The makings of a coffee shop MAN

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

I got hitched. To my beloved wife, Vivien, who is still in Hong Kong at this moment. Happened over Chinese New Year, which is kinda sucky as seeing that will no longer be receiving red packets from here on end. In addition to that, it’s supposed to be tradition to give DOUBLE on the first year. Then again, I’m more of a white guy than a China-man, so I follow the more favorable terms set by credit cards… first year annual fee waiver.

And those repetitive questions… Gotta love em. "How did you meet her?" "Are you moving over?". Fine, those are relatively straightforward. It’s the more abstract ones like "Sooooo, how’s married life?". Like I’d be all Zen-like about marriage life in 4 days. But, I resolve to not be bitter, and have responded in 6 words…

"Less thinking, more time, no straying".

Guys, our time is up. Run for the hills!
