介绍介绍嘛

It's hilarious.
The first thing I step into the house tonight near midnight, Mum passed me a letter, and then......a happy family's convocation studio photograph.Standing in the back-row is a man around my age, with name, contact details and education credentials on the back of the photo.

She asked me softly:"现在有没有朋友?" Yes... she wants to fix me up! Parents and blind dates! 什么时候,我也要沦落到"父母之命，媒妁之言"的地步.

Gone were the days when she'd nag me:"专心读书呀,不要乱乱交男朋友..."and 10 years down the road, the scenerio is reversed! :)

I am not sniggering at her一片好心,but I didn't expect she'd show me a photo of a man *disbelief* (She confessed she dare not show me the pix she had kept before I left for my trip, as she is afraid I'd react negatively or be offended).

I've girlfriend who said her mum had been nagging her to find a boyfriend, cuz her elder sister is getting married, and she worry the girl left single would not be well-taken care of.

Auntie ah... girls these days are independent and smart, we can take care of ourselves la.Plus, 男人靠得住的不多,要就找最好的.(哇,my "eyesight"like very high hor? no la, I am just a bit cynical)

Having said that, I am not a supporter of singlehood, and I have attended many blind dates either arranged by friends or on my own (net-dating).And I have even thought of a name I liked for my future daughter! But as God has planned it, none worked to date. I am not desperate, I am still rather patient about it!

As I am blogging about this, she walks into my room as if last call for the very-eligible man in her eyes (He's well educated, a son of her co-worker).When I shook my head violently, she asked out of goodwill:"XX (my bosom girlfriend) ,她有没有朋友?她要不要?"

I shook my head again in violence."不要?不要?你们每一个不想嫁hor!" And she left my room in dismay.

Well.....what can I say. Mum's the best when it comes to choosing man I guess, and she is like every other Mum out there.Frankly speaking, her concern is one of the many questions that passed through my mind each day. But ehhhhhhh...I dunno what to do with her recommendation. Any 25-years old out there that feels the same way as I do? Maybe my mum has the right recommendation for you? :P

in retrospect, from another angle, it is the guy's family that is anxious, and not my mum ba! since they started the circulation in the first place :)
