What's important to you?

Today has lent me an additional realization as to who claims to be there for you, doesn't mean the person will be.

Someone once offered me unconditional help with my work. 
When I contemplated taking up the offer albeit teasingly, he decided he had just finished his exams and wasn't up for helping me with research. But I didn't take offense because it's my work for a reason, I don't expect him to really & I shouldn't get him to help me.

Today,my taiwanese idol, Wilber Pan is in Singapore and there's a meet and greet session. I'd give anything to be there. Knowing that full well, my friend has offered to plough through my work with me, just so I can reach my deadline for the day and scurry off to meet my idol with me. I never even asked for his help. He too has just finished exams & is just out of hospital. Probably has more things on his mind than computer games and iron man.

Friends that know you, know what some if these prepubescent crushes mean to you.
These are the friends that remind you that being a social butterfly isn't all that bad, because they're aren't just here in the high times, but will look you up even if your stuff really isn't a matter of life and death.

Thank you kind friend.(:

By the way, I was also invited to another concert event today; to see Psy. Yes while tantalizing, the invitation was hardly a proper one. The person shows you 2 tickets (via whatsapp) and you're supposed to assume that you've been invited...? Especially with the person's track record of flaunting his social life in your face & his multiple "you-should-be-honored-by-my-presence-because-I-have-no-lack-of-suitors/company" quips.

The arrogance in the latter invitation is too high, too uncomfortable, too unreal. Perhaps when you're human & feeling again the vibe you give off might be different.

Nothing beats the good ol' down-to-earth company of old friends.
