Please also note that renovations have begun on the 4th floor of
the Sports & Recreation Complex. We are now in the process of
converting the old Billiards Room into the new Administration
Office. These works are anticipated to take approximately
six weeks, at which time we will shift our team to the new
Office, to enable us to commence preparations for the Chinese
Restaurant. Please refer to page 7 for more details.
As The Spa is nearing the end of its two-year term this
September, the use of approximately 5,000 square feet on the
5 floor of the Sports & Recreation Complex was re-evaluated.
th
Despite the fact that the Club has offered spa services for over
seven years, it has not been able to cultivate strong Member
usage and support. Daily visits average only three Members,
making the continued use of this space as a spa, difficult to
justify. As a result, it was recently decided by the 2014/2015
General Committee, that the Club not renew The Spa for
another term. We, therefore, encourage you to please make
use of any unutilised packages. We will apprise you of more

Italy promotion.
In honour of the Festa della Repubblica on 2 June, we’re
bringing a little taste of Italy to the Club month-long. Guest
Chef Domenico Cicconi, joins us on 4 June for an Italian Wine
Dinner in the Churchill Room, accompanied by wine speaker,
Mario Zocca. Chef Cicconi will also be on hand for Sunday
Lunch. Indulge in our Dolce Vita line-up.—this June, we’re
featuring Tiramisu (literally translated as ‘pick-me-up’), Chef
Louis’ own Limoncello concoction, biscotti, gelato, Moscato and
more! Buon appetito! And to complement our Italian festival,
do plan to join us for the screening of four fabulous films: Life
is Beautiful, Cinema Paradiso, Two Women (starring Sophia
Loren), and Il Postino.
As noted in past issues of The Tanglin Times, this year sees
us celebrating our big 1-5-0 in style! The main event of our
details as they become available.
May calendar was our 150th birthday Family Day Carnival.

vote with our feet—we certainly hope so!
Congratulations to Hugh Hoyes-Cock and the Golf Section, on
The good news is that greater utilisation enables us to better
optimise our fixed costs. As Member support grows, we are
on a better footing to offer greater value. The Express Lunch
Buffet in Tangles at $13.50 has proven to be very popular,
and enables us to sustain the incredible value position of
such a buffet, inclusive of dessert and beverage, for example.
Similarly, the Executive Lunch in Churchill has been reduced to
$18.65 year-long, in honour of the year we were founded, and
is of equally excellent value. Promotions like Tiger TWOsdays,
or Whisky Wednesdays offering one-for-one drinks, are other
ways we are working toward bringing you more. With your
support, we will continue to look for more ways to enhance
your satisfaction and the overall Tanglin experience.
Almost 1,000 Members and guests joined us for this incredible
this commendable effort.
This month, we feature the Cambridge Choir for $18.65, so be
sure to join us! And in the spirit of our 150th, throughout 2015,
you will find other promotions and events priced at $18.65, to
mark our founding year.
As we journey through this momentous year, we are reminded
by our rich 150-year history, Tanglin’s special traditions that
help to form our well established reputation, and all the great
Members who have made it so. May we rise to the occasion,
and become our very best in the year ahead!
Cheers to the next 150!
It is Tanglin’s financial policy that we subsidise food and
beverage by approximately $1 million to $1.5 million annually,
to optimise Members’ value proposition.
June also features four great ways to double down on value!
Returning again this month is our SG50 Sundays at Tangles;

SUPERSTAR EMPLOYEE AWARD
Congratulations to our 2014 Super Stars!
Mabel Seet from Housekeeping.
Mabel started as a contract staff with the Club many years
ago, before joining us as a full-time staff. Hardworking and
diligent, she manages to help her colleagues and provide
solutions. She ensures that her work is done properly and
on time, and she gets along splendidly with her colleagues.
Mabel is known for taking the initiative to perform tasks,
which makes her a very valuable colleague.
Foo Kok Wu, from Tavern.
Kok Wu has been with the Club since 7 December 1971. His
contribution of service, passion, and hard work is constant
these past 44 years. Often the recipient of compliments
from Members, he has the respect of fellow colleagues, and
Members as well. Despite his age, he appears very youthful,
proactive with his daily duties, positive and sincere attitude
towards work.
MAY STAR EMPLOYEES
Candy Li Chang
Wheelhouse Restaurant
Max Lee Yih Eng
Wheelhouse Kitchen
According to her colleagues, Candy
is as sweet as her namesake—
charming, polite, and never in a
bad mood. Despite her limited skills
in the English language when she
first joined the Club, Candy quickly
surpassed the challenge, and was
soon able to converse confidently
with Members and fellow staff. Her
seniors noticed her passion to her
work, and her willingness to help
others out even when she has her hands full waiting tables
at the usually busy Wheelhouse. A hearty congratulations
to Candy, and we’re confident in seeing her shine in her
career at the Club.
Underneath
that
friendly
demeanour, lies a hard working
professional in Max Lee which
is something his colleagues can
certainly attest to. Max was
nominated
primarily
for
his
positive attitude, even in the face
of busy days where the kitchen is
a hive of activity. Always on time,
and a strong team player, Max is
unafraid to get into the thick of
things to help his colleagues out and get the job done.
Congratulations, Max, and keep it up!

