Time spend learning

Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months.

WordPress

Back in 2004, I only heard about 2 blogging engines, Movable Type and WordPress. I didn’t choose those, because I have the mindset about mySQL and the PHP. Not sure why, probably because I was a noob back then. I registered as a blogger in Blogger instead.

After a few round of checking around the web, working on some funny web projects and selling them off, making me wonder what did I learn all those years. I was thinking to take things a bit more serious, so I joined the WordPress community.

Update
However, I wasn’t that serious on web back then. It was advertising field that I’m hunting toward. Until 2 years ago, I started to develop WordPress and understand how it works.

There is this little problem I find with WordPress – update (or upgrade whichever you like to call it). It is both good and bad on the update. I got more secure and knowing that WordPress is still running on the net, and I get to learn more detailed features of the version.

This WordPress learning alone has already took me more than 10 hours per week!

The same old thing happen in my personal life too. You see, it is totally different when you compare a single person with a person with spouse. Whatever you can mention are not exactly what it will looks like, it’s more than that. Learning to adopt that is… Still weird for me. Think about having another 2 families going to form after a marriage, 1, in-law, 2, your own. There are a lot more situation to get use to and changes happen too. Starting to get formality for myself, top wrinkle creams are in my shopping list, gym is weekly must-go place and etc. A lifetime of learning…

Whatever I do, I can’t stop, especially getting use and learning some extra point in life and career. Even if I stop, I will have to pick it up again from the point I stopped, why bother???

I just did it

Double
Long distance relationship has been a topic among friends. Some friends even worrying my girlfriend would go check on another guy on the other end of the world, for me. Thanks anyway. Seriously, some even thought that our plan was to get her a Malaysian PR and divorce after that. After all those great bunch of funny story, I think they should at least give it an end? :)
My Day
It’s very subjective when it comes to relationship. Trust, responsible, patient and all kind of, important intangible stuffs, or emotional. Well, that’s what makes us a human being, and should be grateful to have them. But one will have to keep those for as long as possible after a new beginning.
Friends
Many thanks and appreciation to those who come all the way to Medan from KL and Seremban and Sibu and Jakarta and those who gave lots of wishes on Facebook :P . I’m not comfortable to give thank you speech, so that’s all :)

I choose marriage

Just a head up so people don’t come and ask the same questions over and over again. I can’t believe people still asking such questions on my age (25)…

My girl friend is not pregnant

No. I am not going to be father so soon. As a matter of fact, I actually don’t want to be father. Raising a kid and keeping them is a long term commitment, I will never ready for that yet. She is fine at home working and live happily with her family. I understand that a month back we went to Perhentian Island for a short vacation, but no, accident did not happen. And no, no plan for children yet, just don’t ask. I am not ready to see mini-wongpk running around the house yet, disgusting!

Pressure from parent

No. I do understand, the average age for Sibuan to get marriage is about 21 to 25, but my mom did not force me yet. Because I already has a girl friend, so she is fine with my choice. My girl friend parent in fact, wanted to wait for another 2 years. But some circumstances came in, the last step to go for was to “buy” back home instead of “renting” every few months which is very expensive.

Very rich, only work for few months can get marry

Not exactly. In fact, it is all the saving I have on this marriage. Both of us has been working freelance online 2 years ago. So 2 years of freelance saving + few months of considerable high paying salary, I think it speak itself :)

There! I don’t know how many people assuming I am becoming a father soon. I’m not embarrassed by this even if this really happen. I mean, why is it the only reason to get marriage? Are people still has such a stereotype mindset? Marriage is where 2 persons come together into a lifestyle, live together. It is not because of unborn child so 2 persons has to be together to be a legit parent for the unborn child ok?

Done! :)
