Real life connection: Speed dating by Omi & Pertama Kali

Speed dating took centre stage at the recent “Kasi Chance-Lah” event, organised by Pertama Kali in partnership with dating app Omi, as singles in Kuala Lumpur gathered to meet, laugh, and make potential connections.

Hosted at the popular Gumi Grinds, this inaugural event was designed to combine the ease of digital connections with the excitement of face-to-face interactions.

For Omi, this marks another step forward in bringing singles together through innovative dating experiences.

Omi’s earlier event, “Love is On MY Way,” allowed Malaysians to discover their love styles in a fun, interactive setting.

Now, by teaming up with Pertama Kali—one of the pioneers in local speed dating events—Omi is creating a more engaging approach to help people find connections offline.

Redefining modern dating experiences

The collaboration between Omi and Pertama Kali brings a fresh approach to the dating scene in Malaysia.

With this event, they aimed to break the barriers of online dating fatigue, giving singles a welcoming space to engage authentically without the usual online pressures.

“Dating shouldn’t feel like a chore,” the organisers explained. “We crafted this event to allow singles to meet in a relaxed setting and enjoy a face-to-face connection.”

By focusing on in-person interaction, the event allowed participants to skip the digital back-and-forth often required before a first date.

Instead, singles could simply show up, engage in brief but meaningful conversations, and see if sparks flew.

This straightforward approach resonates with singles looking for more than a virtual connection.

A fresh take on speed dating for Malaysians

Omi and Pertama Kali’s shared vision for dating is clear: they want to make it easier, more enjoyable, and less intimidating.

Their partnership merges Omi’s strength in digital engagement with Pertama Kali’s experience in creating memorable in-person events.

“Kasi Chance-Lah” reflected their commitment to helping singles navigate dating with ease, focusing on a lively, stress-free experience.

Held in an upbeat venue, the event featured thoughtfully arranged interactions, ensuring singles could mingle naturally without the pressure of making a “perfect” impression.

The success of the evening highlights how much people crave authentic, real-life connections—even in a digital world.

The warm reception of this first event shows a growing interest in real-life dating experiences that balance convenience with genuine interaction.

Omi and Pertama Kali plan to continue this momentum, with more events in the pipeline to keep singles engaged and connected.

Looking ahead, this collaboration aims to reshape the way people meet in Malaysia.

By blending digital ease with in-person authenticity, they’re setting a new standard for the modern dating scene, offering singles in Malaysia a refreshing way to find meaningful connections.
