Following the well-‐received ‘Striking a Chord for Stroke Awareness’ in 2015, a concert of Broadway showtunes, Soprano Tanya Sen returned to present a second concert in support of SNSA, this Eme a spin around the world of jazz. “A Stroke of Jazz: Songs from Around the World” took place on 16 July 2018 at the Esplanade Recital Studio and was graced by the President of Singapore Madam Halimah Yacob. The event raised over $100,000 in support of SNSA. The show was put together and performed by a talented quartet of jazz musicians: vocalist Tanya Sen, pianist Amery Reuben, bassist Leonard Ng and drummer Raf Mahmood, who delighted the audience with their creaEve interpretaEons of a wide selecEon of jazz standards from around the world. Tanya sang jazz standards as well as jazz interpretaEons of pop songs, in several languages (Portuguese and Spanish, to Mandarin and Hindi!) Each song was introduced to us in the mellifluous voice of Bernade_e Cho and framed with a unique picture by arEst Kylie Woon. In the space of 2 hours, they took us for a spin across conEnents from America to Europe to Asia –and so even for those of us who are less familiar with this form of music, it served as a very good introducEon to the wonderful world of jazz. Ahead of the concert, SNSA's Guests, donors, members and volunteers had also mingled and enjoyed the food served at the recepEon at the nearby café Old School Delights, and in the interval many of the audience members met with President Halimah. Aher the last piece was performed, (which was “Sinaran” – a bit of Malay funk)-‐ President Halimah showed her appreciaEon, and later said on social media that it was a wonderful show! The message of the show was well expressed by one of our audience members Mr. KV Rao, a music connoisseur, who says of the event:
True music in any format is all the same and blissful, and combinaEon of note & rhythm creates blissful melody. The ability to render the words of a song with the right accent and emoEon touches the heart. The understanding and synergy amongst the arEstes on the stage creates magic. Jazz has a history from the 20th century based on fundamental western classical, ferElized by African /American folk and other strains-‐ giving freedom for innovaEon, and brought out so uniquely in this concert.” And as Tanya concluded at the end of the evening, “at the end of the day we are all same-‐same but different, and music brings us together to celebrate the highs of life and come to terms with the lows”. All in all, it was an event that raised awareness within the wider community of stroke as well as SNSA's efforts in this area for 22 years; and so it was heartening that SNSA was able to exceed our fundraising target from this event, to enable us to further step up our acEviEes in the community to alleviate the difficulEes for stroke survivors and caregivers from this dreaded disease. Our thanks go to the concert commi_ee led by Dr. Deidre De Silva; Neera Gupta of Kit Kat marketing forbeing the MC; Gayathri Menon who did the makeup and styling of the arEstes; the volunteers at the Esplanade Theatre, and the staff as well as many members of the SNSA community who helped to promote and organize the event. We also thank the donors who contributed generously. All in all, a memorable evening!

Singapore Garden Festival @ Gardens by the Bay by Ms Jackie Hall
On Saturday the 28 of July I together with my fellow stroke survivors and caregivers visited Gardens by the Bay. It was to view the various creaEons at the Garden FesEval which were set up to showcase different countries unique features. The first exhibit we encountered was from Africa by landscapist Leon Kluge. It was a vibrant and colourful display which depicted the African heartbeat. It portrayed a mulE-‐sensory experience to one and all. The changing display was cleverly a variaEon of the rainfall of the region. It was also accompanied by sounds which made this showpiece even more spectacular. Another tranquil piece was that of Sugishima Yoshimi’s Time is Like Water. It was a depicEon of waterfalls running through the luscious foliage. There were other displays which were stunning. There were a lot of orchids on display and I parEcularly like the pitcher plant. It reminded me of the carnivorous plants which we learnt way back from the science lessons from secondary school.
