Needing a space to rant
This coming wkend, some exschoolmates and i were supposed to have a roadtrip. I was totally looking forward to it since we'd agreed to it several weeks back. Unfortunately the key players bailed out last Friday mostly due to work commitments. The thing is, sincerity is not always clearly noticed and it just irks me the way some ppl bail out with really shallow excuses. Especially the way the bail out was done nonchalantly by one of the gang. That one person's go or no go that is the fine line between making this trip work or not. I'm annoyed at this one person the most for the attitude this person took towards this trip although we got the commitment weeks ago. Annoyed because to me this person expected me to do everything and it felt like that the bail out was because this person was just not impressed by my efforts. Bah! Impressed?! Sheesh. I'm not your slave, dammit. I'm also annoyed at myself for not defining the rules and what is expected of whom, and for assuming this person whom i've known for a long time would know how to act like a friend instead of a <enter word here>. Sigh. Mismatched expectations ruins yet another situation.
So there goes my birthday roadtrip. I'm annoyed and disappointed, all in one bundle. I was really looking forward to spending time with these ppl coz i've not been as close with them in recent years. I guess i should've known to plan this roadtrip with a different bunch of friends who are a little closer. Oh well, once bitten, twice shy, i'll prolly not wanna consider roadtrip with this group again (heh, who knows, maybe they too think the same abt me). At least i've learnt something from this experience so it's not a total waste.
Meanwhile, since i've declined all other invites and plans for the wkend coz of this roadtrip tht isnt gonna happen, looks like i've got just days to fill up my wkend schedule. It's just disappointing to know I just can't depend on some people i counted as friends. I wish things were different.

anyhow..i do respect that you guys still keep in touch with each other..it's been a long while since i last met any of the georgians..except a few during my wedding..huhu
@newlifenewbeginning - yeah it's just feels so frustratring and "geram" when it happens, but in the end no point dwelling on it, right? :) haha you know, this bunch, not even georgians, these are ppl from my primary school days! actually i only keep in touch with few ppl from both my primary school and sggs, so i also totally respect those who manage to keep in touch with most of their old friends. it's tough!!
@Jess - thanks, jess. it means lots that our holiday gang doesn't do this sorta lousy bail-outs :) i shall post abt our trips.... soon!
