              Alright, we all have friends right? Everybody at least needs somebody in their life. Besides parents, girlfriends, boyfriends we do need friends. Since I traveled a lot when i was a child, childhood memory remains in my mind. I do appreciate what I had gone through, the people that I have met, and also the emotional situation when we have to say “good bye”. I learn a lot, new environment new culture, new location, and definitely new friends.First I think it is disaster, I hate it very much. But later, especially now I think it is great, it is wonderful, it is valuable experience.

              For me, it is easy to make new friends, it is easy to say “hello” or “hai” to strangers, but the most critical part is how we want to maintain our friendship, how we are going to make our friendship last forever, trust me. It was hard. It was difficult. “A friend in need is a friend in deed” it is the wonderful proverb that I always convince myself that I should always be polite, kind, generous, understanding to my friends. I try my best to “be there” to my beloved friends, always lend my hand to my friends if the have problem, I have to be a good listener to them, keep their secrets, and sometimes give suggestion, advice on how to solve their problem.

             If we are housemates, or even roommates, (yeah, this is for my girl friends) we share a lot more stuff. We share foods, shoes, cloths and sometimes we share bed. We sleep together, have a morning cit cat together and hang out together.

 Thus, I really appreciate my friendship; I want to make my friendship long lasting. I’ll work hard to make it happen and I wish my friends would think in the same way too. I have several expectations on how my friendship matters might be in the future. My expectations is more or less like this,

 

-      My life partner likes my friends, and my friends like my partner. Win-  win situation. Comfort Zone. Easy. Because, for happy life I need both!

 

-      I hope that my boyfriend, or husband will understand and agree that I still need by friends even though I am in relationship or married. (In future for sure).

 

-      I want my life partner give me some space for ONLY me + friends.

 

-      Husband, Please do not get jealous easily with me, I just want to have fun, spending my life with my friends, or buddy for a WHILE. Rather than spending 25 hours with you ALONE!

 

-      My friendships are long lasting, we still hang out together, have a great cit cat, doesn’t matter men, or women. My best buddy.

 

-      I admired the quality of friendship from the serial drama that I had watched, One Tree Hill. Ahaks! Wonderful friendship, great personal life.

 

-      I have a great girls friend, good listener, secrete keeper, problem helper, yeah I really appreciate my girl’s talk moment!

 

-      I admired the friendship that “Desperate Housewives” have too.

 

-      I hope that my friends and I will exchange visits, and continuously for the rest of my life.

 

-      Sometimes, I want to go to the vacation, with my girls’ friend. (I admit, If want to go with my boy friends or a men friends. Husband must follow me! Agreed! That why I said “girls friend”. Great huh! Campus life DEJAVU.

  

      Hurm. That is more or less what I have expected. What I want in my friendship would be. Is it impossible?  Am I asking too much? Definitely not! I don’t think so. I think, with a great partner who understand me, will soon understand why I made this kind of expectation. Why not?

      Huge house, Imported Cars, Branded Cloths, Homemade Handbags, Cash Money, Great Jobs, or even a masculine husband will not ensure that I will be the happiest woman in this world. As usual, people sometimes will not easily satisfy with what they have. At least for now, I know what I want. Wonderful Friendship!
