Quality Friends

Hello. 

Yesterday's iftar (ceh, nak jugak ikut trend guna iftar) was quite okay. It is a very lively gathering between old friends, and we exchanged a few insults here and there to show that we care for each other. However, I was actually trying to avoid having a conversation with someone that I believe knows why I was doing so. That someone would have gotten my attention should that someone does not make me feel like a first aid kit last year.

I mean, you should treat your friends equally, all the time. And equally here does not necessarily means between friends, but towards one particular person too. You should treat that one friend equally, when you need him/her, and when you don't need him/her. This, is very hard for some to do.

This is because it's human nature to actually use the two-tier system when handling anything, even friendship. When you need them, amboi bukan main best friends forever tepuk tampar tangan dahi. But when you have no use of them, senyap sunyi macam jalan kat kampung at Maghrib during Ramadan. Why should it be that way? It is very rude to do that, and I know the feeling of the receiving end.

So I ended up trying to ignore that someone. In the end, I did feel a tinge of guilt, but to me, if I start to act normal again, the cycle would begin again. I'd rather be happy with more friends rather than being miserable just to entertain one person. 

On a lighter note, I went through the topic of quality this morning. My lecturer asked, what do you perceive as a quality goods. That made me think. It varies from one person to another, the perception of a quality goods. Therefore, when you accept the goods, you are satisfied with the quality, even though others might think that it is garbage. Well, who cares what people think right?

Then my lecturer went on and asked about a quality partner. It applies to that too. When you accept your partner as they are, that person would be a quality partner to you no matter how lousy they are. It's normal to hear stories like 'I really love him and he loves me too and we're one happy couple he's the nicest most handsome guy in the universe' even though the guy is Justin Bieber.

Like I said, who cares about what people think. If you feel and think that your partner is the best, carry on doing so. To me, I've a quality partner and I know people know that I have a quality partner. Now I'm trying my best to be one. My advise, be a good partner if your partner is good to you. Return the favor. If he/she is not, don't be one. It's hard to move mountains nowadays, so why bother?
