That's 7 July 2007, by the way. 07.07.07.
I am busy at work when my aunt called. I thought it could be something urgent. Not.
She said she was looking through the calendar for next year and realised that 7 July 2007 is a very nice wedding date. She got so excited, you'd think she's the one getting married. She told me I should get married that day. Or at least, get engaged that day.
"GET MARRIED?!? Are you mad?"
"Yelah Wiiiiinn... Nice date lah Wiiiiinn... Such a waste if you don't make use of it. It's on a Sunday. And it's close to your birthday, too..."
"Erm, can. Can get married but I don't have anyone to marry leh..." (Hurhur.)
"Never mind lah... Just get any Tom, Dick or Harry to marry."
My aunt is as funny as I.
Truth is, I have given this a thought since like say, oh... 2001. In fact, I went as far as looking through every month of every year until year 2010, to see what would be a good date. And I am aware that it is a nice date indeed to get married, being a Sunday and all.
Yes, I was that madly in love. Tapi please eh~ Kalau takder jodoh means tak payah kahwin, ok. Apa suka-suka keper kahwin. No need to say any Tom's Dick is Harry lah... Any Atan, Abu or Ali, I won't. Cheyy eksyen pulaaakk. Hurhur...
Speaking of Ali, I bumped into Suhana and her friend yesterday. Her friend is called Ali. I didn't know of anyone else who would name their kids Ali these days. Such a classic name, yo.
And speaking of marriage, I was a kendarat for my uncle's wedding two weeks ago. (Head Kendarat ah jangan main-main HAHA.) So all the makciks-makciks asked when I was getting married. Initially, I answered by laughing because that was the easiest to avoid answering them politely. But I got tired of it and as the day wore off, my answer became "Hah? Tak akan kahwin agaknya pasal tak laku..." The makciks would then wear a horrified look on their faces and promised me "Ok takper, nanti Cik carikan." Hurhur. Easier than faking a laugh, trust me. AND on top of that, I have agents to help me find one. So lai lai... Application forms available for 2nd intake. Date of commencement: 07.07.07.
