My retirement plan 1. Hello! Go shopping. Are you kidding? I’ve got a lot of housework to do. Ok! Next time, bye. 2. Hello! Oh!王建民 is coming back to Taiwan? But I have to make lunch later. 3. Hi!there!倒扁??go to Taipei,yes.I’ll do up and down…in front of TV. Before I got married ,I was so happy because I could do everything I wanted .But after married….Let me ask all the married members here, Can we do anything we want now? We dedicate ourselves to our kids ,our family. It is meaningful, but when can we do anything we want? In my retirement I will do everything I wanted to. My auntie, she is 73 years old. One day I came to visit her. As I sat down,she started crying (開始演哭戲) ”My daughter-in-law is not responsible. She doesn’t cook for me, doesn’t take me out for eating, shopping and dating…poor me.…..Ladies and gentlemen,when you are 70 years old,do you want to be like my auntie? So
once my friend asked me “ Jessie , will you ask for your daughter
–in -law to cook dinner ?” I thought for a while and replied “ Maybe
I’ll tell her ! Oh ! Dear , I am so sorry. I can’t have dinner with
you guys . Because auntie Emily ,Sammi and Cathy ask me to play M-J
. It is up to you to cook or not .” You guys must think playing M-J doesn’t make sense. No! No! No ! Do you want this card to hang on your neck when you’re old? I don’t want to get Alzheimer’s disease when I am old, therefore I choose this hobby . Not only I can play M-J but also practice my English.----- But how? Let me show you. ”Emily! It is your turn .Hurry up ok ! You are swiming too slowly .Middle 碰.Cathy, wait . It is 發..碰Ho!Ho!My turn again.Wow!white board.Ya ! I got big 3 dollars ,(大三元)and touched myself (自摸) I won! I won ,after contest you three don’t forget to pay me the money.” Of course after the table exercise, we can go shopping and have many cups of afternoon tea. And then enjoy our dinner in a nice restaurant. For our nights, they could not possibly be boring. Sometimes we can go singing pretend we are superstars.(singing…..) Or go dancing pretend we’re youngsters. See! How exciting and interesting my retirement would be! But the most important thing is that I won’t give up my Fluency Toastmaster. I’ll present my speech even though I am 72 years old like Charles . Maybe at that time , I would say “ Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, when I was 32 years old . In my speech , I swore I could continue my speech , because Dear Cathy has been our EVP for 40 years ….so today is my…. A250 and I’ll join speech contest next month. Do
you envy my retirement ? How to make it come true ? Here are three
suggestions .
Forever Happy rule NO.1: Have many good friends . When our children
grow up or get married, we won’t feel alone. Besides if one of my
good friends die, I could still have another 3 M-J players.
Forever rich rule NO.2: Save your money now. Then you won’t show
your hand to your children for money.Right? By the way, without
money, no one wants to play M-J with you.
Forever young rule NO.3:
Stay active and healthy. Climb Mountain Jade again if you can. But
watch out your steps, don’t get hurt. Because M-J is not allowed in
the hospital. To enjoy our retired life is a lesson that you and I have to learn. You want your retired life to be as lonely as my auntie’s or as fantastic as Mine? Mine,right ! Ok! From now on, start keeping good friends, saving money and stay in good health. Come to join our English M-J club. If you are interested but don’t know how to play, don’t worry, we will teach you for free! Learn it right now! Life is short, time is money. Hope all of our dream retirements come true. Emily,Sammi ,Cathy ,don’t forget, later 4 o’clock , my house. Toastermaster.
