Extraordinary General Meeting 2018

Discussion centres aroundChangi Golf Club, Laguna National

By Kathy Neo

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) was held on Dec 3, 2018 at Keppel Hall, with the agenda to receive the report presentation of the Keppel Club: Beyond 2021 survey from the research company and to discuss the survey results with members. In attendance were 178 principal members.

Mr David Black, Managing Director of Blackbox Research, the independent company the Club commissioned to conduct the survey, kickstarted the meeting with a presentation of the results of the survey that closed in September.

President Lai Mun Onn and Vice-President Eric Tan updated members on the Club’s possible collaboration with Laguna National Golf and Country Club and merger with Changi Golf Club respectively. Both developments were hot topics.

Survey resultsIn a nutshell, the survey revealed that the Club’s merger with Changi Golf Club (CGC) was the respondents’ top choice (41 per cent), followed by utilisation of the Club’s reserves to the end of 2021 or beyond (32 per cent).

In answer to a member’s query on the derivation of the percentage – 68 per cent – of the respondents wishing for the Club to continue in one form or another, Mr Black explained that as the rest of the votes were spread out among the

other three options each signifying the continuation of the Club for social and/or golf facilities, it was thus logical to conclude that 68 per cent did not wish for the Club to close.

The suitor in Changi Golf ClubNaturally, our proposed merger with Changi, the top choice of the survey respondents, claimed much attention.

Vice-President Eric Tan, who co-chairs the Joint Merger Task Force with Changi’s Vice-President, updated members on the following:• CGC held a town hall meeting in

September with some 60 members to update on its land lease and the proposed merger with Keppel Club.

• The key point to note was that CGC members did not voice their refusal to merge.

• One concern raised was on golf traffic and management after merger, another was on the impact on CGC’s identity.

• The Joint Task Force has deliberated on the CGC members’ questions, and is preparing the answers to them.

• A timeline has been set, with an aim to finalise the necessary before April 2019. Keppel members will be updated accordingly by then.

In response to some members’ urge to expedite the merger talks, President Lai Mun Onn added that the next immediate step of the Joint Merger Task Force would

be to deliver a joint presentation to CGC members.

The new pursuer in Laguna National Members were excited to hear about our possible collaboration with Laguna.Calling it a “more interesting development”, the President first explained that Laguna could not be included in time as an option for members’ consideration as it was only a recent development initiated sometime after the survey was commissioned.

He added that Laguna has shown keen interest in collaborating with Keppel Club in the last few months. Both clubs have begun fostering a warm relationship and there had been two interclub friendly games concluded, with the next one scheduled in the first quarter of 2019 at Laguna’s renowned World Classic Course.

Further updates he provided included:• Laguna has renewed their land lease,

due to expire in 2021, for their two 18-holes courses up to 2040.

• It is uncertain how many of their 2000 over members would continue with them after 2021, especially given the present-day diminishing interest of young people for golf. This is one among other issues it is likely facing.

• It would be a question of dollars and cents for Keppel members should we decide to take up one or both of Laguna’s 18-hole courses, and whether for 10 or 20 years.

• Factors to consider include how many Keppel members want to go along, how much top-up is required, and what would be the selling price of the converted membership.

Although time is a constraint, the President urged members to be patient as the Club needs time to crunch the numbers with Laguna to come up with the best deal possible for our members. He said: “We are trying to chase them a bit, to see whether we can conclude something before our next AGM.”

The EOGM concluded at about 8.30pm, and members partook of the buffet dinner provided by Tee Top.

Joining the Management Committee on stage is Mr David Black (fifth from left) of Blackbox Research.

The Year of the Pig is here!By Guo Qianping

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival, symbolises new beginnings. According to the lunar calendar, 2019 is the Year of the Pig, the twelve and final zodiac animal. In Chinese culture, pigs are a symbol of wealth, so the new year promises to bring a “wealth” of opportunities and experiences alongside financial gains.

It is also believed that your zodiac sign influences your personality. People born in the Year of the Pig are regarded as easy-going, honest and sincere – traits that are found in abundance in our Keppel Club employees. Let’s find out what some of their resolutions might be!

