My friend is planning to retire really soon....any ideas how to
pass time?
Well, maybe you can list down all those things you want to do now
before you go into semi-retirement or full retirement later. You
must keep yourself active. Surfing the internet and chatting on
your mobile phone or PC, talking/drinking coffee, tea or beer with
your friends at the coffeeshop, watching tv, listening to radio or
reading at home the whole day is not it. The real world is out
there not the internet. Take your time to do things that you like
to do. As for myself while I'm into semi-retirement now, I started
to paint the fences, maingate and house, gardening, cook ( I don't
always eat out), repair the things within and outside the house
myself like a handyman, took a bus trip to other part of Malaysia
or budget trip to other countries whereby Singapore or Malaysian
currency is higher, reading, exercise, bbq with friends in the
garden, started giving away my unused clothings to charity, visit
my neighbours and help them with gardening or painting or repairs
etc. There are many things you can do when you go into
semi-retirement or full retirement next time. And you can also seek
your spiritual path without thinking about your work....that is the
way to do it. You must see what is life and how its going to end
too for yourself...you will know what I mean when you are into
semi-retirement or full retirement later.
