Quality over Quantity...

Paul and Angela's wedding over the long weekend (due to the Labour Day holiday) was awesome! The video/ photo slideshow of their pasts, and how they met was real hilarious...! And the irony, Angela being Mrs Wong! She now shares my surname! :P


I do hope they'd enjoy their honeymoon in Greece...! Exotic location! =)



I havent been clubbing much, mainly due to me wanting to be a good girl so Ive pretty much been spending time catching up and doing mundane stuff with the family and that Ive been spending time "dating" my books and a mystery man in particular... (Not telling! =X )



Admist all of these, I did realise, after having a long conversation, which made me feel real down and sad about loads of stuff (Maybe its that time of the month..! Mine's irregular BTW...Imagine..! ), where I started thinking of my social circle and how significantly few real close friends I do actually have...I mean, I'd rather go for quality than quantity, but its pretty saddening to have friends whom u adore n love to bits totally forgetting about you/casting you away when you're no longer needed by them...Its an irony simply because I always try to be there for my friends, so much so that I feel that most of my "so-called" friends take my niceness and the goodness in me for granted; Some of them expect/assume me to be there for them 24/7 and when I dont, it literally tears me when they say that I wasn't there for them when they needed me.



Oh well, so what is the balancing point then? When should I still remain nice and caring towards friends that matter and fair-weathered friends that'd do a "David Copperfield", aka, disappearing act when bad weather does fall upon us? :(


Or is it just me? Have I been too nice to all of my friends, geninue friendships, or otherwise (aka, the superficial ones) so much so that I am often taken for granted and far too often, taken for a joyride of sorts?


I have been thinking quite abit about who are my true blue friends, those that have been there for me, thick and thin, seen through my ups and downs - my joys, sorrows, tears and anguish...Those that have offered me piles of tissue, advices, pats and hugs to those that squirm and run away at the very instant when I say something's troubling me...


A few names that have always/constantly been there instantly pop up in my mind - you guys know who you are...And I guess that I am truly blessed to have them around me; to catch me when I fall, to give their most honest opinions when it matters, and to always have a ready hug whenever I falter...


Mummy and closest friends have told me that the inherent problem or plus point about me, depending on which side of the fence you're on, is that despite all the social hard-knocks that life has taught me, I am still pretty gullible and naive and the fact that I dont really know how to judge people and their intentions so much so that when someone says that they need help, I would naturally try my best and go out of the way to help them, without expecting anything in return...If they need someone to talk to, I would try by calling or sms-ing them, or just clown around and act all silly and goofy to make them smile... In fact, I still do have random people still calling/sms-ing me at wee hours in the morning, sober or otherwise, ranting about their problems and how they just need a listening ear...


Cos I've always believed in what Mummy have always said and taught me - Always be nice to people, for what goes around would come around...If you're nice to people, people would appreciate your niceness and treat you the way you've treated them...But now Mummy always adds a disclaimer where she askes me not to be nice to everyone and anyone...That I ought to be selectively nice only to certain people, and to people whom really matter...


I guess I've to start learning from somewhere, and right now, at this very moment, I would prefer quality over quantity, thank you very much...! :)



To a particular mystery man ~ Thank you for talking to me until wee hours in the morning! =)



I LOVE all my QUALITY friends!