“I aim to be better than last year in whatever I’m doing. I also hope for more holidays.”Trecia Pang, Human Resources

“I hope to strike 4D and use the money to buy a big house for my family!” Ivy Ng, Jackpot

“At this age, it’s more important to stay cheerful and active. My children are all grown up and married, so I have few worries. To me, work is a form of exercise for the mind and I wish to take it easy and live one day at a time.” Richard Ho, Housekeeping

“I wish that all Club members and staff will be happy and healthy. I’d also like to continue working smoothly with my colleagues and maintain good friendships with everyone.”Nelson Liu, Admin

Ingredients:

100g dried shrimps, rinsed and soaked until softened

6 dried Chinese mushrooms, soaked in hot water until softened and cut into strips

4 cups of glutinous rice, washed, soaked for 15 minutes and drained

4 cloves of garlic, minced

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper powder

Chicken stock

Oil

Contributed by Lilian Kwok,Newsletter Sub-Committee member

This version of glutinous rice is a favourite among Chinese households and usually makes its appearance during festive occasions. Glutinous rice has a chewy and sticky texture with a slightly sweet taste. The rice’s distinct flavour can be further enhanced with ingredients such as dried shrimps and mushrooms, making it suitable for savoury dishes. This Lunar New Year, follow these easy instructions and whip up a dish that your visitors will surely love!

For the garnish:

½ cup roasted peanuts with skin

3 chillies, cut into halves, seeded and sliced into thin strips

Fried shallots

Shallot oil

Spring onions, chopped

Note: One cup refers to a volume of about 180 ml.

Method:

1. Strain the softened dried shrimps and set aside the liquid. Combine this liquid with chicken stock to make four cups of the liquid.

2. Heat 60ml of oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the dried shrimps until fragrant and oil starts to ooze out and bubble. Add in garlic and lower the heat to medium, before adding in the pork belly, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Continue to fry the mixture for another two minutes.

3. Add in glutinous rice and mix thoroughly with the fried ingredients.

4. Reduce to low heat. Slowly add the combined liquid and stir-fry until the liquid is absorbed.

5. Remove the glutinous rice from heat and transfer it to a glass tray. Place it in the steamer and steam for 30 minutes or until cooked.

6. Remove from steamer and garnish with the peanuts, spring onions, fried shallots and chilli strips. Drizzle with shallot oil and serve warm.

One of the joys of travelling is to just stand and stare. This may sound paradoxical – after all, to travel is to move, as many travellers embark on a journey of learning more about the world around themselves.

But just imagine watching, from a cruise ship, huge chunks of ice falling off a glacier amidst deafening roars and ocean waters splashing 10 to 15 metres high or more in Alaska, and then waiting patiently to see what happens next.

Blessed with fine weather in the day on Dec 15, 83 golfers gathered to celebrate Christmas ahead of time on our golf course, with some (and their buggies) dressed for the festive occasion.

Two ladies, Ms Kaori Tamura and Ms Isabel Tang, bagged the best-dressed prizes this year, while the best-dressed buggy, the fantastic effort of Mr and Mrs Philip Duckworth, stood out for its elegant simplicity. The organising committee had a hard time deciding on the winners indeed.

For dinner, participants were rewarded with a delectable BBQ platter at Tee Top, and comfortably sheltered from the sudden downpour. Prizes were also given out to the lucky draw winners and best golfers of the festive tournament (see Golf Results on page 21).

The Club thanks all who participated, especially those who made the extra effort to inject a cheerful Christmas vibe through their buggy decoration and special outfit. Please do join us again next year!

New Year Countdown Party 2018

Kung Fu fever: celebrate like it’s 2019!

Colourful confetti and shouts of “Happy New Year!” filled the air as the clock struck 12 midnight, the start of 2019.

By Guo Qianping

At every New Year’s Eve countdown venue, it is almost inevitable that everyone would meet to exclaim over how fast the months flew by, how that particular year had been for them, and what they hoped to achieve in the new year. And this was no different at Keppel Hall, where our very own countdown party lived up to the theme of “Night of the Kung Fu Legends” by unleashing Kung Fu fever on the audience.

