Troublesome

Hi
Lately I have been thinking a lot....

Do I have real friends ?  Are they true to me ? or they are only making use of me ?

Come to think of it, I still have a few sincere friends whom we have known each other for more than 20 years.

I have this small group of friends - we always travel together - at least once a year since a few years back. I tell you - there is 1 very troublesome person.

To say it nicely, she is cost-effective. To be crude she is stingy.

She always ask me to do the booking (air ticket, hotel) if we travel free and easy.
Its ok I do not mind to do it though sometimes I grumble behind their back.

I am really sick of this lately.

btw, in the 1st quarter of the year, we have planned to travel to a nearby country.  For this trip one of the kakis has helped to book the air ticket through one of them few months ago.  I helped to book the accomodation more than a month ago.

Today I heard another 'kaki' wanted to join us (last minute). She has bought the air ticket.  I was asked to book an extra bed for her.

Do they know its troublesome to do it.

These people really take things for granted ! Hmm !

Really 'jin cha'.

I really do not know how to go about it.  Thought we could just add in when we checked in the first day.  I decided to do it via the 'middle-man' i.e. the Agent but found out its not so straight forward.

Aiyah, these people really give me so much trouble (I am already overwhelmed with official work since 2 months ago and I have to do all these nitty gritty stuff).

Just my luck to be their so-called friend. ??

What to do (this is the golden word of one of my former colleagues).

I have been telling myself - this probably will be the last DIY trip I go with them.

No more of this nuisance - I have had enough - enough stress - enough work .......

I really regre.....tted joining them for this trip.  Sigh.

Sometimes I just feel that I have acted in a rush - did not consider carefully and thoroughly.
