I USED to have a friend..(when I put USED to..it means USED to..) whom I thought has the same thoughts as me, the same principle in life, share the same moral values in life with similar family upbringing.

She was someone whom I shared literally the same bed when we were roommates not long ago. We have been sharing the same room for more than 2 years. We had a good relationship while we were roommates. We actually hardly see each other in the room, as we work different shifts most of the time. So, once we have the time to see each other in the room, we would be busy catching up on the latest gossips and we could go on and on and on all night. We stay up happily chatting till late at night & until we really couldn't stand it, then doze off to sleep. We had endless topics to chat about.

We help out each other at work, as well as when we're sick. I remember she called me one day when I was at work, she said she wasn't feeling well & needed to see the doctor; without any hesitation, I rushed back & escorted her to the clinic. I also made sure she was OK & had something to eat before she takes the medicine.

There was also once, when she was sick in bed and there wasn't anything to eat in the room. I quickly went to get her some hot porridge so that she could take her medicine after that.

I was excited for her when she went for her promotion interview. I encouraged her & gave her confidence. She was like a sister to me, someone I cared for & treated her like a dear friend at heart.

All this...has now changed. She has turned into a total stranger, someone that I don't know anymore. All her actions make me feel sick & it's really unbelievable how the power of $$$ could change someone. She has now done something that wayyyy back when we were roommates, we swore together that we won't be caught dead doing it...I'm really disappointed in her..I know..I can't treat her like before anymore..things have changed..SHE has changed..maybe the problem is ME..as I didn't change with her? Nope...no way..I'm who I am..
