Bro, u the only 1 i know who can tahan that.....
Thanks Captain. Actually i don't mind doing it, just one incident really did hurt me. (rain/black face was all still ok)
A bro from US moved to SG and asked to use my mailing address as well as to be his local contact for MOM/ICA purposes,
i gamely put my name down. I drove him, his gf then(now wife) and even mother around whenever they are in town. One time
was too last minute so i didn't get to wash my car, his mother was a bit upset at the exterior dirtiness of my car but then again
cars in US don't really get washed a whole lot (still guilty of that as too used to religiously maintaining the innards)
Even for other mail correspondance, i gladly used my SG address for him. Only stopped short when he wanted to use my address for his bank/loans etc. He got upset that i politely said no and from then on, very little contact. It became such that i was the only one keeping in touch, etc.
Got ignored basically from then on even though now he still uses my home for his forwarding address as well as still his
primary MOM contact (who still call me on and off) In the past, he asked me about his gf and i told him the new one he got
was a keeper. He later got married (didn't invite me though i would have gladly flown to SF if he did invite me), then bought
condo in SG, had kids, etc.
Monthly calls became quarterly, then yearly. Kind of really hurt but then after a while, quietly accepted it. Asked him many many
times to come to JB but he never did. Now that he got promoted, even colder. Even though we are supposed to be friends, he will
ask me many times, loudly whenever he sees me, how come he seldom see me.
One time, a colleague got upset on my behalf and retorted back loudly, thats because you are in office even much lesser then he is. Lucky for me, got another good bro who really is a good friend, recently when i had emergency, was very touched that he helped me out. My family and wife knows i have a very independant streak so the only times i will ever ever ask for help is when situation is really dire.
