"It's like if you really wanna build relationships, you need to spend time by investing into people's lives. It takes a lot of time."
(Phang Li Ern, 2007)
Darlings on both sides. True friendships, blessings from heaven.
Today's lunch was a blessing to me, just to be able to spend time with you both.

On the other note, I believe it doesn't only take up time, but effort and energy too.
What do we get in return, sacrifice after sacrifices trying to build a closer friendship?
I'm not bragging as if I'm a good friend. I'm not a good friend, I admit.
But what if A is the only who does all the approaching work, the one who starts a conversation all the time, the one who offer to do anything for B so that B is blessed, try to find time to meet up with B to hear B out etc?
B may be unaware of what A have been doing but I'm sure B can do more?
It could be not his/her norm to be the "approacher" but there's a first time for everything, right?
Ego, it could be.
Laziness, it could be.
Or more of, "I'm-not-bothered" kinda attitude..
... but hey, friendship is not a one way thing!
I thank God for friends. I really do.
So people, start appreciating your friends around you. You may not realize how much you mean to them and vice versa.
I, myself am not there yet. Still in the process of learning, come join me!
I care, I love all of you just because He first loved me =)