The area outside the Reading/Heritage Room had been transformed with backdrops depicting Chinese temples (complete with cosplayers dressed as Shaolin monks and other martial arts characters). There was even a large statue of the titular character from Kung Fu Panda. Partygoers were unable to resist doing martial arts poses in their selfies, causing much guffawing and full-bellied laughter as a result. The onlookers were also left in awe at the

Other forms of entertainment included a Bruce Lee impersonator as well as mentalist Nique Tan, both of

Excitement grew as dinner was served and the hands of the clock inched closer to 12am. At the stroke of midnight, the partygoers launched their confetti cannons in a collective cry of “Happy New Year!” Shaking hands, hugging and exchanging best wishes with one another, everyone was keen to see what 2019 would bring.

Keppel Junior Golf Camp 2018

Our budding young talents sharpen their skills

Golf pro Adrian Tan with his beaming group of young participants.

By Kathy Neo

Seven junior enthusiasts got together for an educational 1.5-day golf camp on Dec 9 and 10, facilitated by golf pro Adrian Tan of Golf Line School.

The children enjoyed a good mixture of theory and practice, including a lowdown on golf rules and etiquette, how to prepare for Handicap test, range/short game skills review and enhancement, as well as skills challenge on the course. On the second day, the parents had a special lunch session at Sea Scent with Singapore Golf Association’s (SGA) general manager Jerome Ng. Mr Ng shared valuable insights on SGA’s plans and training programme for Singapore’s budding juniors. The eager parents listened intently and took away some useful tips for the development of their young ones’ golfing future. This was the second time golf pro Adrian Tan facilitated the camp. He commented: “The kids particularly enjoyed the exclusive use of the golf course today (Monday), truly having a candidly good time honing their skills and interacting with their peers

without being under the watchful eyes of their parents, for once.” On the number of participants, he added: “If the group were a little bigger, say about 10 or 12, it would be a little more fun for the younger ones. However, a smaller group has an advantage as well – I am able to give more attention and guidance to each child.” The Golf Office thanks the parents for allowing the participation of their children, and hopes this has been a useful and fun holiday activity for our juniors.

SGA Junior Golf Challenge

Bryan Heng secures spotin the Grand Finale

Keppel Junior Bryan Heng celebrating his hard-earned victory.

By Guo Qianping

Keppel Junior Bryan Heng made his mark in the fifth

leg of the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) Junior Golf

Challenge – Laguna National Series, clinching the top

spot in the Division 2 Boys Stableford and knocking his

rivals out of the running for the Grand Finale.

The event ran its course on Nov 13, 2018 on the Masters Course at Laguna National Golf & Country Club. This is the last leg before the Grand Finale on March 17. The top two juniors in each division will move on to the Grand Finale.

A competitive series for junior golfers aged 14 and under, the SGA Junior Golf Challenge is decided via Strokeplay format for Division 1 and Stableford format for Division 2 over a round of nine holes. Besides improving the form and mental fitness of the young golfers, it is invaluable in preparing them for future competitions, helping them harness their personal driving forces to propel themselves past hurdles. The 2018/19 series was renamed the Junior Golf Challenge – Laguna National Series, due to being presented by Laguna National Golf & Country Club.

That day, Bryan’s driving and short game helped him tremendously. During the first six holes, he lagged behind his competitor by three strokes and at first, it seemed doubtful as to whether he could catch up.

But diligence and focus gave Bryan the motivation to press on, and in a burst of energy and optimism, he was able to overcome the deficit and surpass his competitor.

The victory was also telling of the intensive training that Greg Anketell, Bryan’s coach, had put him through. The numerous times he trained and the precious opportunity to build up his stamina at Greg’s fitness class honed his playing skills, which came to fruition at the tournament.

“I’m very proud of his success,” Bryan’s father, Mr Eugene Heng, said of his son. “I know he has been working very hard to excel in golf.”

When asked about the preparations and goals that Bryan has for the Grand Finale, Mr Heng said: “Bryan plans to set aside more time for rigorous training and working out his strategy. He also aims to be more confident without putting too much pressure on himself to perform during his matches. His goal is to play with enjoyment and not take the game too seriously, as that can hurt his chances of winning.”

