Its a different ball game for me now. At sixty years old, I am learning many new things, developing new skills, setting different kind of goals and having a new set of friends, all younger than me off course. If before, my work colleague were mainly Malays, with only a few Chinese and Indians and other minority races, now its the other way round. My colleagues are 95% Chinese now. I have to adapt to their different way of life, thinking and culture. For example we had our annual dinner last night. It started at 6.30pm. That's a dinner time alien to me as before, any dinner I attended would normally start at 8pm or later, to time in the Maghrib prayers. This time, there was no such consideration. Alhamdulillah, there was a surau nearby. I was able to slip away for a short while to fulfill my obligation.
