Aug/Sep 14 - Singapore Swimming Club
SPLASH august / september 2014 43 44 SPLASH august / september 2014 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Happy Birthday, Singapore! O nce again, August is the time of the year when the island is abuzz with pulsating beat as we approach Singapore’s 49th National Day celebration. In 1966, Singapore celebrated its 9 August National Day for the first time. The picturesque fireworks and the aerial flypast by the Singapore Armed Forces during the parade is a sight not to be missed. Similarly, Singapore Swimming Club (SSC) has come a long way since six swimming enthusiasts got together at the end of 1893 to start a swimming club. Over 121 years, SSC has evolved into a family club of 8,000 accounts comprising seniors, families, term and junior members. We are nearing the completion of development work in the Club; the retrofitting and corrective work will enhance the Club further. To add new dining options to the Club, the new Cabana has opened its doors to members in July, just in time for National Day Celebrations on 9th August. Chef Deo, who is from Mauritius, has put together a scrumptious menu targeting kids, young executives and those young at heart. It will be a full-day carnival with gelato, popcorn, candy floss, an array of mussels and Western menu. Entertainment programs will include a DJ who will spin the latest songs, games, face painting, street juggling act and even meeting iron-man! Do register and join us for this fun-filled event. We have rolled out the new Palms menu to whet your appetite. From listening to your feedback, we have retained some favourite dishes such as the Silver Fish Fried Rice and Beef Hor Fun. Satay can be ordered by half a dozen and we meticulously added Asian food to the kids’ choice. Don’t miss the new crispy pumpkin balls and pair the dish with beer. It’s simply gorgeous! We are indeed pleased with the positive feedback from members on our Chef’s good culinary skills. At D’Sports and D’Tanjong, our football fans have faithfully followed the screening of the 2014 FIFA World Cup till the final match. The ambience at the screening venue was delightful and it was good to see so many likeminded members mingling and watching the games despite the time zone difference. Lastly, on the operations front, if you are looking for a retail business outlet, we have a floor space of approximately 1,329 square feet for lease at the North Wing area. It is situated on the second level with full height glass windows overlooking a magnificent pool. The venue is ideal for retail or a bar lounge. Do contact the Club if you are interested to view it and explore further. On our Nation’s birthday, may we come together and move forward and progress with Singapore. I wish you all the best for a happy National Day.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE Season of Restoration I n my recent holiday I stayed in what was formerly a row of dilapidated shop houses painstakingly restored to its once upon a time glory. It was in my opinion an exquisite piece of art in itself but comfort wise it could not match the contemporary hotels as it had not originally been designed to serve as a hotel. I also dined in a family run Peranakan restaurant which was originally a Peranakan house. It was no humble hearth but was a well restored piece of cultural heritage which the owner and his family still lived in at the time of our visit. The owner told me that he had spent a fortune on the restoration and had run out of funds when it came to replacing the wooden door with its intricate carvings. He settled for a similar floral designed metal door as replacement. Though it is not of the same design as the interior, it could pass as the original to the casual observer and it served its purpose nonetheless. Our corrective work for the Cabana and the Multi-storey car park (MSCP) is drawing to an end. This corrective work is also very much a restorative work too – to restore the affected building and structures to their function as originally intended. As you enjoy your meals, you may now hear the shrieks of delight from the children enjoying the weekend children programs our Social Department has in place for them at The Cabana. If the process of getting the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) goes as planned the MSCP should be fully operational latest by middle of November 2014, depending on how soon the relevant authorities respond. I have a deep admiration and respect for the restorer – whether it is for a prized painting or a piece of cultural heritage like the restored shop house I stayed in for my holiday and the Little Kitchen I dined at. The restorer needs to have patience and a clear vision of the desired outcome amidst the howl of opinions that he and his team hear along the way. The restorer also needs the courage to know that while he and his team can do their best within the constraint of time and resources there will still be sharp criticism instead of appreciation. The arm chair critics can easily pulverize a wonderful piece of restored work with a stroke of their pen or with some prejudicial comments. In most cases however, the gratification for the restorer lies in the simple joy of seeing happy faces of people who are able to enjoy the functionality of the restored work. It has been a long and arduous two-year journey for members of the Development Committee (DC 612) and the Management Committee. They pored over reams of documents and site plans, consulted the experts and went through the stringent process of evaluating the best way forward to arrive at where we are today. To say it was not an easy task is truly an understatement - but they have done it. I take my hat off to them for their tenacity and drive. What lies ahead to make this a more comprehensive restorative work is the restoration of frayed relationships. Restoring trust and emotion is certainly a more challenging task than repairing inanimate buildings. I hope with the restored Cabana and MSCP, it will also begin the healing of hurt and disappointment. When that healing process begins it will perfect even the most imperfect work. So let the season of restoration continue. Happy National Day!

