Life is a journey of discovering true friends.

We all go through ups and downs.. Every friend will rejoice and celebrate with us when we are up. But how many will be there when we truly need help?

As I grow older and go through experiences in life, I've learnt to differentiate who are my mentors, acquaintances, seasonal friends, 猪朋狗友, true friends etc. It caused me to think a lot. Some friends are just so nice and willing to go the extra mile. While others just think about their own comfort. This caused me to reflect on myself. Have I been a true friend to others? It also taught me to be wise to invest my time on those who deserve my time and attention. And during this season where so many of my friends are getting married, I can only say, wedding is a time that shows how much you have sown into the lives of others.

And sometimes, it's just so sad to realise that some friends are not who we think they are. Well, I may not be who you think I am too. As the chinese saying goes: 路遥知马力,日久见人心.

Forgive me, if I've not been a true friend to you IF I'm supposed to. We reap what we sow. This applies to me too. It always takes 2 hands to clap. Unless you "clap" on your face or thighs or whichever part of your body.

And to all my friends out there, I'm sorry that I will not have the means to get Christmas gifts for everyone this year. I will be prosperous next year and it's coming soon!!!
