Friends and Acquaintance...



1. Acquaintance, associate, companion, friend refer to a person with whom one is in contact.


An acquaintance is someone recognized by sight or someone known, though not intimately: a casual acquaintance.

An associate is a person who is often in one's company, usually because of some work, enterprise, or pursuit in common: a business associate.

A companion is a person who shares one's activities, fate, or condition: a traveling companion; companion in despair.

A friend is a person with whom one is on intimate terms and for whom one feels a warm affection: a trusted friend. 3. familiarity, awareness.

i just came back from lepaking with friends that i have long known each other...as we talked...i realise that we didn't really know each other very well during our study times....and we knew each other from other friends who we were close with....and as years goes by we became friends...and one of them even became "substitute bestie"(statement gilaberanimati)...

as we talk about some things...and some things that were unknown to me...and suddenly i don't know why i got a little upset after knowing...and as i drove home alone...i really realize that it bothered me...until i thought of doing things eg. unfriend dari FB (lame joke...) no lah...not that extreme......!

don't get me wrong i did enjoy my nite out tonite...but just i was a little upset of some things about other "people"....

and i start to think who are my acquaintance? associate? companion? and Friend....in my mind i sorted names....and wish life was like FB where you can sort people....where you can even block..hide and even restrict....and sometimes stalk...but as time goes by...i believe that certain people have certain preference...certain people have different ways...and different asumptions....and to this point i am telling myself to grow up and let not be little things put me down...now i know why the phrase "ambil yg jernih buang yg keruh" comes around....

heartnote:i realise i have a small heart when it comes to being a friend...but i wish to have a big heart to stay a loyal friend......

jen: kan, memang ada benda yang better kita tidak tau kn? better left unknown..

i tried to simplify the 'strangers' around me into "friend" and "colleagues" category. FRIEND dibahagi lg: close, trusted friend, friend to huhahahahaha.
