the editor speaks How are all of you! Time flies so fast that we are moving to the mid-year mark already. We have lined up a lot of exciting events for you and your family members to be engaged in during the school holidays. Hey, we have managed to get good discounts for you for the theatrical circus spectacular “Voyage de la Vie”, the Singapore Discovery Centre as well as the newly opened Sea Sports Centre. Go and indulge yourself with your families ok! There are also kids workshops for jewellery making, robotics and social etiquette. For those interested in sports, the annual tennis open and swimming carnival are here, so sign up for them during the school holidays! We have a winning photo for our NSRCC Photo Contest which is in the front cover of this issue. We received many entries and this black and white photo was eventually chosen after careful consideration and deliberation. Read on inside on why this unique photograph is given the top notch! You can also see the other entries for comparison. Everybody is a winner because all the photographs are excellent, that is why we have featured the top finalists in the RV for the rest to enjoy. Our Annual Charity Golf is back once again and this time, the beneficiaries are Alzheimer Disease Association, Down Syndrome Association, Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation, SAF Benevolent Fund and Society for the Physically Disabled. If you have not already signed up for it, please do so as soon as possible for a very good cause. We have always been very supportive of the annual golf event and let us continue to strive for better results to do our part and share for the needy and less fortunate members of our society. Do you know that we have a very chic restaurant down at the NSRCC Sea Sports Centre? It is called Chit’s Bar & Restaurant and you should try the food there! I will not reveal the secret but will let you savour the fine dining for yourself! Golfers, you will be pleased to know that we intend to feature some golfing tips on how to play better golf in each issue of the RV for you to learn and improve your strokes. In this issue, we have featured the much dreaded bunker shots which place anxiety in us when we play. No fear, the pro is here! I have tried it and it works! Looks like my handicap index of 14.9 is set to go down soon! We are looking for new volunteers to help out at the various committees. If you are interested to be part of our volunteer team to serve the club and its members, please get in touch with us and we will follow up with you. I must say that it is a very satisfying experience to serve in the Club and it is truly a positive experience as part of our national service contribution. We do not look for rewards but satisfaction that we are part of the success of the club over the years. Come and join us! I am certain that with more than 10,000 members, there must be many of you who are experts in your own fields and can contribute towards the continuing growth of NSRCC. This will be my second last issue of the RV as its Editor. My last issue will be the July/August 2011. There will be a change of Editor after 7 years. Stepping down together with me will be our Captain Andrew Kwa and Seah Chin Aik, the Chairman of the Resort and Facilities Committee. I will introduce you to the new office bearers at the next issue! We would like to wish all of you Happy Vesak Day and of course, happy school holidays! Have fun! See you around in the club! If you see me, please come and say hello and I will still buy you a beer or drink! Cheers! SLTC (NS) Laurence Goh Eng Yau Honorary Editor

Earth Hour! NSRCC turned off non-essential lights in some areas of the club
to mark Earth Hour 2011.
Throughout the club, external building perimeter lights, lights at
carpark A, B and C were switched off in a bid to raise awareness
on energy conservation. The carpark was significantly darker
during the hour.
The inaugural event also saw some bungalow guests voluntarily
Before Earth Hour switching off lights in their unit while armed with their light

board games, exchanging conversations and having dinner.
The club hopes to extend the span of ‘lights out’ more extensively
next year.

Captain’s Cup has come a long way since it
was hosted by Club captain Andrew Kwa
back in 2005. It is also the time of the year

The event played in Stableford format saw a
strong turn out as 160 members supported
the outgoing Captain for the last time at his
namesake cup.

‘Fond Memories
There is a saying which goes “a picture speaks
a thousand words.” We asked you to join us in
1st Prize
our photography contest based on the theme Anthony See
“Fond memories of NSRCC”.
NRCC has just celebrated its 17th birthday
and it was timely for members to share their
joyous moments spent in the club.
The first prize goes to Anthony See with his
photo titled – “Dusk” which portrays the
masculinity that not many would see. In
comparison to many other coloured photos
submitted, “Dusk” seems to have a way of
showing memories in a different perspective.
The second prize went to Terence Koh with
the photo titled – “Seeding our future”.
Terence shared with us that the picture was
captured whilst his stay at the resort. Being
an avid golfer, he felt inspired by the young
golfers who were taking lessons with great

Good Debt vs
Bad Debt
If you read any typical Personal Finance book from a bookstore, one
recurrent advice they have is “be debt-free as soon as possible”.
According to Dennis Ng, many people quickly pay off all their debts
after reading such books including housing loan, which may not be
the best decision.
Pay Off Bad Debts
People forget that there is “good debt” and there is “bad debt”. 2. Paying off a housing loan does not increase your net worth.
Bad debt is any debt on consumption. Thus, to me car loans,
personal loans, credit card debt are all bad debt and a person Let me use an example to illustrate:
should avoid such debts or aim to pay them off as soon as
possible. Mr A owns a condominium with a market value of $500,000.

Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort and NSRCC
Inter-club Friendly Golf Tournament
First Inter-club friendly golf tournament
NSRCC played host to members from Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort with an inter-club friendly
match held at Changi Golf Course recently. It got underway with a ‘warm-up’ match played at
Kranji Sanctuary Golf Course on 26 February with the actual tournament kicking off on 27 February
at SAFRA Resort Changi Golf Course.
The 53-strong Clearwater entourage from Ipoh led by its Liaison Committee Chairman Dr Chew
Chew Teik Chye played against NSRCC’s team led by General Manager COL (NS) Dennis Ng.
Clearwater representatives Manimanan and Cheah Nyoon Fong clinched first and second position
respectively with third position claimed by NSRCC’s William Tay. Clearwater won the Challenge
Trophy with 367 points, based on the best of 10 scores from both teams, while NSRCC managed
Dennis Ng (GM, NSRCC) presenting the
359 points. Challenge trophy to Lee Kuan Meng
(Captain, CW)
The event concluded with the prize presentation cum lunch held at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.
Both clubs exchange mementos and many took the opportunity to take photographs where new
friendships were forged.
The first ever inter-port game between both clubs sure left a lasting memory on our guests visiting
the club for the first time. They were all praises for the golf courses from the challenging course in
Kranji to the beautiful and relaxing courses in Changi.
NSRCC members can look forward to a return match at Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Course in the
near future. Visit of web album at https://picasaweb.google.com.nsrcc.safra
