close friends

Went for another security thingy today. Got to know about this driver whom i never talked to before, his name is yt. Ended up talking to him almost the entire free time. Then as i always to do those i met, i will scroll down their phone book to find names of people that i might know and i asked,"who is this AL?

AL is the name of a girl in my primary school, thats why i asked him how she is. YT replied bluntly and said,"she is a stupid girl who doesn't think"

Of cos, curiosity plays and i started asking more. That was when he started sharing his problem regarding this AL, his best friend and some close friends.

He started off saying that there were so close a friend that they were willing to shield them with their own body during their gang fights with a ratio of 7:50 people. But after a yr or so, these group of friends have issues that involved betrayal and trust that turned their relationship sour. YT was so disappointed with them, he told me that he wanted to del away their numbers but he just cant be bothered to do so.

'they are not worth my extra effort to do so'

With that, i told him how lucky i am that i never encounter such problem. (not that i know of really) I made careful selection of friends, that was why i never get hurt from them. Or perhaps that i fear being hurt by them, thats why i made careful selection... hmm..

All of sudden i rmbed of the ghost cafe i went that morning. Then i started sharing my scary experience to him and we ended up laughing and laughing, (even my oic who was evedropping secretly cannot stand it and burst into laughter.) What actually happened during my trip was another story, what i wanted to tell him was that when a friend wanted my support, i'll be there be it needing to wake up so early despite how late i got back home yesterday, and be it needin to take cab back camp from cine at 1pm which is another $12. So long as i can spend abit more time in supporting a friend, money doesn't really matter.
(I will make an extra effort to meet up and support my friends, that was why at times i was angry with those who are late... people like jc especially! and people who is uncontactable like ec and ce!)
It was then i started telling him about my theory that money cannot buy happiness, but if there is chance for you to do so, better buy it quickly as you will regret when you don't have the chance to do so. I stated the example of going overseas, that there are people who are so rich but they dont have the time to even go overseas to enjoy.

I really don't know how come i shared so much of my philosophy with yt. Perhaps i've morphed into peer support mode after my chat with pc the night before.

Then i tried to console him, "good friends will never change no matter how long you all never met or even the distance, as long as you have one or two of such friends you are already fortunate enough, you don't need to make friends with the entire world"
(*i suddenly rmbed i said the same thing to gr 2 yrs back...)

He started boasting about his childhood friends from hongkong... ...
