my matching making experience
what can be a better way to affect other people's life than hooking them up for a life together, happy ever after? yes, I am talking about my match making experience, an unintentional but very successful attempt.
I was doing my graduate studies. my original roommate lived in her parents' house close by. so her friend took her spot and became my roommate. my old classmate, now named, "Oliver", visited me from time to time and chatted with my new roommate Ming occasionally.
a few months later, out of blue, Oliver asked me for a favour. he confessed that he had fallen for my roommate Ming. he wanted me to get her contact info for him as she was on her way to graduation. surprised and suspicious, I was like, "really? are you aware that she stands half a head taller than you?" he was just nodding and smiling. my other reaction was, "but, how come you keep praising me like a princess in front of her while you are after her?" not that his compliments of me caused any confusion on my part. I was just questioning his strategy. it proved to be a very good strategy. without much of an effort, I got the contact info from Ming. they connected and stuck to each other ever since.
years and years passed by. today, I got a phone call from Oliver to discuss our college reunion. he talks about how he owes me a reward, big time, for my however effortless effort. he practices law from his own office on Broadway, New York city, Ming is a brilliant scholar working for one of those big libraries in the same metropolis. their three kids stand like musical notes, aged at 8, 6, 4... isn't knowing these the best reward for me? then, there he went again, "are you still that pretty as before?" a bonus for my reward - if that's how he had seen me. I haven't changed much, if what's inside also counts.
