(Almost) 2.5 years with Mrs Chongky

To me, nothing beats having the company of Mrs Chongky. Even though she might be sleeping and i might be doing work at this time of the day, i’m even glad that she’s physically around.

Recently, Newsweek reported that an average courtship of 2.5 years could easily cost $40k. That’s large sum going by my standard. Undeniably, Mrs Chongky and i have both spent quite a fair sum of money in the past 2.5 years. However i do not think that all of this sum is spent on lavish items, save for the 2 D&Gs and Tiff that i bought, and maybe her bicycle. The rest all seems pretty useful to me. :D

Ok to be fair, i admit that our slightly pricey stays at the former KL Regent are unnecessary. And the Wii she gotten for my last birthday is my most expensive present so far. Maybe we shouldn’t have done the sakae sushi dinner last night as well.

Ultimately, at the end of the day, the expensive gifts and dinners have only that one signaling effect. (Being an wannabe economist, i continue to claim in signaling is observed in everyday life, as long as the choice made has the potential to be made known publicly). I’m glad that Mrs Chongky and i are past that stage of spurging on expensive dates to impress each other. In fact we might be way too past that stage from the start since we know each other for so long.

To cut the entire story short so that i can go catch a short nap before class in the morning, i want to declare that i’m very happy with this relationship and can see the future with us. Hope Mrs Chongky stays this way, calm and peaceful.

Good night.
