++ Friends - My stand.

I remembered Khor once said, "if people want to ask me out, they have to adhere to my schedule and to book me in advance". He went on saying that i have no need to be a social butterfly to know people. "People will want to know you", he said. Hopefully that is the case cos i really suck at making new friends. lol.

Being constantly on the move for the past few days helped me ponder on this topic.

Before you read on, i just want to say, if you recall the topic "Sets" or Venn Diagrams, no one is classified solely in One of the categories. Often, they flit between two or three categories, depending on the circumstances. So yea.

The bunch of people whom I can confide in, who knows me inside out (and vice versa) and who has similar interests as me are only considered under this category if we converse on the phone/MSN or meet up on a routine basis. Well, you know who you are and Best Friends you definitely are.

There's a gray area between close/quite close friends. People who meet up less frequently, with the intention of meeting up and catching up on each others life constitute these 2 categories. Topics usually arise from our current state of life. I feel that close friends would share stuff which they deem personal while good friends would just basically talk a little about their lives until the topics saturate and a movie would be in place of talking.

The people whom you meet at a certain point in your life and remained where they are after you move on are known acquaintances. Friends whom you made in school and ceased contact and has minimal contact with after graduation are known as acquaintances while those who move on with you are your closer friends. Similarly, after i ORD, i wonder how many people i will keep in contact with, and how many i will move on without.

The last of them would of course be the Hi Bye people. There are just so many of them, too many in fact. Two words, they are in the "Wrong Category". These are the people whom we meet once/twice in the whole course of our lives and who failed to leave even a good impression to make us want to contact each other. Oh well, whatever.

Putting a random thought into words ain’t easy. And i'm not really in the mood to pen essays. My bad. =( Thanks for reading though.
