Have you ever fall into the position of Middle man during quarrels? If you go stray by taking sides, that will result in things turning ugly. Which, having said that, is not a pleasant sight to see of course.

Yeah, I’d been caught in this situation before. A quarrel occurred between two friends of mine. They had issues with one another because of a SILLY misunderstanding. I wanted to patch them up for the sake of our 4-year friendship so I asked them for a night out on the same day. Killer night of my life, I tell ya! Although we were in liquid kitchen and drinking Long Island Tea to chill out, things were so intense that they barely spoke to each other all night, except for the pauses of “i need the toilet” & “i need more shots”. However hard I tried to set the ball rolling for them to trash things out, it didn’t happen at all.

Then one party ask me to stand on her side. At first I was reluctant to but I gave in due to her constant bombarding questions of doubting our friendship trust. The next day after I took side, was horrendous. The opposite party found out and immediately broke off conversations with me. A cold war that turn into an extreme debate war. Uncouth words all used up. I was speechless with the realization of what a small decision I made could change a situation 360 degrees.

Eventually they patched up. And after that we realize how childish it can be, those little war of words nights over MSN and phone =.= This lesson taught me to devote to staying neutral whenever an awkward situation comes up between friends of mine. Never make the mistake of taking sides unless he/she really deserves your support.

This week I caught Ironman with some of the classmates. It was a real blast! Awesome movie with incredible effects and an excellent plot. Robert Downey Jr rules! Slightly better than Transformers was my conclusion. Go watch it if you haven’t, it’s worth the 6/8 bucks.
