ANOTHER ONE TO GO...
Thinking back, it has been more than 3 years since I retired and never once looking back or missing my any of my job scope. All I miss is the morning breaks where we go out and "charge battery" before starting work each day! LOL... I miss the fun gathering together and the food discoveries every now and then. So .. whenever we have a chance, I for one would be looking forward to this type of gathering again, regardless of the whatever reason we could think of.
And now, another of my ex colleagues have reached her retirement age, compulsory not optional, so have to pack up and go gracefully.... LOL! Yes, some do miss working, it can be pretty depressing for some who are not ready to retire. However, on the brighter side, just tell ourselves... "Hey, this is it! Have been working non-stop for the past 30 years or more, this is the time to rest n relax!" Cheers!!
To celebrate our colleague's retirement, we gathered at Delight Restaurant for a scrumptious lunch!

ReplyDeleteIt sure is happy to be retiring so well worth this grand celebration of tasty food and good company.
ReplyDeleteI know you had so much fun back with your old group. It is still hard to believe you have been retired for so long, because you look so young!!
