I have long expressed my
disgust at his gambling habits. But he would always brush it off,
saying I dont know how much he has make thru gamblings. Hes an
extremely self-confident & almost (I feel) delusional abt his
gambling habits.
I already tried to draw a line between us, but whenever he needs
money, he would call me non-stop (if I dun answer) & expects me
to pass him some money, however little the amount is
I'm so bloody sick & tired of all these rubbish.... It's sad
enuff that i do not have many close, supportive friends. None of
the friends i knew ever call me to keep in touch or express any
concern... the only "fren" who keeps contacting me is one who jus
wans to borrow money..
Hahaha... how pathetic can my life be.... hahahaha...

so... you're just asking whether he is a friend?
damn right he is. he sounds like a gold mine. dont worry. your
investments in him will pay off, sooner or later. this fellow is
showing a lot of prospect and certainly has the potential to become
the next oei hong leong.
do not be a fool by drawing a line. keep giving him money
regardless of your bills and needs. furthermore, you do have an
obligation to help him since he has helped you BIG TIME, several
times.
let him brush you off. the deals that he'd talk about will probably
confused you anyway, since your life is pathetic, so why try to
understand more than you can comprehend?
how can you say that he is delusional? not when your life is
pathetic! especially not. he helped you several times afterall. all
that talk that you're bloody, sick and tired is full of rubbish. he
is your ONLY friend that cares about you afterall! do your job as a
proper friend and give him your atm card and the password to
it.
