Match-making session for 'parents'
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Over the lunch, my colleuage mention that it is common in Taiwan and her parents did wanted to arrange for her. Anyway, she didnt go as she have a stable bf before the arrangement was made .
Taiwan quite a big country and therefore, it is common. what makes us do this as well? baby rates getting lower? more divorce, less marriages?
Gers here are all being 'at least', educated in a way of attending primary sch(even if those drop out ones). simple English is not a issue to us as well. our exposure to outside world is high (i dunno about other country) as the Internet is common and mobility is here. with the broadband on mobile and wirelesssg, with any handheld device, you can basically surf the net.
we have friendster, facebook etc, chat rooms like msn, skype...etc ... why do parents still match make?
to me, i will take it openly and if my parents are worry and insist that i should go, i will...coz it will nt hurt me in any way. hehe...who knws there will be good catch there?
question is, does all these 'singles' really willing to give up single life? not all ppl are into marriage these days but there are looking to staying together instead of getting committed to each other with a piece of paper. Of coz at this moment, i dun even have a feel of settling down. like what seredipity have said in the past, and she completely shove off the idea of getting married. now i agree with her. i use to believ in marriages but now, i dun. Why? getting married is as easy as paying $25 for the ROM. however, getting divorce will cost you $2500 to get a lawyer, 3 years to get the status correct... well.... i kind of taking me off from it.
Maybe 2 years down the road, match making is everywhere and i may be a member there? lolz
