50plus Expo 2015 - Singapore Jubilee Edition
The main stage of the 50plus Expo 2015 (Singapore Jubilee Edition)
The 50plus Expo was a long-awaited annual event to embark on an active ageing journey for Singaporeans and non-Singaporean visitors.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 50plus Expo 2015 (Singapore Jubilee Edition) was postponed. It was originally scheduled to hold from 27 March to 29 March, 2015 at Suntec Singapore.
The event was changed to 15 May to 17 May, 2015 at the same venue as a mark of respect to the late founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew who passed away on 23 March, 2015. The 7-day public mourning period and the state funeral on 29 March, 2015.
The 50plus Expo 2015 is hosted by Council for Third Age (C3A), supported by Ministry of Health Singapore, organised by Pico in celebration of SG50.

This video clip on YouTube with courtesy of Lina Catcat, a fellow blogger who posted a related blog "Enjoy Your Life With C3A" for an interesting reading pleasure.
I would like to thank my nostalgia friend, Ms Sim Hui Hwang comments on this blog:
[Thanks, James! Your talk was peppered with humorous anecdotes. Informative and encouraging. I hope it will inspire more senior citizens and retirees to start their own digital stories and keep them connected with their friends n the younger generation.]

Dear Thimbuktu,
We've recently come across your wonderful blog ''Blog to Express". Seeing all the awesome photos you have featured on your blog, we are wondering if yourself, your family members or anyone you have come across or met during your research, would be interested to be featured in our short film.
Our production house is currently working on a Royston Tan (director of "881") short film called "50 1st Kisses", under the SG Heart Map Project (www.heartmap.sg).
"50 1st Kisses" is a short film featuring 50 pairs / couples at 50 different locations all around Singapore, sharing their intimate stories of their life with a loved one at a Singapore location where they have shared beautiful memories of. The location is selected based on an old photograph of the pair. This short film will be screened in a few major events (TBA) this year, in conjunction with the SG50 celebrations.
We have completed phase 1 of the video. Do have a look at it.

We are now starting on the 2nd phase of the short film, featuring another 25 pairs of people.
Pairs / Couples we are looking for:
• Singaporeans or PR
• Any race
• Any relationship. eg Spouses, siblings, Parent & child, best friends etc
Photos will be selected based on:
• Clarity (People & landmarks have to be clear in the photo)
• Age of photo (we want to see a huge difference from the photo & the present time, so the older the better).
We look forward for a reply and hope to hear from you soon. If you wish to have more details, feel free to call Sherilyn Lee at 9018 5287 or Nick Teo at 9455 4862. Cheers.
Shaf,
