"Lin, kenalin gua cw dong!"

How fast could it be? Udah wiken lagi? Sipdehh.. especially pulang siang today haha. Mau mani-pedi ahh!! di senayan ajah gitu ya? biar deket sama tempat seminar. Terus udah gituhh mau bersua and having dinner wif me friends. Well, eve and Tina, if you read this, just know that since one of you is leaving Jkt and the other one has found yourself a boyfriend, then i have found another VICTIM buat dicomblangin tonite (haha)

If you have known me long enough, you must have been a korban at least once. (Just ask San2, Tirzah, Tiff and Lala!) I have this thing for menjodoh2kan orang. It's just natural you know, like when Tine introduced me to Catherine last week, i was just out of nowhere asked "Tin, dia gua kenal2in temen2 gua yah!"/ Or when My ex' mum was asking me to take his sister buat di- "kenalin, ajak maen sama temen2 kamu", i took out my PDA instantly and nantangin balik the tante "ok, banyak kok pilihannya. Mau yang kaya gimana tante" and the following week, i took the little sister to browse friendster to see which one of my single friends whom she is interested in. And the following week afterwards, i would arrange a meeting for the twosome to meet. Yeap. it's official,i'm a P.I.M.P! (haha)

The tricky thing is that, let me be brutally honest with you, as a normal human being, many people want to be introduced to a person outside their league. Namanya temen kalo ngenalin kan pasti dipikir2 yang kira2 cocok, but (the guys especially) are always "jelek ah", "kurang ini lah" "kurang itu lah", "mau yang itu ajah" (pointing out to a picture of my friend whom is a supermodel) and dalem hati i was like "Well, the only way you could get to be with her is if you are brad pitt!! Or Donald Trump!!"

These days, as long as your tone is informal and casual, most people dont mind "making friends" with the help of a matchmaker, like moi. It is not like the old days when people strongly believe that it is desperation when you are being set up to meet people. "Yang mau dijodohin tuh cuman yang gak laku. Kalo emang the guys or the girls are eligible, gak usah dijodo2in juga pasti yang antri udah banyak". MAtter of fact, many of my eligible male friends whom have passed the age of 25 are seriously making phone calls to their female buddies to "cariin gua cw dong, tp yang udah siap mo merid"

Yah, yah, makanya jangan didengerin omongan orangtua that says, "kalo masi sekolah jangan pacaran dulu. Nanti ajah kalo udah lulus udah kerja baru mulai cari temen". I mean like"Get a life, dude! Justru college is the only place you could meet people. Once you are graduated, the chance to meet a potential spouse is getting thinner." Everyone whom has entering the workforce must have agreed with me, "It is so hard to meet people once you've started working" Because in college, you'll meet hundreds of different people everyday, but once you have your own cubicle, you'll only meet a few same people everyday. You are lucky if your colleague (or your boss) is actually someone you can hit on. But, if you are stucked in an excellent job like me, the only people whom you will meet everyday are: a married 40 years olf batak manager, a 27 years old female architect, a 34 years old pregnant accountant and the OBs. (Now, this is when you have no choice but starting to ngecengin your customers, but that will be another chapter, ok!)

Anyway, basically everyone agrees that once you've graduated from College, the safest thing to meet "a potential other half" is through introduction by mutual friends. Lucunya tuh.. kalo cowo2 yang udah gede dan sukses dan siap merid tuh nyarinya cwnya yang CANTIK, CW BAIK2, PENGERTIAN dan masi kecil (kecil as in kecil my age! 21-24.. yah2 namanya juga di indo, it's not fair for the girls once you've passed the age of 25.. it's going to be so susah.. haduh! makanya takut juga euy! i only have 3 years left then!!) Guah juga gak ngerti, ngapain sih nyari yang kecil2? Masi hijau belum mengerti apa2 kali? masi mau maen sampe kenyang, masi mau merintis karier, udah di-pressure untuk merid? What's wrong with single women at the age of 27? (KALO KATA DD GUA sih.. if there is nothing wrong with them, gak mungkin dong umur 27 belon merid?) Halahh.. tp emang most of my "kecil" friends juga udah pada siap merid semua tuh.. sok atuh sok.. mangga laah.. kalo ada yang mau dikenalin.. As in for tonight, it is the first casual dinner for Mr. A and Miss. M. AWAS yah!! kalo sampe loe orang jadian. remember the person you have to traktir!