The Singapore Golf Association (SGA) Junior Golf Tournament 2018, played on the Jack Nicklaus Golf Course at Bintan Lagoon Resort from Nov 23 to 25, saw a total of 42 juniors competing with one another in a test of ability and stamina.

Keppel members Guo Junxi and Jillian Kuk did well in their respective divisions, with Junxi emerging champion (Best Gross) in the Girls “B” Division and Jillian achieving the second runner-up position (Best Gross) in the Girls “A” Division.

The two-round strokeplay contest was a welcomed challenge for the participants, who had to navigate undulating terrains and tight greens while aiming for good and clear shots.

In the Girls “B” Division, Junxi and her opponent Jaymie Ng were neck-to-neck, having shot similar scores of (84, 85, 169) over the two days. It was a most exuberant and thrilling battle as each girl, unwilling to relinquish victory to her competitor, did her best to be the one in the lead. Eventually, Junxi’s efforts at making excellent strokes paid off and she was declared the winner, obtaining yet another trophy as visual proof of her talent.

“I won over Jaymie by countback on the front nine. If it was the back nine, she would have won,” Junxi said, expressing surprise at her win. She added: “I kept doffing my irons but luckily, my short game saved me.”

Jillian’s performance in the Girls “A” Division was nothing to scoff at either. Banking on skill factor and determination, she managed to overcome many of her

Family members who came to support and cheer on the juniors were definitely not left out of the activities. As an added bonus, the parents got to play rounds of golf at the Ian Baker Finch and the Jack Nicklaus Golf Course, which enhanced their appreciation and understanding of the challenges that the juniors faced during the tournament.

The event continued to provide a springboard for the participants to gauge conditions and factors that could affect their play. Congratulations to all winners of the tournament!

2018 Salamanca Inn Women’s Amateur Championship

Shannon Tan beats the competition

By Guo Qianping

Keppel member Shannon Tan, also a member of the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) Development Squad, placed Singapore in the spotlight when she won the 2018 Salamanca Inn Women’s Amateur Championship of Tasmania, defeating Isabelle Simpson of Queensland 9 and 8 in the finals.

Held on Nov 27 at the Tasmania Golf Club, the event is open to players of both genders of any age and is played over a 36-hole strokeplay qualifier with the top 16 men and 16 women qualifying for the match-play rounds.

The weather conditions were unfavourable, with strong winds and rain during most of the rounds. Shannon started off well in round one, taking a one-shot lead, but round two did not go as smoothly – her results of 76 and 79 (155) caused her to tie second with Hallie Meaburn of Tasmania whose results were 80, 75 (155), and Isabelle Simpson of Queensland whose results were 77, 78 (155), to qualify for the quarter finals.

In the quarter finals, Shannon overcame Sarah Johnstone of Tasmania to win 6 and 5, setting the stage for a semi-final showdown with the top qualifier, Fiona Xu of New Zealand.

It was closely contested. Both players did not disappoint, tussling as hard as they could for a spot in the finals. They proved evenly matched and Shannon fought back from two down to force a sudden death playoff. Her big break came on the 20th hole, where she scored a birdie, getting the better of Fiona and reserving her place in the finals.

The 36-hole finals saw Shannon going up against Isabelle Simpson of Queensland. With courage and persistence, she ultimately triumphed over Isabelle 9 and 8.

Mr Desmond Tan, Shannon’s father, felt that her victory was a great confidence boost and an affirmation that her

training had paid off. According to him, she would wake up at 6am every morning for fitness training and a short game until 8am, before continuing her training at the range and course after classes.

Expressing happiness at his daughter’s passion for golf which started when she was six years old, Mr Tan recalled the times she used to train on our Club’s course. “I’m grateful that Keppel’s green committee has been taking care of Shannon since she was young and giving her the opportunity to cultivate an interest in golf in a friendly environment,” he said.

Their family has also been supportive of Shannon’s playing, going as far as to move to Gold Coast, Australia, so that she can gain exposure to better golf aspects.

Shannon’s victory is an encouraging start, paving the path ahead for the development of junior golf.

Among podium finishers, Keppel members Andre Chong and Justin Kuk continue a strong lineage of former Keppel Juniors by finishing 1-2 in the Boys Overall Best Gross category of the recently concluded 27th SICC / DBS Junior Invitational Golf Championship (“SICC/ DBS”). Keppel member Nicole Mok finished as the first runner-up in the Girls “A” Division with a cumulative score of 246 (85, 82, 79).

