Food for thought.....or thinking of food?

Nothing profound. Nothing philisophical. Just food. Lots and lots of food.

Serious now

 

I was reading my friends' blog entries today (as always), when I noticed something common about all of them - they mentioned problems faced in life. Not that it's a wonder people blog about problems in life, but the usual cheerful and lively 'banter' is totally missing.

Time to play the trend-follower again.

I've heard that people who work as insurance agents, financial advisors and such have few close friends. Personally, I agree with that. Which is why I dread the fact that 1 of my friends chose to work in the industry after graduation.

朋友之间最好还是不要谈到钱。谈钱即使不伤感情也会令人尴尬。

problems? wat problems? hehee, mine was juz a journal to remind myself in case I got lost again. XD

yeah man, it really sucks to use $ to 看清 a person. How many % is really for friendship & out of good will, and how % is juz for the survival of oneself?

To wat extent will one go for a friend? Well, this is one area I always challenge myself in for worthy friends. ;o) You should too...

I think I've said this to one of my insurance friend b4: "I will buy if u need me to, not becos I want to. However, this will probably put our friendship on the line, cos u r making me do something I dun want..."

I don't like to add this, but that friend of my said, "As a friend, you should support me and buy a savings plan from me", and that was after I mentioned I already had 2 savings plans (and I really do have 2 plans)...

What I feel is that if you're a true friend, you wouldn't make me buy more savings plans than I really needed. Sometimes I wonder what the term "friends" mean to some people.
