Two years ++ since covid said hello. I can hardly remember how life was back then. Not only did we live without mask back then. We could travel around without having a demanding toddler to entertain too hah. Indeed the flavor of life, the 'suan, tian, ku, la' are perfected in a married life. No wonder they have that game when you gate crash, getting you to taste all kind of weird stuff. Because indeed.. you would not have imagined how it tastes like. The full spectrum of marriage, kids, and everything else that comes with it. I told my wife recently, during one of those late night chat we had after the boss toddler was asleep and the clock just stroke 12.. 'I don't get it. How did I have so much time back then? There was a year where I spent 3 weeks in Europe and almost 2 week in Korea. Plus some weeks in Jakarta and Bali. Now? I don't even look forward to holiday.

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me.
