Sepertinya sebuah janji bukan sekadar hutang yang perlu dilunasi, tetapi terkandung jaminan kepastian yang menimbulkan harapan bagi insan.

Menepati janji adalah cerminan kedewasaan hati dan pikiran. Maka ada petua bijak yg bilang “jangan berjanji jika tak sanggup menepati.”

Manusia tak ada yg sempurna, ada yg lebih penting dari sekadar menepati atau tidak menepati janji, iaitu kejujuran hati, berani mengakui kesalahan, dan meminta maaf. Sekarang perlu akan penilainan,…dari 100% janji dan harapan yang ditebarkan, berapa % sebenarnya yang sanggup orang lakukan untuk menepatinya dan berapa % yang sanggup kita wujudkan. Hanya waktu yang akan menempa dan mengujinya.

Do you believe promises are made to be broken??.... well... this is not the first time that people break their promise to me... Well, i've also broken my promises before... but being stood up by ur "supposedly" "GOOD FRIEND" really sucks BIG TIME!!!!......... If its once or twice, it can be forgiven......... but its more than that!!!.......... kalau orang utara tuh panggil those kind of people "PAKU LONGGAR".... which literally means, person who cant keep their promise................

Critanya lagu nih... adalah sorang kawan mek nih... di dok kat utara nun... He's my childhood friend.. pergi skolah sama2..... blajaq sama2.... melachur sama2.. * whopssst... tak pernah uolsss*... and he is the only one of my friend from childhood that i still keep in constant touch with...
NOW, he's a successful Doctor in one of the government Hospital.....

Kekdahnya, walaupun we constantly call each other to updates whats happening in our lives, due to reasons such as distance, susah bebenor nak jumpa... the last time i met him, was during Raya 2 years ago... tuh pun just happen that i went back balik kampung to visits relatives and we happen to spend the night at the local motel there...

He does come to K.L once in a while.... but the timing is never good for us... however, this time around, he was here with his "HUSBAND" attending a course .... the place is really near to my place and im totally ecstatic to be able to lepak2 with him and for me to get to know his "HUSBAND" better since i met him once only.. tuh pun tak sempat kenal2 sangat.. only know his name jerr..... Hence, i suggested that we meet at night when he finishes off his course.. The first nioght, he said that he's too tired... Second nite,.. his reasons were that he had exams which he has to study.. so i flipped out instantly.. but he PROMISED that he will meet me today (THURS 13/03/2008) after work at KLCC........

Suddenly, i got his SMS saying that he had to go back urgently due to some family emergency.. well.... i'd be lying if i said that i didnt c it coming lah.... im just upset that for all the years that i know him, memang dia pun ada sedikit "paku longgar" itew.....but i just kept one eye close jer lah kan... dah kawan-kawan.... tapi tak sangka pulak terbawak-bawak sampai dah jadi Doctor bagai kannnnn.... so mek tgh SENTAP nih!!!!

I dont want to get angry or be upset over this... it takes too much effort to dwell into this... *mak tak koser dah!!*.... i knew that this is coming but this time, its too much....Its only normal for me to be angry and where else to vent my anger if not kat my beloved blog nih kan....... !!

So, moral of the story is, if there is a possibility that u can't deliver your promises, then, don't promise kannnnnnn!!


p.s: untuk sesiapa yang berkenaan, memanglah, waktu susah, baru nak ingat kat aku... waktu senang, ader tak nak ingat kat aku...ADO??.... NON ADO!!!

Dah lah... mak tak kisah nyehh. asalkan aku tak menyusahkan saper2 cukuplah .. tak githooo??