Aher our walk around in the air condiEoned tents we made our way to the sweltering heat outside. To take a break and cool down we had hi-‐tea at Peach Garden. Here we had some char sui pau, fish porridge and red bean pancakes washed down by some Chinese tea. We all had our comfort break and now we braved the Orchid Extravaganza. We made our way through the throngs of people as it was indeed very crowded that day. Since we had special passes to get in Poh Choo lined us up for easy entry. Once inside we were given free rein to pursue on our own. We manoeuvred our way through the many displays admiring and looking at flowers; some of which were named aher some famous celebriEes. What a fantasEc panorama of foliage. Aher all the day’s acEviEes were over we boarded the buses and it was home sweet home.
The SNSA Stroke Club's Table Tennis Team parEcipated in the 2018 Singapore NaEonal Games GetAcEve Para Table Tennis CompeEEons on 4 August 2018. Mr Liew Teck Chye came in Third place in the Men's Singles (Class 6-‐8) while Carrine Chia came in 2nd Runner Up in the Women's Singles (Class 6-‐10). ParEcipants strictly adhere to their classificaEon categories and indicate their classificaEon category during registraEon. There are two stages in this para game. In Stage 1 Entries were drawn and grouped into groups of 3 to 4 (depending on the final entries received) for each event. Matches were played in a group round robin format, all matches were decided by either best of 3 or best of 5 games of 11 points. The top 2 from each group will then progress into Stage 2. In Stage 2, the top 2 from each group will then be drawn into a single eliminaEon format to determine the winners. All matches were decided by best of 5 games. Carrine shares her experience at the games. “Par%cipa%ng in the GetAc%ve Para Table Tennis compe%%on was a invaluable experience as I got to play with players from different disability Classes other than those which I’m familiar with in SNSA. It also built up my self-‐confidence I have been par%cipa%ng in Para Table Tennis compe%%ons for the past two years with two other friends, who also trained with me under the same coach. One of them had recovered from his disability and is no longer able to join us in para games, but he s%ll joins us at our prac%ce sessions. I'm so glad that our coach, the SNSA team players and the SNSA programme manager came to support us during the game! I’m happy to have goLen the medal as 2nd Runner Up.I will con%nue in my prac%ce and improve my skills.”

Ramai yang akan putus asa apabila mendapat tahu mereka diserang penyakit angin ahmar. Namun bagi Encik Rosli bin Hadi, beliau malah menyumbang tenaga sebagai sukarelawan. Encik Rosli diserang angin ahmar pada 29 September 2016, pada usia 52 tahun. Pada mulanya, beliau seperE lali dan Edak terfikir banyak tentang masalah penyakit tersebut semasa dimasukkan ke wad buat kali pertama. Tetapi selepas melalui prosedur, barulah beliau mula terfikir tentang masalah-‐masalah yang bakal dihadapinya. TerbukE fikiran posiEf Encik Rosli dapat membantunya mengatasi segala masalahnya. Beliau sangat bersyukur penyakitnya Edak seserius berbanding dengan penyakit lain. Beliau menjalani fisioterapi dengan bersungguh-‐sungguh kerana bertekad untuk berdiri semula di atas kaki sendiri. Atas dorongan kawan-‐kawannya, beliau berjaya melakukannya dalam masa tersingkat. Pada waktu senggang, Encik Rosli ringan tulang melakukan kerja sukarela di bawah naungan SNSA, Singapore NaEonal Stroke AssociaEon. Biasanya beliau akan ke hospital seperE Hospital Khoo Teck Puat dan Hospital Yishun Community untuk memoEvasi pesakit angin ahmar yang lain supaya jangan risau atau putus asa. Beliau akan menggunakan pengalamannya sendiri dan berkongsi untuk memberi harapan kepada mereka. Selain itu, pada tahun lepas, beliau juga pernah berbakE menemani warga-‐warga emas ke tempat-‐tempat akEviE apabila diperlukan. Kehidupan Encik Rosli sebelum dan selepas diserang penyakit angin ahmar berbeza sekali. Daripada segi mencari nayah keluarga, kini pilihan pekerjaan untuk beliau terhad. Ini kerana kebanyakan pekerjaan memerlukan pekerja yang sempurna, lincah dan bertenaga. Kini, Encik Rosli juga giat mempelajari kemahiran baharu agar peluang pekerjaannya lebih banyak. Pada masa yang sama, Encik Rosli juga mula menjinakkan diri dengan pengangkutan awam. Sekarang Encik Rosli Edak berani memandu motosikalnya kerana risau penyakitnya akan menyerang secara mendadak semasa di jalan raya. Encik Rosli sedar akan kelemahan dan masalah sendiri tetapi dia Edak tawar haE. Prinsipnya, “Fikir tentang apa yang anda boleh buat, bukan apa yang Edak boleh.” Sebelum mengakhiri temuduga kami, Encik Rosli memberikan beberapa patah kata muEara. Kepada pesakit angin ahmar yang lain, dinasihatkan agar redha dan mengikut nasihat doktor untuk memakan ubat dan taat menjalani sessi fisioterapi. Kepada penjaga, perlulah banyak bersabar, selalu memberikan galakan dan membahagikan masa dengan baik. Yang lainnya, hargailah kesihatan kita. Harapan Encik Rosli adalah untuk berjaya mendapat pekerjaan yang berdekatan dengan hospital supaya dia lebih senang haE sekiranya angin ahmarnya menyerang lagi. Namun, Encik Rosli Edak berhenE berusaha agar satu hari nanE, kehidupannya dapat menjadi normal kembali.

