A friend of mine is joining the workforce again after retirement. Its quite a surprise because he has been enjoying retirement life in the paradise island of Langkawi thus far. When I was a retiree a few years ago, I enjoyed the free time and carefree days that it gives, so much so that there were times when I lost track of the days. I went to a bank to do business only to be told by the guard at the entrance that the bank is close because its a public holiday. I enjoyed the five times daily prayer at the nearby mosque. I enjoyed the freedom of not having to rush to work early in the morning, braving the horrendous traffic along the way. I didn't ask to come back to work. I was offered. Alhamdulillah, it came out of the blue and at a time when I really needed it although at that time, I didn't realise it.
