BEING NICE DOES NOT OFTEN END WELL

Lately I have received alot of requests asking me to organise a hike, or to lead one. Of course I would try my best and always set a date for them. I remember particularly one girl who always says she can only hike on public holiday or sunday. So when I did arrange according to her need and when the day came, she had the most unacceptable excuse.saying she a run on that day or they had a holiday plan on that day. I mean you made the request, didnt you marked your calender?  So now I have to be very careful and would not go all the way just to please some people. If they wants a favour they should meet my schedule and not the other way round.
Of course not all request are unreasonable. For instances I have people asking me to take down some photos which they say did not show their best side. I could not see any flaws on the photos, but since they insisted, I complied. I even had a guy saying the photo showed him with a missing tooth. That's understandable and I removed it without question.
So from these stories you can see, I will do what is necessary if  I request such request. But if I have not been informed and you get upset and put the blame on me, then it is not been fair to me.
Don't you agreed. Sometimes what I deem right might not be to you. So let me know.  Of course I will take some care in order not to embarrasse anyone. I have the best intention in mind whenever I shared something, particulary those that are closed to my hearts and bring special memory to me.
So do let me know so that I can do what is right, I do value your friendship. Please don't cut me off.Thank you guys for the memories and all the best wishes for the coming year.
Lesson learnt: It doesnt pay to be nice. Not everyone appreciate it.

WE DIDN'T KISSED BUT WE DID MAKE UP.

Remember my friend who drove like a F1 driver?  She did message me both on my cell as well as  my inbox on facebook. But I totally ignored  them. A few days later she did message me on WhatsApps  , this time I did response to her query, albeit  with some what  lukewarm response . I was trying to avoid any kind of meeting if I could avoid it, however yesterday morning she call up asking if I will be available in the afternoon to join her on a hike at a nearby hill in kulai. I told her I could not as I need to fetch my son back from work. It was a genuine excuse.  She volunteer to fetch me from the factory where my son work once I leave my car there. She had me cornered; there is no escaping now , so I agreed to her proposal.
Then another call from her informing me she was approaching kulai, but it was raining  and she asked if it was the same  in kulai to which I replied  No. She also enquired if we should proceed with our hike should it rain?. I said why not ? Since she had make an effort to come all the way from Johor Baru, it will be unfair to disappoint her. As a seasoned hiker we always had our poncho handy.
Finally she reached the factory , I handed over my car key to my son and I hopped into her car and make our way to  the Hill.  We hike for an hour or so as the sky was getting dark, and it was almost dinner time ,so we made our way downhill.   I suggested we have dinner and invited my son to join us. She wanted to foot the bill, but I would not hear of it, lest it be misconstruted our friendship was renewed over a meal. Further more this was my turf and she was a guest so it was not right for her to pay. Yes, we  finally make up but minus the kissing part.