SNSA VOLUNTEER on the GO! Rosli Bin Hadi's Story by HANEY ASHERA BTE TAIB & ILI DHANIAH BTE SUHIMI, 3 Devo%on, PRESBYTERIAN HIGH SCHOOL
Mr Rosli Bin Hadi one of SNSA's dedicated befrienders in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Yishun Community Hospital was awarded the Healthcare Humanity Award for his volunteer work. Many will be desperate when they found out they had stroke. But for Mr Rosli bin Hadi, it led him to volunteering. Mr Rosli was unexpectedly hit by stroke on September 29, 2016, at the age of 52. IniEally, he was numbed and did not think much about the problem of the illness when he was first admi_ed to the ward. But aher going through the procedures, it began to sink in and he started to think about the problems he had to face. Evidently, Mr Rosli's posiEve thoughts has helped him overcome all the problems. He is so grateful that his illness is not as serious as other diseases. He underwent physiotherapy seriously as he is determined to stand up on his own feet. On his friends' encouragement, he managed to do it in the shortest possible Eme. During his leisure Eme, Mr Rosli volunteered under the auspices of Singapore NaEonal Stroke AssociaEon (SNSA). Usually he will go to the hospital like Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Yishun Community Hospital to moEvate other stroke paEents not to worry or to despair. He will share his own experience to give them hope that they are able to recover too. AddiEonally, last year, he had also volunteered by accompanying senior ciEzens to places of acEvity when needed. Mr Rosli's life before and aher the stroke was different. In terms of earning a family's livelihood, now he has limited employment opEons. This is because most jobs require a perfect, nimble and energeEc worker. Now, Mr. Rosli is also acEve in learning new skills for more job opportuniEes. At the same Eme, Mr Rosli also began to familiarize himself with public transport. Now Mr Rosli does not dare to ride his bike because of worry that his illness will occur while on the road. Mr Rosli is aware of his own weaknesses and problems but he does not lose heart. His principle, "Think about what you can do, not what you can’t." Before closing our interview, Mr Rosli gave a few words of wisdom. To other stroke paEents, it is advisable to follow the doctor's advice strictly in taking medicaEon and complete the physiotherapy sessions. To the caregivers, you have to be paEent, always give encouragement and manage your Eme well. As for others, care about our health as it is the most important asset.

Singapore Botanical Garden Stroll 30th June 2018 SNSA Evening Stroll @ Singapore Botanic Gardens with stroke survivors, caregivers & volunteers. Stroke survivors are determined to stand up from their wheelchairs & walk together, encouraging one other.
