I believe, one can make hundreds of thousands of friends, but there's only some will become someone we closed with, a few would be our best friends, and a small number out of it would and will become the friend that stays long in our lives. Well, at least that's the case for me right now. As it is today, I believe to be that friend, it requires them to be (if possible) all these 5 criteria.
1 - Count on me as i count on you too
It is the basic and the most simple rule, be the one that I can depend on too. I mean, whenever a trouble comes, they won't be the person who always say "I'm sorry I can't" situation but instead something like "I will try my best no matter what" situation. Well, I can be there for anyone under any situation, why wouldn't you?
My situation: Well, there are times where they ask for my help such as there's one asking me to go all the way to Kampar and fetch him back to Teluk Intan. Oh well.... :O
2 - Be able to hang out anytime
When I mean anytime, I do mean anytime on any day (given that you are already 'adult' of course). And we should and could hang out like without any curfew. I might just call you out of sudden and ask "Jom mamak?" or say "Lepak", and you shall never say NO - according to the Bros Code. :) And we must be able to talk on any topic, make any stupid argument in the group and be just us, how cool is that?
My situation: Haha, some fellow will call me late in the night and say "Oi I'm outside, come now and go mamak" Oh well..... :O
3 - Always together no matter how or what
Let me explain in any meaning, which is, we can have road trip to anywhere, stay overnight at one's house, or just anything, even it means everyone is busy after or before that. Shouldn't that be the main point we are hanging out together at first place?
My situation: I went to a friend's place at Kuala Lumpur and then called another guy to come all the way from somewhere far. Remember that one shall never say no? :P
4 - Distance is not and will not be a problem
Nowadays it is about technology and with technology, it connects us to anyone around the world. We can travel, we can use the internet, not forgetting the phone too. Perhaps everyone is busy with their life after leaving high school, but I don't think anyone should simply let the chance of meeting slips away easily. Whenever there's a chance (such as Chinese New Year) why don't just go out and have fun. Or make some time and travel to them. :)
My situation: They don't have time to come back then I go to them, problem solved.
5 - Simply never say NO
I've mention this earlier. As Barney (How I Met Your Mother) said in the show, the Bro will always say yes to anything. Although sometimes it is quite hard to be done, out of our league to get involve, but the word "YES" should come out as support. :P
My situation: Last minute mamak? Ok. Last minute futsal? Ok. Last minute 'fong fei kei'? WTF!!! Although I did ffk sometimes. :P
