Hi 25th, I’m glad we’ve finally met. I’m the 24th, and I welcome you today. Too bad, we can’t be together, because by welcoming you, it means goodbye-ing me.

I’m sorry to leave you such a mess. I was hoping I can organize things more as a gift for your welcoming party. But hey, what can I say, he’s the boss. When he says no, he’ll do no. Yeah I know, sometimes, he can be such a jerk, especially lately, he can be such a pain in the ass, but mostly, he is a nice guy. He’s funny, sometimes doing some stupid things, asking weird questions.

So here I am writing you some notes, hints and wishes. I personally hope that your 1 year journey with him will be such a journey, coz that is what he gave to me.

About his job, hmm, this is the best part of my journey with him. And compare with the 23rd’s journey, it still trending up. I don’t know if he earns it or he’s just damn lucky. But I personally like to keep it as lucky. I don’t like to see him feeling so proud of him self. Well, I’ve seen him pretty narcissistic before and it kinda funny for other things, but for his job, I’d like to keep him humble. Remember attitude is very important!! “Sky upon sky”, that’ll do the trick.

His health is quite good, even though he ate more Mister Potato lately (start reducing it ok). He does sport more than ever, 2-3 times a week. His braces is getting more and more annoying, I think it’s time for you to remove it. The only downside is his far-sighted, it’s getting worse. Maybe you can try contact lens. Well, I was pretty afraid with that thing, but I don’t know about you. And one more thing, be patient while he’s eating. It may takes longer, and there’s nothing you can do about that. Just bear with it..And please take a good care of his hair.

He stops reading book. We both know that book is the window to the world. By stop reading it, means stop seeing the world. I understand he’s been so busy lately. He put his everything on his works, so no time for it. But please explain to him that he needs to keep reading book. No matter what. And you know, the book is not has to be a technical one. You should broaden his knowledge. Ask him to buy books out of his common topic. Heck, you can ask him to buy cooking/parenting/feng-shui books, anything. And don’t forget to force him, yeah, I repeat, force him to read it afterwards.

Ask him to improve his English. I don’t see any significant improvement on this side. He’s still having problem understanding other people conversation, and the other way around, he’s still having problem telling other people about what he means. The good thing is we start to remove the english subtitle while watching tv-series for the last 3 months. Even though it’s hard, but…he’ll make it. Keep doing this ok. And his pronunciation  still sounds funny. Maybe try to teach his tongue to do more acrobatic maneuver or eat more cheese. I heard that will do the trick..kekeke

He is financially stable. We did a pretty good job on this one. He is aware of his expenses. He understands the difference between what he wants and what he needs. Well, the iPhone is exceptional, and…….Mister Potato..kekekeke. But overall, we did good. But I wonder if you could find out more about financial planning. Reducing your expense is one thing, increasing your income is another thing, but making a financial planning is something. Especially about his plan on taking master degree, you should start allocating for it. I really hope he’ll make it on that one.

About love…ah, there’s nothing much I can tell. Because my journey is less romantic compare with the 23rd’s journey. But I do hoping you can put this one in your work plan, “find someone for him”. He has that much love inside him. A woman once told me that he was once a romantic guy. He knows how treat a woman, he can make such a beautiful poem, caring for her so gently and for all of his pureness acts, he really makes her smile and wondering if he could be the one. But that is what the 23rd told me, I never saw him that way. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see it by yourself. Bu no rush anyway..hahaha

Do more refreshing activity!! In weekend, force him to go out. Force him to visit a new place. Do not let him sleeping all day long again. Ask him to grab his camera and vamoose to somewhere….anywhere. Or going to cinema with friends. Do not download all that new box office movies via torrent again. Feel the vibe in cinema dude!! Or try that Mexican taco!! Just….be more creative about this ok!!

He sometimes feels confused about his life. Wondering whether this is the right path for him or not, try to find out what is his meaning to all of this. Sometimes he feels so lonely in his darkest time, but the good thing, he doesn’t do anything stupid. In fact, he doesn’t do anything at all. He just that. I’m not hoping you can make it stop, but I do hope you could reduce the period length. Or sometimes he just can not decide, afraid to take a wrong decision. I’ve taught him to accept that wrong decision and do some learning from it for the future, but maybe you can do better about that. And for God’s sake, just use a coin if one day you can’t help him decide. And try to make his life balance!! I honestly don’t know how to do it, because I’m a “to-gain-something-you-must-loose-something” kind of guy. Just do your best on this one. And please do teach him how to let go…

Last thing, could you please be more strict to him about his prayer time?? Lately, he’s been taking this things lightly. Please tell him that he should be thanking Him more than ever for all the kindness and opportunities that He gave. Oh yeah, could you find out more about Him?? Because lately, he’s been asking things about Him that I can’t answer. Maybe you can read more book about this. Give him that understanding, so he can consciously aware about who He is and why He asks for it.

Finally, keep him save, healthy and happy.  Have a wonderful journey and please kindly send my warmest regards to the 26th.

Sincerely yours,

The 24th.
