Few months ago …Clicking on friendster, I accepted a friend request from an unknown guy.
A guy who never met me before
But I accepted his friendship because he’s a SGM member. ( I know, bias right? )
Our friendship blooms over the weeks
At first constant calls at night, both ways
Then the calls died down and the smses were not pouring in much either
We agree no hook up or any funny business
He was the one I call when I’m in distress
But he’s not the one I can sms and expect a reply
Instead he constantly and frequently sends forwarded good night smses to me every other night, without fail. Before he sleeps
Of course I got a bit pissed that he doesn’t sms a reply
Fine, he dun bother about me.. he don’t care
I got the chance to meet him after my performance on Merdeka day.
So I finally see him in person, we get along just fine.
Even if we saw each other for 10 minutes.
The forwarded smses keep coming in
I was frustrated that he just forwards messages to me
Until one night..
“ what u doing?”“ out yum cha with other member. Why you not sleeping yet?”“ oh, yum cha with friend. Other than that le?”“ thinking of you”“ why you think of me ?”
“ I dunno. I think of you everyday”
Then it hit me.
It’s not that he doesn’t care and don’t bother about me.
He had shown me that he does care.
I was in his thoughts constantly
If not, would he even bother sending me sms, even forwarded one?
At least he had remembered to forward to me.
Tonight he called again
Without fail, his calls make me smile.
Kien Lee, thank you for your friendship.
All those times when I call and whine and wept and complain and rant, you never judge me. Instead you spare a little time to accompany me and make me laugh. You say things that give me hope again and you make me feel like you will never leave. You always ask me to chant and do my prayers, give me guidance.
Who knows friendster can bring a guardian angel?
