Retirement, after a while you will feel bore and want to keep yourself occupied. However, we also do not want to work in a bullshit job just to get benefit. Time need to be well spend and chosing what to do can be really difficult. So have someone to share they insight into great retirement lifestyle and mindset is golden.
Recently heard a good podcast.
I want to share 2 points of take away from the video.
Being busy only force you to keep using your usual path which will yield mediocre result. Slow wealth requires you to have spare time to test around with unusual / tougher path.
When your ability is more than what you desire, you will have surplus. When you do not have high ability you should reduce your desire. When you have high desire then increase your ability. Both is within your control.
Today we were gathering at a Queenstown Kaki event talking about a SAGE project. Where we gather community together to assess, review, suggest and implement town improvement for community benefit. This project also allows community to get involved and take ownership in the community they are living in. We were blessed to be able to involve in my lovely Queenstown Estate.
Queenstown estate had some sentimental value as I was coined as the "Meiling Boy" by my peer. For I loitered around the neigherhood while I was in my teenager time while all my other peer loitered around Orchard road. I just to just hang around stepping the stone flooring for theraphy when I had nothing to do.
I never really remember how the Queenstown cinema inside looks like. When I was a teenager I had the impression that the cinema serve really old movie or R-rated movie which I cannot watch at that time. So I go there for entertainment like bowling, playing billard and pool or hang out around the arcade and Lan shop that school boys play King of Fighters or Counter Strikes.
This NTUC is where I always go get my cold drink when I wanna take a break from the Lan shop gaming of Counter Strike :)
Sharing some hidden location. Actually there is a "mini arcade / KTV / pool table" entertainment outlet inside of Queenstown swimming complex. You can walk in after operating hour of the swimming pool, get pass the running track and climb the stadium staircase and enter via a back door entrance. It was a pretty quiet place as we hang around quite often at the place we can only see "regular customer" coming in and kind of not new known to the public. I guess Queenstownian might not even know the place.
There are more to share like the Margret drive hawker, Old Queenstown Community centre, Queenstown remand prison etc. But I am kinda playful boy so I remember only those entertainment center.
I felt the world moves faster and faster.
As construction method improves and project schedule shortened. Demolision method was used to tear down building faster.
Now the Queenstown with those BTO project coming in, more young families will move into the estate and everything will be very modern.
Queenstown used to be the chilled and lay back area where all the people looks like retirees. Queenstownian don't really work that long and close shop pretty early. Moving forward as more fresh blood (young families) enter the neighbhoor, the hustle culture of the busy morning MRT will make Queenstown not the same anymore.
