Beginning of May 2023 marked the second year since I retired from work. Conducted my first review in year one Year 2022 after retirement, and thought it might be good to re-analyze my retirement plan deeper in retirement year number two.
Perhaps, the best retirement second anniversary is celebrated by joining the 頭城農場 day tour organised by NTU Alumni in taiwan. I recorded the tour on video, edited and share the sweet memories.
NTU alumni
It's lucky that Taiwan has a small batch of Alumni with its objective being connecting socially and not purely on professional ground. Whether it is yearly AGM or activities, my strategy is to support Chairman and be present, but refrain from holding any official post. May be helping in taking photos and video editing. Recent events, chairman allows invitation of friends to event, which l invite friend Janny Koh to join.

Health Status
Though the body’s back still felt stiff when sit for a longer period of time. But it has become less stressful because of regular hiking and dancing activities. Some YouTuber mentioned, retirement need to include un-predicted expenses. Furthermore, highlighting medical expenses in video progrmme being one major “un-predictable” huge expenses. Thus, it is of uptmost important to always upkeep health to the ultimate tiptop condition whenever possible. Regular meal and less overeating like buffet, less rice intake and more vegetables. Myself has starts to take less sugar and tries more KoSong drinks. Sugar intake do affect tooth health condition, need to brush teeth’s when taking sweet desserts. Outdoor social activities is very important by going out, instead of staying at home watching TV and access internet more passively.
Financial Status
The feeling of seeing my HuaNan saving account money's amount dwindling is a little uneasy. Luckily, the regular passive income from flat rental lighten the stress. Currently, rental amount accumulated is used to invest stable SG share stock with relatively good dividend, with assumption such investment being bank’s fixed interest. Jenny has also starting her CPF Life topping up to enjoy the better interest. Hope things goes well when we reached 65 years old.
Socializing Skillset
Two years of interacting with Taiwanese friends at dance classes have definitely made me a better person with improved people communicating skills. Emphasis the important of looking at their viewpoints and improve my listening skill. Decided on best strategy by knowing one person per classroom and concentrate my attention, instead diltuing recources by knowing everyone. It seem to be a good strategy.
Making home breakfast skill
Waking automating around 6am as I reached 60 year old. Thus, it is also good timing to prepare simple breakfast and boiling hot water daily,
Internet & Social Media
Current status includes maintaining three Facebook Acoounts （Personal Profile, Singa FB and 新生公園 FB), Blogging at Mountaining and Singaporeaness to keep myself in both Chinese and English minimum level writing skill. IG purposes is to keep the foods photo records.Not forgetting my own personal homepage setup and pracising my GoPro and video editing capabilties.
