Friends...

What makes someone a friend? What makes you a friend of someone. Everyone has different definition of the word "friend". According to dictionary.com, the definition of friends is as follow:

1. A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
2. A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
3. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
4. One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
5. Friend A member of the Society of Friends; a Quaker.

So, which one are we meant to go for? which one are we meant to follow and adopt in our lives?

Personally, i really dont know. Is it the person whom you hang out with everyday at uni? the person whom you play bball with everynight? the person who drinks with you and cracks stupid ass jokes?which one is it?

Personally, i think its all of the above. Your enemy can also be a friend of yours. Come on, we all have to face the facts, no one is perfect, no one is close to it, not one tiny bit. Everyone is bound to dislike a characteristics of another person...even though they are friends. So personally,i feel that everyone is a friend, even your enemies...yes...even your enemies.

Been thinking recently at how i dont reli contact my friends back in malaysia anymore. Guess i used to call home once a week ....to all my friends to check out on them...but its come to a point that i already know so many ppl over here to the point that im packed up with them....and dont reli have the time....to call back and all. Its not that i dont want to...but yeah...just..living a different life here.

Its come to that point where you dont even know what to talk to them about...there isnt much relevant topic anymore...ive been here for 4 years now...and im barely back in malaysia for 3 months in total each year. Needless to say, even more so with my curfew back home..that i cant meet up with everyone...and after 4 years...its just hard to keep in contact...everyone has a different life now...and they have new friends....theres nothing you can do about it...its just life...

Even meeting your best friend from high school can be different...its just harder nowadays...thers onli that much stuff you can talk about...ppl mature and choose different paths along the way...and the common topics are just not...that common anymore...

So what does this mean...that im not that close to that person anymore...i hope not...How i look at it is that....even though we walk down different paths now...that doesnt mean our bond isnt as close as before...I personally know that my best friend back home...is still my best friend at heart...and whenever im in trouble....i can always count on him...just like before....even though we do not have much to talk about now...it doesnt matter...we stay by each other through thick and thin.....and thats life....

just a shout out to everyone back home....if i dont call and everything...hope you guys understand...its just that..i have a life here as well..and i have heaps of friends here as well to fill up my time...but that dont mean i have forgotten you guys..and you all know it...i always try my best to meet up with you guys...and talk about as much bullshit as we can...and dont worry....your photos are on my wall...so...trust me...your a long long long way from being forgotten...
