This is rather belated but I retired from IIUM on Jan 11, 2023. The first week felt like liberation. Total freedom. Masuk Week 2, I started feeling lost. Rang up a few friends, long time retirees. Is this normal? Im feeling down. Lost. They said it was normal. Just get into a routine and I will be ok.
So I found my routine. I still give talks, write papers. Then makan tidur makan tidur. I picked up pilates but now tht it is Ramadan, I stop dulu. Pilates is good. I hv a good personal coach.
Wht I love about being retired is tht I hv more time for friends and families. Priceless!
And I shld go bck to writing fiction. And painting. Sibuk juga persaraan ni sebenarnya.
Alhamdulillah masih bernyawa to do good things.
