Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!!
Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of "Donkeys" in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too.
Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance.
Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and sometimes even to the extend of embarrasing. She would always be the last person on earth I'll ever go to shopping with, and apparently few of my friends totally agree with me.
There was this once when she went to shop for a lipstick (and luckily I wasn't around at that time). She tried every single sample in the shop. The promoters as usual came to assist her with my friend standing beside suggesting the most suitable tone for her lips. This friend of mine a.k.a. The Donkey, has never ever buy any beauty products in her life hence the knowledge of putting up make-ups is far beyond her reach. While my friend and the promoters are trying real hard to teach her tips and stuffs, she just play along.
After hours (I'm not exaggerating, trust me..) of trying out samples, the other friend got fed up and even walked out to get a drink; she finally made her decision. The verdict: She bought a lipstick that she haven't even try yet (coz the shop are out of samples), based on her instinct(that's what she said) and the colour which she think was "cute". The other friend told me that the expressions on the promoters are far beyond description. They were simply speechless.
This Donkey somehow happens to be my coursemate for 3 years in uni. Apart from being annoying and embarassing sometimes, she never left me out when I'm in trouble.
She's the one who woke me up by climbing into my room (my room was on the 2nd floor) after she failed to wake me up thru phone (she even suggested to my neighbours that I might commit suicide, just to get the permission to climb in from their house, GOD!!!).
She's the one who'll keep me accompany to study through midnight (although it's always certain that she'll be sleep first).
She's the one who took care of me when I'm having Chicken Pox, she even cooked porridge for me (that's really touching...)
She'll 'tapau' (means buying food) dinner for me when I'm too busy rushing on my assignments last minutes (and she never forget that I only eat meat without their bones attached, or else i'll rather be vegetarian)..
and... lastly She's the first friend I made the moment I stepped into uni.
She's just the nicest and definitely the most naive person I've ever met in my life. Too many memories of uni life that includes her. She might be annoying sometimes , might even be embarrasing sometimes, but she's a good friend whom I treasured so much that I couldn't imagine how my life will be without her during those years. I owed you alot, Donkey.
Almost all of us have a donkey or two in our life. They may be a headache or a pain in the ass sometimes but their patience and sincerity is something that can never be matched. For this, I'm dedicating this blog to you friend. Wish you well and all the best!
I think I'm missing my Donkey very much now..
