It has been quite a day.. woke up at 7am, needed to like two hours to decide on what to wear for a more formal meeting in the morning, had good lunch and managed to get a good message after that at a spa in orchard. And then meeting with boss in the evening, dinner at office area, and many phone calls to update my clients till like 9pm... when was the last time i had a day that's so filled up like that???
And it does not end there, My two pals were supposed to meet me at bedok at 10pm for some important meetings, but in the end, they were both late, by the time they reached, it's almost 11pm..
So something not so pleasant happened, while waiting for them i called an old friend for a drink at the bedok block 85.
I remembered when i know her, she was stilll an innocent school girl.. we are friend for almost like 12 years? nah nothing happended to our friendship, but she was sharing a bit of her life now. I appreciate very much her honest and straight forwardness in revealing that she's seeing two guys at the same time!!!
OK>> I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD REALLY...
And she knew i would be shocked...
The thing is, she and the bf had been together for almost like 5 years, and she's now seeing another guy for the last one month... and she's also aware that the 'new friend' has another relationship ongoing..
What's going on here?
I have to give credit to her honest confession, though after what i said to her, she said she should not have told me!..
Sigh... it is really disturbing!!
I know, what i heard might be getting a bit common nowadays, but still!!!!????!!!
She admitted that they are just in for the thrill.. and if it turn out to be something real, it's good news, if not, it's OK too?!?, and if they are caught by their partners, then it's just too bad...
And i asked if she's not serious about the current boyfriend, then why not end it instead to lead a life that's so full of deceits and lies, but she admitted that she's selfish, because until she's sure of the new relationship, she'll not let go of her current bf!
Speechless...
Well, i think it is easy for people to criticise such selfishness and immoral behaviours, but other people's experience and stories should serve more for our own self reflection and not made the same mistakes.
Her candid and matter of fact way of putting it really took me by surprise and I am not sure i did manage to talk any sense to her, so at end of the the very short catch up, i just urged her to take care of herself and not do anything that she'll regret later..
It's really disappointing to hear things like that, such stories i am hearing it a little more often than i like, yet i still believe these group of people are still the minority. One very pathetic commonalities among them it;s that they are so very often complaining about no true love, and love doesn't last, why this.. why that.. etc etc.. they just don't get it! how to find true love, when our self are not true? how to last when we are coveting over every new temptations given any new opportunities? Why this why that, why never ask about our own flaws and mistakes?
Everything should always start from our self! Right?!
I wish my friend well, and hope that someday she'll come to her senses, and hopefully it'll not be too late.
