My Best FRIEND Forever
Who have not heard this infamous line before? It's been repeated time and again in tons of chick flicks movies including my all time favorite and ridiculously funny "White Chicks".
There's even a reality series hosted by Paris Hilton, all in her quest to find her true BFF. What the big deal and how difficult can that be? If Paris Hilton can do it, so can you.
I would like to uncover and discover all my true BFF. True BFF can be as rare a diamonds but I would like to think of them not as sparkly as diamonds but rather as needles. They are extremely useful little tools, comes in different sizes, thickness, length, made of iron or stainless steel. But have you ever tried 'looking for a needle in the haystack' with your bare hands?
On the contrary, someone once told me I would always be alone, without friends as I was too insipid. I also don't have the money to flash around. Life hasn't been as rosy lately but GOD has been loving. Next to GOD, my ever loyal BFF is my mother. I am never ever tired of my mother being my true friend.
Sadly, Bane, a close friend warned me about the coming of friendship fatigue, where in future, friends will be tired of being friends. What a frightening aspect, no friends? So far, I have lost many but I have gain new ones who are giving me their time, support through my rough times. At the moment, I am on the journey only to find only genuine BFF. Recently, I received this saying from a friend where she said, "A friend is one who scatters compassion and all good wishes and not merely gathering everything for themselves while on earth."
YOU! Need not apply for the job of BFF if you don't qualify.
Thank you to all my BFF, I dedicate this to all of you:
Mahi, Bawany, Siti, Nabila, Pat, Karen, Puva, Latha, Miss Wong, David, the families at CLIC, all my doctors friends, the tutors, my wonderful cousin BigOne and my 'sister' Usha. For those I did not name, you can always come to my house while I am still here.

Guess what?
In our materialistic world, to be seen living it up, with a lavish lifestyle, designer clothing, flashy cars, dining at smoochy nightspot will guarantee a line of future BFFs, who think you have got all the right credentials. Not withstanding that you have mortgaged your house to pay for that sleek new car, that your 10 credit cards have been charged to the hilt and they have left countless messages in your brand new 4G IPhone. With this marketable image, you would have dozens queuing up to make it to your friendship list. On the other hand, these external features can hide a multitude of sins. It's hard to uncover the real them, wouldn't it? Everything on them is a facade made out of designer stuff and everything around them is a stage for them to perform. You might not know when they are faking it or when it's for real. BFF are 'dime a dozen'.Some of us who have tried may have experienced a prick here and there while doing it. On the contrary, those sensitive among us may even get a nasty infection from some rusty old needle. Old friends or new friends, they can be hazardous to our life. We need some kind of a 'metal detector' probably in our brain circuit to decipher what a true friend is. How could you recognized the true color or the worth of a true friend? For me, that challenge is liken to searching for a 'contact lens' in the haystack. Honestly, I have a friend whom I have never been able to guess the color of her eyes as she is always with color contact lenses. For that matter, not even her real hair color! Finding the real 'McCoy' can be a challenge for everyone.
Birth, death, divorce, are but a few of these occasions where either your true BFF or the fake ones will surface and chose to be by your side.
