` THE RALLY `
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
had a old boys meet last nite, and wow, we havent met for like 3 years? my 2 buds C and D where so, so different! C was a rich guy gone broke, back then, his arrogance was ..... unexplainable and now, he's so down to earth, having a normal job, trying to settle down etc.... C was someone i looked up to and wanted to be, rich, successful, without the arrogance part, but part of me too wanted to be like D, D on the other hand had a pretty rough life, i remember the days when he was so broke and kept borrowing money to go out with his girlfriend, and i used to tell him that he couldnt manage between friends and a R/S, it seems that he really loved his gf, and spent most of the time with her. they were really close and everyone was realli envious, however, when i met him yesterday, i jokingly asked, hey where's ur girl, and his response was, how i know? from someone who was so loving and paid so much attention to his partner, someone kind and humble, became someone i felt so disgusted with, after talking more with each other, i realize that he "made it big", with age and his current salary, no wonder he's so boastful. He never did realize that his words, actions, character changed, he still thinks that he's somehow normal, when probed further, he said that "aiya, my gf sticks to me now, no need to chase already, gotten already, she's like a Fu*k toy to me now. i cant be bothered. oh my god.. i couldnt believe my ears. seriously for all those friends who wasnt there yesterday who knew D, they would prob die of shock! D was someone who will never say such things. its amazing on how a small success in finances and social status totally change some people. back then, he was loving and both gf and him were saving hard, striving, him having a broken family and a father who is always wanting to take money from him and the gf had to support this "need" or he will get beaten by the father is now a "toy" to him. i realize its when people get higher pay, higher status and they unknowingly neglect their partner, the partner that has worked hard and saved with them, suffered together, splitted the pay slip to ensure that both had enough for the month, i really sympathize with the girl. back then, they did everything together, so loving etc, but now, he leaves her alone and she's always trying to get some attention. their situation at home would be him messing ard with some form of electronic gadgets, and she being lonely in the room and having nothing to do... he has this hobby which we all guys found weird, nature walks is wad we call it, he enjoys site seeing at places with greenery or beaches, or waterfalls/botanic gardens etc... and the only time they ever spend together nowadays is at these places where he just stands there and stares at trees etc, and she stands ard, not enjoying it, getting bitten by mosquitoes and hardly even get to talk to him.... and wow, he even got the cheek to say such things, but 1 thing we both notice was the aura was different, he turned very arrogant and everything was about dollars and cents. i couldnt believe such a drastic change happen in like 3 years. well, to every success story of a guy, lies a suffering women at the back. sad, lonely, neglected..... oh well, i hope it doesnt happen to me... gtg ! blogging off...
