First of all, i have to stress that even though this entry MAY (i emphasize on the 'may' again) seem like an emo blog, it's not, below are jus personal tots tat are generalized to 'shoot' certain ppl.
To play the game of life, we must balance the amount of 'givs' and 'takes' tat we can receive from others or issue back. With the society we are in now, most of the ppl around are the 'takers' and the 'givers' that are pretty much 'near-to-extinction'. One's popularity is not based simply on the number of "Friends" u hav on facebook/friendster, it's more like how many of those "Friends" you hav are willing to help u in times of need.
I hav recently received a call from a ex-cca mate whom i had proudly say to hav lost contact with (or rather not feeling to contact with b'cos of his attitute) as he had needed help with his work. He may think tat it was jus a simple survey/favour from a 'friend' (if he still consider me as one or vice versa tat is) but he didn't realise tat i felt more like i'm being used. People usually don't notice when they are the 'receiving' party becos they don't lose anything (or than the times where they receive nothing good but shit tat is). I guess tat's e problem with Singaporean and even though i'm one, i feel ashame of being one tat is born here sometimes. Nuff said and whined before i get arrested for bad-mouthing my own kind.
What i think is the most frustrating part about being a 'giver' is tat even though u giv so much, u don't seem to b able to receive anything. For instance, i needed help but ppl whom i tot are friends were there to leave me alone. That was when i became self-reliant, that was when i expect others to b the same and stop relying on me and tat was when i became more and more self-centered. I am not afraid to 'share' my flaws as i wan those who r reading tis to really appreciate ur friends around you whom had given u alot (regardless of anything) and to giv them back the respect they deserve before you lose more than wat they can lose; a valuable relationship tat u cannot buy (unless ur friend(s) accept bribes tat is >:) ).
