Friends.

I had wanted to write this entry so long ago, even before I've enlisted. This is just a entry to ponder about. Cheers.

And so, how do/would you define the word, FRIENDS?

People who will be by your side when you're in need of help, or, people who will only come up to you when they need your help?

Along the years, I've seen much. I used to be naive and thought that people are all the same. I always believed that if you treat people well, they'll be nice to you as well. Sometimes you just don't get back what you should. Reciprocation is just not there. And that's just part of human nature and life.

I still remember days in poly, I had this rather good friend of mine. He appears to be nice, but gave a one good stab on my back. That moment I was rather shocked, but didn't really had much emotions like how girls do. He didn't tell me, nor did I ask him. He's wrong, not me. We're still good friends now, but not really in contact. The point is, this incident got me to see the different sides of people - being pretentious.

Have you also met with situations when some people you have not talked or met for ages, who suddenly texts you or comes up in either MSN, Facebook or Friendster, acting like as if you guys are on very close terms. Beating round the bush saying all the very nice things. For this, you should be prepared. In most cases, they'll either ask you to do stupid surveys or voting, ask you to send them songs, or do some stupid things for them. After completing the task for them, you try to talk to them but they wouldn't even want to reply your messages or give a f*** about you later on. And that's how realistic people are. Thou I really dislike these people, but not to deny the fact that me and you are like that at times.

Despite the some negative sides of friends/people, I do have many bunches of good friends that I know I can befriend and depend on. I hope I can meet more of such nice friends.
