"To promote a genuine friendship is a rare & worthy event in life" James Shin.My Friend: Plastic PaddyHow we became friends: He was working for one of the major Ground Handling Companies in the air freight industries while I was working for the airline which was one of his company’s customers. However, as his company was liquidated due to the financial crisis and he was looking for a job, we scouted him as to work for my company and with me, because he was always helpful & working so diligently, and also besides I was his customer he was always very friendly to me in anything. Then we’ve closely become true friends in real life of promoting friendship.
Why we stayed friends: Having been together for a long period in the same air freight industrial field, we’ve also become as one team player since we worked together in the same company, and we’ve been relying on each other by helping each other in everything, basically we trust each other in anything & everything, as there haven’t been any hindrances in both working together & promoting our friendship in life. Then both our families have also become friends.My friend's best qualities: Humorous, thoughtful, supportive, honest & self-consistentWhy my friend is like family: We were treated like a twin by other colleagues & handling company staff, as we always acted together. He is like my big brother and also he’s been always caring for my family, and my children love him so much ever since he’s given presents to my children from the childhood especially on Easter, Christmas & birthdays. Even this day, they are still expecting something from him although they are grownup, not babies anymore. Since we become friends rather than colleagues, he is the first one I go to him and talk about anything even if it’s very personal, and I am the very same one for him, as ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’. .
Friendship Highlight: Working together as one team, we’ve achieved many things together successfully for what really we aimed and planned, as I used to approach things negatively while he was approaching them very positively, or vice versa, and we get used to work out mutually each other very well.The last time I saw my friend we...shaked hands with each other when I had to leave office after my early shift finished and he had to stay in office due to his late shift duty.My note:Dear Plastic Paddy,Thank you for being my best friend as he is the only one in real life & especially in GB, and also thank you for all your help & understanding as to have been there for me whenever I confronted difficulties & complexities or whenever I had happy moments in joy. When we retire, I hope that we will be living near each other at hand. Thanks for being a true friend! Your BF, JamesPS: How do we look like twins on these photos? Never! Even not same but different colours! Why do you think that my friend's mouth was taped?
Thanks very much for your good comment & nice compliment!
Yes, we do. We both actually work for Korean Air at Heathrow Airport. I also hope that you will meet your ideal friend one day in the future, who truly understands you & works together in the same environment as well as firmly promoting a true friendship with you, as a friendship is a love with a full of understanding & a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Thanks very much for your comment! Yeah, I believe we'be been very fortunate in working together as friends at the same office. Sure, I am trying to be a good friend to you too, but if you don't do the H/W what you supposed to do daily, then I can scold you severally as if it's necessary, hahaha!
Hi, Alexa! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your warm hearted comment. You know, I have found really a good friend here in MyEC as well and also few bad friends too who hurt me so much, but I learned the hard lessons.... hopefully you don't meet a bad friend but to meet good friends in future, who you can promote friendship firmly together in order to improve your English fluently in writing & speaking.
Hey James! I like your blog very much! I am happy for you that you have a true friend. It's really a genuine friendship. You are lucky and I think deserve it. Thank you for sharing:)
Hi James! Now I can see your Plastic Paddy))) and you too! You both are looking very happy and I wish you to cherish yours friendship, cause it is the best happines to have someone close to you!
Hi, Mayumee! Yes, you're right. He is a good talkative, as he likes talking hurmoursly. When we have a monthly meeting with our Handling Company, if he leads the meeting it seems to always take 2 or 3 hours while it would take 1 hour if I lead it myself (sometimes we do it together), so on that day, after meeting I just taped him. Someone saw us and took a picture. However, he is a excellent speaker and I like him very much.
Wow! I hope I could also have a friend like him in my real world...I mean best friend outside the net..You know, I miss having a friends in my sides and doing nothing, chatting nothing in importance and counting on each other at all times..REally you have a wonderful friend in him and definitely he has too, to you!
Hmmm....I guess you taped his mouth because he was talking too much while this picture was being taken or your buddy didn't used to take a photo of him, so in order him not to say no to taking picture, you just taped his mouth. (jejeje..just a wild guess)
Hi, Forget-me-not! Thanks for your comment! Yes, you're right that there could have been many problems between us due to our different characters(directness & indirectness), as we sometimes couldn't compromise each other at the beginning but we've always strangely reached to the conclusion with good & successful results at the end.
