Definition of Friend

What is the definition of friend?

According to the dictionary friend means a person whom one knows well and is fond of.It also means a supporter or a sympathizer.

In my opinion, friend can be anyone.Even strangers that you talk to on the street are considered as friends.As long as they don't harm you.

It is not exactly that when you know a person well, he/she is known as a friend.For instance, we tend to accept people that we do not know as a friend in a social network.Hence people we may not know well can be known as a friend too.

Well, I couldn't define friend properly but I do think that friends are divided into several groups.

Normal Friends

This is the group of people that you know and you barely talks to them.The most common things to say are hi and byes.This group of people normally consists of school mates or colleagues from different department.

Close Friends

This is the group of people that you currently hang out with.You tend to meet up with this group of people most of the time.This group of people normally consists of class mates or colleagues.Hence these make this group of people close to you.

During my schooling time in Form 6, I do have a few close friends.They are Pei Ji, Teck Aun, Wei Boon and Wei Voon.

Pei Ji
a.k.a. The Sister
I used to think that I am blur.However when I get to know her well, surprisingly I found that she is the blurest person you can ever find in this universe.Aside from the blurriness, I would say that she is a nice person.She tend to help you when you are in need.Well,why is she known as the sister?It is because both our characteristics are quite alike.

Teck Aun
a.k.a. The Information Counter
I strongly agree with Pei Ji that Teck Aun is like an aunty that is always looking for mega sales.However this character of his always come in handy.He always manage to get the best bargains in town.One do not need to flip through the paper or the internet to look for warehouse sales or any promotional event.A simple call to Teck Aun will provide you to the most accurate answers.Apart from his auntiness, he is also a really nice guy that is always willing to help.During my schooling time in Form 6, he was always willing to give me a ride to school.Besides that he is a considerate person.He thinks for the others.A forgiving person too.

Wei Boon
a.k.a. The Gifted One
He has hidden talents that you wouldn't know until you get to know Wei Boon.Hence I would like to describe him as the gifted one.Apart from this I would say that he is really good in Business Study.He is like a photostat machine.When asked a question about business study, he can provide you with the exact answer from the book.He is also another nice person that never fail to give you a hand when you are in need.He is also known as Wei Voon's Big Brother.

Wei Voon
a.k.a. The Fearsome One
She has this talent for talking none stop.When her engine is started you will never find the end of it.Furthermore, don't look down at this lady.When you accidentally step on her tail, prepare to runaway before she finds your tail.She is as vicious as a wolf.Her moves are agile.One step slower you are gone.However, she has her positive side.She is also another person that is always willing to help.Why is Wei Boon her Big Brother if asked?Well their names rhyme when both names are call upon.Besides that both BOON & VOON have similar characteristics.They love keeping things to themselves.

Mentor Mentee Friends

This is the group of people that you know through a mentor mentee system.What is a mentor mentee system if asked?It is a system which a senior teach a junior the well being of the institution/clubs/society and so on.I have two mentor mentee friends.They are Michelle and Ethan.

Used to Know Friends

This is the group of people you used to know.As time goes by, you get to know them a little better.It normally happens when one was in the same company/school with the other that they know at first, then one was transfered to the same department/class with the other.Hence one know the other a little better.You would get to know this group of friends through certain event too.

Better Friends

This is the group of people that you may trust.You do not need to hesitate to call them when you are in need.You are sure that these friends of yours will definitely help you no matter what!They will definitely forgive you although you are in fault.I would say there wouldn't be a lot of better friends around.If you do have one, make sure the friendship last.I do have a better friend.He is Wei Keong.A friend I knew since Year One.

Wei Keong
a.k.a. The Cockroach
I get to know him better during Form One.Although I knew him since Year One, but we never enter the same class after that.We were in a different class since Year Two.I recalled that he was the one that influenced me to listen to good musics.The first album he introduced me to listen to was JJ Lim's first solo album.Since then I started to listen to musics all day long.He is also a forgiving person.Not to forget a VERY generous person.A friend that used to hang out together very often.I am busy nowadays, will see you soon.

Best Friend

I couldn't define best friend because I think it is rare if one have a best friend.In my opinion the best you can get is a better friend.

Perfect Friends

Although there isn't any best friend around but I must say that you will always have the perfect friends with you.They will always be at your side no matter what happens.They will always forgive you no matter how big is your mistake.No matter what the obstacles is, they will always be at your side, supporting/encouraging/advising you to overcome every single obstacles.These friends of yours are of cause your precious family.

It is true that there isn't any best friend around but there is always your family.You can never be afraid to share your sadness with your family.They will definitely cheer you up.They will always be the best forgiver.They always try to correct you by forgetting your previous mistakes.Your family will always be at your side when you need someone to talk too.They will listen patiently and give you proper advice.They will be together with you no matter what you have been through.They will be sad the day you left home.Cherish the time being with your family.
