Taking the initiative
Hmm. Somehow, I think that between friends, one should take initiative in doing things to keep the friendship going. I am not that proficient keeping in touch with everyone, just like anyone else. But I do believe, at the very least, there must be some initiative taken.
Hope this post doesn’t strike unhappiness or whatsoever, just something that sparked off [my thoughts] from a recent gathering request.
My friend initiated to do something together, and asked me to call along others as well, hence I tried to call others along too. Though the response wasn’t good [everyone’s busy with either exams/work or wanted to save money], but I still was OK to go for it.
Then I messaged my friend to change the venue since it’ll be more convenient for us, the next day, I followed up with a call, and was told that he/she doesn’t want to go ahead with the outing, since he/she had wanted to save money.
Sounds reasonable. I’m alright with that, seriously. Just that I had wished my friend would let me know earlier, either giving me a reply via SMS, or call, since he/she was the person to initiate the outing. I’m not upset about it, just a wee bit disappointed. Anyway, there might be other reasons why my friend didn’t reply, so let’s give him/her the benefit of the doubt. 
At least I found out early by calling up my friend.