The response for the one-day Yong Peng tour was spontaneous. At dawn, 40 participants began the excursion to Yong Peng across the Straits of Johore. As an ice-breaker to start the day, we had a sumptuous breakfast, Nasi Lemak. Following the journey, there were a few pit-stops. We gained knowledge about mushrooms at the Mushroom Bio Tech; tasted and learnt about birds’ nest at the Ecolite Biotech Manufactory Sdn Bhd. Some of us had good bargain with the bird’s nest purchase, which is known as delicacy for nourishment and good skin. It was all the worth for a two hours’ drive when we reached our destination. In anticipation, smiles flashed on durian lovers as different grades of durians were served right before them. It was a ‘’Eat-All-You-Can Durian Feast’’; coupled with Queen of Fruits, Mangosteen and Rambutan. Everyone chatted and gave their opinions on durians and elaborated on the goodness of the fruit. It was not an over-statement as we all agreed it was one of the best lunches we ever had! 10 SPLASH august / september 2014 The next pit-stop was Yo-Yo Native Food Product, where our participants purchased local food items at the store. Needless to say, we mercilessly stocked up the shopping bags. We had the opportunity to taste the famous Muar Otak, another distinct dish in Yong Peng. This was followed by shopping at Tebrau and a delightful Seafood dinner in Permas Jaya at Sin Hui Bin Chinese Restaurant. The trip was well planned and participants had so much fun.

SPLASH august / september 2014 23 REVIEWS ~ SWIMMING Interview with Christopher Cheong Christopher writes history in swimming chapter by CONSTANCE LOW S PLASH: When did you first started swimming? How did you enter into competitive swimming and was there a reasons for it? CC: At the age of 4, I enrolled into the learn to swim programme here at SSC. Around the age of 9, I entered competitively not with any particular reason but because it was normal for a swimmer to progress into competition as he/she moved on in the swimming programme. SPLASH: What is your next goal and how do you plan to achieve it? CC: Getting an individual medal at the SEA Games. More training, training smart and well. SPLASH: You have participated in international swimming competitions. Which one is the most memorable to you and why? CC: All of them are unique experiences and memorable in their own ways but if I’d had to pick one it’ll probably be the 2013 SEA Games held in Myanmar. That was the one meet where I learnt how to really hone my race skills and expose myself to the immense stress of the media and competition. The memories made with the team there are also truly unforgettable. SPLASH: Among your peers, you have achieved a good number of awards; both local and international, are you proud of your achievements? CC: Definitely. I never thought I’d be able to come this far in my swimming career to begin with so what I’m achieving now is far beyond past expectations and I’m certainly proud of how far I’ve come. SPLASH: Who is the greatest influence in your life and why? CC: There isn’t one person in particular and I don’t think it’ll be fair to say one person influenced me the most. From my family to my coach to my peers, all of them added their own touch to influencing how I live and how things turned out. I guess without them I’d truly not be anywhere I am today. SPLASH: How often do you train? Was there any point of time you had considered quitting swimming? CC: When training for a major competition training could go up to 10 times a week and my coach is trying to increase that number as well due to my lack of strength. When I felt like quitting swimming was before I started to win medals. I recall at 15 I hadn’t made it to the finals of the school nationals yet. It was about that period where I felt that continuing wouldn’t be practical at all. Currently amidst all the stress from school and swimming combined, I’d feel daunted at times but not so much wanting to quit. 24 SPLASH august / september 2014 Christopher receiving his medal at the SEA Swimming Championships. REVIEWS ~ SWIMMING Interview with Malcolm Low Malcolm shares his swimming story by CONSTANCE LOW S PLASH: How did you start swimming and eventually enter the Singapore Sports School? ML: I first learn swimming with a sole purpose of being water safe and soon I got more interested in it and started to train competitively. Entering sports school was a tough choice but I was glad that I enrolled there as it helped me balance my sports and studies. L-R: Head Coach Yuan Zao Yu, Malcom Low and Coach Fang Hai Jiao (Singapore Sports School). SPLASH:What do you consider as the greatest achievement for your competitive swimming till date? ML: Making the Final of the Fina Arena World Cup held in Singapore would be my greatest achievement as I was able to race with world class swimmers. SPLASH: What is your next goal and your plans to achieve it? ML: To make the SEA Games next year. I got a lot to work on and definitely need to improve on my butterfly which is my weakest stroke as my main target event is the 400IM. SPLASH: What is your advice to other swimmers or those amateurs who like to enter into competitive swimming? ML: Follow your passion, prepare to train hard, stay focus, never give up and most importantly enjoy the process. SPLASH: If you are not into competitive swimming, where do you think you will be at this point in life? ML: Competitive swimming has moulded me to be a more disciplined person. I have learned to accept defeats and bounced back. With less free time, I have to manage my time properly so that I can still excel in my studies. Hence, if I am not into competitive swimming, I will be probably lazing around. SPLASH: How often do you train? ML: 9 - 10 times a week.
