I like to ponder upon this subject above. I wonder if it's still true .. a friend to everyone makes one happier? I think I have some reservation these days when it come to this subject. For example, recently, my uncle a retiree usually stay home and try to makes friend in the neighborhood. He will be more than happy to talk to them and hopefully they can be helpful to each other.
However, last Saturday, while we were having breakfast, a decent looking mid 30s guy came over to our table. He started talking to my uncle, which we believe he is one of those friend he make in our neighborhood. However, the funny thing was, my uncle did not pay much attention to him, in fact was kinda ignoring him. I felt funny, because it seems to be very strange. As the guy was nagging like how r u today, what you do today, then the conversation has a 360' degree changes. The guy asked, "Can you buy me a Wantan Mee today!".
I was taken aback, and cut the story short, my uncle did not abide to his request. Later my uncle told me, it seems he is one of those mentally unstable guy. Though he looked friendly, chatty, but he demands for money and food!!
Gosh, right away, I won't sure if what he is doing is good. Making friends to strangers!!! I guess if the stranger that you make friend, knows how to give and take, that's fine. If the so call friend only takes all the time?!! I think you need to reconsider. He is not a friend, he is a parasite! For this case, a mentally unstable parasite!! Run for your life!!!

agree that we shouldn't be taken advantage off la... gotto be smart to protect ourselves...but but this case, he's a mentally unstable guy wor , so he himself also tak tahu what he's doing ,is it ? or he mentally unstable till cannot get a job , thus no food , then asking ur uncle for makanan ? if so ,perhaps sometimes a wantan mee doesn't cost us a bomb ,yet it can fill his tummy for a while ... so give lor ...
next time i will give Bahijia's address to him :))
