1001 Answers For "The Question"

During the family gathering on Idul Fitri (or any other religious) holiday, there is one question that all single women dread most: "When are you getting married?" Argh.

Sometimes that question does not come from our own parents, but from concerned aunties and uncles. While I know they mean well, I just can't stop shuddering whenever there's a family event scheduled within the next few weeks. Usually I avoid such event by going to work. Pathetic, I know.

Anyway, my friend @alfianidris and several other friends had this funny hashtag in Twitter about the answers to "the question", depending on who is answering. Since we all work in the media, most answers are journalism-related. The answers are so funny and witty, I feel they deserve to be posted here.Without further ado, here they are.
