Through the years, I have become very selective about the company of friends I keep. I won't hang out with anyone who likes to :-
* put people down;
* brag about themselves;
* whine, whine,whine non-stop;
* gossip about common friends;
* dig for details about my personal life;
* argue for the sake of arguing;
* impose their opinions on me
Yupz, that means I won't have many social outings but hey, why do I have to suffer a couple of hours in such obnoxious and negating company? I'd rather read a thriller, surf the internet, have non-confrontational debates in sgF

, watch DVDs, listen to music and/or spend time ONLY with family members or those friends who are of the same channel as me.
As we live in a heavily populated country city, it is unavoidable to meet people lah. It is our choice mah, to develop a deeper friendship with those who are wu liao or not. We cannot change people's idiosyncracies, characters and behaviour but we can put a stop to how far we want to know them better.
After all, we switch tv channels when we don't particularly like a programme or a show that's on right?
