Friends That Come & Go
Everybody has friends. Friends that you make in school, friends you come across at work or even that friendly neighbour who chats with you regularly.
My share of good friends began when I was in Primary 4 and I still sms my Primary 4 good friend occasionally these days.
But seriously, my oldest and bestest friends are from my Secondary 1 and 3 classes.
I guess time can be used to put your friendship with a certain person to the test.
Most people experiencing quarter-life crisises may have their share of hi-bye friends, long-lost friends, friends who have shared part of their lives but "disappeared" after that somehow.
I have a best friend in Primary 5-6 but we both lost touch with each other after Secondary 2.
One of my Secondary 1 buddies rather spend most of (in fact, all of) her time with her fiance and family than with her "friends" right now, in this part of her life. I felt that I have lost this friend somehow.
Then, in the office, I lost 2 colleagues after 1 of them resigned.
However, this is not the major part of why I had lost her friendship.
The reason I lost these 2 "friends" is coz of something that isn't the most important thing in the world but yet, is something we can't possibly live without --money.
She owe me money but had problems paying.
I chased her for the money and things turned sour after that.
It is wrong for me to get back my own money when I need it ?
Then, is it even more wrong when I refused to lend money to some colleague just because that bugger asked me to ?
When had I become a "money-lender" ?
If I were rich, I wouldn't mind, but I am not !
Then, there is this girl who is just an acquaintance I got to know from someone less than a year ago.
At first she seemed to be someone I could bare my heart out to with my sorrows. She even asked for my msn contact and chatted there with me whenever she is online. We became fast online friends. I have only seen her in real life once; at our mutual friend's funeral.
Never would I know that the msn also became the "place" where our fast friendship ended.
All becoz of some glitches in the stoopit msn which caused all her office PCs to be invaded by some viruses. In the end, she had to reformat ALL those PCs in the office ! All becoz of the viruses sent out by msn from my PC !
She became offline after a long time after that incident, even at home. Or perhaps she had blocked me, not wanting to be part of my life ever again. These days, I see her online but never did she msg me like last time, greeting me with simple but sweet "Have you eaten?'s or "Wanna play some online games tog?"s
But I am lucky in the sense that I still have my bestest friends with me from my Secondary School days even though we have had our share of quarrels and cold wars.
Time can indeed worth our friendships' worth.

there is not such thing call friends-forever?
there is only forever friends bear!
hehe.
i'm back at making friends or having friends.
especially what you call good or best friends.
i find it very superfical.
coz it's really based on mutual feelings.
but if the word best or good was heard by the friend, i would think it's kinda weird.
it's like, the friend will have to try you as best/good friend? or did he/she actually place you in the same position as you do?
maybe i'm not that touchy, so all my friends... wat's left is here.
best/good friends? i dare not say.
talking about primary school friends make my wanna cry.
and it really hurts my heart alot.
secondary school friends? well... still there, but different paths.
poly friends? knew non where gone to.
now?
most of my circle of friends are known from the internet.
