I don’t have much to tell.
I am a 40+ years old man, trying to balance my family and job, day in and day out. No, I’m not being pessimistic by saying that. I guess that’s what other people are trying to do these days, with more demands on the “job” side..
Enough of my misery; I am blessed with a beautiful wife and three great children. I live in Bogor, Indonesia where we have a gigantic botanical garden that also act as the poor lung of our ever-increasingly-polluted city. Bogor is pretty much an agricultural research city, having almost all of the central research institute of agriculture in Indonesia. We have a herbarium, a zoological museum and the biggest agricultural library in Indonesia. They all started during the Dutch colonial era, mind you. So their collection must be very huge and quite complete if you try to become an agricultural historian.
We live in a small house, all 5 of us, and dreaming of having a bigger house, where every child will have their own room. Hopefully we can fulfill that dream in the near future (I’ve been saying that for the last 3 years
)..
But, I’m glad to say that our children got the best education available in town. They allĀ go to the same private Catholic school I went (of course..) and some even get more education in Mr. Kumon mathematic course that are growing like mushrooms in rainy season..
