My Old-Friend

The irony of my life is this:

I have an old (old as in age-old since he's my mother's age) friend who has been matchmaking me with the one and only common friend that we have - Let's call him ABC (hahaha!!). Heehee... Try as I might, and as polite as I can be, to tell old-friend that I am not interested to be matchmade (to ABC) or I'd prefer someone of the same church, he is still insistent that I will of good match with ABC. Try as I might to tell him that God WILL provide for me, try as I might to tell him that if I am too old to give birh, I will adopt, it's to no avail. Hahaha!!

*sigh* I wish this matchmaking "OMO-agency" will stop and just be a friend. Sometimes it's rather ironical - I miss old-friend. Yet I will hesitate to drop him a sms or a tinkle. BUT, I always know that through everything, it's done with a genuine concern for me.

Oh.. By the way, this old-friend was my study mate & my pacer during our Grad Dip in Social Work course. I wouldn't have passed my exams if not for this old-friend. I had a terrible time transitting to this new course of study and a hard time getting to know the rest of my colleagues as we were all part-timers. I have always looked up to him. Always tell myself that if a 50-over-year old man can study, so can I. When he suggested studying together, we had the fun-est time at Burger King laughing our heads out over past exams questions. Once when I went to his house for studies, I was touched by his love for his wife and children. It's funny how we became good friends despite the HUGE age gap.

The irony of life.
