Are you malay?
…is what Loony’s cab driver asked her the first thing she got into the car, freshly back from Bangkok, Thailand. Now why did she have to speak to him in Malay at first place?
Anyway, after establishing the fact that loony’s in fact:
- a pure blood Chinese (not half-Malay, certainly NOT Indonesian!),
- working in KL (he actually thought loony’s working as an air stewardess or a model because loony “ada gaya”. Hohohohoho),
- originated from Malacca (apparently Malacca produces lots of pretty girls),
- has 3 siblings,
- not 23 years old but a little older than that (honestly, loony looks like 23yo? PUH-LEASE),
- single (but he said that loony’s so pretty, she didn’t have to worry about not being able to find a boyfriend. Hohohoho),
What, you think loony’s a fool? She gave him a little truths & more half-truths. No no no, half truths are NOT lies.) and passed loony his contact so she can call him anytime if she needs a cab to KLIA or LCCT, their conversation turned to why most Chinese woman nowadays, in their late twenties & early thirties, preferred to stay single.
According to the very chatty Cab Driver, they (his other customers of course) said that one, they haven’t found the Mr. Right; Two, they are really cynical about the whole marriage idea because they see all the failures in marriages around them.
Well, this is what loony thinks: Mr. Right? There are no Mr. Right in this world for any women. Why? ‘cos women (especially those highly educated and have a good job with high paying income) are somehow brainwashed to find a man that has to fit in their ‘perfect for me’ list. Now the thing is, even if this particular guy fit in their ‘perfect for me’ category, they might ended up in separate ways anyway. Why? ‘cos they forgot that all relationships have to be work on. It takes effort. It’s just like planting a flower seed. You think the flower’s going to grow up alright just by itself? Weeds, maybe. Not if you want to cultivate exotic orchids. So back to loony’s point, Mr. Right is only Mr. Right once you determined that you’re going to work on this particular relationship.
**disclaimer: loony is neither a women-hater nor a feminist. She’s just like to say what she thinks in a way she likes to write it.
