In July, my sister is retiring

My one and only sister is retiring in July. She has been working like crazy for years and she needs to take a break for quite some time.
At first she was worried to let our parents know of her intention. Somehow, God surprised her!
Our dad's reaction was completely out of our mind. He supported her 100%. He patted on her back and longed the month of July to come. He is hoping to spending time with her during his retirement period.

Today, she told her supervisor. At first, she wasn't certain of her decision. I told her to look upon GOD and seek HIS answer. She then firmly said that it was God's will for her to retire.
If God says so, it's up to us to choose to trust or not to trust HIM. She chose to trust HIM.
I am proud of what she decides! She has chosen the best in her life - trusting GOD.

In the middle of July, she will be moving in to Salatiga. AHA! Full house! Dad, Mom, Koh Han (my oldest brother - who is still single, but no longer available), my sister (still single and available...anyone???), and of course, Koko and I.
Since Mom and Dad moved in, we got a lot of stuffs in the house. You name it! hehehe :p

Talking about retirement, Dad is still looking for a number of possibilities of spending his retirement period, starting from boarding house, public library, restaurant, property/ construction, pet shop, etc. He has got a lot in his mind.
Once he was thinking to work part-time in another company in Pekalongan. He went to meet the company owner, but he wasn't there.
4 out of his 5 kids object to his intention to work again. Strangely, my other brother said that he preferred to let our dad work in a factory than climbing a ladder and fell down. Well..one day, when he was fixing a lamp outside the house, he fell down from the ladder. The next day, dad told mom that his back was in pain.
