I just came back from tuition. Haha.. Its a bloody hot weather and it makes my blood boil when my tuition kid gave me nonesense such as spelling "went" as "when"! Omg. This is the thousandth time I tell him "went" is the past tense of "go". Threw books in his face, gave him a good scolding and pretended nothing happened and continued with the lesson. Haha... I am a lousy tutor. Who cares? Its the money I want.

Talking about money, yesterday I was chatting with Linda and she told me "No money, no honey." I think this is so true. Haha... Money is very important in life. Although, we have to recognise that there are many other things that are equally important in life like love, kinship, friendship, we cannot deny that money is not important. When your parents know that you earn 3000 a month and you only give them 500 a month, they grumble that you are not as filial as Ah Kow's son who gave his parents 1000 a month when his monthly income is also 3000. I know this is a lousy example, but at times, money hurts kinship in a way. When you have no money you lose more than you gain. Its reality. I know its abit extreme to think like that but if you think harder and you have seen how money tear families and relatives apart, you will know what I mean.

Having said that, although money is important it is also not something that can keep a person going. Friendship is important to everyone. Friends give you support, care and concern. They keep you going. They motivate and influence you to take another step forward. But friends won't stay if you do not spend effort maintaining a friendship. When you don't even bother about that person, don't even talk to him/her, don't even bother to catch up once in a while, sooner or later he/she leaves you. So don't complain you have no friends when you don't bother about them in the first place. On the other hand, some people try too hard. They try to be friends with people who do not want to be friends with them. It takes 2 hands to clap. So don't be silly, if that person doesn't want to be friends with you, he/she will not be friends with you. Possible reasons are different interests, different train of thoughts or simply cannot click. Don't try too hard. Move on. I am sure we can all find friends who really care about us. Although most of the time we meet the so called "friends" who really do not bother about us unless they need our help, but there are true friends that will keep us going. Just put in the effort and you will have more true friends who help you even when you are not in need and give you more than what you expect when you are in need of them. =]
