Moving on... I got a call yesterday from a long time friend (another secondary school friend, hah) and I was thrilled at first when she said she wanted to meet up until she confessed her hidden agenda, the real reason for wanting to meet up with me.
Now, I personally - and I'm sure everybody else - hate this kinda thing.
I was, of course, slightly disappointed cos she wasn't sincere to begin with. And I was turned off by that fact. Sure, I mean this is the time when "friends" mattered right? Before that, you didn't even bother to keep in contact and now suddenly, you miss us? Yadda, yadda, yadda... please just cut the crap.
I understand it's part of your job but that's not the way to do it. I rather you come straight to the point instead of going around the bush, misusing and abusing friendship to get to it. Ah, sickening.
Worse still, some even use donations as part of their scheme! I've come across this one ok, and I was damn pissed that I told her off immediately. Blardy hell. I probably shouldn't disclose the identity of that supposed leading group. I'm sure the Great Easterners won't like it.
Sometimes, being nice just doesn't get the message across to their heads. And I, for one, don't like to be pestered.
Well anyway, take care everybody. It's the season to be sick now so raise your Vitamin C intake to boost your immune system.
