We may not study the same thing, we may not know each other very long, however we've been through trying times to adapt to the new environment for where we are as a group. I shall label that person "L" in accordance to looser. L came to the new environment with a group of friends. That group stayed together as a team, solve problems as a team, and most importantly have fun as a team. We were from the same apartment, therefore we have light moments and fun time together as a team. Nine (9) of us in a team. We helped each other, cook with each other. We took care of everyones' well being, after all we're in a foreign land. Well... , that was 6 months ago, until three (3) of the members decided to switch their accommodation. A huge chunk was taken away from that group. I'm a nocturnal person. I do not initiate happenings. I build up the happenings, in another way, I'm a 'supporter'. A perfect group consist of well balance amount of 'initiators' and 'supporters'. I'm a 'supporter'. Out of the three who shifted out, two were the main 'initiators' of this team. Hence the large chunk was bitten off. What was left was an imbalance amount between 'initiators' and 'supporters'. And so we move on. Do what we do as usual as a team. The three people did return from time to time to become temporary 'initiators'. However the happenings are no longer as rampant as before. L begin to find it insecure to be within a dysfunctional team. We still imitate dinners at my floor. We still invite everyone who still lives in the same place to occasions. we still plan and execute trips to the city or to some other occasions. We still live happily as a team despite the imbalance amount. We are still having fun. Of course whenever a change occurs there will be some dissatisfaction among the group. L unfortunately was the one. L begin joining other groups especially those from L's course mates. Whenever we ask her out, she gives invalid reasons (i.e. homework, assignments, reports during semester breaks as well). There was a total cut of of communication between the group with L. L was ditching a crumbling group that was trying very hard to sustain afloat. Other members may think L is just being busy. I beg to differ as I smell the act of betrayal within the ranks that was once strong and tightly knitted. Other groups may think lightly but I have NO respect for betrayers. We've been though as a team, regardless of what L should have, as the chinese says; give face to us. There was total immediate cut of communication. Hours ago, I told one of the team members that I want to test run the depth of the water with L. We planned to have a movie night downstairs. I called L, and the reply was "I'm doing quiz, cannot go". Hmph! A quiz in the beginning of a freaking one (1) week semester break?!! I ask my member and he said, quizzes are normally held at the end of a week, which i think should be around friday last week, prior to the start of the holiday. I smell betrayal. I dislike betrayers greatly. There will be a wind that would one day shift the favour to our side. This wind will deal a crippling blow on people of such attitude. Loyalty was heavily compromise. In fact we had a really long chat that night. A friend told me, L hates to be mock even in joking environment. L had told something to my friend. Whatever it is, the loyalty betweent the group had been compromise. I will remember this moment, dear L. I'm very pissed off with such attitude of a person i used to consider as a friend. You know who you are, people reading this perhaps know who you are. It definitely would not be a fun time ahead. I leave no stones unturn. Your's is my next stone.

I smell the act of betrayal
There are many different people living in this world. How different one may ask? Short, tall, intelligent, perut buncit, and etc. This makes the world a wonderful place to be but also a very sadistic place. There are people whom we met are very 'kacang lupakan kulit' as said by Esther Ng, my best friend from uni first year till now. The can totally turn a blind eye towards people whom had help bring them to what they are of today. Yet they show no gratitude. Of course its obvious the person is a friend of mine, that is if its still a friend. Let me share with you a story which i find it to be pretty hilarious but at the same time pretty pathetic.
