The Haze is Gone!!!

Somehow, the wind blew the haze away from Klang Valley. I can breathe again! I never thought of feeling so happy seeing the sun.

Thank God that the baby is not very affected by the Haze. He coughed a bit and runny nose at nights, which I think is good to protect the dust from getting into his little nostrils.

Enuff about the Haze. Let's talk about friend in need and friend in dire need.

Once, my hubby was in need of borrowing something from a friend, B. He drove all the way to B's office, got lost a few times, and finally, when the car is parked at the basement, B said that he forgot to bring the item to the office. A day after, B didn't pick up the cellphone to indicate when is he available. We have to postpone a few activities during the weekend so that my husband can get hold of B just to borrow that thing.

Last weekend, B called to borrow something from my husband, instead. We were about to leave the house. Azmady said that he'll leave that thing in front of the mailbox. We left and came back that night seeing that the item is taken. Without even a text message to thank, not even a phone call to say thank you.

Have you ever had a friend like that?

The one who will call you in the middle of night to get something from you?

Then never was there when you were in need of something from him/her?

Lemme see whether I had one.

There was this guy friend who called me up in the middle of the night to go to the police station and bail him out. It was 3. 00 a.m. and I gotta drag my roomate for they needed another person to bail the girlfriend out.

When I was doing a project between my department and his, he sometimes didn't pick up the phone when I need to talk to him. He didn't submit to me things that he was supposed to submit. Once, he literally raised his voice over the phone when I repeatedly asked for the items.
I kept the anger inside. Never said anything about that 3.00 a.m. bail out thing. For me, I did wake up at 3.00 a.m. answering his call just because he is my friend, not because I want something out of him (the project idea was never existed during that distress call).

I feel conned. What value was a friend to him?

Then a few months later he needed someones to be there at the court. He called me and had the gut to expect me taking the half day leave to be there at the court. It was not my intention to pay back what he has done but I really had something going on that day.

He never call me, again.
