advising me

Killing time is one of the problems faced when people go into retirement, especially those who fail to plan before they retire. They visit their former office at regular interval and finally realize they are not welcome. Staff simply pretend to be busy and some ignore them totally. Upper level pensioner distribute name cards claiming to be expert on this and that. Those with lots of cucu (grandsons, grandaughters) spend time visiting them, and bear the burden of being bullied by the cucu-cucu buas. Some undergo sedentary life: reading newspapers, watch tv, makan, minum and tidur. To get attention and to show power lost after retirement some even provoke and 'fight' with their wife. Flirting for those who feel young at heart, extra money to spend, and unaware that rumah kata pergi kubur kata mari.
Time lost is like kaca terhempas kebatu. Devastation. With little time left which Allah gives to you now, what are going to do? At this age, you can be an aruah at any time Allah wishes. What is the best choice?
Allah says: By time. Verily man is in loss. Except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds and (join together) in the mutual teaching of truth and of patience and constancy (Surah: 95)

Before being call to Allah just do this: have faith in Allah alone, do good deeds, advise others wisely, patience always in good and bad time.

introducing me

almost 3 years now since I retired from my govt service and it seems just a couple of days ago. Time runs so quickly. I always wonder why when I am down with flu or fever, it takes longer days to recover compare to a few years ago. My legs feel uneasy when I stand too long queuing to pay my bills or cramp painfully when I do some stretching on bed early in the morning. The skin especially around the neck look dry, loose and it stretches longer when pull. There are prominent wrinkles in between the eyebrow with baggy skin below the eyes. Cheeks beginning to sag, rough and dry. I still got a few hairs on my head but its all grey and listless, thinly in front, both sides and at the back of the head but almost empty on top. No wonder barber takes only a few seconds to finish doing my hair. Sleep is easy (alhamdulillah). While sitting on sofa watching tv, or lying down on carpet without bantal. Waking up from this improper sleep bring pain to neck and shoulders, and I need lots of minyak kapak or minyak urut to cure it.
As age catches you up, your strength reduced, your tissue deteriorated and finally when you are placed in the grave after the roh left your body, you body deteriorated completely and you are totally blended with earth. So whats left to help you: Prophet says your good deeds that you do during your life time, your sons or daughters who pray for you, benefial knowledge that you passed to others.
