Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little.
Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
That's What Friends Are For

They are my polytechnic friends. They have planned for us to enjoy ourselves before my birthday, when one of them cannot make it for the "full day event", they still make it a point to come out rather late that night and I know they are tired but they smiled and insisted that they want us to enjoy the night. We went to karaoke and sings our (or maybe just me) hearts out, after we failed to get tickets to watch "Mission Impossible III".
I felt so bad but they told me I should not as I should be happy and put all the sad things behind me. These girls really touched me. One of them still have to work the next day and I can see them yawning away. They got me a very cute sling bag from my favourite Japanese animation - Tonari No Totoro.

She is my secondary friend, in fact I have lost touch with most of my secondary school friends and I happened to meet her by pure luck in a shopping center. We exchange numbers but we never called or message each other until we met again at another place. We exchange our MSN address and started chatting on the MSN often.
She has been there in my up and down moments. Always cheering me and "bashing" those people who have bully and hurt me. When I was sad, she will date me out to play pool, have dinner or go shopping to cheer my up.
It is a blessing that heaven let us meet up again and keep in contact until now. She talks a lot and talking to her brighten my days.

He is someone whom I've never seen before, but we chatted through a forum and later in MSN as he sense that I am in some sort of trouble. It is quite true that I was in the lowest point of my life (or I think it was the lowest). A "friendship" was form with me seeking emotional refuge from him. Whenever I felt sad and low (again), he would be there to encourage me and pull me out from the sinking mud.
Though he told me he was not highly educated, but that does not really matter. Friendship are not judge by educational level. What he did reall touched me deep. Knowing that I was feeling sad, he suggested to give me a birthday treat within my birth month. I agreed to having a dinner with him as I can see his sincerity in cheering me up. We made a date and had a really nice dinner, after chatting for a while in the restaurant, he asked the waitress to bring in the birthday cake he brought and gave me a birthday present.
This really touched me a lot. He has went so far to cheer a "friend" whom he has never met before. I am really speechless, but I tell myself that he is someone who is genuine about establishing a friendship and I want to maintain and strengten this friendship.
My gift and cake:

They are email pals whom I have made after I joined an online penpal site. They are very friendly and when I express my sadness over the mail, they helped me to analyse the situation and cheer me up. Talking to me really make my days easier to pass by. If I did not exchange mails with them I think my days will be tougher to pass by.
They listened to me and I believe that they endure all my nonsense when I was thinking rather illogically. Thanks to the constant exchanging of emails with them, else the healing process will be slow.
---End---
This is that friends are for. True friends will not always br by your side but when you are sad and needed help they will appear and give you a helping hand. I will learn from them and learn to be a true friend. True friends are the ones who speaks of the truth and we all know that in most cases, the truth hurts. Many things that they have told me hurts me, but I realize that it is the truth and though I know, I guess I was too blind to see it.
Once again, thank you my friends, kawan, tomodachi, 朋友, vriend, ami, 친구...
I love you, all of you..