The championship was held from Dec 4 to 6, 2018, on SICC’s long and undulating New Course. The challenges of playing the New Course were compounded by several stoppages due to inclement weather and the frequent forays of wild animals such as monkeys. Unsurprisingly, a number of participants did not complete their pre-tournament practice rounds and some withdrew after the first day’s play.

On the final day of play, the championship flight comprised Kentaro Nanayama from Indonesia, who is the current FCG Callaway World Junior Championship winner, with a three- shot lead over Justin while Andre was a further two shots behind. However,

Kentaro’s lead was quickly shaved to one shot when he double bogeyed the first hole. It was not his day as he continued to drop shots, gradually falling out of contention.

Meanwhile, Justin and Andre made the turn at one over, allowing Justin to take a two-shot lead going into the turn. The see-saw battle continued as Andre picked up a birdie on Hole 14 whilst Justin dropped shots on Holes 13 and 14, allowing Andre to take a one-shot lead. A weather delay was then called when the championship flight was at Hole 15 for over an hour and the stage was set for the fireworks to come.

After the rain delay, on the par five Hole 16, both Andre and Justin were on the green in two and had eagle putts. When Justin lipped his 30-foot eagle putt for a tap in birdie and Andre dropped his 20-foot eagle putt, Andre took a two-shot lead into the 17th hole. On the drivable par four Hole 17, Andre laid up to wedge distance whilst Justin hit a big draw with his driver to land just off the green. When Justin chipped to tap in distance for birdie, Andre drained his own 10-foot birdie putt to maintain a two-shot lead going into the 18th hole.

On the par five Hole 18, both Andre and Justin hit good drives. Andre opted to lay up whilst Justin decided to force the issue by hitting a 235-metre three-wood to the right side of the green. When Justin chipped to tap in distance for birdie, Andre responded by draining a 15-foot putt to maintain his two-shot lead for the win in front of a large gallery. Given the level of difficulty of playing the New Course’s steep terrain, Andre’s final day score of four under 68 is indeed remarkable.

The 27th rendition of the SICC / DBS tournament was memorable due to the gladiatorial battle between Andre’s power and Justin’s precision and the highest quality clutch finishing by both players, not to mention that it will be the last time that a tournament will be played on the New Course before it is renovated.

It is a testimony to the training and development efforts by the Singapore Golf Association of its junior squad players and the constant support of home clubs of junior golf, that we reap the harvest of having quality players today like Andre, Justin, Nicole and the other Keppel Juniors who had participated.

Long may our Keppel junior golf continue!

HSBC Youth Golf Challenge 2018

Keppel Juniors show their mettle again

At the HSBC Youth Golf Challenge that took place from Dec 10 to 12, 2018 at Warren Golf & Country Club, Keppel Juniors came through among podium finishers in three of the four divisions of the second leg of the HSBC Youth Golf Challenge (“HSBC”).

Both current and former Keppel Juniors featured heavily in the Boys “A” division, where three out of four podium finishers are Keppel members. Arguably Singapore’s hottest junior boy golfer at present, SGA Development Squad (DS) member Sean Lee powered through in the final round with a two under 69 with a three-day aggregate score of 213 (71, 73, 69) winning by three strokes over Keppel member Andre Chong.

On the final day, first runner-up and fellow DS player Andre shot that week’s lowest score of three under 68, while third runner-up and fellow DS player Justin Kuk, who was the first day’s joint leader, finished with a credible three over 74 due to scoring five birdies to offset a train wreck quadruple bogey on the par five Hole 8.

In the Boys “B” division, Keppel’s Jake Foley, who was the second round’s leader, missed out on retaining the Boys “B” title by a single stroke. In the end, Jake had to settle with a first runner-up position with a three-day cumulative score of 225 (76, 74, 75). Jake, who had won at the Singapore Junior Golf Championship at Seletar earlier in the year and has been representing Keppel in the Premier ICL team, will be going home soon and will be very much missed.

