My answers continue :
"Will you be able to forgive a friend who cheats on you (like cheat you money, cheat your trust) or betrays you?"
Then was this question. If you are cheated by the friend you trust most, how would you feel? Devastated/heart broken/disappointed. I felt betrayed. A friend (primary -> secondary school) i know for 8 yrs betrayed me. Actually is not betray as in movie where I need to get revenge on that but betray as in not believing me as a friend. But this betrayal turns disappointment as I had lost one good friend for not believing a friend (me).
The story goes like this, he got into trouble with the authority over illegal biking (he no license) and need to pay summone (supposedly) to a policeman. He called my home and asked me to help him, He had only RM150 at that time and the policeman wants RM300. I rode my modified BMX to the place he told me and lend him the money. We settles the case and my friend was let off by the police.
My friend told me he will give me back my money a.s.a.p. I said its ok, just pay me when he have it. Since we are not in the same school, I had not seen him for a week. So on weekend we always have a match of football and I did not see him there. As a concern friend I just make a call to his home. No one answers. (year 1993)
Later I found out he and his family had moved to somewhere else. As a friend I did not think a mere RM150 would be a big deal for someone to cheat so at that time I just assume his family have some problems and need to get away or moved. He never called to tell me his whereabouts, he never call to say happy chinese new year, he never calls on my birthday. For me, I never had a change to greets him happy deepavali, no chance to say 'gong xi fa cai', no change for me to say happy new year. **
A few yrs later (5yrs to be exact) I saw him in pasific! The same haircut, the same posture, the same walk. He ... was my friend! I greets him by his name. He was shocked to see me. He was with his gf. We had a few chats and I did not have to chance to invite him for coffee. He said he was in a rush to go 'somewhere'. Hey, RM150 is not a big deal. I can give it to you. But why scare of a friend who treats you as his best-friend?
That was the year of 1998 and I had not seen him again since.

**His mom is chinese and father is hindus. If I remember correctly his grand father is bugis. In other words (bad chinese words but this is fact) he is "杂种"~~!!

Steve, lost one friend (maybe), but you have many buddy here, chill out man, Life is full of surprise !!
Yeah... We still have lots of friends around our life. Just the friend we keeping in touch had us busy for whole week if we meet a bunch of them everyday.
Just that once the friend I trusted had me so down until now. But on the other hand as you said, there's still a lot of buddies for us to keep touch with. Hope to see you all this week then.
Have a great day all!
Hey guys and ladies calm down and be optimistic.
Who know that your friend might already forget about the incidents? As mentioned, it’s has been a few year back.
It could be only some misunderstanding. You might receive some feedback if you could get him sit down together for the gathering.
