He wakes up early every morning and does an hour or so of qigong.
Then, four or five times a week, he drives himself and his wife to their club and they play nine holes of golf together.
He also eats well, sleeps well and enjoys a good relationship with his wife.
He has written and published three books on the art of marrying qigong and golf.
He is also 96 years old.
The youthfully cheerful golf fan is a very happy man. He jokes with everyone who says hello to him at the Singapore Island Country Club restaurant.
He teases his wife mercilessly.
He also teases his Indonesian maid who has been with them for four years. Said his maid, Miss Sutini: 'He's fun to be around.'
Mr Loh, who retired as a metal manufacturer when he was 83, said: 'You must have fun for life to be interesting. For me, I never stop moving.'
He had colorectal surgery in October.
'First, the doctors all gathered around me fussing about my age, fearing that my body would not be able to take the operation,' he said.
'But my main doctor said to every one that I can take it, that I'm strong. But still, they called my son, my daughter, every one gathered around, talk, talk, talk. So finally, I told them all, 'Cut lah, I'll be all right!'
He stayed in hospital for five days. A week after his operation, he was driving and playing golf again.
As he talked, he leaned over, and, with a twinkle in his eye, let us in on the secret to his happiness and long life. 'Keep moving and have a good partner who will do things with you,' he said.
He let us in on another secret while his wife, Madam Wang Jin Feng, grinned and giggled with delight and mock horror.
'No, no, don't say,' she said.
But he pressed on. 'She does not do qigong, so it had to be golf,' he said. 'But in order to teach her, I had to go through a lot. Why? Because her condition was that no one could see her play!'
So he taught her during times when the course was not crowded.
'We would practice in those days in the old Island Club where you get tortoises, snakes and monkeys wandering around,' he said.
Whenever she hit a ball too far or into a sandpit, he would have to get it for her or hit it for her.
When it was time for her to take her practical test for her handicap, she refused.
Said Mr Loh: 'Because no one is allowed to see her play!' (And no one was permitted to take her photo too, which is why there is none for this story.)
He went to a temple and prayed to the goddess Kuan Yin that she would take the test. After two weeks, she did.
'This is important because over the years, all the friends that I have played golf with are either no longer playing or no longer around,' he said.
The couple have been married for more than 40 years and have four children and seven grandchildren. Despite his being older, he is her caddy and driver and he takes care of her meals. She also needs more sleep than he does, he said.
'The maid wakes her up for breakfast only after I have finished my qigong workout,' he said.
Then he said, as if he was revealing a very big secret, that his wife is 84 years 'young'.
Across the table, she shook her head vigorously.
'What did she tell you? That she is 20 years younger than me? Hah, this woman is very clever,' he said.
He chuckled, and she chuckled too.
Does he think money is important for happiness?
Mr Loh said one cannot live without money, but it is not everything. 'When we pass on, we cannot take our money with us. If I can help another person today, I will still do my best. Just work for as long as you can and keep your heart young,' he said.
