Two Hundred Eight Time
Its 2am in the morning. I was already lying on bed. But i was thinking of what my next blog post would be. So the more i think, the more i want to things are generated. zzZZzzZZzz.. That's the bad thing when your brain only works the best before you want to sleep. So here i am to post.
I was thinking about secondary school times. I was also thinking about friends. Then i remembered that there's a trend during my lower sec time.
I still remember during lower sec, and even during upper primary, girls always like to have a nice book. Then the girls will pass to some of their friends to fill in their particulars, where they stay, when is their birthday, what is their favourite actors(i remember singers wasnt so hot during that time). Then the friends will take kinds of coloured pens, then write nice nice into the book.
I remember very particularly one of the section, you need to fill in your friends. Its listed like your best friend, good friend, friend. Then i remember in sec 2, i saw someone's profile which writes, 100% susan, 90% mary, jane, 80% ivy, margaret etc... So damn funny la! You can actually list how much you friend the person by dividing them into percentage. Thinking back, its quite dumb.
Dunno the kids of this generation do this anot. I dont think have. Now everything also do on computer, do online. Want to see the person's profile just go around Friendster click around. Last time really damn lok kok. Everything also do manually. Take ppl's phone number also need to bring phonebook to sch then write down. And its not hp, its home number.. Hahaha..
Then i remember last time when want to go out with friends, always need to call at night then confirm everything. Then die die must stick to that time, cannot late. If you not feeling well on that day, die also must call your friend early in the morning, or else you need to drag yourself to meet him to cancel outing.
Nowdays, everyone seems to have a hp each. Some even have two or three. Then want to go out just mass msg, dont even need to call. Just sms the time, venue, do what then on liao. So convenient right.. BUT, problems start to occur. Ppl tend to be late when going out. Late 10-15min is still consider late. Worse still, some ppl can be as late as 1-2hrs. Late liao, just msg "Sorry! Just wake up! Give me 30 min!". Then in the end, wait for them for more than 1hr. Wow! See what technology had done to us. Last time, no matter what happened, ppl will stick to the time that they set, because they know if they are late, the friend might just go off alone or go home.
Enough of talking about the past. Haha.. Or else next time nothing to rumble about. I was also thinking about friends.
How do you really define friends? Those ppl that you only say hi or smile to are considered friends? Those that only look you up when they need something are also considered friends? Last time, i thought i had many friends. Most are those hi bye type, some are those are your project mates, some are those who are in the same CCA as you.
SO do you consider them all friends? Or how do you define friends? Those that remember your birthday are your friends? Those that give you presents are friends? Those that send goodnight/friends msg to you are friends? Those who have been with you during your high and low time in lives are friends? Those that only treat you nicely when you are of value to them?
To me, those who have been with you through your darkest and finest hours are called friends. So as i count, the friends that i have dont even need my toes to count. Ten fingers also still have discount.
I admit I am a horrible friend. I swear I am one. I can be very annoying. I can be super arrogant. I can be very sarcastic. I dont even remember all my friends birthday. So do i qualify to be a friend?
How to recognize friends.. Hmmm.. In my style, i speak with sarcasm. So those who cannot tahan sarcasm, those who received my sarcasm and then goes "tsk" are definitely not friend. If you cannot tahan the bad side of that person, then you can jolly well forget that person. Isnt this way better? You show your bad side to ppl, then let them discover your good points by themselves. It is definitely better than ppl who always show their good side to you, then when you turn around they backstab you, use all kinds of rumour to defame you. Leave backstabbing to politicians and office workers, they can whack each other as hard as they like.
Hmmm.. Was also thinking. Are ppl becoming more pragmatic? For eg in MSN, you say hi to someone, then you ask them what they doing. Then after that you dont ask any more question, then they nudge and ask you why you ask. Its rather annoying to me. Sometimes, you really want to ask those ppl you know, how they are now, what they doing now. Then some might think you need a favour from them, or simply say that you bo liao. It makes you feel that the world is such a cold place. Some of you might think that, "so what if you know how i am now?". This kind of mentality is so ass.
Its about the humanistic side of life, dunno how to say la. Maybe give an example. Take for example i go back to corp and help out. Its not for CCA point, its not to action and tell ppl that "Hey! I'm a SJ Officer!". Over these past 3 years plus, ppl have asked me, "You go help got CCA point anot? Then got money anot?" Then when i say no, they would go like "Stupid! Go back no money, no CCA points. Go back for what." Yes! That is what ppl have said to me. It sounds super discouraging, but i persevered. I know I am doing it for a good cause. Its not for fame or whatever desires, its purely for the interest, passion, love, loyalty. So what if i got more certs, trophy of appreciation than other ppl, its still biodegradable afterall. One day it will still rust and termites will eat them. The other ppl will never know how to lead a group of ppl, they will never know how to hold correct meetings, they will never know how to conduct a lesson, they will not know how to plan and conduct trainings. One thing they surely wont have, they will never have the joy, comradeship, fun, knowledge that I have gained.
So i still have the last laugh! :D
and so He speaks
