昭告的后果

Ever since I annouced my wish/urge/plan for retirement, the one and only response is...you've guessed it: surprise.

Hmm...I am not a workaholic, so if I plan to retire now, it should not have drawn so much astonishment from people who really know me. Come to think of it, no one supports the idea! This is ludicrous, do you not think so???

My girlfriends go: "Why do you wanna retire?", "Are you sure you wanna do that?", "What are you gonna do after you retire?", "It will be boring, you know.", etc, etc. I got the gist :(.

No, I'm not swayed by their unsupportive gesture, but never expect such response when I made known to the world, on impulse. So, I ask my Significant Other, again, what he thinks of this idea of mine.

“我举双手双脚赞成！” He says. He is definitely for it coz he thinks my daily living ain't disciplined, or rather, topsy turvy. He always has no kind word when I stay up late and work up early the next day. Yes, he would rather I sleep to my fill.

"You are always sleep-deficit! How can you have slept enough?" He reprimands me. I don't wanna argue with him coz I know he has my welfare at heart. No matter the upmteen times I've told him I'm a night person and hate waking up early in the morning, I'll sleep when my bio-clock tells me so, etc etc, he can never comprehend. *Sigh*......

Anyway, I digress, a fair bit.

I am still harbouring the thought, not gonna give it up just coz my gal friends aren't for it. I do know I may find retirement a bore after a while coz ultimately I am a person who strives for adventures. Of course I won't jump on the wagon without a plan on hand. Can't imagine being a tai tai after retirement. Of course I would want to enjoy that for a fair bit :). Go shopping, at high-end shops and boutiques, go for high-tea when my legs are about to give way. Sipping my earl grey tea (argrrgh....I hate earl grey ;<), looking at life passing by. Ha, so siok :P. No?

What else can I do? Hmm......guess I really need to go and plan a bit, before I jump on the wagon.
