What are Friends Really For

Today, no actaully yesterday and today, I am a little upset, no saddened is a little better, with a very good friend of mine. I consider this person one of my closest. Close enough that I know I don't have to be in touch all the time to know this person is there for me, with no conditions.

Until the school year started. I have told you about what a crazy schedule I have this year with school. On top of that I have to work, do daily chores for the house like cooking and maintenance. Whatever time I have to myself I maximise. In fact this notebook of mine has become a good companion where I keep in touch with friends and colleagues and clients too.

This friend of mine has been wanting to see me but I just can't seem to meet our schedules. And Bob has been unwell this week too so that is extra something to attend to. It is not that I don't want to meet up and have a chat but I have limited time to squeeze it in.

It makes me sad that this friend which is supposed to me so well sees the situation as otherwise. I have been accused of not making time to meet up but instead willingly seeing my other girlfriends. Which is so unfair cause the only time I have seen them was during the New Year Eve and during the SISTA sale at my house last weekend. Facebook has even been blamed for changing me.

I try to tell myself my friend is that way, emotional and overreacts but still it hits a nerve. As if I like running around doing errands for the house and for myself. As if I like not being able to have lunch with my friends cause I have to send the kids to school and KAFA.

To top it off, another friend of mine and I are working on a project together which has been on hold for sometime now. Even that is being made into an issue. I don't know what else to tell this friend other than stop overreacting! One more things, just because I don't post comments on this friend's blog is being made into an issue.

That's why my status on FB today is: "OH WELL.....!!!!" Because seriously, Oh well ..... if that is what friends are for so be it. I think I should not elaborate or explain anymore than I already have. If friends don't understand friends, what more should I say!

Oh dear I see now you oso have a category labelled sakit hati yang teramat sangat'.. En Ebi...comment sikit :)Anyhoo, hope u like this one.

If you have but one good friend,
you're blessed much more then
you know.
There may be others
you meet, but they'll just come
and go.
Good friends, stick with
you, whether you're happy or sad.
They'll laugh with you and cry with
you and never treat you bad.
A good friend always listens, never
judges you and lets you know, most importantly they understand.

cheer up mummy!!

Puan Anis, this is a version of plagiarism :)

Yat, well it's another type of friendship, and good friends will know that. Memang sometimes can be irritating, but thats what emotional friendship does to certain people. Especially when perhaps the numbers are limited... !!!

Entah la.
