I am not looking for short term friends that comes and go, I'm looking for reliable ones. The ones that stick with you through thick and thin.

People befriending me because I can get them iPhones , and only because of that, those are not type I'm looking for.

I'm just sad that someone accused me of being an Alpha-Male to guys here, and that gives the impression that people befriended me only because I'm the route to their iPhones.

Makes you realise who your real friends are.

Come on la, biasa la dorang ckp camtu..... semua tu tanda jeles. Org nak kawan dia kawan, kalau tak nak blah jer. Aku kat opis camtu jugak. Ada yg kawan kita kerana ada sebab, kat blakang kutuk. Dan kawan yg ikhlas, kekadang x suka komplen direct, kena pulak hal2 yg boleh dimaafkan. thumbup.gif

String,

No point feeling sad because of someone accusation, only yourself and all of us will know that we can be kawan-kawan, not just because you helped us getting the phone, but it's mainly because we have a common interest as well like hanging out at Lowyat.net (gadget freak tongue.gif ), passion in Apple products, always trying to help others etc.

For me it is simple, people can accused me of anything they want but I will just be myself and don't care a damn thing icon_rolleyes.gif , even though sometimes the accusation towards me is quite true rclxm9.gif

Cheer up!!

huh ? Did I miss something ?
I have a rough time with Internet lately, slow like hell.

Wat "Alpha-Male" ? Sorry for my poor english...

Well string bro... I'm not quite sure what is going on for now (will check details when really got time to surf when I'm off duty).
Anyhow, sometimes other people's comments we can't actually take them all, sure there is good and bad as different people have different perspective.
Just ignore those comments that make you feel unpleasant, and take those that you think will make you a BETTER person. This is at least what I think of, when comes to "attacking".

In real life, we can't run away from other people try to take advantages from another, but that is really a BAD + LOW QUALITY personality one owned. That is why sometimes it is so hard to get trusted and reliable friends... We just have to 'watch out' always when comes to picking friends.

Not choice, some people just can't be the REAL of themselves.
I just hope that it won't bother you too much on this matter.
Life is really short... Most importantly, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, by then
we have nothing to lose....

Cheers out icon_rolleyes.gif

Alpha-Male = You ikut cakap saya, ikut apa saya suruh buat.

Am I really that kind of person? Did I ask anyone to do anything for me?

Like friends, I've no idea what happened or took place in the last 12hrs but AFAIK I don't see U as an Alpha-Male. Do not let those 'hasut-ers' [oK... i meant those people who 'hasut'] get to U. It's impossible to please everyone around here; as long as Ur conscience is clear who cares what others think biggrin.gif

And I too befriended U long before the iPhone Tumpang came into the picture tongue.gif You certainly can add me onto ur true friend list ! smile.gif

Thanks for the explanation.
Well we can't do much if someone tries to make it so "political" (pls DO NOT !)
Another politic like PKR vs. BN ??

We have enough with what we have right now in Malaysia politics.
String bro, time will prove everything. Just IGNORE those idioltic people.

I am not even politically inclined, but I am vocal against unfair treatment. Especially when it involves a moderator with power on the loose.

By the way,

The end result. Why am I not surprised?

I agree. Just ignore it. You know who is worth your while and who is not. No point wasting time and energy on the people who bring negative elements into your life. We can't please everyone.

IMO, alpha male is not such a bad description to have. Alpha males are called so because people trust them in certain situations to provide leadership. Genuinely caring for other people (aka selflessly helping others to get iPhone 3G's tongue.gif and dispensing free advice) is an alpha male trait.

However with that label or not, we will affect others around us with our behaviour. They can either choose to selectively emulate our qualities for self improvisation or simply become sheep who blindly follow. It is not the case of "I say, you follow". We don't have direct power over such decisions made by external parties. We can try to influence them to think for themselves but ultimately the power to decide is still in their hands. If we don't want any of this to deal with, we should just shut up and put ourselves into a bubble...which I don't think very highly of a person because it is a backward move.


Added on August 23, 2008, 11:35 am@louismhc > Btw...I hear from one of my friends about the iPhone 3G launch in Singapore. Lucky you. Apparently the Singtel contract is very affordable. Shame they don't sell the unlocked version but I am told by my friend (customer service rep) that they are being trained to answer questions like "If I move to a different country, say Malaysia, can I still use my iPhone?" tongue.gif I'm still trying to get more info on this since I was only told briefly last night. *just finished reading the sg thread... so we Malaysians have to get around the contract problem... anyways OT here...

Cool, another acquaintance in Singapore.smile.gif I have very close friends, whom I consider family already, living in Tampines. Known them since '98 during my crazy chatting days, and they opened up their hearts and house for me, I'm truly grateful. Yes, Singaporean are a kiasu lot, but beneath that experior, they are a caring people as well.

Id rather not "say anything", and I certainly dont want anyone anyone to "follow what I say". Leaders hold too much of a responsibility to their followers and I do not want that responsibility. That is why I am still the guy on the right infront of the bus, rather than the guy on the left. At least I can jump ship second last. tongue.gif laugh.gif
