A friend said this to me before (paraphrased) - my friend is convicted by God that I will receive unconditional friendship whether or not I give that friendship.
And trust me - I really got that unconditional friendship.
Unknowingly, in all of my friendships thereafter, I make a decision that I will strive to give unconditional friendship and not expect anything. Well, of course, it's hard not to have expectations. It's very human to want something when they have given something. So it's really a personal choice and decision. But I feel that when I made that decision, it's harder to get hurt.
Today, just as I was wondering about this thing called Friendshp, I received a sms from the same friend - The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his Friendship (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Hmm... Friendship is really a tricky thing. When you find a friend whom you can really call friend, treasure it. Least that's what I strive to do.
ANYWAY, good news good news..
My friend told me that the client love the design of the wine hampers that I did so hee.. I think we may have gotten the deal! Really praise God because the "ling gan" (inspiration) came to me only last night and woah.. when God is in charge, I completed it in 2 hours!
Okie okie.. Time to find food to settle my growling stomach! Nights!!
