Friends

in life, we get to meet many ppl whom we will call friends. some are temporarily and some will stay with u for ur whole life. its sad though, when u thought that u have made a life long frd, and yet, they turn out to be just passer-by for a period of time in ur life time. very often, i think a lot abt this issue.

i used to have a frd whom i call my best frd. we have known each other for ages. there were thgs abt her that i envy, and vis versa. however, we were inseperatable for a long time. it was until i decided to go into the entertainment biz. she didnt think tat it was a wise choice as entertainment biz is so called complicated. we started to grow apart due to my busy schedule. once in a while i will try to meet up with her. until, i realised tat she has become too insupportive. maybe i was too sensitive over it. but gradually, i stopped talking to her abt my work. and since tat phrase of my life is all abt work, i hardly tok at all when we meet. time passed, and she has a family. i was still single, and worst still, a workaholic. the topics that we can talk abt become very superficial. i couldnt relate to topics abt family, parents-in-law, babies. soon, we dun even meet up... a few months back, she invited me to tea with some common frds. as usual, i just ask abt their life, keeping quiet abt mine. only when they asked, then i introduce my company to them. hoping that they can also help me by recommanding my company to other ppl should they meet ppl who need my service. i was taken aback when she told me, somethg along that line, 'aiya, i dun need ur card la. give me also no use. there is no one to intro to." it was not as if i purposely wanted her to do the work of introduction to me. i merely told her that should her frds require my service, pls help me by recommanding. haiz.. ever since then, i nv seen her again. it is so hard to maintain this frdship... i dun even know if it is even counted as one. there were so many times that she has put me down. i know that if i treat her the same way, our frdship will end. but is there a point to keep a frd who is simply insensitive abt ur feelings, who was once, ur best frd...

yet, i know of some frds, who will stand by ur side to help or give u support when u need it. im lucky that i do have some frds like tat. and on my part, i hope tat i have nv taken advantage of them unknowingly. these are the frds tat i truly love and appreciate. altough time does not allow us to meet freqently, we share a tight bonding within this frdship. and i really want to thank all those who have been there for me all these while.

actually i observe that mothers hor (generally), especially those wif kids, speak very bluntly... it's like they dun use the brain to think wad they gonna say liao... they juz say anything lo... i think it's part of their "nagging" ability... hahaha... :D

yalo... blunt words are so hurting... especially when it comes from someone u have so strong a connection wif... :|

but i feel that if the friendship is so destructive to u le, then it's better to juz put it aside for now lo... maybe someday u 2 can be like in the old days again. :)
