i was a bad friend

yesterday, before i shut my eyes, i kinda felt that it has been since such a long time i chatted with my school friends (mr khaw aside because he is having holidays so tiap tiap minggu chat dgn dia). the rest just give me a fuzzy memory of last time chatted. then suddenly, miss A came along to complain about her current undergoing education. seriously, a HUMAN needs 7 hours of sleep. you are robotic. so i can't compare with you. she was telling me how sometimes academic stuff gave her such a blow to her confidence. yeah, me too at times.

but if you think more closely, at the end of the day, the employers won't really just look at your academic results. being active in non-university stuff is helpful. because employers might be interested in your networking skills as well. although personally i disagree with using the word such as networking, i participate in society because i am sociable animal. while i like to chat with others, i do not like to use friendship card in order to climb up my career path, hopefully. some say, nah, it is part and parcel of life. really? you use friend in your daily life? 

i can't deny that some friends are what i call user-friendly friends. they only appear when you have a value. sometimes, i can feel that another friend is just being used. and the thought of speaking out is too kpc. hence, i decided to write. i usually shy away from such people. remember, user friendly person is not what i call friend. they are just there sometimes. someone ask me, how you know they are like that? easy, when they talk, the conversation has no substance and more often than not, always ask for help without much return. i feel bad for telling this, but i think people like this will go very far in life. one, because they will be more likely to be CEO or business owners. two, because they know when to ask for help. 

but, do you remember what is the purpose of your existence? climbing so high for what, if all you get is money and power. it seldom brings happiness. at the end of the day, you want people close to you to share the joy with you. 

ohh, back to miss A's case. the employer will also look at your personality as a whole. i keep hearing this comments from lecturer and friends. they say they can roughly guess which company (big 4) you belong to based on your personality. ohh really? seems to be if a company hires me, most likely they have a lot of smiley employees . =) a good thing. some people really never smile one. i dun understand why but i am not going to comment much on this. personality case is too hard to observe. ohh yeah, miss A. i think you will do fine. you will complain all the way to SUCCESS. and please remember me by the time you attain success ok? belanja me go eat good food ke, europe trip ke? 

there is a saying, if you worry too much about the destination, you will forget the joy of the journey. i am not a bad friend, am i? see, i spend half an hour dedicating this to you. next time, i will try to give you 10.5 minutes for chatting ok? haha XD
