friend: "i will always be there for you."
noobthenick: "sure?"
friend: "absolutely."
(some random stuff happened...)
noobthenick: "hey thought you were supposed to be a friend, to be there for me..."
friend: "sorry, had something to attend."
it's true that a friend would stand by your side in times of troubles, but not always. even i am also guilty of that.
i could still remember a few years back when i got caught for stealing a pathetic chocolate bar at the supermarket, with my dud friend joash ong. no one showed up to bail the both of us out, except our parents.
another incident that happened was during a detention in school, i argued the vice-principal and broke down badly in the office. eventually my parents were the ones who had to clear up the mess.
third incident was during the molestation case that happened when i was in secondary two, who came to see the discipline master? my parents.
in times of financial difficulties, who provided the funds for me to go overseas and living expenses? obviously my parents.
thousands of illustrations to describe how great and sacrificial our parents are, and yet nowadays we take them for granted. from an infant till the way i look now, they had neither uttered a single word of complaint nor regret about giving birth to us. not only do we not appreciate their love for us, our expectations from them grew even higher according to the living standards in the society.
we complain about not getting enough allowances from our parents, we complain about not getting the extra incentives other children are getting nowadays, we complain about this and that. sometimes i feel like throwing all these rotten kids into those third world countries and let them have a taste of the life there.
that's it, i had enough. whatever allowance my dad or mom is giving me for the china trip, i am going to accept it without a word of complaint.
i don't understand why i am ranting my thought here, but i believe that we should really cherish our parents now while we can. i really cherished the time with mom during the buffet dinner just now. we had a ride on the mercedes limo cab down to hotel rendevous and savoured all the seafood and cold dishes.
super ex to the max. it was actually a treat before i leave for china, and i really appreciated it and cherished that period of time during dinner.
thank you mom. thank you Lord for the preparation you have made for the both of us. :)