“Kudos to Poh Choo & company for organising the leisure walk. Warm smiles & greetings filled the evening and we were ready to hit the park with gusto. The highlight of the walk was that each stroke survivor was cared for by a buddy (physiotherapist/volunteer) during the walk. There was exercise, there was interaction and there was buddy care. Simply Good!” – Patrick Heng, Stroke Survivor
“Thank you for arranging today’s evening walk at Botanical Garden for stroke survivors. Though it was about 2 hours, I was very glad that I could walk with many stroke survivors and volunteers. A volunteer has become my personal friend, she is good to me & takes care of me like her mother. Thank you Charmaine, hope next time I can meet you again.” – Koh Meng Get, Stroke Survivor
“This is a very good programme as it helps us to interact with each other, and also a very good workout. Should do more often.” – John Ang, Stroke Survivor
Left - Stroke-A-Beat 23 June 2018 Stroke survivors and their caregivers enjoyed a morning of music-filled sessions & activities to support social engagement, personal well-being & expression by Lynn Koh, music therapist.
“Dennis (my husband who is very much affected in his brain and speech since 4 years ago) and I enjoyed the 4 Stroke-A-Beat sessions very much. We wish there are more sessions. During the first session, I witnessed him opening his vocal cords to sing and paying total attention. Though he was not musically rhythm inclined, he enjoyed singing especially with the opening and closing words of the familiar tunes. As the sessions move on with the introduction of musical instruments, he was excited to participate and I noticed him trying to get into the rhythm and beat along. This is a new and interesting experience for him and I believe it will improve his cognitive and coordination skills.
One day at home, after his 3 sessions of music therapy, I heard him humming along some sections of the familiar songs which he heard over the radio. I was amazed to see him slowly paying attention to his surroundings and responding.
After the last session of the therapy, he heard a certain song being played over the audio from a nearby shop. He even named the song title. With the repeated singing over the past weeks, it helps him enhance his memory. With the deep breathing exercise in the programme, oxygen is breathed in and goes to the brain. I believe that this promotes the healing of the brain. Exercising the mouth also relaxes the facial muscles. We appreciate SNSA very much for organising these sessions and Lynn for dedicating her time with us. We hope that you will carry on with this music therapy more frequently. – Liaw Soon Fong, Caregiver.
Stroke Club
Social Outings
SNSA organises stroke clubs about once every two months. Stroke clubs are a pla{orm for stroke survivors and their caregivers to meet and learn f r o m i n v i t e d s p e a k e r s (healthcare profess ionals , therapists, etc) on topics relevant to them, such as post-‐stroke care.
The stroke club is designed to be a s u ppo r t g r o up whe r e members can help each other by sharing their burdens and worries and receive advice and support. It also funcEons as a educaEonal centre to reinforce the importance of managing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity. Finally, it is a Resource centre
caregivers to
and the avenues for help and advice.
Stroke survivors and their caregivers are welcomed to a_end stroke clubs to learn and r e c e i v e s u p p o r t a n d encouragement from others who face similar challenges.
Some of the acEviEes in Stroke Clubs include Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Lawn Bowling, Seated Taichi, Table Tennis and health
conducted in different parts where beginners start with less challenging tasks before moving on to more advanced sessions.
SNSA organises social integraEon ouEngs, aimed at promoEng the reintegraEon of stroke survivors back into the community. Stroke survivors and their caregivers parEcipate in various outdoor acEviEes, such as visits to places of interest around Singapore, watching movies, and having a meal together.

“Thank you for arranging today’s evening walk at Botanical Garden for stroke survivors. Though it was about 2 hours, I was very glad that I could walk with many stroke survivors and volunteers. A volunteer has become my personal friend, she is good to me & takes care of me like her mother. Thank you Charmaine, hope next time I can meet you again.” – Koh Meng Get, Stroke Survivor
“This is a very good programme as it helps us to interact with each other, and also a very good workout. Should do more often.” – John Ang, Stroke Survivor
Left - Stroke-A-Beat 23 June 2018 Stroke survivors and their caregivers enjoyed a morning of music-filled sessions & activities to support social engagement, personal well-being & expression by Lynn Koh, music therapist.
