Retired ! .. Bersara ! ….

Making money is an on-going process. I have my small business company registered and running one year after my retirement. I knew nothing about the internet business otherwise, it would be an ideal opening as we are actually doing it at home free from interferences and what is more it is at our own pace of time?.

I retired from office at the age of fifty-five that is the legal retirement age in the private sector in Malaysia. (more…)

My travelings, readings and writings have actually opened up my mind, widen my knowledge and broaden my experiences with more important essence that it leads me to appreciate my life more than ever before.

When things get bored my other favorites gardening and photographing appears to smoothen my times cheerfully. What I see, what I feel and what I wanted to do seems to be disappointing at times. Believe it or not such hobbies helps to cheer up the life and ease some doubts . Flowers I planted most are roses and hibiscus that is a common tropical plant with large bright-colored flowers. As roses are colorful so are our lives as sixties are as beautiful as the thirties …. (more…)

Since my retirement few years ago I have successfully set up two small self-proprietorship companies within one year intervals. The first was trading and later a retail business. Setting up a retail business to me is within the reach of many people. For trading it requires a quite substantial cash outlays. No matter what the size our small business is the costs incurred in the set up are unthinkable.

At time of writing this update my health is good and physically strong. Being sixty I don’t feel any difference. Free to do the odd jobs such as painting, gardening, growing vegetables, reading and writing articles. My daily gets started as early as 5:00 in the morning to be in the mosque before the morning Azan Subuh prayer.

Life is really changing without one noticing it.  Feeling fit as ever, quite often I got tired fast after some light exercise and ended up with a short nap in the late morning.  My worries started as it was becoming an habitual. Not sure if it is a normal thing to happen when a man reaches sixty.  Upon advise of my doctor and friends of my age I resumed taking food supplements which I dropped several months ago with new self budget.  True it works, food supplement helps.  Will the cutting on such spending really worth?.  Think about it should you experience the same.

I was busy doing postings of my outlet daily sales to my Sales Ledger. Still struggling for an income. Came my daughter Hatifa with her cute baby-boy in hand to my screen admiring …. my time could be more gainful in the internet business she commented. My son-in-Law Acad an IT engineer recommended me three books and few selected reading articles on internet business. Interestingly I have never been able to finish a book in a week. But there I was … Three books in three nights word by words. I was motivated by the new way of making money.  Hope it works ……
