Cari Jodoh

Couldn't stay away for too long. Told you I would make a cameo. Yes, my plate is still very full but I had to find some time to post this, even though it is currently at 3:59 in the morning. *I am up to do up my report. Sad, innit?*

Anyhoots, this was shared by a few good single friends who just came back from one of their travels - this time it was from the island of Sumatera. They were off gallivanting to Padang, Bukit Tinggi dan kawasan-kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya. Apparently, ini lagu paling ngetop di Indo sekarang...

For your sake, *you know I love you*, I googled up the video on youtube (eh, bolehkah google di you tube? senang-senang, search di youtube, lah..) dan inilah hasilnya... Click here if you can't see the video *Kalau dah kena block tu, tengokla kat rumah karang.. jangan la click jugak.. *

Untuk lebih feel, disertakan juga liriknya..

Cari Jodoh by Wali

Apa salahku apa salah ibuku
Hidupku dirundung pilu
Tak ada yang mau dan menginginkan aku
Tuk jadi pengobat pilu
Tuk jadi penawar rindu
Tuk jadi kekasih hatiku

*
Timur ke barat selatan ke utara
Tak juga aku berjumpa
Dari musim duren hingga musim rambutan
Tak kunjung aku dapatkan
Tak jua aku temukan
Oh tuhan inikah cobaan

**
Ibu-ibu bapak-bapak
Siapa yang punya anak
Bilang aku aku yang tengah malu
Sama teman-temanku
Karna cuma diriku yang tak laku-laku

***
Pengumuman-pengumuman
Siapa yang mau bantu
Tolong aku kasihani aku
Tolong carikan diriku kekasih hatiku
Siapa yang mau

Back to *, **, ***

Ibu bapak punya anak

Bilang-bilang aku aku yang tengah malu
Sama teman-temanku
Karna cuma diriku yang tak laku-laku

Back to ***

***************

Amacam, ada best? Kinda has a catchy tune, eh? Could blardy well give the new millionaire Tomok @ Shah Indrawan a run for his new single, me thinks.. hihihihi *I love the new Tomok brand, btw- i voted for him!*

And now, on to the commentary:

Thing is, if you try to disect the lyrics, it's so typical of our culture, innit? Okay, since my plates are still full, I shall only comment on the following two verses, ok?

"Bilang-bilang aku aku yang tengah malu. Sama teman-temanku. Karna cuma diriku yang tak laku-laku."

Like sedih tak? Why should you be embarrased for being single? Isn't life grand, as it is?And wouldn't jodoh come when it is time? Ngapa nak malu, weh????

For example, these two man(s) I was talking about. They are a pair of 30+ year-old single guys who have a job that pay them good money. They have all the freedom to leave and gallavant around the world *USof A, Thailand, Indonesia, Europe, among others* with no ties, no strings and no restrictions to do whatever the hell they want. No kids' school, logistics, homework, wellbeing, tantrums to think about should you suddenly decide to go off to have a week's holiday in Krabi, for example. All the extra cash that doesn't go to their monthly tuition fees *Oh, don't get me started on their schooling fees* The not having to worry about what your other half would think, his feelings, his makan, minum, etc. Just to care about you, and you alone. I mean don't get me wrong.. Married life is great. But, getting married is not the end-all. With your partner for life and children, also comes great work and great responsibilities *I mean, you can not just decide one day that you are sick and tired of your children and return them for your money back - there's no money back guarantee, dude* I am just saying that being single has its perks too..

"Pengumuman-pengumuman. Siapa yang mau bantu. Tolong aku kasihani aku. Tolong carikan diriku kekasih hatiku. Siapa yang mau"

Ni lagi satu.. Kita ni (can I please be general here and mean the masyarakat) mesti nak sibuk nak match make kan orang kalau tau dia single. And I am not just talking about the makcik-makcik at kenduris here. I know for a fact that my single friends loathe (yes, loathe is a mighty strong word. And I mean it!) to go to kenduris for fear of the 20-questions from the busy-body makciks.. Thing is, I can also be one of the makciks sometimes. *Sorry.. Aku tak sengaja* It's like it's already ingrained in our head that everybody wants to get married, needs to be married and has to stay married. And we shall not rest until everyone is. Mengapakah? I know perfectly happy people who are not married. Single, loaded people... Think about that..

P/S: This entry is especially dedicated to the two somewhat good looking, single man(s) who shared with me the song.

P/P/S: Tidak, tidak.. Bukan aku tak tahu bahwasanya plural untuk man adalah men. man disini merupakan nama kawan-kawan ku *bukan nama sebenar* yang single yang baru balik berjalan sakan itu. Harap maklum.
