However, sometimes I think life for the past four years were very stagnant. This is getting worse when I completely stopped working and loss my personal social life. Living in Malaysia for 3.5 years and Canada for almost 2 years made me have different kind of perspectives towards marriage life. The marriage life that I am experiencing is totally different from the marriage life that I ever thought and saw in overseas. Sometimes I think that I got married too early.
Absolutely I love my precious 2 kidos more than anything in the world for sure. However, I still think that I need to have a personal life to make it balanced. I hate it when people said, so you want to have your own life and abandon your two children? I think those people have no brains. There are things that we need to do when we are still young and still able to do. If I missed that, I am afraid that regret will come in the future.
For those people who haven't married and realized that you are not a stayed home mom. I would advise you to talk to your partner before the marriage. Make some arrangement to have your own time in the marriage life and after you have kids too.
We'll see what will happen in the next couple of years.
As usual no celebration, no birthday cake, just a gift.
