Bo jio?

*If your sense of humor isn't as low as mine, do skip to the end for a better read (: *

You know hor, when you grow older, everyone also busy this busy that. Everybody work work work, bobian. Last time, midnight play soccer also need to take turn, cos too many people. But now, jio eat rice also hard.

Why leh?

Must be too busy working lor.

O rly?

When I was young hor, we see who missing from the outing, we will say, "wa lao eh, kelian leh him/her. Confirm is mother no let out lor."

But now hor, your mother still will control you go out no go out meh? Cannot be lar hor?

Last time, aiyoyo lao shi sibei hot sia. Liang xi mei also sibei hot sia. People call it what ar... Trend! Yar, trend!

Recently got a trend leh. My friends and I go out hor, then will have a lot of people keep saying, "Bo jio!". Damn paiseh sia, we go out, no jio them, not brother enough. Nevermind. Limpei's fault, cos i not brother enough. NEXT TIME! Limpei confirm guarantee chop jio you.

NEXT TIME come liao. Limpei jio you liao. But hor, you always bue sai make it leh! Sometimes is you already got activities. Sometimes is your friend last minute jio you. Sometimes is your sister give birth. Sometimes is your dog diarrhea.

Understandable lar!

1 time. 2 times. N times. How come always cannot one? Not enough people also a reason. Waaa, bue gum leh!! I never jio you, you say i bo jio. Limpei jio you, you knn sibei zuay excuse.

Limpei look like PIMP to you ar??? Invite you to our small gathering, you kpkb so few people. Don't need do anything then the outing will grow people out ar?? Nabei, you want zhar bor then ownself find lar. Do I look like human trafficker to you??

Wa lao eh, you also zi dong a bit lar. Mouth don't be so jian, talk talk talk den no action. Say this say that, in the end one pile of shiat come out. Limpei is talk loyalty, integrity and honesty 1. You don't have, then siam far far lar. Knn mouth keep running, you bue sian limpei also sian lar. Bo jio bo jio. Jio liao say not enough people. Still got all sort of cock stories. You think I primary school ar? Cannot differentiate is it? Nabei, eat so big liao, still so childish. Don't want den say don't want, act gu niang give so much crap. Be a man, do the right thing lor. Russell Peters also like that say lor.

This kind of people, how to trust?? Imagine limpei one day accident, need blood transfusion:

In the hospital...

Phua bei kia A: "Eh, you also here ar?"

Phua bei kia B: "Yar lor. He kana knocked down also bo jio."

Phua bei kia A: "So you going to donate blood to him or not?"

Phua bei kia B: "Dunno leh. Got how many people ar?"

Phua bei kia A: "3 only leh i think."

Phua bei kia B: "Huh? Only 3 ar?? Aiyo... then I think I don't want donate liao lar..."

Wa lao ehhhh, yao siu lor like that. I think I better go prepare a few more bags of blood in my fridge liao. Mai tu liao!!!

===================================================================

Everything written above is based on a real-life experience and is supposedly being portrayed in a comical way. I honestly don't feel angry with these people, but instead, feel disappointed and to a certain extent, pitiful for them.

I'm someone who takes promises very seriously. I can joke and fool around in casual situations, but when it comes to promises, I am dedicated to fulfilling them. Maybe that is why I expect people to do the same too.

I seriously don't mind anyone not joining upon invited. It's not as if our outing will be less fun without that particular person. It was out of respect and courtesy that we asked.

Maybe me and my friends have judged them wrongly, so if you're interested, you can develop your own view on the character mentioned below.

Character A

He would always say, "Go XXX leh". Yes, I used ALWAYS. He would also promised to organize some activities, which 98% of the times, ended up with nothing. No news, no followup. There was even once when he rejected me for prawning using a lame excuse, and guess what? When me and my friends reached the prawning area, we saw him with another group of friends. And of course, his group of friends has girls, mine are all guys.

Due to the bad experiences with him, I decided to leave him out of the loop for future outings. He would then say, "Bo jio!". Fine. We tried asking him out again. Not once, but multiple times. Again, we were being played. Still, he would give all sorts of lame excuses and act as if he did nothing wrong. He would view it as, "I just wasn't available, I didn't pangseh." He even made a promise to join us for 2011 countdown, where he joined his own friends in the end because we didn't have the numbers. Or perhaps, no girls.

====================================================================

There are still a couple more of them, but I shall not waste my effort on a write-up of their deeds. What we want to say is that, inviting you isn't because you are needed, it's because we are doing it out of respect and courtesy. It's because you are there at the right place at the right time.

We are not obliged to cater for you. It's only because we treasure true friendships that we go to great length to make things happen for you.

Remember this very clearly, we do not expect anything back for what we have done for people like you.

When you are whining over a couple of dollars, we are more than glad to pay up for you.

When you are whining about the lack of participants, trust me, we are crazily looking for people without you knowing or even lifting a finger.

When you are whining about having nothing to do, we do our best, as true friends, to make sure that we cook something up just for you.

When you are whining about how boring the outing is, we behave like clowns, putting our images at risk, just to put a smile on you.

Whenever you make an excuse, we feel that our intelligence has been insulted.

Whenever you make an irresponsible remark("Bo jio"), we feel cheated.

As a human being, why would you say "Bo jio" when you don't have the intention to go in the first place? Since even after inviting you, you refused to go.

It really seems like a low-blow, a pitiful act to gain sympathy from the rest. By doing so, don't you know that you are putting us in a bad light for something that isn't our fault? Do you think that it is fun to shift your own fault to others in order to make yourself look better?

If this is how you define friendship, it's heartbreaking. True friends deserve only the truth. Truth hurts for acquaintances, but it makes the bond between true friends that much stronger.
