Who are your friends

April 21, 2008 | By bokjae | In Memes, Relationships 

Over the week-end, I was over joy to have the opportunity to meet someone in person whom I met online, through blogging! I am sure as a parent, we would be warning our daughters especially, about doing such things! Heard too many stories where young innocent girls were lured into trouble by such encounters. I guess at my age there is nothing to worry about! hahaha!

I can understand the excitement one goes through such an encounter. By the way, I am referring to my great buddy Kuan Hoong who just returned to Malaysia after a 4 year stinge in Nagoya Japan doing his Ph. D. Since he loves One-ton Mee so I took him and another blogger friend Franco to this place in Kepong where I used to favourite some 8 years ago! What I noticed was the feeling of meeting a long lost friend! there were no ice to break and we just chat on and on like old friends! In short, we had a wonderful meal, time and we agree to meet again as often as we can!

What a Blessing! only just two weeks ago I met with Doris and Kess and their families and now Franco and Kuan Hoong!

For those who have not met these great bloggers and friends, visit them and get to know some great people! By way of introduction I share a brief about them:-

Doris is my ‘guru’ and also a sister-in-Christ who introduced me into blogging and I learnt many valuable lessons and tips from her. She hosts a few blogs and I love her Shoping Blog where there are so many unique things for women!

Kess is a wonderful lovable doggie! She can tell you many doggie stories and her own life story with her human parents! They just got back from Bangkok.

Franco is another of my ‘guru’ who hosts a blog ebiz university! A great place to learn many things about building money making websites!

Last but not least my great blogging buddy KuanHoong and another of my ‘guru’ who shares on SEO and Internet Technology things!

I remember a one line quote about friends! It goes like this :-

Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

    Friends are very important part of our life other than our family & relatives. Real friends are hard to find and there are they for you all the times through good and bad times. Great to know that you meet some real friends thru blogging. Hope to meet up with you someday :)

    Thanks jasmine for your kind words! Read something today from a successful blogger who said that having 2000 plus friends or fans yet not knowing them in person! I guess blogging changes the way how we meet and make friends now!
