We will be there sooner than we can imagine!

I remember the comment of one of my ex colleagues before we reached our retirement age. We were then casually talking about old people. He said: "Very soon, we'll be there"!

Now we are already there...and some have passed...

First sign is ....... you get invite for eldershield. I still remember [laugh]

i look at the cost of old age home for about 10 years. not including the cost of medical and hospital before i get there.

then i look at having fun, eating and drinking to an early grave. 

option 2 is still cheaper and more enjoyable way to go. die cock stand is the best.

But not too early. Keep yourself fit, slim and healthy till kids are independent, then go all out having fun. Don't go while kids still need you.

I would like to have a child, till she is 2 years old. After that I'll put her up for adoption on Carousell. If it's a boy, I'll put it up on Carousell right after birth.

Photo quite nice :grin:

  • Half of unmarried respondents in a survey by TODAY felt that marriage was important
  • But only 44 per cent said it was important or very important to have a child in future
  • Cost of living, stressful education system and lacking quality time were the top concerns among all respondents
  • Among women, health concerns related to pregnancy and childbirth was the biggest worry

Went for lunch just now, walked past a vet. Young couple sitting in the queue. With two rabbits in a cage [laugh]

My wifey commented that rabbits not only give less disturbance as pets, they also don't make much sound [laugh]

Having had rabbits for 13 years, they do make noise especially early morning when their food bowl is empty. They will bang their empty food bowl on the floor to get our attention. 

And when they angry, they will stamp their hind feet on the ground.
