Maybe he dun have a make-up artist following him any more.
Or maybe he is spending more time playing golf ?
He is pretty low profile so we may not monitor how much he aged.

For those thinking about retirement — have you ever wondered what life will feel like when work is no longer part of your everyday routine?

We came across this interesting CNA commentary on one retiree’s first month after leaving a four-decade career:

“Who am I when the phone stops ringing? Lessons from my first month of retirement”
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/com...-identity-meaning-phone-stops-ringing-6298296

One part stood out:


We often prepare financially for retirement, but what about the sense of purpose and routine that work gives us?

For some, retirement means slowing down. For others, it could mean staying active through mentoring, volunteering, part-time or fractional work.

If you’re approaching retirement, what would you want this next stage to look like?

And if you’re already retired — was the transition what you expected?

This question.

U got a lot of time to ponder over when you retire

Than what?

So many more things can do.

First off. Slow down my pace.
No need to wake up early and join the rush hour.

Avoid the crowd.

That's a good plan!

No more KPI to meet.
No more black face boss to report to.

Also no more colleagues/friends to gossip with. No one to lunch with.

Totally depends on individual. Some people work very long years in the same company, developed very deep friendship already.
can go travelling together. Kids grow up together.

Some colleague very toxic. Always trying to backstab you. Good riddance.

Same here. Those who don't gossip can't work in corporate.

Use the Silver Passion Concession Card and take aircon buses from one hawker centre to another, go round to see the estate's shopping malls morning 9 am to evening 5 pm, like working.
Saw so many elderly couples go to JB area, la-kopi there. Or even to Genting play jackpot machines, enjoy the cool air there. Some elderlies join a popular travel agency and have become long term frens liao.

Actually do nothing is also good. Rest. Peace. Relax.

Then after mind is at peace can think of what to do. You got no hobbies?
