Lord of The Ring
As I am now a newlywed, my friends, when they visit my new home, often ask me a profound question, "Empy, where is the bathroom?", because they need to walk quite far from the MRT station to reach my home. But after that they also ask me, "So, what is the difference between marriage life and bachelorhood?".
The answer is very simple, my dear single and unenlightened friends. In marriage life, you have to wear a RING.
By wearing a ring you are telling the world that you are now unavailable and how commited you are to your wife, also how cheap you are because the diamond in the ring can only be seen using a very strong microscope.
I myself try to wear the ring everytime I get out of the house, because I want to show the world that I am now happily married to the woman that I love. Also, my wife will kill me if she finds out that I forget to put it on.
But it is not always nice to wear a ring. Now I still feel uncomfortable having a strange object encircling my used-to-be-naked finger. Well I guess it 's a new habit that I have to get used to.
One of my friends told me that when he got married, he only wore his ring for a week and then he put it in his drawer because he could not get used to it. He boldly explained that to his wife and take a strong decision as a man. That's what he told me, before he went back to his parents' basement, hiding from his wife who is hunting him down with an axe.
No, just kidding, he is okay with his wife, and is expecting a baby in fact.
Another friend told me that I probably only need to wear the ring for the first few months because after that, my finger will be so fat that the only thing that can encircle it is a standard car tyre. I guess I am still lucky that I still have the same finger size a month after I get married. My tummy's size, on the other hand, is now increasing towards a sumo wrestler's.
But I actually like wearing the ring. My ring design fits perfectly on my finger and it actually looks good. It is just that I am still not used to it. So I take it off everytime I am at home and try to remember to put it back in everytime I am going somewhere. Well it's not easy getting used to it. But I will just do it. Anyway, it's the difference between married men and singles, right? So the next time you see me outside, see the shiny little thing around my finger, then you'd know that I am a married man. Just don't try to find the diamond though.