“Dennis (my husband who is very much affected in his brain and speech since 4 years ago) and I enjoyed the 4 Stroke-A-Beat sessions very much. We wish there are more sessions. During the first session, I witnessed him opening his vocal cords to sing and paying total attention. Though he was not musically rhythm inclined, he enjoyed singing especially with the opening and closing words of the familiar tunes. As the sessions move on with the introduction of musical instruments, he was excited to participate and I noticed him trying to get into the rhythm and beat along. This is a new and interesting experience for him and I believe it will improve his cognitive and coordination skills. One day at home, after his 3 sessions of music therapy, I heard him humming along some sections of the familiar songs which he heard over the radio. I was amazed to see him slowly paying attention to his surroundings and responding. After the last session of the therapy, he heard a certain song being played over the audio from a nearby shop. He even named the song title. With the repeated singing over the past weeks, it helps him enhance his memory. With the deep breathing exercise in the programme, oxygen is breathed in and goes to the brain. I believe that this promotes the healing of the brain. Exercising the mouth also relaxes the facial muscles. We appreciate SNSA very much for organising these sessions and Lynn for dedicating her time with us. We hope that you will carry on with this music therapy more frequently. – Liaw Soon Fong, Caregiver.
Stroke Club
Social Outings
Pg 4 | Singapore NaEonal Stroke AssociaEon
SNSA organises stroke clubs about once every two months. Stroke clubs are a pla{orm for stroke survivors and their caregivers to meet and learn f r o m i n v i t e d s p e a k e r s (healthcare profess ionals , therapists, etc) on topics relevant to them, such as post-‐stroke care. The stroke club is designed to be a s u ppo r t g r o up whe r e members can help each other by sharing their burdens and worries and receive advice and support. It also funcEons as a educaEonal centre to reinforce the importance of managing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity.
Finally, it is a Resource centre for stroke survivors and caregivers to b e _ e r u n d e r s t a n d t h e psychosocial aspects of stroke and the avenues for help and advice. Stroke survivors and their caregivers are welcomed to a_end stroke clubs to learn and r e c e i v e s u p p o r t a n d encouragement from others who face similar challenges. Some of the acEviEes in Stroke Clubs include Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Lawn Bowling, Seated Taichi, Table Tennis and health talks. Some acEviEes are conducted in different parts where beginners start with less challenging tasks before moving on to more advanced sessions.
SNSA organises social integraEon ouEngs, aimed at promoEng the reintegraEon of stroke survivors back into the community. Stroke survivors and their caregivers parEcipate in various outdoor acEviEes, such as visits to places of interest around Singapore, watching movies, and having a meal together. Social integraEon ouEngs are open only to SNSA members who are stroke survivors and their families/caregivers.

Happenings in SNSA
Visitors from Washington DC Paul Berger (Stroke Survivor) and his wife Stephanie, from Washington DC joined SNSA for LIFE Ager Stroke @ Yishun on 18 August 2018. Here is his story :-‐ “My name is Paul Berger. I had a stroke 30 years ago, when I was 36. I lost my speech, my right arm and leg were paralyzed, and I came home in a wheelchair. I lost my job. But I did not give up. My wife, Stephanie Mensh, my family and a few wonderful friends helped me. They believed in me. Over the years, I worked hard on therapy to re-‐learn to walk, talk, and return to work. We love to travel. With planning (and a liile extra expense for accessible hotels and non-‐stop flights), we have traveled from our home in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., U.S.A., to places across the U.S.A., Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and now to Singapore for 8 days. We visited most of Singapore’s tourist sites. At the Aquarium, we met a woman with the
same folding cane chair that I use to sit and watch the sea creatures. Our favorite day was Saturday, with the SNSA Life Ager Stroke in Yishun, followed by a hawker lunch with Poh Choo, and caregiver Ann. I enjoyed the exercises with the PTs, and the music session. I was inspired by the posiWve altude of the stroke survivors aiending, and by Ann’s bailes for her husband. Be hopeful. Don’t give up. Medical professionals think you stop making progress in a few weeks or months. I am proof that a stroke survivor can conWnue to improve every year, and live a full life, try new things, meet new people. If I can do it, you can do it, too! I write about my adventures with stroke in my book, “How to Conquer the World With One Hand…And an Altude,” and my website: www.strokesurvivor.com.
