Woiiii! Can you not massacre the old man's work like that? ;)
Haaa,...mintak ampun, mintak ampun,...:)
ohh yeah ray...
there's alway little thing in life that we may never realize that it will never come back again..Something like time!
Even uttering the word..boring! may seem not the rite word whenever we do not have anything to do..coz eventually the time that passed will the b most impossible thing to gain back..
I lost a friendship ray..a friend that i knew for about 4 years but it seems that i knew her inside-out...over a slight misunderstanding..she backed away from me..
I always wish that i could turn back the time n never made that mistake..been more than 6 years now..still miss her badly!
but i guess this experience will be my teacher.

Sorry to hear about what happened with your friend. :( Yes, lost friendships can hurt.
In another context, I can asbolutely relate.
My first 7-year romantic relationship ended because of a fitnah of a loved one, and my brash reaction to it.
From a scathing and angry e-mail written by me from the UK, while my girlfriend was in KL. The love realtionship of my life, ended when I was just 24.
And I spent the next four years, recovering from losing my first love.
The loved one has passed on now. And I think somewhere along the way, I've learnt to forgive her for that "fitnah".
She meant well - maternal instincts are always good-intentioned, even if sometimes, misplaced.
But I don't blame anyone but myself. I got angry because I believed the fitnah, without even asking my girlfriend, for the truth of the matter.
I only found out the truth, 4 months later. By then, it was too late. The damage had been done. Lina was not mine anymore and certain things are beyond her forgiveness.
But yes, the painful lesson has remained with me.
I almost never angry on the spot, nowadays and I always double-check on the truth, regardless of how close the person who told me the story is.
Our family members don't always tell us the truth - just like us, they're biased, human and flawed.
And sometimes, non-family members don't necessarily love us any less unconditionally.
If you're lucky, good judgement will guide you, in knowing the difference.
If you're unlucky, the bitter experience of significant events in one's life and paying the price, are great teachers for the future.
Chin up, Shud. Yes, there will be always be the odd one or two regrets, but big mistakes always make us better people, if we learn from it.
hey ya ray..
thank you for sharing your story..
when u told me to chin up, actually i was almost couldn't bear the pain i'm going through losing her ..see how bad broken friendship can lead u to..
i was traumatized for the 1st two years..keep dreaming bout her each nite..believing that she would come back to me n mend the broken part..it was so unbearable n i keep comparing her to each of my fren..which is difficult for me to replace her..
but then i found solace..n try to think again ..n keeping peace with my heart by telling that if she really want to mend it, she would just have to call me..
past 6 years i waited ..no call came.. i learn my lesson ray..
n each day..i cherish each of my friend..
Shud:
Some things are just like the ombak that A. Samad Said described - it will only touch your life, once.
And it's best to cherish that moment, because there are many others that have never even felt it.
