friends.

i believe that i have been deleted from one of my friend's (or would it more apt to say "ex-friend" now?) msn list..and my contact number has been wiped off his mobile phone memory. Not that it really matters...he and i weren't that close anyway. What really struck me as odd was that people can and will still resort to such childish acts even at our age (btw, this ex-friend is older than me..in case u were wondering). It's like the "i don't want to friend you anymore" shit we used to do in kindergarden. How sad.

This led me to contemplate what friendship truly means. Would you hit the delete key on your true friend..someone with whom u had a real relationship with..someone who u treasured and someone who was part of your life? I don't think so.

Would you cut someone out of ur life with an sms? An sms that goes something to this effect..."i spoke to XX about you..and don't worry, i won't bother you anymore. you are a wonderful person. Take care."

What the...?!!!

I say a true friend would at least come ascertain the truth of the matter and slog it out. Sure, we'd fight but no relationship is perfect. Fair-weathered friends would just listen to the grapevine and go running..they'd not care if it were the truth or not. Much less stay to work stuff out.


Anyway, i've been deleted..and i wonder if the said person would still visit my blog to poke his nose into my life still. Voyeur!

All i know is that i don't value people who listen to the grapevine and as the chinese saying goes...you can't collect back splashed out water.

XxX,
