen In zoos. The friendly people, excellent restaurants and New

Zealand's superb wine will ensure the evenings pass smoothly.

Chong Zhi Cheng won the prize for the maximum games won and yours truly, juggling a bottle of wine from the monthly Balut game, stole the prize for highest break - please don't ask for the score.

Inter-Club Balut 2004 We will have played the third game of this year's series at the SCO, when this

article is being read. The penultimate game of the season takes place on

Wednesday 11 August, hosted by the NUSS at their Kent Ridge location within the National University of Singapore compound.

We are then hopefully still participating with three teams as either one of our teams stands a fair chance of running away with this year's honours.

Running Is A More Effective Exercise Than Walking?

All exercise burns calories but different intensities of exercise

At lower intensities, such as a brisk walk, approximately 70% of the fuel used is from fat and 30% is from glucose. As intensity Increases more energy is obtained from glucose and when exercise intensity increases to the point where we are

the proportion of fat burned may be lower the overall calorie expended is higher due to the increased Intensity. But that doesn't mean running is always best.

And running isn't for everyone.

To get the most out of your walking, increase the intensity by adding hills (or an incline on the treadmill), increasing your stride and pumping your arms to increase speed.
