The Place to be (Part II)

This is a glass of orange juice being served aboard a Singapore airline plane, specifically in the Raffles Class section. It's equivalent worth is 2000+ sing dollars. Of course, accompanied by automated chairs with ample legspace, in-flight entertainment, and scrumptuous food with appetizer, main course, and dessert (usually Haagen Daz Ice cream). They also give these cute little socks for you to walk around comfortably in (and yes, I know my feet look tiny):



The difference between noxious friends and nutritious friends.

Nutritious friends stand by you when you're down, give encouragement and support and never put you down when you don't deserve it. Noxious friends make digs at you, laugh at you when you're obviously miserable and reroute conversation to focus on themselves, making it plainly clear that the world should revolve around them.

Nutritious friends go shopping with you and don't complain about your taste in clothes, or criticize the horrible bags below your eyes, they know you have it tough, and they're there to make the day a whole lot better. Nutritious friends sit with you at the coffee place, the bar, the hawker centre, the canteen, and have fun, truthful, and witty conversations no matter where. Noxious friends sit with you, look at other people, and occasionally nod when you make an interesting comment or two, they then proceed to go into a whole list of detail which is as interesting as an investment talk which no one really understands.

Nutritious friends make an effort to keep in touch, calling on you for the occasional supper or drink, and turning to you if shit happens in their lives, and of course it is your duty to listen, console and counsel. Noxious friends call you out, whine and complain while wallowing in self-pity, then drown their sorrows in alcohol which automatically seems to go on your credit card, after which they puke on your shoes and make you drive them home at 4 in the morning.

Nutritious friends buy you things you really want for your birthday, like that Phillips epilator you've been talking about for months. Noxious friends buy you vouchers (of which they get free of charge, since they're members) or give you what you bought them for their last birthday.

Nutritious friends are playful and love making you laugh. Noxious friends are sly and push all boundaries knowing clearly how it would upset you, but doing it anyway.

Nutritious friends know your quirks and idiosyncracies, they put up with your perfectionistic ways, and idealistic views and accept it as part of you, and never try to change you unless its really necessary (in situations where body odours are involved). Noxious friends tell everyone about your quirks, twist it around and place extra exaggeration, so that everyone else knows that embarassing moment you had, laugh at you behind your back, then pretend nothing happened.

Are you a nutritious or noxious friend?
