The Senior Years

Acquiring new skills at 82!

Yesterday I had the good fortune to run into Mrs Liew.

We just about met each other last week.

So, we spent some time talking when we went together to submit our Genting Warrant subscription at Tricor in North Tower, Mid-valley as well as over a drink at Little Penang.

What I found fascinating is that at 82, she is fit as a fiddle, travels well and can still drive very well.

Driving a storm!

She told me she started driving when I was only 5.

She bought her semi-D  house at a shockingly low price of RM 22K.

Those were the days, I told myself.

I would not walk her path even in my dreams.

She already has 8 grandchildren.

She spends her time exercising in the morning; cooks her own meals and have the occasional liquid diet.

For recreation, she watches the Hokkien series on TV8 and whiles her time away at Aeon Big in Subang Jaya.

She now wants someone to teach her computer skills.

Great senior citizen, this!
