I posted this question on my facebook status a while back when something provoked the though, and didn’t really expect any comments… But I got some, and because I found them interesting (and didn’t want to lose them), here they are. :) Thanks you guys! If you’re shyyyy, tell me and I’ll take down your comment.

Jin Lin: frens r really frens when they r wit u when u nid them, to cheer u up,to make u happy when u r sad,to be there when u r happy..n many many more..lol…. :) ..true frens r the best!!

Mui Yit: friends are really friends when they know the pretty and not so pretty things about you and still love you for who you are.

Neil: According to the 10 Commandments, friends can all be summed up in one phrase “Love thy neighbour as thyself”. Friends should be everywhere…I have found that we spend too much time in our own “circle of comfort”, and do not branch out to others who might need someone to feel welcomed and accepted by. I believe that it is our duty as Christians to extend a hand in friendship to everyone.

Thomas: Friends don’t abandon you for the library :)

Darren: Some laugh along when you’re happy.

Some sit around you when you’re sad.

what people need sometimes is not always that little talk; because telling someone not to worry has to be the most irresponsible thing one can say; nobody can choose whether to worry or not.

but when you look right into their eyes and ask for help, that is the true test for …  Read Morefriendship because;
1. most people make excuses saying that they cant help. These are also the people that laugh with you when you’re happy.
2. some look away and leave you in the dark and tell you not to worry.

1 and 2 are acquaintances.

3. They’ll put their heads under the knife to go all out to help you, and if they can’t they’ll find channels to seek help for you. That, is when friends are really friends. I only know of 5 such person to date; the rest are either acquaintances or have yet to be tested. So how many of your friends, are really friends hmm? :)

Joel: Friends are friends when you choose to believe they are.

Patrick: Friends are everywhere, but true Friends are ppl who u give them power to hurt u, but trust them not to…

John Wee: Friends are friends when they have chicken with them. Yum~!

As for me, friends are really friends when you know no matter what you’ve done to them (or they to you), you can still kick back together–crying, laughing, screaming, sharing, and loving. When you can roll your eyes at each others’ outrageous comments/dumbness. When you can talk about (almost) absolutely everything together–while keeping it exclusively in the “imaginary car” LOL. And it’s cool.

So, what do you think? :) Drop me a line.