In the Girls “B” Division, Keppel member and SGA Junior Squad player Jillian Kuk finished as first runner-up with a three-day cumulative score of 234 (80, 77, 77), 11 shots ahead of the

second runner-up. Despite playing valiantly, Jillian could not bridge the gap to catch up to Girls “B” winner DS player Angel Lim, whose winning score of 220 (75, 75, 70) was also four shots better than the best player from the Girls “A” Division. This made Angel the best female player for this leg of the HSBC Youth tournament.

Also, well done to all our other Keppel Juniors who prevailed despite many delays by the rain. These results again show the strength of Keppel’s former junior programme and the talent pipeline that Keppel has developed up to now.

We hope that these achievements will encourage our next generation of Keppel Juniors to continue to strive and persevere in this wonderful sport.

Band Showcase 2018

Loosening up to the sound of music

By Kemmy Lim, Swimming and Entertainment Sub-committee member

For the second year running, Keppel

Club teamed up with The National

University of Singapore Society

(NUSS) to present this fabulous

programme - the Band Showcase.

The 2017 event, which was organised by the Club’s Swimming and Entertainment Sub-committee, was held on home ground at our very own Keppel Hall. To reciprocate the favour, NUSS threw open the doors of their Della and Seng Gee Hall on Nov 30, 2018 and welcomed all Keppel members with warmth and friendliness.

Judging by the number of participants who had shown up in 2017 to display their dancing and singing abilities,

Our members expressing their joy at a brilliant night out with friends.

The continuous jamming meant there was never a dull moment of silence. Stealing a moment in the spotlight.

the event was a huge success then, and this accomplishment was reproduced in full in 2018. For both years, tables were sold out early to the extent that some had to be put on the waiting list due to overwhelming popularity.

A band of members from Keppel, comprising the music enthusiasts who jam at Little Harry’s Pub every Monday, took to the stage first. With every eye upon them and being presented with the wonderful chance to show off their musical talents, all 13 singers rose to the occasion and sang their best songs. They got the crowd on its feet and everyone moved, clapped and danced to the tempo.

The energetic mood and lively ambience carried over to the second half

of the evening, courtesy of the playing by the second band which was one of the many bands from NUSS.

But it was towards the end of the event that the engagement factor was upped and the attendees really got in on the fun. Some of them had brought along their own guitars, and they eagerly basked in the spotlight while jamming.

Our Keppel members demonstrated the depth of their support for this event through their participation, by filling the hall halfway to its full capacity. All in all, they had an excellent time, supporting our “homegrown” talent whilst enjoying the food and entertainment.

Convenor vs Captain’s Team Challenge 2018

Convenor’s team retains Lai Mun Onn Shield

By Ashok Kumar, Assistant Manager (Tennis)

The exciting annual Convenor vs Captain’s Team Challenge for the Lai Mun Onn Shield, an in-house fixture, fell on Dec 8, 2018. In its 16th year and still going strong, the event included rounds of golf and tennis. Tennis Convenor Kamal Ehsan was in charge of the Convenor’s team, while Tennis Sub-committee member Clarence Loh took the leadership spot on the Captain’s team.

Although there was a tendency for the weather to get wet and dreary at the end of the year, the participants had earned Lady Luck’s favour and Dec 8 stayed dry throughout, allowing the event to proceed smoothly.

The morning session started with a golf game that involved four flights totalling 14 players. It was a spirited fight and an extremely close battle. Ultimately, the Convenor’s team was declared as the champion, winning by a marginal two-and-a-half points to one-and-a-half points.

The tennis matches proved to be an even closer battle, with most going down to the wire. The contest gradually ended in a draw as both teams earned 10 points each. It was indeed a gallant effort by all the participants, which also strengthened the ties of friendship between them.

Unfortunately for the Captain’s team, the minor difference in the scores obtained during the earlier golf game was enough

to tip the scales, and victory went to the Convenor’s team. By a mere one point, the Convenor’s team managed to hold on to the Lai Mun Onn Shield. This has been one of the closest and most interesting affairs ever since the event started in 2002!

The dinner cum prize presentation ceremony took place at the Sea Scent pavilion. Presiding over it was the Club’s Vice-President Eric Tan, who was also the Guest-of-Honour. Among the dishes served were delicious chilli crabs, which were quickly polished off by everyone present.

