Updates after a while

Assalamualaikum

Dah lama tak menulis dalam blog ini. Sampai terlupa rasenye ada blog. Well.. the are a lot to update in this blog. Since I last wrote in this blog, there have been 3 major updates in my life. First, I got married. Then, I finished my pre-employment training (10 months!) and enter the service with the Government of Malaysia. And last but not least, I have become a father. It all happened in the span of 2 years.

Let's start of with me being a husband. At the age of 29, I concluded my love life. And since then, I feel complete. The feeling is different. Susah nak cakap. Korang kawen la dulu baru tau. Hahaha... Sebagai seorang yang biased towards introvert, aku memang prefer spend masa sorang-sorang. Tapi bila dah kawen ni, of course la masa sorang-sorang tu dh susah nak dapat. But surprisingly, I have never find it to be something that bothers me. I love to spend my time with my wife. Just the 2 of us (cue the music please). Perhaps my introvert compound has extended to include my wife as well. Since then, we started to live together and trying to be independent from our parents. I still remember when we first moved to our current home. There's only a queen bed in the master bedroom and shortly after that, we bought a sofa in the living room. It was fasting month. Therefore, we have to break fast on the floor hearing our own voice echoed through the space. Hahaha.. One more thing, there was no fridge. Thus, I have to buy ice everyday and put that ice in an ice box together with our drink for breaking fast just for the sake of having a nice cool water. Hahaha... Those days are over now but somehow, it is a very good reason for us to hang on to each other.

My wedding day


Few months after that, my wife got pregnant and I finished my training. I was posted to the Prime Minister Department (not office ya. There is a big difference between department and office). People often say that as a PTD officer, you will always be busy. I guess it depends on your posting. As for me, the level of 'busyness' is seasonal. Sometimes, I will be extremely busy especially when there are meetings of programs coming but it is nothing that I could not cope. So far so good. To say that I love doing what I am doing right now is a bit of an overstatement. I guess the right word is fine. Nothing negative and nothing positive. However, almost 1 and half years being here, the urge to try something new is strong. Hahaha...

DPA Convocation

And the latest news is I have become a father! Well... It was more than a year ago tho.. We are blessed with a healthy baby boy. There are all sort of feelings when you become a father/mother. You will always feel worry from the moment your children is born up until they are grown up. Basically you are either worry about them or you die. Seriously. Kalau tak percaya, dapatlah anak dulu. Baru korang tau. But when you see your children's face, your worry goes away.

Yawning

Right now, we are in serious house hunting. We plan to buy a house within the vicinity of Putrajaya. Initially we plan to buy a landed house in Putrajaya because we heard that there will be a new project coming this year. But through my market intelligence exercise, I have to forget about it. The price is beyond reach even when taking consideration of the discount I might get as a civil servant. So bye bye Putrajaya. But honestly, house price is crazy right now. Very difficult for people of my age to buy one.

Well.. that's all for this time. Thanks for reading! Salam Aidiladha and Assalamualaikum.
