I'm just a man. Through the snow, through the pouring rain?

Hi all, first things first, I'd like to say that our blog has to be updated.. frequently. So, we have, devised a plan, somewhat, to keep this blog active. Hopefully this pulls through. From this week onwards, I, or whoever who wants to, will be posting up random realistic scenarios of life that will ultimately end with a mind boggling question, weekly if possible. Feel free to answer them as you see fit and as to how you would really react in real life.

Scenario :
You have a best friend, close, very very close... like.. well you get the point. Lets forget about that friend for awhile. So, its your 3rd annual anniversary day and you decide to take your partner out for dinner and whatever event you might have planned for that day.
However, your partner tells you that he/she cannot make it, due to some emergency. Disappointed but being the understanding lover that you are, you decide to not push it and call your best friend out, but to no avail. The next day, your best friend calls you out to go yum cha, so you go yum cha. He/She says he needs to stop by Lotus for awhile cause Lotus is the best. Anyway, he/she gets out and asks you to wait for awhile, you start getting restless and start fidgeting around in his/her car(in the event that he/she picked you up). So you play around whatever, then...... you glanced past the back seat for awhile.... at the corner of your eye... you see some...lingerie/boxers underneath the drivers seat. Surprised, you think to yourself.. mahem got chick/hunk whatever never tell me.. okay.. so you get up to get a closer look.. and then you kinda recognize the underwear. Oh.. so.. yeahh thats my girl/boy friends underwear. You put 2 and 2 together, you know for a fact that something happened the night before and you confront your best... friend. He confesses that he slept with your partner. What would you do? Would it be easier for you to forgive your best friend .. or your girl friend?

*note: assuming that this best friend is the same best friend throughout the story.
*P.S. - I do not mean to offend anyone with this, solely for entertainment purposes.

A better picture:

That is your girlfriends room and I am your best friend.

Please do comment/answer at the bottom if you feel like it. Everyones welcomed.
Oh, basis of the question courtesy of another friend... I wasnt feeling well.. in that picture.. at that time.. okay..?

I like this post. Your arms were so skinny then.

Who is the "we" you're referring to?

Who did you device this plan with?

I believe it has potential to be nothing short of brilliant. If everybody cooperates.

About the scenario :

Firstly, I do hope this is fictional as I can't imagine someone close to me or anyone in our circle to go through something like that.

Anyway when I was back, this subject was greatly discussed, if not debated.

In an ideal world.. For the girl,
she would hope to keep both and hope that you should be understanding enough to accept that she and your best friend might be happier together...

BUT GUESS WHAT BITCH!?

That ain't gonna happen. Never will. It's just not human nature to forgive and forget these kinda things you know?

The girl, would be discarded first (depends on how you're into her), without question. Which brings me to the best friend, what was he thinking? No I'm not asking what was he thinking WHILE he was pounding my girlfriend but what was he thinking ALL this while? How could something like this cross his head in the first place. I just simply cannot imagine.

So in a nutshell, to answer your question, I would sit them down and hear their story first.

Then I'll ask the questions.

Was it something I did that caused this behaviour?

Did she use me to get to him all this while?

These questions are important, as I believe, like the joker said, that you really get to know a person, who they truly are.. When they are at their worst.

I need to get the story straight first.

Then I'll pull the fucking trigger.

nice post..

out with the 2 of them.. if they have the conscience to do that.. they're not worth it.. the girl should know better than to do your best friend and the guy should know better than to do your girlfriend. if they both have the heart to do it, they're not worth it.. they should've thought of the consequences before they did it.. its overrrrrr.. for me, total isolation from both.. well thats just me

i dont know la shaun, i havent been into these kind of situation. i'll be too shock to think.
maybe i'll sleep with her for one last time for good ol' sake and then we'll see where it takes me.
for the best friend, most likely i wouldnt talk to him for a while, but after that it'll be okay
BUT it doesnt mean u guys can sleep with my gf next time. hahah

i'll start singing breath by breaking benjamin. THEN, isolate them just like how Ken would. no point. not worth my time at all.

I still could remember that night Shaun ahaha. Me, you, king and was it fazil? sleeping in that room hahah good times, good times.

Anyway, the girlfriend and the boyfriend are lost hopes. You never mentioned how the bestfriend and girlfriend would react though. It depends if they were sorry and it was a one timer (depending on how much you are willing to forgive) or they probably couldn't care less about their scandal.

Either way, as matured as i think i should be, this is not something to be tolerated or compromised. I may forgive, but i will never forget. So that changes everything, move on with my life.

I can be quite bitter haha

being sorry or not, i would say they should've thought of the consequences before they did it..

yes ben it was me you king, and shaun.

hahaha.

and chee hau cried that night.

btw, ken.. i think yammy is gonna
ass-bang you soon.

Personally, for me.. the girls gone. No matter the reason. As for my best friend... you are my best friend.. you'll always be my friend.. but of course.. things will never be the same.. but definitely.. forgiven..

yup.

It'll be tough at first.. but I'll get over it. More to life.

Hoho... i actually know Someone who can relate to this pretty well..

Anyways,
it is hard to imagine how 2 particular individuals could put someone that they care for so very much (or so they say) thru something as excruciating as this.. but then again, it's a doggie dog world out there(literally).

As for me, it is pretty obvious that it takes 2 to tango, so both are equally at fault. However, despite the fact that IT happened, if they really had the prerogative to be called your bestfriend & girlfriend then there shall be room for an explanation to see if logically, it may have been somethin i have done to trigger such a demeaning act(like wtf were they thinking lar).(i believe most of us are on the same page on this one)

To forgive or not, comes after. Like Ben said, it depends very much on the individual, how much he/she is willing to forgive.. After all those years of trust and love for one and other, countless amount of joy and memorable events that you've been thru together, is it really possible to wish em all away overnight???

To those of you who are dear to me, i'm sure u already have an idea of who this "someone" is or may be.

I guess all i'm saying is, as hard and as unimaginable the scenario may seem, there are bigger things out there. In spite of everything that has happened over the past one year, especially when our beloved brother Andrew Yap passed on, it was just.. so clear that it just aint worth a damn. There's so much more to life, so much more in this bond that we share worth living for and we dont need the telling twice.

Looking back at it, i just want u guys to know how fuckin proud i am of all of u.. thanks for bein there thru it all, my grandma, the break-up, our beloved andrew, my uncle.. regardless of where u are or where u were, u guys never failed to lend me your ears and your heart.

p.s. excellent choice with the title choo, always-bon jovi eh? ha.

p.p.s. Am looking forward to our next gathering/meeting/trip

Till then boys, take care

-forgive, but never forget-

-king.

I just watched this episode on Friends where chandler made out with joey's chic and joey found out and made chandler stay in a box as a way of saying sorry. I think it was something like that..

As for me..I'd say out with the girl..If she's willing to cheat on you then the relationship is going nowhere anyway.. For the best friend.. I have to agree with King.. Of course you'll feel hurt,betrayed,disappointed at first.. But everyone makes mistakes.. If he is really sorry and deeply regretted his actions..then..maybe I'll give him another chance.. Although things would be different from then on.. I believe everybody deserves a second chance...With that being said, I myself have not been in a situation like this..so I guess it might be easier said than done..
