I am upset..

I just lost a fifteen yr old friendship... and in a absurd way..

Scenario:

XX have asked me to join him on a trip to KL for a convention that he was going to be recognised for, he's in the MLM business.. so the convention is some recognition thingy... I had to reject cos I had to do some family matters.. then he shoved me some book and asked me to read it.. this rich dad and poor dad book... ok.. so no matter how DL then just read...

Three weeks later..

He asks if we could meet up for him to take back the book.. ok.. so meet up on labour day morning.. and had breakfast... then was talking about his job and he says his management were unhappy with his performance... so might not be carrying on with him.. he's in the biomedical industry... so i asked him, so what's next.. and guess what he tells me.. i wanna be a taxi driver.. but u got to be above 30, so i dun wanna waste time waiting, so might just find a menial job to do... and mind u ppl, an overseas grad from australia coming back with a specialised degree and tell me he decides to be a taxi driver!!

So next we moves on to his love life.. suddenly he tells me, i'm not getting married... i dun want a girl who always needs me to be around, needs me to send her home and needs to be pampered.. i want somebody independent.. so unless i finish medical school, i'm not gonna bothered.. at that point, i already thought he was crazy.. which girl dun like to be pampered?

after this, he drops the bomb.. anyway, this will be the last time i'm seeing u.. there is this convention in july in KL and if u miss it again, this will be the last u see of me.. of course i'm shocked.. excuse me, i'm human also... then he goes on saying, i need ppl who can help me in the business and knows what i am doing.. not just tell me, oh you can do it, go do it... he doesn't need those kind of support... oh fine... save it then... so i told him straight in the face, this will be the last time u're seeing me.. i got up and left.. he stopped me halfway, and said look, this is not what i meant, i really need to have my circle of friends who can help me.. i ignored him and left... after that i msg him.. " you have made me seen the worst of the business, thanks. you're not worthy of my friendship" he replied with some quote from helen keller... and i told him.." dun tell me all these quotes, not all are born as heartless as you"

Conclusion:

I dunno what they teach him at the company that changed him so drastically... neither do i quite care... i have seen ppl who excel at this kind of networking thingy and they have all sorts of friends, cos u never know who will call you for a business sometime down the road... you burn all your bridges and you are gonna only be an island by yourself... good luck to this friend or rather ex-friend of mine who chooses who he wants to be in business with and shuts the door on ppl who dun see the potential in the business.. someday if u think back and realises that you have lost friends and nobody is by your side, blame yourself.. friends are there for you not only becos they serve a purpose like giving you contacts but to provide support and a listening ear.. if you cannot even fulfil that as a friend, you dun deserve any friendship..