Staff News
IN MEMORIAM UNCLE KWOK NGOW
As one of the Club staff’s most welcoming faces around
the poolside and changing room, ‘Uncle’ Kwok Ngow was
known to many Members for his ever-present smile, and
courteous greetings. He was such a familiar sight, that
his absences were almost immediately felt, and staff
were occasionally asked if he was on leave, or had taken
ill.
On 26 March, the Club received the sudden news that
Uncle Kwok passed away, at the age of 74. It came as
a shock to everyone, as only weeks earlier he was seen
working, fit, and in good spirits. The sudden turn of
events was almost too much to bear for most of us, as
Uncle Kwok’s passing occurred just days after Mr Lee
Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding father, passed.
Except for long-serving staff, and long-time Club
Members, few know of Uncle Kwok’s history with the
Club. He was not always Club staff; in the early 1970s,
he ran a laundry service company, and one of his
primary clients was The Tanglin Club. Modernisation and
stiff competition from new laundromats forced a change
for him, and he eventually sought employment from the
Club, doing almost the same services he was doing as a
businessman and vendor.
Uncle Kwok had an interesting habit during his breaks:
in the blur of cars and pedestrians rushing to grab their
lunches before heading back to work, Uncle Kwok could
be seen walking at a comfortable pace towards DFS or
Far East Plaza on Scotts Road, in a simple white t-shirt,
and very sensible sunglasses, looking like a tourist, but
not quite. He was always unhurried, sure of his pace
and destination, but always taking the time to greet a
Member, or a fellow colleague on the way.
Perhaps he was thinking about his family. Unbeknownst
to many, he had his share of challenges raising a family
on a limited salary. Despite these challenges, he never
showed frustration or disappointment. As Club Member
Mr Peter Tan, who regularly has his breakfast with
friends at the Wheelhouse, said “Kwok is one of our
favourites. He had been with the Club for more than
20 years. I remember him from my youth. He had an
extra-ordinary life (and is an extra-ordinary example for
us) whereby he and his family looked after two of their
disabled children and funded his other sons to study
overseas. The Club is our “home away from home”.
Staff members like Kwok make it happen.”
In many ways, Uncle Kwok was a father-figure to many
of us. He wasn’t the type to lecture or cajole, nor was he
the type to give ‘life lessons’ based on his experiences.
He was the kind of father who instantly knew if you were
having a bad day, or was in need of something, and he
would do his best to provide. He was a father to us all.
We miss you, Uncle Kwok. Rest in peace.
If you knew Uncle Kwok, you knew a man who never
said an off-colour comment about anyone, who always
smiled and greeted you like he had not seen you for a
while (even though it was only yesterday), who was a
trustworthy cornerstone in a fast-paced world, and he
never rushed anything, and yet, completed his work on
time.
OBITUARY
The Tanglin Club team was saddened by the passing of the Club’s
Despatch Clerk, Mr Azman bin Ismail, who passed away in early May after
battling cancer, at the age of 43. Azman joined the Club in September,
1997, and was well-liked by his peers, due to his friendly and trustworthy
personality. Azman was a very helpful colleague, often assisting other
departments in work that was not part of his usual duties. Azman was also
a music enthusiast, and was part of the Club staff’s informal band, and
regularly performed at Staff Dinner & Dances. He will be greatly missed.
The Club sends it condolences to Azman’s family and friends.

