I'm 55 today.

Today is your 55th birthday. The entire school from your boss (head), fellow colleagues (teacher) to your students gathered to celebrate your retirement day.
Your final working day at school.
Are you feeling happy or sad ?




I'm particularly struck by this....when a fellow buddy splashed this question to me...!

When I am fifty-five.....let's see.

At this stage of life, I SHOULD some what...

1.achieved the equilibrium of my prime.

2.experienced various kinds of typhoon, tornado that occurs.

3.enjoyed many happy occasions with loved ones...

After a thorough serious...thought......

I had worked like hell for 30 over years and done everything I was told to do and rather more....uncountable...! I spent my entire adult life in pursuit of $$$$$....and forgo my other dreams.

In quick succession, I began to make two noises...Ahhh ! .........followed by Arrgghhhh!

I don't want to be 55 so soon.

I realise something here.
Life is pretty short...I must learn to enjoy every minute of it. No doubt, $$ does offer a warranty to a decent life but not bring happiness if one doesn't appreciate life.

Later....I'm going to talk a stroll along my Taman...and smell the 'lallang' and admire that nuisance trees which had been contributing dried leaves to my porch. Every now and then, I am going to enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding me....b4 it gotten too late.

Everyone including yours truly deserve HAPPINESS.
