Have been hearing so much about Stephanie's new song Ni Guang lately.(That includes you Jon).Anyway after so long,I finally got my lazy ass off the chair(not literally of course) and checked it out on Youtube.
First Play - Hmm....kinda boring and repeative song.Though the music is VERY her.Nice location for an MTV though.
Second Play - Hmm.... some strange sort of way.The song starts to take shape in my brain.I dunno what the hell that means but basically I think I began to get the feel for the song.
Third Play - Hmm....I was wondering why the MTV looked so dejavu-ish and suddenly I realised that her Feng Zheng MTV kinda gives the same feel as well.
Fourth Play - Hmm.....I actually played it mor than 3 times.Guess I'm starting to like the song.Either that or I just have no idea what song to listen to next.Well.Whatever.
Fifth Play - Ermm....Enough said ba.The song's cool!
Anyway.Many thoughts were running through my mind when I was listening to the song so probably I just didn't wanna bother changing the song.Which was a good thing because I realised that this song,unlike most songs which people will "Yi Jian Zhong Qing" with,needs to be listened to several times before you will begin to appreciate it.
That aside though.I think recent events have really made me realised just how superficial the word "friends" is nowadays."Besties"."Brothers"."Buddies."Clique".Whatever you call it.Well.Some of you may argue that no,you're wrong,there is true friendship in this world,and that you're saying that just because you're a miserable fucker without any real friends.
Ok.Whatever ba.So what if I am now.But let me tell you this.I had good friends.And I still do.I've lost friends.And I've gained them back before.Which is why all the more I can reassure myself that my theory right.In the end.There is still the undeniable fact everyone are friends for three things.
Convenience.
Company.
Benefits.
When a group of people enjoys a similar activity e.g. drinking,karaoke or clubbing.They can meet up week after week after week just to do the same thing.Even if it is absolutely repeative.And then,everyone will become so called buddies or whatever.But as we all know.Human beings get bored easily.And after a while, some people will begin drifting away.And these people will be labled as "betrayer" "bang seh" "buay sui" or whatever.Most probably getting condemned or bad mouthed.
But the stange thing in the end is that.The group evenually still breaks up.Irony?
No.Human nature.
Convenience.
When everyone likes that and I do too.I dun mind joining them.But when I don't.It's time to leave.
People on the verge of breakup,just broken up or has just suffered a rejection, or simply just single.They like to meet up and talk about their problems with their "brothers" or "buddies" or go out for drinking,clubbing or other activities together.They may do this week after week after week without fail.But once they get attached or get back together with their ex or is busy with dating..They begin to neglect the group and start meeting up with them lesser and lesser,sometimes not because they want to or ahve a choice.Again they become condemned like the people above.Being lablled various names like "chee hong" "got girl no brother" etc.Anyway this obviously applies to girls as well.
Again.We see human nature here.
We all hate being lonely.We need company.In whatever form it comes in.
Before:Haiz.No girlfriend le.So lonely and sian.Think I call them out pei me.
After:Haiz.If I go out she sure not happy de.Think I sms them tell them I can't make it.
People always appear to be so perfect online.Beautiful,good looking,rich,stylish,intelligent,happening.You can become any of these when you're online.Just edit your picture with Adobe a little or a lot,add a little flowery lanaguage or bombastic words to your profile.And just wait.Definitely there'll be "fishes" attracted to you.And thus people become good friends,buddies brothers or maybe even have relationships close to real life couples online.But in the end.Nobody is as perfect as what they appear to be online.So,I guess most ppl will arleady be able to guess what happens when good friends online eventually meet up in real life.Basically reality hits them and they dun really last.Nobody enjoys the company of ugly,fat or poor people.This is a sad fact of life and will always be true.Maybe you're not that realistic a person and you wun mind being friends with such ppl.But how about being them becoming your other half?Or your "clique".I'm sure most of you would hesitate about that.
As usual.Human nature.
Benefits.
I got something to gain from them.I don't mind being friends with them.If I got nothing to gain..maybe just "KIV" or entertain them for now ba.They'll probably become useful later on.
........
Hmm...call me a bastard but I really think think that is how the world works.There are no eternal enemies,or forever friends(cliche i know).There are only people who give us the three things above and people who do not.Hmmm..Anyway think I rambled enough.Time to go back to work.Later.:P