ITALIAN WINE DINNER WITH CHEF
THURSDAY, 4 JUNE , 7PM
CHURCHILL ROOM
Member $98 | Guest $118
Discover the Old World with fine Italian wines, and indulge in an authentic and elegant 5-course
dinner specially prepared by guest Chef Domeni Cicconi. Chef Domenico grew up in the city of
San Benedetto del Tronto, which is located in the province of Ascoli Piceno, in the Marche region
of central Italy. His influences in the culinary arts stemmed from his younger days, where he
watched his mother develop her cooking career working in various hotels and restaurants. As a
tourist destination along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, San Benedetto del Tronto is notable for
its food and beverage industry.
Having graduated from Istituto Alberghiero Fazzini, Domenico was given the opportunity to work
with MotoGP as a private chef to famous Grand Prix motorcycle racers such as Valentino Rossie,
Max Biaggi, Roberto Locatelli, and Alex Hoffman. He has also spent a number of years working
with several firms providing professional catering services internationally. Through this, he has
garnered the experience and portfolio of working around the world, namely in Europe, the United
States, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and now in Singapore. As the Executive Chef of
Ristorante Amarone, Domenico has also played a key role in recent culinary contributions during
both the Italian Film Festival in Singapore (2014), and the European Union Film Festival (2014).
Being receptive to other cultures and cuisines, Domenico has grown a fondness in educating
others in the art of traditional Italian cuisine. Through his culinary creations, he believes that
every dish is crafted like a unique painting, to savour and experience individually.
WINE SPEAKER
Mario Zocca—Managing Director and co-Founder of Italian Wine List Pte
Ltd—will be the guest Wine Speaker for the evening. Born and raised
in the beautiful town of Verona, Italy, Mario worked in the biomedical
industry before venturing full-time into the world of wine, and has
developed close relationships with notable Italian wine producers, which

WINE OF THE MONTH
Food & Beverage | Wine
24
Montelpulciano D’ Abruzzo DOC
This lively and juicy red wine is from the rugged hills of Abruzzi,
above the Adriatic coast of central Italy. Solid and enjoyable, this
wine bursts with tart cherry and earth flavours, and is sometimes
augmented by herbal and floral aromas, and with a mineral
complexity. It is resolutely dry, with enough soft fruit to be drinkable
when young, yet tannic enough to keep it trim and energetic. It
pairs naturally with tomato sauce-based dishes.
$12.95 per glass
$64.75 per bottle
Moscato Piemonte DOC
A different interpretation of the Moscato grape allows us to offer
this interesting wine.
It’s an excellent match with desserts,
thanks to the wine’s full body, which is rich and complex. This
wine has a straw-yellow colour and honey, ripe fruits, peach and
pear aromas. A light citrus fruit scent completes the flavour. It
has a mild aromatic taste and a good freshness that bubbles
make more incisive.

OUR NEW CARD ROOM
As you can see in the photograph, our Card Room has had a complete makeover. Fabric wall-panelling, new
carpeting and day and night curtains have helped tremendously in cutting down the noise level and additionally
giving the card room a rather elegant and refined appearance.
The bridge players are indeed so well pleased that finally their request for a comfortable and presentable room has
come to fruition, thanks to the GC and Management. Let’s hope that everyone would strive to maintain the smart
spanking look of the Card Room for a good number of years.

On 11 April, we met the NUSS Darts Team for a Friendly Match of nine games, consisting of Men’s Singles, Ladies
Singles, Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. The overall games score was NUSS 7 to The Tanglin Club 2. The winners
of The Tanglin Club wins were MC Cheong for the Singles, and Denis Hardy with Khor Buck Chye for the Men’s
Doubles. It was a good display of skill and experience in action from both teams. After the matches, some Tanglin
Section Members were the recipients of coaching tips from Arthur and Helen from NUSS on technique and game
strategy. We reciprocated with a lunch some days later, to show our appreciation for their contributions to the
darting sport in The Tanglin Club.
We look forward to seeing all interested darters on Wednesdays and Saturdays for more darting fun and games.

for their enthusiasm and efforts.
INCORPORATING PILATES PRINCIPLES IN YOUR WORKOUT
Pilates is a mind-and-body training system that emphasize
mind-body integrity; that leads to a totally holistic
fitness regime. It changes the way we move and use our
body, and redresses imbalances, and alters movement
patterns, our body is brought back into balance.
The essence of Pilates is seen in the eight principles
below.

