As Gerard becomes more mobile and eats "proper" food of three meals a day, I have certainly become busier. Suddenly, I found myself having new roles - Gerard's bodyguard, doctor/first-aider, nutritionist, chef, etc. The whole day practically revolves around the little guy and by the time he goes to bed, there leaves me only about 2 hours of personal time (provided he is in bed by 9) to catch up with emails, reading and surfing the internet.

Recently I started to reminisce about my life before I came to Copenhagen. Although the past 9 months of being with Gerard has been great and is also something that money cannot buy, I can't help but feel that I miss my past lifestyle - whether it's having a drink or two with colleagues after work, or going for spa and facial every month, or catching the latest blockbuster during the weekends, they all feel more exciting than now, where everyday is rather predictable. Well, the pasture is always greener on the other side, and humans always like things that they cannot obtain. Perhaps in a few months' time when we pack our bags to go back to Singapore and I start working again, I will miss my current rather blithe life.

As temperature in Denmark dipped, we have said "goodbye" to the nice summer, but fortunately, we managed to visit one of the nicest castles in Denmark. The picturesque countryside and also seeing Gerard enjoyed himself so much made all the driving worth it. Our next expedition, farmstay and horse-riding. I'm looking forward to it already.
