SyerantoMarcello: PENSIONER PARENTS

Assalamualaikum orang!

It's been a month and few days my mom retired. So, when I'm looking at her right now, I can see that she feels bored at home. Since, I'm working on my thesis writing, the only good thing happens in the house right now is ME! Hah!

So, to ensure that I'm her happiness remedy, ehem! (Slightly come forward to the front stage) I'm ~~thinking out loud~~, I mean, thinking that there's few things that we can do together.

Plus, we can stay close to each other while spending time together. Now, let's scroll down and see what 7 options do we have......

1) Ipad- Lotsssss of game! <3

Well, I'm not going to argue with you the disadvantages of Ipad here. The pro is actually to stay SANE. Get the brain working and stuff. As they grew older, they need some interactive activities to sustain their ability to think. I'm not going to say they will be a little off when they were retired, but after spending half of their lives working, they need this to channel their mind to something positive.

2) Books

BOOKS!! I love reading books! If you could see my mom books collection in the past, you'll be amazed. A few years back, she switches her interest to cook book. Now, I slowly turn her direction to motivation book. For example, Mudahnya Menjemput Rezeki. I think she needs this. Plus, she actively goes to Usrah near our surau and learn Tafseer, kitab and sometimes she drags me along! To give full comprehend, I think buying her religion book can help her understand better. Good option, isn't it?

3) Cook and cook...

My mom loves to try new things and she has quite a number of cookbooks. Normally it turns out good we truly enjoy her cooking. However, selecting a good cookbook can be frantic. There is a lot to choose from but to choose the best is always the hardest one. I, normally go for the author and types (baking, decorating, grill and stuff) of cookbook.

4) Food tester <3

Let's bring her outside to drink coffee or lunch and watch people. Good suggestion!!

5) Planting

My mom loves orchid so muchhhh! At home the only person in charge of landscaping, flower and any soil related is my father. He's the who rajin to water the plant, buy more flower and fertilize them. My mother basically, accompany him to buy more flower at the nursery. So, one day, she told my father, that she wants to plant orchid, well, we both (my father and I) know that, it WOULD not happen, and usually, it ends up my father will take care of the plant. So maybe, if I get her an orchid for a start, maybe something amazing will happened?
