Loans and Friends.

Which is more important to you? Money or friendship/relationship?

Throughout my life, I have given some loans to my friends and relatives from time to time. I am not a rich person, thus the reason I am giving my view on this matter.

From my personal experience, only 30% of the loans taken by my friends/relatives are paid back to me. This put me in a very grave position as financial is concern.

I come to a conclusion that whenever a friend/relative ask for a loan, whatever the amount, I will ask myself, how much am I willing/I can afford to GIVE them? Thus I will give that amount and nothing more. So when they did not pay, I do not really feel the pain.

Lately my life is getting better. I am loosing none of my friends/relatives.

Marking Territory.

I was having breakfast the other day. Ordered "hot lemon" and "Tosai". Sat at a corner, waiting for the order.

I was actually bored, caused I can't surf or read my mail on my blackberry as the battery was nearly flat. So I was actually looking around that "Mamak" restaurant. My mind wandering. Ermm... Not so clean. A little bit efficient. The usual.

Suddenly thru the corner of my eyes, I noticed a cat walking by the payment counter. Something normal, have seen that scene so many times before. Nothing special.

Then suddenly, as the cat was passing by the bread stacks it peed!

It was actually marking it's territory!

Now suddenly I dont feel like eating bread for sometime. In fact my mind is thinking what else or where else does cats peed? Never mind.....
