Friends

Friends

good friends are hard to come by. cherish them. i nvr had one in pri sch. until now, i dun even noe. friends now will nvr last, my dad says. we will forget. there are no real friends. backstabbing, slanders... they come altogether. i reflected on myself, am i a good friend? do i really help others in need? do i lend them a listening ear? am i a little too much in teasing?

or do i juz suck?

i found out dat a true friend will always be there. trusts you completely, respects you, nvr selfish and stuff...

and then, there are those bloody gits.

the blacksheeps.

they use all ways and means to get wad they wan. by hook or by crook.

i met A LOT of them.

they sabo u whenever they can.

they retort your every sentence. they tarnish your every reputation and they throw your every face.

they are just using u as stepping stones to get wad they want.

a right pain in the ass.

then there are those.. extra caring friends...

these which my parents strongly discourage.

they always talk abt bgr.

I treat them like monks chanting prayers.

stone in front of them

but can they change?

the ans is no.

this is fate

if a pair is destined to be together, they will nvr be separated.

true love can happen anytime, not just in fairy tales.

it's only a matter of time or u just won meet one in ur life at all.

i hav a story for you guys:

Long before our time, a chinese commander went for a stroll by the river. he met an old man with a book and a bag full of red strings. he asked: "mister, wad are u reading and wad are these red strings?" the old man replied "this books states all the couples who are destined to be together. the strings tie them together. once they are tied, they will be inseparable." commander:" wow. can u tell me who will i marry with?" old man: "u will marry with the daughter of the vegetables seller at the market here."

Hearing this, the commnder was angry. he did not want to marry a vegetable seller. he left in a huff. upon returning, he ordered his men to kill the family of the vegetable seller. the plan was carried out swiftly and quietly. however, the girl, whom the commander was destined to marry with, survived with minor injuries.

Years passed, the commander became the emperor. he was preparing for his marriage. finally, he chosen a beautiful lady. she was a daughter of a minister. the lady always wore a small butterfly sticker at a forehead. after the couple was happily married, the emperor asked: "my dear, why do u always wear that sticker? take it down so i can see ur beautiful face." the lady replied: "when i was young, i survived an attacked. all i got was a cut on my forehead that left a scar. i was adopted by the minister." saying that she took off the sticker. seeing that, the emperor broke into tears and hugged her. he said "it's true indeed. this is fate. i can't avoid it."

Up in the sky, the old man was looking down, smiling. he is the man we called, the god of marriage.

haiz, true love. fate. we cant seem to avoid it. just live life and take it in your stride. but, remember that do your best in every aspect. live life to the fullest. Remember this things: love, friendship, respect, control, happiness and kinship. frm today onwards, i shall not be a pain in someone's ass. i'm gonna change. live and let live. oh, yi chen, ur ban is lifted. :)
