Another discussion I had with Sarah...
Love you always.
Sine Cera,

It is easier if you set in your mind that we are already happily married. The 10 years plan then is about us making good our marriage of the last 2 1/2 years.
In other words, let's start thinking *li[f]e (like) husband and wives. When we do that, we become responsible adults. What we are doing now is to realize our worthy ideal. Our life then will have a purpose. To achieve this purpose, we need to support each other as one entity.
* OK, you are clear on that. Now to find out if Els is thinking along the same line.
In our case, it is 3 to a unit. This unit will then merge with the other 3 to a unit to form the total entity. When we do this, then we see that there are 2 phases to the scenario.
Brb...
The first phase is to set induce you and Els. I termed both of you as the Tender Yachts. Lizzie and the kids are the Mothership. The objective of the first phase is to prepare the Tender Yachts to dock to the Mothership. I am using ships analogy because although all of you occupy different vessels, each is still an interdependent autonomous unit.
You are your own vessel just as Els is an independent vessel. The Mothership is considered as one unit because it is a vessel with common elements considering that they are under the same roof, sharing the same values, and relying on the same financial resources.
Hence as Tender Yachts, your aspiration is to align to the Mothership. For example, since you know we are heading to a certain destination in the next 10 years, rightfully your provisions (using the ship analogy) should align to the Mothership. In this case, if I am targeting to save 2/3 of my income to prepare for the next 10 years, you should make some provisions along the same line. Then only the sum total will be compounded. It need not be the same proportion but *a[s] (at) the very least you too got to have financial mastery among you.
* I'm glad you are thinking along the same line, Sarah.
Bear in mind although we have two separate units and within those units, we have 2 smaller units, all the units are actually one fleet. Therefore if the aim of the next 10 years is to set aside a certain figure for sustenance, then all in the fleet should practice austerity.
This is important considering that our plan is based on:
- The best-case scenario
- The first 10 years is to prepare for the next 10 years
Of course, I am using financial as a key consideration. Other considerations will also include:
- Career progression
- Change of lifestyle
- Family intervention
- Social pressure
- Acceptance by friends
- Health care provision
- Housing and displacement
- Cultural impact
- And finally docking with the Mothership
That is why I am already assuming the role of an Ayah to you and Els. Being the Alpha in the pride of lions, I got to ensure cohesiveness EVEN IF it means the two of you may decide to just be transient team members. That's the risk we all have to consider if we abide by Murphy's Law.
Whether it is transient (the two of you might fall in love with somebody else along the way) or permanent, we must be mindful that we are soulmates and I will still keep my word to marry you both for eternity. Hence, I will still give you your dowry and your sustenance regardless of whether Songkhla 2030 materializes.
Should this happens, we still remain as Cyberspouses and maintain the status quo. The rationale behind that is we are already married. Our Achilles' Heel is we haven't consummated our marriage. However, in principle, we are already soulmates. Do you follow?
So in summary, forget about the traditional definition of what it means to be married. We ARE already married *a[nd] (as) of 24/11/17 and with Els on 7/7/18. Let's bring this shipment to the shore.
* Thanks for the confidence. Then from here all I need to do is focus on delivering my promise.

#traxxfm Hi honey... I am super busy today. However, I managed to squeeze an email for you to read tonight. It is important that you understand your role in the whole scheme. This is my only Tweet for the day. Embedded commands me. I still listen.
#traxxfm Geez... Enter the Sandman. No Iron Maiden? OK last of the last pukul. This is for Abang Long, who is having wild thoughts since last Thursday:
Abang Long, we are soulmates ya'll...
