F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

No, this post is not about the sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It's about me. So if you're not interested, just click the X on the top right hand corner of your window.

At this point in life, friends are no longer as important as before. Sure, on a day to day basis, they still play an important role, but overall, it doesn't matter to me a much that they come and go.

Perhaps, it's because being my friend is tough. To be my best friend is even tougher.

I admit that I do have a set of rather high morals (relative to others, in this current day and age). To make things worse, I expect my friends to somewhat fall within those morals and my best friend(s) to fit most of the morals.

Some of them may seemed to fit initially. But over time, people change. Situations change. Their morals change. (This is what some of us call "flexible morals.")

And when they go, I'm left alone.

Disappointed.

Sometimes, ignorance is really bliss. Sure, I do treasure and care for my friends. I still want to be there for them in times of need. But there are some secrets that are so deep and dark that I prefer never to know of.

And then there's the case that I'm being accused.

It feels lousy when your friends, whom you think understand you, turn around and accuse you of things that they should know you'll never do.

Okay, that's a mouthful. Let's have an example.

For instance, you have a strong stand against pre-marital sex. But your friend think (and maybe spread) that you had sex with your boyfriend (and maybe not boyfriend. Just some guy). How innocent?!

My friendships are built on trust, time, love and loads more. And beneath all these, there're morals. Some traits that are against my morals (e.g. cheating in tests) can be tolerated and turned a blind eye towards (though I will nag and discourage such behaviour). Others like treasuring life and family, treating living things and relationships with care, and being firm in his/her grounds (when they are ethically right) are harder to be compromised.

Then again, it's based on my morals. How selfish can I get?

Economic Plan

The US economy is down.

The UK economy is down.

The Asian economy is also down.

We hear promises of tax cuts, interest rates reduction and more, but such actions (some to the extent of drastic, I would say, for certain economy type) may make things worse. Perhaps, the best economic plan now is to address the confidence issue.

The question is, how?

Where did you get your news from? Newspapers? Television newscasts? Online?

Perhaps it's time for some 'developmental media' to work it's magic together with the governments all over the world.

That, of course, is based on the assumption that most of us are vulnerable to media influences. :)

Noah's Ark

The New Paper on Sunday published an article on this Dutch man who built a Noah's Ark.

Don't you think this resembles alot like the movie, Evan Almighty?

I want (prefer?) a man...

Who isn't afraid to hold my hands in front of his friends;

Who do what is right, even though it may be unpopular.

Who will wear the wedding band to work.

I want a man who knows the importance of all these small little things. Because it's the little things that count.
