I am delighted reading the feedback form Dato Bijayo Adi Satria Ahmad to my little story “Diet & exercise are vital but key to cognitive, physical health as we age is the diversity of our social circle”, published by newswav.com on Tuesday, 27 October 2026. I quote “Since retiring officially at end of 2010, which meant no more going to office, I did a few projects that allowed me to work at home. Yet I cannot help leaving home to meet home an old buddy for a project associated or be at the stall or mamak outlets for a tete-a-tete with few friends which are still available. The projects were diverse from preparing to set up a radio station to an advertisement campaign by some who needed my advice, or to a real media and marcom lecture at a Master's program invited by by Professor friend. My whole world view since then had gradually changed & the way to keep abreast and stay physically fit and mentally sane is to keep up within the realm of the information super highway. ”
Dato Bijayo who is actively involved with me with MyAeroSatu activities, added “While the brain keeps functioning with all these excitement, my body continued to function even more aggressively with outdoor recreational which include my passion of scuba diving, hill climbing and in the end during Covid times, it was just cycling - my main must do today as I reached my tender age of 75 years. In fact, it was the theme of a reunion of 54 old boys & girls of Penang Free School at our alma mater on 3-4 October 2026, in conjunction with the celebration of 210 years of establishment. What a great time to see these old farts still so active and dancing the night away at the OFA Penang. It goes to show the wisdom that growing old is inevitable, feeling old is really just an option.”
I agree with MyAeroSatu Secretary Dzul Bahrin Asmawi, that “It all started from the brain or as the experts say ‘we need to sharpen the saw everyday' with simple physical & mental exercises.”
