Social-lies

Last night, i attended a function held by the Singapore's Poultry Merchants Assocciation with my father. I was seated beside a Dr Wong, head of something something from the AVA and the rest of the table was filled with unknown big shots of Singapore's poultry industry. It felt awkward at first but soon, we started talking. We talked about the singapore education system, national service and who was taking over who. Glasses were filled and the "uncles" just needed to see if they were still young at heart so they decided to drink with me. Most of the times when they talked to me, i couldnt really hear them or understand them but i still would manage to keep my smile on and do the once in a while nodding. Then i thought, wow, this is socialising. I seem to have done it before.

Yes, if we thought about it, our lives has nearly been about socialising with anyone and everyone. Friends are merely called friends because you see them more oftenly. How many of the people you call friends actually care for you? They will know you for years but you will just realise they don't understand you at all. You are just people that meet oftenly to gossip and chat about current issues. So how do you differentiate the people who socialise with you and those who really are your friends? Well, friends are the people who are real, tell you the truth and would always be there for you. Let's end social-lies.