Relaxation
Concentration
Alignment
Breathing
Centering
Co-ordination
Flowing Movements
Stamina
Relaxation—Take time to relax and release unwanted
tension from your body before your workout. But that
doesn’t mean that you should have a half hour ‘nap’
before the session! By releasing tension from the muscle,
your movement patterns become more natural.
Centering—The core is the basis of our posture and the
way we move through space. So, don’t forget to include
core exercise to your workout!
Co-ordination—This process is a fabulous mental and
physical training, because it stimulates the two-way
communication between the brain and the muscles. This
is real mind-body training. Don’t hesitate, add them into
your workout by doing crawl example.
Flowing Movements—Pilates is all about natural
movement performed correctly, gracefully and with
control. Start including some Pilates exercises to your
workout.
Stamina—Consistency is the key here, so be patient. And
don’t forget, strength and flexibility and cardiovascular
fitness equals to total fitness.
Finally, don’t take this on faith. You have to try it for
yourself to experience it!
Concentration—Focus your mind on each and every
movement you make. Know what you doing and how
you are doing it. Although the movement may become
automatic with time, there is always a further level of
awareness to reach!
Alignment—If we are going to restore muscle balance in
the body, then we must have the right alignment while
we exercise. It also prevents joint injuries.
Breathing—In order for the body to receive enough
oxygen while exercising, we must breathe efficiently.
Breathe wide and full into your back and sides; it will
maximize oxygen intake to the lungs.

SWINGING SIXTIES!
The Churchill Room was fully booked, with 133 Members
and guests on 9 May, at the Swinging Sixties event,
when we had a special performance by two girls, Eileen
Tan, aged 12 years, and Rosemary Oxley, aged 14 years,
from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS),
formerly known as the Spastic Children’s Association
of Singapore. Despite their condition, the girls sang
two songs beautifully—Let It Be, and If We Hold On
Together—which were to opening songs for the event.
It was also a pleasant surprise, when a couple amongst
our guests, and two couples from our Dance Section,
made a personal donation to CPAS. This was unexpected,
and very touching. The Dance Section’s Sub-Committee,
on behalf of CPAS, expressed their grateful thanks to
these three couples, for their kind and generous gesture,
which amounted to a total of more than S$10,000. The
couples, however, wanted to remain anonymous, so
we are not naming them. The day was also the eve of
Mother’s Day, so carnations were given to all mothers,
mothers-to-be, grandmothers, and godmothers, in the
Churchill Room.
Dancers from Louis & Catherine from the Louis &
Catherine Dance Studio brought back memories of
dances from the 1960s. As always at our dance events,
participants dressed for the occasion, and did not
disappoint. The best-dressed were four ladies and a
gentleman, who went home with their prizes for making
the effort, and looking absolutely smashing. With good
food and service, and our resident band, Locomotion,
providing the right dance music from the 60s, everyone
had a swinging good time!

THE TANGLIN CLUB’S 150 TH ANNIVERSARY CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
On 13th May 2015 history was made as the golf section
celebrated The Club’s 150th Anniversary by holding
a charity golf tournament in aid of Special Olympics
Singapore. 100 players made up from both members
and guests arrived at Jurong Country Club in time for
an excellent chicken rice lunch, a group photo, and a
shotgun start. Though the weather reports were for
thundery showers in the afternoon, JCC management
were smart enough to place an onion and chilli pepper
at both the 1st and 10th tee boxes. Though the clouds
rolled in, and thunder could be heard in the vicinity, this
Group shot before the Shot Gun start
precaution worked a treat as there was no lightning, no
rain, and no delays during the round.
The course was in perfect condition with immaculate
fairways and testing greens. The competition was split
into a men’s and a ladies division with the men teeing
off from the white tees and the ladies the red. Scoring
was based on stableford points, and following a rigorous
check on handicaps, an instruction to swap scorecards,
and as a testament to the honesty of the field, only the

2 winners played to their handicap.
Jurong had put in some really tough pin placements with
the slopes and breaks taking their toll on the greens. Every
par 3 hole featured a novelty prize, and the excitement
built up on hole number 6 where a Range Rover Sport
could be won for a hole in one. The Coca Cola Company
had sponsored all the participants with a cooler bag and

TANGLIN INTERCLUB PAIRS LEAGUE 2015
The Lawn Bowls green at the S&R Complex was the
venue of intense competition between 12 participating
teams during the Tanglin Inter-Club Pairs League, which
was played every Wednesday at 6.30pm. The change in
weather affected the games—going from hot and dry in
January and February, to hot and humid with intermittent
rain in March and April.
On the evening of the final day of the League, the sky was
clear with an air of calm, but with a dull sensation from
the lack of wind. However, as the evening progressed,
the clouds darkened with the threat of rain. Finally, by

about 12 ends, it started to pour. The games had to be
called off, and the winner was decided on the result of
12 ends.
25 April was the Annual POT Games for TC Bowls and
the Singapore Cricket Club (SCC). SCC was the host
this year. The TC Bowls team had the opportunity for
a couple of practice games at the SCC grounds. As the
natural turf, the bowls was slower, and required stronger
delivery.
The game was to start at 4pm, however, as it got closer
to 4pm, the sky turned dark with ominous thunder.

