Frequently Ask Questions for the newly married

Most Frequently Asked Questions.

How is life after marriage?

First, if you are married and not MBA… Life will still be the same. : -)
Everything will sort of still be the same.
I still sleep on the same side of bed.
I still keep 90% of wardrobe with my stuffs and he got 10% of the wardrobe space. :-)
I managed to monopoly the toilet with 80% of my stuffs and he got 10 % with 10% for others.
Overall, I get 80% of space in the house… Kitchen - my territory, Living room - my territory, garden - my territory and shoes cabinet of course - my territory.
And now, I got a hubby who loves me a lot and take care of me.

I think more or less, life has improved. : -)

However with more territory acquired, it comes with more responsibility and sense of belongings, thus all those above mentioned area… becomes part of my " JOB " too.

How do you like Bandung?

I like Bandung. The weather is good, and having our own space is great. There is less traffic and one really learnt how to slow down and enjoy life. Overall, if you want to get rest or retire, Bandung is a great place for that. It is very cooling during the rainy season, 14 C at night and 19 C in the afternoon. For Summer time, I have yet to find out.


Do you live with your-in-laws?

Nope, I don't live with my in-laws. In a way, it is good when we just got married and want to have more time for ourselves. And another thing, my hubby does not complain about my cooking, whether he likes it or not. I supposed that is the one most important thing about NOT living with in-laws… Different Queen of the house have different rules and taste buds. :-)

Do you know the roads in Bandung now?

Sorry, still do not know and most of the roads are one-way street. So it ain't easy. Just got my Grand Livina last week and have only driven it once on my own to my in-laws house. Have been driven by my hubby for the past month and NO, I don't pay attention to the roads when I am not behind the wheels.

Have you gained any weight since marriage?

Yes for me and No for my hubby… Don't ask me WHY… ; -(

Are you filled yet? = Are you pregnant yet?

NO… Don't plan to end my honeymoon season yet. : -)

So that is all for now… Will post more soon… ; -)

A new beginning, a new dawn

It is fairly common to hear " Wish you have a good beginning in this new journey" - " Selamat Menempuh Hidup Baru" - now these sentences bring a new meaning to me. Before, I often wonder how much different could it be between married and single life - surely I can handle everything smoothly.

Cinderella ended with a "Happily ever after" at the end of the story - I think the author of the story knew that things are not as easy as " Happily ever after" and just want to spare us the details of marriage life. On another side, I guess if you are as rich as the king to be in the story, then you might not have all the problems of common people like me. :-)

Now that I have entered marriage life for 1 month officially last 27th February 2008. I can only say " We are still on the honeymoon period" ;-) still calling each other with endearment and trying to be husband and wife as pictured in the fairly tale.
