Call Him Bro
Being a guy, living in the reality of the life sometimes takes more than just island. Men called the same sex regarding them as brother, bro, dude or any other kind as this reflecting the deep relationship despite not having any blood ties. Here we do called them ‘macha’ too.
The Bro Code
I was trying to write an entry regarding the term used by the guys between the guys as also mentioned in the book “The Bro Code”. Likelihood that entry will not make it since I haven’t even started. Anyways what I have in my mind now is rather an astonishing thought about calling the guys bro. I would have guessed that each and every guy will have certain perception when they call the other guy ‘Bro’, ‘Dude’, ‘Brader’, ‘Macha’ or etc.
Here’s my perception. Back then when I was young I really think that bro before hoe. Maybe it was the upbringing where growing up watching the triad society and system, the old story where they talked about camaraderie and stuff like that. That was when I started to put brother ahead of anything else. Eventually things started to change. Brotherhood slowly treated as something less importance. I always thought I would put brother in front of anything else. Not even parents or the loved ones.
Now I come to realization that that is not certainly what I want. Parents and the loved ones come first. Blood is always thicker than water. That is rule #2. However, when it comes to brotherhood it should never come behind the materialistic stuff. At least that’s what I think about of.
A couple hours ago I was meeting up with a buddy of mine. I called him bro – short for brother. But I knew that it is not just bro. I treated him as a friend. I regard him as brother. Someone I really take into consideration for the number of years we went through together from high school to date. Such friendship is hard to find about when it takes years to build upon. So when a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Let’s just call him L. L looks a little worn out today. He haven’t had any much sleep as he was busy preparing for his upcoming wedding this weekend. This further added that his fiancé was admitted to hospital for some body checkup. So it seems that he have to deal with it alone at this moment. I felt sorry for him because I can’t be much of help. Therefore I was hoping that Lord will grant him strength and wisdom to deal with it.

One of the issues he is having seems to be the list of songs to be played during the dinner. I managed to prepare a list which I planned to put it up in the other entry. Yet I missed out a song for the toasting. My bad. I met up with him in A&W Taman Jaya to pass him the list of songs. During that course, I overheard he was trying very hard to seek a car – the Bridal Car.
D who is our common friend was the one L seek out to use D’s car as the bridal car. Reason? The Chinese always wanted a big car to use as a bridal car so that it looks good. Luxurious. Stuff like that. Good omen. Good. D did not confirm or said ‘No’. He just leave it open. It is like not answering. So L seems to be lost and not thinking straight.
Well D is well known for his obsessive concern for his stuff. Someone I would put in as “protective” and care of his belongings. So it is fine when the D reluctant to lend out his car. Perhaps I have different expectation and view when it comes to bro! Oh well, that’s life I guessed. Material things can be gained over the course of time.
Whatever might happened, let’s just pray that L will manage to get a bridal car soon.
