Well, after so much procrastination I have overcomed the inertial and am now writing this very first blog.
Since my retirement from a engineering consultancy company some 2 and a half years back, I have explored the many options of life, of how I want to spend my remaining time. Whether to continue with the pursuit of material gains or to seek a 'higher' sense of self satisfaction. The former is an endless pursuit, whilst the latter allows one to achieve the higher hiearchachy of satisfaction. To reach this, my innate self tells me to seek ways to contribute back to the community. After much soul searching, I have enrolled in a Community and Social Services (Elder Care) course in which I hope to play a positive role (and not a burden) in theageing population of Singapore. Its real scary to look at the statistics of how quickly the population ages, made worse by the numerous chronic diseases that can inflict all.
I am a 'newbie' in this field and have much to learn, and I do look forward to how I can contribute better after the course.
