when i went back home for CNY earlier this year i was shocked (but not unexpectedly) on an event. One of my buddy hang out with me at Gurney Plaza. We plan to chill out on that night, but at around 5 pm, his gf called up asking him to get back to Bukit Mertajam to buy dinner for her ill mom.
I asked him, "are you sure that you want to rush all the way back just to buy dinner for her mom, inspite your gf can drive an owns a car?"
He said,"yes."
I said nothing. What else can i say. In Hokkien, it's called "ooi chi mong kok"... but i never really thought that a close fren who meet only once in a long while could just dump me at Gurney Plaza all alone and rush back to the gf's "aid". Whats wrong with the world?
If we were to meet up oftenly, i dont mind him going back to "ta pow" dinner for his mom-in-law to be, but come on, we meet only once in a year.
I have no choice but to really doubt whether his actions justifiable or not.
