I've spent most of my younger years being somewhat tomboyish. But, even then, i still look to finding best friends among the same sex. I did have one really close friend who was also a tomboy too but that lasted for four years until i shifted to another school.

The thing is, i can't help it to like 'guy' stuff though at most times i try not to be super fanatic over these interests. I'm an ardent sports fan. I used to be a wrestling fan but it got all 'soap drama', it's just not cool to watch anymore. Anyways I'm rather outdated already. It was pretty hot when there was The Rock.... and the ever famous Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker, Mick Foley... the list goes on. And i was a F1 fan, until Mika Hakkinen left the arena, my heart left with him. I like to watch football too and still watching. I'm a
Liverpool fan since Steve Mcmanaman was still there with Robbie Fowler. I seem to remember those days more then the Owen time...??? I wonder why? I used to watch NBA too especially when Michael Jordan was still alive! I can't help it if i'm easily influenced by my brother. (Though i do watch sports for the cute guys too.... that may not be true too, cos i like Ronaldinho.... -confused-)

There's also the music scene. I know i was a boy band listener but that was a phase. Well, it soon turned into rock and i went to the extreme. I remember my first fav band: Metallica. Haha! But soon i met a balance. When Linkin Park came out, I went crazy over them. I practically ate, sleep and dreamt about them. And now, there is My Chemical Romance. In the nutshell, rock is more of my thing and i like it.And after stating all that, I'm rather reluctant to say that i like activities where I can feel the adrenaline rush. Roller coasters, horror films and any activities themed 'adventure', count me in! I'm so up to it. And, i eat just anything and as a matter of fact in large quantities (if not because i'm trying to diet and lose weight now).
Truthfully i'm pretty rough around the edges. Even though i'm trying to be more feminine now, just to attract the guys, in actual fact, I'm not all that. All this while, I've been trying to find a girl who can share these same interests and also one more important thing, share the same wavelength as me which is really quite hard to find. A girlfriend of mine once said that i don't really think or sometimes act like most girls. Damn...
After writing this blog, i have come to realized that, no wonder i can't get a boyfriend, what more a best friend. But a guy best friend, maybe that's a solution for me for not feeling oh so lonely and sometimes so outta place when i'm with the girls. Yet, I still tend to avoid the guys when i feel we get too close. I just do not want to experience the part where i fall for my best fren or he falls for me! I just don't trust myself or the guy. Too much drama.

Then again, i'm getting nowhere.

Well, so the issue is about opposite sex best friend.
Getting a best friend from opposite sex is not the problem. The problem is the development and sustenance. When friendship has reached a certain stage, the relationships will either leap-frog to love-relationships or flip back to normal friendship. Worst, friendship is destroyed when the development go awry…..HEHE…(based on my own experience and observation)
Other than high risk of misunderstanding, jealousy by his or her partner is also a hazard. Sometimes, certain things cannot be shared with opposite sex.
Maybe at the first place, our forehead shall be written ‘‘Fren Fren ah….not beyond tat.’’
I personally think that same-sex best friend is still the best……..as in mandarin we usually say our ‘’Jia Mei or Hengtai’’
I am not sure whether there is self help book on ‘‘How to handle opposite-sex friendship effectively?’’
Perhaps I need one or write one….Who knows, maybe it may become the next international best seller….kaya raya……
Recommend me if you found one.

I agree with ah chang. i think opposite sex best friends cannot work. But i think it can work if u remove the "best" in best friend. But otherwise, i don't think so...Lets face it, it cant even happen in the movies, what makes you think it can happen in real life? In the movies the guy and girl always ends up together even thought they are just friends in the beginning... Gilmore Girls for example. The mother and Luke ended up together even though they were just frens in the beginning. you can try, but its really hard to say the hopes of it turning the way you want it to.
Agree with Muhaimi. Removing the word ‘’best’’ from bestfriend is indeed a good idea.
I got an idea.
How about looking the ‘’best friend’’ is this different angle…………..
By describe the word ‘’best’’ friend in your own definition.
How best is considered best friend? My bestfriend definition is simple. Respect me who I am as I respect him/her, He/She shares my problem and happiness with me as do I towards him/her in the other way round, forget and forgive each other mistakes….and of course, enjoy in company with each other.
But don’t get me wrong!I don’t mean that we must set some conditions in order to be our best friend. I am not against the conventional wisdom of ‘’unconditional love.’’ I just believe we need to retain some rationality in our conscious mind.
Overall, I believe strongly on whatever relationships whether it is romance-love relationships or friendship (same sex or opposite sex), to be everlasting, it requires strong commitment from both parties.
Relationship is 2 ways, not one way.
Give and receive, give and receive…..by both parties
You cannot just give give give…….or receive receive receive……ONLY
Back to opposite-sex best friend issue, definately, it requires much much greater more commitments from both parties than same-sex bestfriend.
So what do you think??
Note: Assumption that a best friend is equal to a true friend.

Wow!!! i didn't realize guys wld be against this idea...
Well, what i meant with best fren is uknoe d fren u alwaes know u can fall on. The one who's alwaes there. I agree that there need to be 2 ways and i'm all for it!!! But til now, i haven't found someone who would give even close to how much i gave in all my frenships. Then again, I could be blind or else naiive...
Maybe i'm just tired of finding the right guy and i thought having a no string attached guy fren wld be a solution or rather.... I thought since i've been mingling with the girls and there were no luck?! I don't know....
But thanks for the comments guys, u've shed a lotta light onto it!
well, another way to get around it is get a net friend. some guys, like me, make it a prinsip not to fall for anyone that they only know online. But then again, u still have to find that person....
sorry..1 more thing...maybe u can find a gay friend...although i heard these guys are damn cun, theres a posibility u will fall for them hahaha
i've got a gay fren... haha!!! maybe i'll work from there cos he's damn close to me... u r so correct!!! yeah, prob i can explore dat option and menghargai him more...
p.s. i thought muhaimin, u got a girl best fren d other day u smsed me???
Haha..well yeah...but thats why im in a messed up conflict now....and thats why i don't recommend it to you....
haha... remember i adviced u d other day about a best fren girl relationship.... i din want to be straightforward but since i dunno wut's going on.... i can't comment much...
Well, i think its pretty hard for me to have a female bes friend, sometimes it because of me, but most of the time its the girl that "for some reason" start to distance from me when i get too nice, although no feelings are involved...U can guess what the "reasons" are...haha
