Sometimes I do wonder how I will be like when I become old.

I am not sure if I wanna be spending time in an old folks' home. Not sure if a retirement village is plausible for me though.

I read one edmw article
The ah mah  went to stay old folks home cos she needed help w daily activities but her children all either got spouses needing them o care or they also can't spare time or fitness level to help her daily
So she go

Then later she squabble / hv mini fight w one or two of her co habitants at the home so she left and went back to her own house at circuit road. She do everything v v v slowly but at least she s independent and she said she got freedom .. not needing to be limited by home 's rules or who they make her neighbours to be .

So my Tk is , if u sociable n chincai n mostly mobile stay where is ok : yr own preference

If one is immobile then everyth also no choice alr ..
even hire a maid but ultimately they r here as hired worker , e kind of care a family member can do for u out of love is way different.. that s why so many rather hire maid to help them but ownself be caregiver to their loved one

Key thing : can u try to ensure yr own fitness n mobility thru out old age lor

I agree with the last sentence. In Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, the old people would rather be in retirement homes because of the above.

Unfortunately, the same logic doesn't apply to Singapore.

And then people wonder why we don't wanna have kids these days.
