Hi Singapore parents
I read with interest 2 articles in today’s Straits Times - Mind and Body section:
- Retire, but keep working on Page 2 and
- Working retirees in better health on Page 5
I cannot agree more. After retirement, one must continue to work in some ways to stay active. That way, you will also be in better health.
3 years ago, I opted for early retirement with my company of more than 30 years. I remembered my HR Manager telling me: “June, you are still young. Why do you want to retire?” My answer was: “I have given 30 years of my life with this company. I want to try new things and do things that I like.”
Well, I must say the last 3 years have been very fulfilling for me. I have been working part-time to get things going as I still have 3 school going children. During this time, I also learn many new things and made many new friends.
What I would like to share is you have a choice. Be it wealth, career, health, family, knowledge and social aspects, you decide what you want. For me, my concentration is on health, family and knowledge.
For healthy living, I practise Reiki and watch my diet. Reiki has helped my physical being to look younger and rid me of many ailments. As for diet, have been dishing out salads and simple delicious meals which my family enjoys.
For family, I am glad that I am able to spend more time with my mum who is catching up life in her 70s. For my children, I am pleased to see them growing up to be confident and mature kids.
For knowledge, this is a never ending journey. New found interest was acting with Theatre For Seniors with The Necessary Stage since March 2008. We will be staging another public performance in March 2010.
So Singapore parents who are thinking of retirement, do plan and stay active. That’s the way to go . . .

Thank you for a very clear and helpful post. I am definitely a violator of many of these rules. I often find myself conflicted when writing a blog post because I see myself writing more than people want to read, but I feel that I have to do the subject matter justice by thoroughly covering it. I feel that by following some of these rules I end up cutting out important aspects to the discussion. I guess you have to find a balance.
I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it.I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
What a good blog you have here. Please update it more often. This topics is my interest. Thank you. . .

hi it is my first reply on this web and at first I would like to thank you for the great quality information, which I found in this and all previous posts , it really helped me very much. I will definitely iclude this website on my google reader
Also, I would like to ask - don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your website since I am writing articles for the Bukisa, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your website title or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct backlink to your website).

Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.
I’d actually twitter this specific thing today
Nice! I don’t mind an educational article once in a while! They don’t all need tobe so serious ;-P … I sit all day at work in front of a computer and I need something to keep me awake and entertained, lol. Thanks again. Later

I happen to be surfing on the internet a lot more than 3 hours currently, yet I never identified any exciting content like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers created very good content material as you did, the world wide web will likely be a lot more useful than truly previous to.

There’s a book identified as “Avoid Retirement And Remain Alive”. The idea is the actuality that retirement has no location in modern-day society. In the event you are able to make perform enjoyable by balancing it against the other points you would like to complete, then you have the ability to live like you’ve got all of the time within the globe.
