Growing old need not mean sad, lonely days

At least once a week, Ms Mabel Wee, 62, meets a group of up to eight friends for a few hours of music, fun and food.
They chat, share a meal and sing as they strum ukuleles, which they all learnt to play recently.
These get-togethers started shortly after Ms Wee, a retired school principal who is single, returned from visiting her 78-year-old cousin who lives in a retirement community in Los Angeles.
She was struck by what she saw. Residents suggested and took part in activities they liked, got their chores done by staff - and socialised.
