Isn't it..

Isn't it interesting how you always find something to do when you got actually more important things to be doing, but you just don't want to do it?

Just like how i am blogging now, when i have a test tmr.

Isn't it interesting how you dont like something but yet get it unknowingly?

Just like how i dont adore olives but walked into Brumby's getting a sundried tomato and olives twist.

Isn't it interesting how you cant find something you are desperately looking for, but then when you don't really need it, it miraculously reappears?

Just like my student card a few days ago, which disappeared, only to reappear again.

Isn't it interesting how some little things just make your day?

Just like how i always find money when i pack my room.. Whether its 5 cents or 10 bucks.. Maybe this shows how absent minded i can get, but its an incentive, no doubt to pack my room!

On a sadder note of things,

It isnt interesting to find out a friend you really trust is not all that truthful to you, when trust is a super important element of any relationship it may be.

And more so, dismissing this untruthfulness, only to be faced by several more untruthful occasions.

You start thinking, what kind of a friend is this?

Also, since young, I am sure you must have experienced at least one situation where by you get told a secret and the person goes, "Don't tell anybody k?" I used to think this was only common in children, but sometimes it gets tiring to keep hearing that, even now, cos you might actually accidentally let things slip out of your mouth, when you can tell A and not B, that kind of thing? More so, growing up, people start getting intelligent, and sharper, not as naive as 3 year olds. What if all along you have been untruthful to a particular friend, when that same friend knows the actual truth? But she just doesnt want to expose or target your story which differs from the truth? Back to keeping secrets, I acknowledge the fact that everyone keeps secrets. Even i do, and I am also guilty of saying things like, "Dont tell anybody k? kind of sentences. Its decreasing though. Cos I dont really like it sometimes. Like how a friend is really unhappy, tells you about it, but then says that magic sentence, and with you fuming as well, you cant do anything to help your friend for example? How about being a victim whereby you dont get told a secret? And everyone else around you knows? Who can actually define whether you are priviledged enough to know of this secret not meant to be told to anybody else? Within a group of friends, is there a ranking system whereby the higher ranks can be told? Where is the cut off point? If there really is, what is the true definition of a friend?

Ok, I know there are best, good, so-so friends and acquaintances. So it might seem accurate to say the best friends would be first to know, followed by good friends. And maybe so-so friends get left out and acquaintances? Not even in the picture. I realise a friend you treat as a good friend, might not consider you as a good friend. Its a truth difficult to accept at times, a situation difficult to handle. Different standards of friends, back stabbing of friends, good friends, bad friends or even having no friends.

To the socially active people out there, how many true friends do you actually have? A proverb once wrote, If you die having 5 close friends around you, you die a fortunate person. Friends come and go, throughout our lives. Our good friends stay, and genuine friends can be felt from the heart. Sincerity is a thing that cannot be faked or imposed. Its so genuine and pure. Dont be a hypocrite.

My sister and mother have few good friends to boast about. Although numbers are few, they are not eager in increasing this number much. What would the number mean? Nothing. THe quality of the friendship which they share with their friends is something which surpasses maybe having ten times the number of ok friends for example.

As for me, i have a few really good friends. Really thank God for them. As much as i treasure their friendship, i hope they feel the same too. Most of them, I hardly even know what they are doing this very minute and second. Yet, they are friends I can really talk to, share my problems and joys with. Friends I havent seen in a few years but still hold them closely to my heart?

Friendships are as complex as any relationship present. Human interpersonal relationships are something which need the hearts, minds and souls of 2 to maintain. Never easy to gain, maintain and develop. Never without ups and downs. Never without joys and sorrows.

Hmm, sometimes i think ignorance is bliss and Silence is golden?

Isn't it interesting how i set out to write a short blog but yet it turned out not to be so?

"My friends are few but the number is just a number.
10 or 100 is just a number, like pipes to a plumber.
Always consider the quality, not the quantity.
No matter what, treat your friends well and true,
Support them when in need,
Stay by their sides when they bleed."