Peter de Braux took out his trusty iPhone and checked
the weather information, and declared that it showed
approaching rain clouds stretching from the Marina
Bay area, to across the SCC grounds, City Hall, and up
Central-North.
Sure enough, it started to drizzle, and then there was
an almighty downpour at 3.30pm. The lawn was soon
flooded, but we decided to wait it out. An hour later, the
rain stopped suddenly. The team had to wait another
hour, though, for the lawn to be drained. Just when we
thought we could begin playing, the heavens opened up
again. This was too much for the Convenor, who decided

that the POT Games had to be called off, and the event
was declared a draw, much to the relief of our TC Bowlers.
The weird weather could not change one of the most
important functions of the Games though: the dinner!
We sat down to a sumptuous meal which was ready (on
time!) and the disappointment we were feeling gave
way to the sights and sounds of the usual camaraderie
between the two clubs, which was topped with a very
fine spirit of fine food and drinks at the “Gentlemen’s

men and true, although it quickly became apparent over
the evening, we perhaps over estimated our abilities, as
initial losses soon became a route of epic proportions.
I cannot recall the final score but only our number one
seeded player, Shane Hagan, came through victorious,
the rest all losing by quite a wide margin. Without
making too many excuses, the British Club did invite
some outside players to give us a game, fearing that

The doubles tournament started in earnest the following

that he had joined us. Josephine Chia, who prefers to be called Phine, introduced Brenden to a new local terminology:
longkang and explained that the word is commonly used when the bowling bowl runs into the gutter. Josephine

QUADS WE GO!
By the time you read this, the new Tennis SubCommittee will be in place. It has been a trying, yet
fulfilling year, with the number of different projects,
tournaments and events going on. I want to extend my
thanks to everyone who served on the Sub-Committee
the past year. It really has been a year of sacrifice.
Anyway, this isn’t going to be the platform for me to
review what we’ve done the past year. That was done
at the Tennis AGM on 23rd May. So, to end the year on
a happy note, I’ll talk about the quadrangular we had
in April, and on the capital expenditure we’re planning.
To the quads we go! I’ll use quads, even though
only three teams took part this year (we had a late
withdrawal). And we were CHAMPIONS! We beat Keppel
Club, and the Singapore Swimming Club over two days
in a best-of-seven round robin event. Tanglin also won
the individual trophies for the Mixed Doubles + 98,
Women’s Open, Women’s over 45s, and Men’s Over 50s
categories. Congratulations!
Over the next few weeks or months, we could possibly
see some work done to Tangles and to the area outside
Court 5, as per our approved Capex request. The Tennis
Sub-Committee intends to work closely with the General
Manager and the incoming GC on the projects.

OLD TIME MUSIC HALL
As part of our 150th Anniversary Celebrations, The Stage Club brought us back to the 19th century with their rendition
of the Old Time Music Hall. Prior to the show, a cocktail at the Tea Room with the Hendrick’s Gin bathtub on display
definitely embellished the atmosphere for the night. The crowd was entertained by popular songs like “Taylor the Latte
Boy” and “The Old Bull and Bush”. The show became much interactive when Members expressly sang along with the
performers. Back to the good old times, some may say.

MOTHER’S DAY
On Mother’s Day at The Tanglin Club, Violin Stars from
the Mandeville Conservatory of Music performed a
repertoire of popular music pieces for the crowd at the
brunch session. The little ones were not only active and
hyper off-stage, they also brought life to the music which
they played, dancing and moving along as the melody
changes. Harpist Ms Magdalene Wong mesmerised
the crowd with her elegant music from the classical
instrument. Being an experienced performer, Magdalene
captivated the audience with her soothing renditions of
popular hits such as “Frozen”.

MEET-THE-AUTHORS
Authors, Mr. Richard Borsuk and his wife, Ms. Nancy Chng, gave an interesting and informative talk on their book ‘Liem
Sioe Liong’s Salim Group: The Business Pillar of Suharto’s Indonesia’.
The book tells the fascinating story of Liem Sioe Liong, who in 1938 arrived in colonial Java as a penniless migrant
from southern China and later became the founder of Indonesia’s largest non-government conglomerate, known as
the Salim Group, and his close ties to President Suharto.
Mr. Borsuk and Ms. Chng, journalists who lived in Jakarta from 1987 to 1998, talked about the Salim Story in the
Suharto period and beyond. It was an engaging session with the audience and authors interacting with enthusiasm.
