Rina & Myself waiting in line at Gwen's Concert in 2007It's often said that good men are hard to come by these days. Heck, I've learned that good people are hard to come by, let alone men themselves! Whoosh! But "good" in this context simply mean their honesty, trust-worthiness, sincerity, courtesy, etc. Not to confuse "good" with "kind". Most of us in this world are kind in one way or another. Most of us don't commit crime. Well, the major ones of course. Everyone commits some sort of a crime, depending on the situation. Hehe.
Anyways, I met Rina back in December 2006, when I was training to be one of the Xfresh Street Surfers (an on-ground promotional team for Xfresh FM). She had then been working as a Surfer for a year or two. She was doing it part-time, as she was also studying in Lim Kok Wing College. She's 26 this year. A year older me. She left maybe 3 or 4 months after I joined because she wanted to concentrate on her final year (not because she couldn't stand me, thank God! Hehe).
We had lotsa fun as colleagues. We eventually became friends. We became closer after she'd graduated and now she's a writer for Astro's in-house magazine, InTrend. She covers fashion. Yep, she's quite fashionable but in quite a subtle way. I love her because she, to me is one of those who's always so thoughtful of everyone. I have always thanked Allah that even though I don't have many friends that I can really hang out with, I still have a friend like her. She hasn't done anything to insult our friendship (so far). I really hope it stays that way.
For some reason, I've been pretty unfortunate when it comes to friendship. I dunno why, but I guess as long as you have a friend or two that you can lean on, it's more than something to be appreciative of.
But then again, my good relationship with Rina may not last forever (but I really really hope it will!) because experience has taught me not to expect good relationships to last. People tend to do things to you without realising that they are scarring the relationship that you both share. Apologies are pretty hard to come by these days too.
