A week of setbacks

after 2 days of setbacks.. within a week....
and it has to happen on a Friday and SaturdaY... yes.. consecutively...

after what happened... i finally realise 2 things which i don understand nor believe..in the past
1. Competition in the society...
2. Status (face) finally gotta know the EXACT meaning of losing face

guess both of factors are linked... and it did reflect badly on me.. i can say.. but i will learn from it..
birthday gifts will never the same again..
neither will friends....

i think this is what they call..
i have to learn it the hard way......
