In the blood

Any Malaysian with Punjabi friends would know that Punjabis have matchmaking in their every blood cells. Everytime they see an eligible single person, their mind will automatically think of another single eligible person of the other sex that would match the eligble single in question.

It's almost like a reflex.

So,what happens when a Chinese girl is caught between two married, well meaning 'matchmaking-is- in-my-blood' Punjabis?

One was excitedly informing me about a new recruit (Chinese-Male-28 year old-single-witty-handsome-perfect for you) that'll be joining the company next month, and was trying to show me pictures of this said fellow.

I tried to protest by was interjected by the other Punjabi. 'Shu, do you want to be single forever and die and old maid?!! You better come now before the Planning and Purchasing girls get him. '

I hadn't enough wit for a good retort.

Boy oh boy. I bet this is just the beginning.
