We have 3 stupid stages of life…
Teen age:
Have Time + Energy …but No Money
Working Age:
Have Money + Energy …but No Time
Old age:
Have Time + Money …but no Energy
PERKS OF REACHING 50+
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you, too.
Don't laugh....
It is all true!
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 And heading towards 70!
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
4. People call at 9 PM and ask, 'Did I wake you?'
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6.. There is nothing left to learn the hard way...
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 4 PM.
9. You can live 'without sex but not your glasses'.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
19. You can't remember who sent you this list.
20. ONE MORE THING:
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on the same night!

SECITA NEW YEAR LUNCH 2011
SECITA (Senior Citizens’ Association, Selangor & Federal Territory), an NGO, was established on 5 December 1984 by a group of retired professional and civil servants to look into the needs, welfare and interests of the elderly, aged 55 and above, through various activities that promote their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, irrespective of race, colour or creed. Registered in 1985 with the ROS (Registrar of Societies), SECITA was breaking new ground in the area of caring for the aged.
It is highly significant that in 2009, SECITA’s Silver Jubilee year, Bangunan SECITA is standing tall and impressive, ready to serve the whole community. After 25 years of relocating from “Balai” to “Balai” in Petaling Jaya, finally there is a permanent venue with ample rooms / areas and facilities to hold activities / classes from Tai Chi / Qi Gong / Waitankung, Line/Social/Cultural Dancing and Singing to computer literacy, languages, art & craft, music and calligraphy –all at nominal fees in serving the community and country.
Let us tribute to:
The pioneers for their fore-sight,
Those who stayed the course when the going got tough, and
Those who took up the challenge to realize a dream!
SECITA IN PROGRESS

SECITA IN BRIEF
SECITA (Senior Citizens’ Association, Selangor & Federal Territory), an NGO, was established on 5 December 1984 by a group of retired professional and civil servants to look into the needs, welfare and interests of the elderly, aged 55 and above, through various activities that promote their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, irrespective of race, colour or creed. Registered in 1985 with the ROS (Registrar of Societies), SECITA was breaking new ground in the area of caring for the aged.
One of SECITA’s objectives was to build a 1-stop community centre to cater to the needs of this special group, the “warga emas”, so that they can help themselves to stay active, healthy and happy; continue to live in dignity; contribute their wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience; and be assets to their family, society and country by helping to save on healthcare and medical costs.
In 1992, SECITA raised enough funds among members and well-wishers to purchase a piece of land from PKNS. However, the building project had to be shelved because the options available were not in line with the Association’s vision and mission. In 2005, the tide turned when YB Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, Parlimentary Secretary, Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, took up SECITA’s appeal to revive the building project at No.4A, Jalan SS 5D/6, Kelana Jaya, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Her unfailing support and the concerted efforts of members, well-wishers, corporations and government agency have turned the plan on paper into reality.
It is highly significant that in 2009, SECITA’s Silver Jubilee year, Bangunan SECITA is standing tall and impressive, ready to serve the whole community – the elderly, the not so-young and the young. After 25 years of relocating from “Balai” to “Balai” in Petaling Jaya, finally there is a permanent venue ample rooms / areas and facilities to hold activities / classes from Tai Chi / Qi Gong / Waitankung, Line/Social/Cultural Dancing and Singing to computer literacy, languages, art & craft, music and calligraphy –all at nominal fees.
Today membership stands at 500 comprising Life, Full, Associate and Honorary members. Bangunan SECITA in Kelana Jaya is in the vicinity of big housing estates. Citizens above 18 years are welcome to apply for membership and participate in the healthy pursuits.
The Board of Directors, complemented by 6 Committees and the Secretarlat, will continue to manage the affairs of the Association on a voluntary basis while working towards semi-professional status. Together, they will bring SECITA to greater heights in serving the community and country.