The hectic period of 2018 had finally come to a close, and the players went home with good memories of yet another fulfilling year.

39th Annual Bowling Championship

Battling it out on the bowling lane

Our bowlers undaunted by the competition and preparing to play their best.

By Raziman Rahman, Social and Sports Manager

Already in its 39th year and still going strong, the Annual Bowling Championship, which took place at Singapore Polytechnic Graduates’ Guild on Nov 24, 2018 attracted a good turnout.

It was a fiercely contested event as the participants strove for the top spots. The leading bowlers even swapped rankings a couple of times.

Eventually, the Men’s Open Champion, Chua Yong Chee, and the Ladies’ Open Champion, Susan Tan, succeeded in

edging out their closest competitors at the very end, while

the title of Mixed Graded Champion went to the Billiards and

Bowling Convenor Michael Goo.

The infectious celebratory mood resumed on Dec 1

back at the Club, where a victory banquet was held to honour

the winners. It also served as a meaningful get-together for the

bowling fraternity as they caught up over a superb buffet spread

and cheered when the trophies were being presented.

Swim Clinic

Getting up close with Emily Seebohm

By Guo Qianping

The swimming pool had never looked more inviting than on Nov 14, 2018, when Australian swim star Emily Seebohm dropped by Keppel Club to talk to our young swimmers and provide them with helpful tips despite her busy schedule.

The well-attended swim clinic organised by WaterJoy Swim School was timely, seeing as the FINA Swimming World Cup 2018 was around the corner then.

What a stir Emily caused with her presence! Scrambling to their seats, the children were all ears as the 26-year-old introduced herself and offered some insight into her daily lifestyle. Her training schedule, for instance, includes eight swim sessions,

three horse-riding sessions and two pilates lessons per week. At the age of 14, Emily made Australia’s World

Championship Team. Since then, she has picked up many medals in various swimming tournaments worldwide. As she told her interested audience, she enjoys healthy competition. “The more you race, the better you will become. Training may improve your stamina but nothing beats actual racing experience in the pool. I grew a lot from my bad experiences,” she said.

After the Q&A segment, a quick autograph session and a thorough warm-up segment, the children took to the pool under the watchful eyes of their parents. With Emily’s guidance, they came to a better understanding of their swimming techniques.

“Breathe in and out through your nose. Now move your neck gently in either direction, then move your shoulders, stretch your arms to the side and bend your elbows. Feel what’s happening to your body…” In a calm voice and using slow and deliberate gestures, yoga instructor Mr Michael Choong guides his students through various exercises as soothing music plays in the background. With the beautiful scenery reflected in the studio’s mirrors, there is no better environment to clear one’s mind and re-energise. To Michael, the routine comes as naturally as breathing since he started dabbling in yoga more than 10 years ago. At one of his previous workplaces, employees were given the option to participate in group fitness sessions and he attended the yoga class when persuaded to by a loved one. Being the only man in the class, he was reluctant to take it seriously at first. But it turned out to be a game-changer – the trainer ended up being his mentor, opening a new career path for him. The former chef, who used to be from the hospitality industry, shared: “Life is a journey and this journey is different for every individual. I believe in a sequence; when the time is right, it will be a turning point.” Incorporating this philosophy into his teaching, Michael helps the participants in his class to appreciate the importance of their own health by encouraging them to be physically and mentally present, and to develop their self-awareness via breathing and relaxation techniques. As Michael explained, the main purpose of his lessons is not about doing complicated poses. Rather, it’s to give all participants the opportunity to be active, especially if they have not been moving much at home or at work. “This lack of movement may not have registered in our minds. Practice enables us to be more conscious about that fact,” he added. When asked whether yoga increases flexibility, Michael said: “Yes, but the problem is that people expect a few classes to make them more flexible instantly. That’s not possible unless you practice constantly. You need discipline and time.”

The heart of yoga:finding yourself

Instructor:Mr Michael Choong

“What makes yoga different is how it shifts awareness to your lifestyle habits and lets you understand what is going on beneath the surface,” he elaborated, comparing a lesson to a door that can be unlocked; once an individual enters, he or she is free to explore their own path.
