Friendship talk

It holds true that it's not the quantity but the qualtiy of the friendship that counts.
People enter our lives everyday; some might leave or some might stay; some make a difference or impact and some just remain as acquaintance.

I have to confessed that I've been a very lousy friend but am really touched by the concern and love given by my friends.

The other day, I promised Leeky to play squash with her around 6pm and headed to sleep. When the time comes to wake up, I had headache so I messaged her and told her I cant join her. Moments later, subconsicously I checked my phone and saw her replying that it was ok and she left her phone at home. I assumed all is well until the next day, when I met her coincidently in the hospital cafetaria and she joined me for breakfast. She seems like her usual happy mood. Then I left for my class. Told her I would see her in the afternoon. Then during the afternoon class, she was discussing vehemently with Olive but still joked around with me. Dunno why but I felt a tad bit distant. So, after class, she was talking to someone and I took my leave. From across the corridor, she shouted my name and called me over. I happily walked over and she told me in her cheerful but mischievious voice, that she cant stand it when I kept quiet and did not say anything. I told her that I dont understand what she meant. She proceeded to tell me that she waited for me for an hour yesterday evening at the squash court and she left her phone at home. To add on to the injury, Jeremy went for golf. OMG. My heart just fell. I felt so damn bad that I took my friend for granted. huhu. I immediately apologised profusely and offered to treat her teatime *not bribing in anyway but that's the least I can do* I am so glad she told me what happened. I am so glad that she did not "sweep it under the carpet". Over teatime, she told me stories that happened over the weekend while I was away. Sigh. She has every right to feel angry but she did not. I am confused by her actions. hahahah. I really felt relieved and glad that I did not lose her over this mistake (:

Today, Siong bought tickets for Ip Man 2 (which btw, is really a good movie. the kind of movie that gives me an unexplainable good feeling) and I am thankful for that. I think he bought it the second time, for me cos he initially bought tickets for the rest. I didnt know who else was going but only knew Chandan and Gayathri will be there. I did again my stupid habit of asking people out for dinner, a day before and then cancelled the last minute cos was dead tired *class ended late today*

I always assumed that at least they have company, so it's ok BUT I know it's NOT ok to break promises or simply assumed things and it's really a bad habit.

I met up with Gayathri and Chandan, who had their dinner there, at Dataran Pahlawan. There's like 10 minutes more till 9.20pm and I stupidly decided to packed a light dinner to have it in cinema. It took quite sometime and to walk from the stall to the cinema took approximatly 5 mins. Chandan went and took the tickets from the rest while Gayathri accompanied me to wait for my food. We reached the cinema entrance bout 9.27pm *approx la* and Gayathri wanted to go to the bathroom. So, me and Chandan entered first. Thankfully the movie havent started and they were playing advertisements. Siong managed to get the middle row. The rest were already seated. 4 guys including Siong. There was 2 seat empty beside Siong and another one right at the other end. The 4 guys were sitting between the empty seats. SO, I sat with Chandan initially and was surprised with the seating arrangement. I was told that my seat is the single seat at the other end. I DID say, "Er, can't you guys like, move a seat?" NOT that I am creating fuss but shouldn't guys be more gentleman? It's not that by moving a seat, the movie will be distorted. Yes, I know that I came in late but not that the movie has started also. I did not want to make things bad and decided to take the single seat at the other end, beside Chin and a a couple of strangers. I was fuming. Angry.

Tell me if I am overreacting or what? but I only came cos I knew Gayathri and Chandan were going. I did not know who else were there other than Siong who was kind enough to buy the tickets. If I wanted to be isolated, MIGHT AS WELL I BUY MY OWN TICKET AND WATCH ALONE. I wanted to send a long message and complained to Leeky *that also felt bad for not watching with her* but decided not too cos my AINO screen is damn huge. People beside me will be able to see what I've wrote. haha. I sent a SMS to Gayathri though. I felt so angry. Call me irrational or dramatic, whatever k! Chandan was so nice to offer to switch places. Made me feel bad cos I dont want to separate the couple. Told them it was ok but they insisted. 2 mins into the show, we switched places. I felt worse cos they were sharing popcorns and drink and now they are seating at both ends, with 5 of us in between. Sigh.

After the movie ended, the couple accompanied me to my car although their car is at the other end. My gosh. I felt so touched.

Thank you, my friends.

This post is really to remind myself not to take things for granted (:
and to announced their good deeds. haha
