simple sad.

I am currently based in Menara Standard Chartered, KL for a 3 week training on investment products such as bonds, shares, unit trust and bank assurance;

I take the public transport to KL. From Puchong, I drive to Asia Jaya. I take the LRT to Dang Wangi. from Dang Wangi, I take the Bukit nanas monorail to Raja Chulan. Yes, its a bit of a hassle, but it definitely beats the KL traffic during peak hours.

This morning, I bump into a friend I knew since my Pre-U days in Asia Jaya station.

I was rather happy to see her and looked forward to catching up with her, I mean..she was the the first person I went clubbing with! she and her popular friends exposed me to a whole new world! one which i did not experience in highschool (since I was excluded from the ‘happening crowd’…meh)

But anyways…

We made small talks; and the train came.
We got in together.
All the seats were taken but one, she went over and sat there.
Awkward moment for me as I was thinking “I should stand over there too, and continue our conversation right?”..

NO!

she picked up her book, and started reading it… completely ignoring me.

I felt sad lar!
coz maybe all this while, when I categorized her as one of my ‘happening’ friend; she saw me as the ‘not-so-happening’ acquaintance.

Its a simple sad, because there is not much i can do or want to do to save whatever ‘relationship’ we had.
If i were to be honest, there wasn’t really a genuine friendship between us in the first place.

How easy it is, for us to lose touch completely and lose a friend entirely if no one made the effort.
and More importantly, how superficial it is, to have made friends without the authentic connections.
