making the friendship last

well, at least according to a friend of mine, it requires that one finds each other vaguely repulsive.

vaguely repulsive: slightly unpleasant

its rather amusing and ironic isn't it? nonetheless, i do agree with it.hahahaha. the group of friends that i m really close to seems to be proving that point. Honestly speaking, i do not seem to know why we're very close friends. The things that we do to each other somehow would never make anyone believe that we're friends at all. Bitching, getting on each others back, attempts to irritate each others lives, telling lame reasons and excuses when we're late, poking our noses at each others business, laughing at each others weaknesses and even making fun at how we picture ourselves 20 to 30 yrs down the road! i do not think normal friends would do that to each other. It has has never been easy explaining to others about the relationships that i have with my close friends. more often than not, many would comment without failing a grin, upon seeing our behaviours and attitudes towards each other:

aren't u guys supposed to be very good friends?

my answer would be simple: yes we are.that's how it works :)

the first thing that comes to their minds would be, we're very hypocritical individuals.but what defines one to be hypocritical is when one pretends to be morally good to each other in person and we're not that. we blatantly display our unhappiness and grudges to each other. in fact, it's very seldom that we actually sing praises or even show care and concern (what i believe normal friends would do) to each other.

Do you think normal friends would do these?

after crossing a busy road

friend A: why did u let me cross first?

friend B: oh, i know that i might die crossing first, so i let

you have the honour

friend A: (as usual, with his blatant remarks) *rolls eyes*,

whatever.

coming up with the best reasons for being late

friend C: shit! we're gonna be late!

friend A: ..as usual

friend C: shit, the phone is ringin. what should we say???

friend A: okok, tell them that you left ur ez-link card at

home and that you had to go

back to take it. oh yar, don't forget to mention

that we were actually early for

once but due to unforseen circumstances, we're

gonna be late.

friend C: Alright! that's a good one.

trying to ignore

friend A: hey, how, how! friend D is calling me again for

like a million times in a row!

how irritating, forever wanting to know what

we're doing.

friend B: lets think of a way to shut friend D off. hmmm,

wad about, you just ignore the call and explain

to friend D tmr that you were asleep or

bathing or erm..didn't feel the vibration of the

phone or simply saying that your phone is spoilt.

aiyar, at most tmr you have to just tolerate the

naggings of friend D

friend A: true, true. wait, friend D is calling you too!

friend B: damn. now what.

friend A: quick! switch off ur phone.

friend B: now, both of us will have to tolerate the naggings

of friend D

friend A: what to do, we're friends. there's no way out

*grins*

bitching

i can't remember any examples as there were too many! hahaha. they know who they are.

it is funny looking back at the things we do to each other. but i guess those are the very reasons that bring us together. weird but its always a joy to be with them :)

a company like no other!
