Where have you been? You don’t call, you don’t write! It’s been about a year since I last posted a worthwhile blog post here and today I felt like writing again. In fact I have been writing, writing a lot over the past year on my blog Soundtrack Geek. As for personal things, I haven’t felt like sharing for a very long time. There’s a lot of reasons for that, but I felt that I was sharing too much and it made me feel tired so I had to drop it cold, which I did. Now I feel more in control and don’t feel the pressure to write as much as I did a year ago.

Some of you might wonder what has happened to me in a year, but before I go into that I want to tell you what happened today. It was my last day of work at Shell, my final day, that’s it, finito, it’s all over. The last day, the final hours, it sounds so final and it is. I will probably never see my friends again as I am leaving the country on Tuesday, only to return one more time to catch a plane back to Norway. I am getting ahead of myself now, so let’s go back a few months.

August 8th 2008 was the happiest day of my life, it was the day I got married to my beautiful bride Keiya. It was a wonderful wedding held at hotel Grand Tropic in Jakarta, Indonesia. My family came down, yes, my dad, mom and little sister actually came to Indonesia to celebrate with me and they had a great time. It was the first time Kei and her family met my family, but it was an instant success. The perfect wedding! Oh before I forget, here are some pictures:

And we had some beautiful prewedding pictures taken in Bali:

Aaah, wonderful times. Unfortunately me and my wife has been separated for almost 4 months but on Tuesday I will go back to Indonesia to spend a month with her before I go to Norway on January 8th.

The thing is, she is Indonesian and I am Norwegian. The laws in our countries prohibits us from being together. It’s a shame but we have to be patient. It was not as we pictured because we wanted to live together when we got married, but in reality we are still in long distance relationship. I’m so excited though, because I get to see her soon again. Happy days!

After that I have to find a job and place to live in Norway so she can apply for a visa and come live with me, it is my biggest wish and I hope for sooner rather than later. This post didn’t turn out the way I originally thought. I had a whole other topic, but I just write what pops in my head.

So that’s what’s been happening I guess. Many exciting (and scary) months ahead. Bon voyage me!
