Can I ask your opinions regarding friendship?
I do like my small circle of friends but I am thrifty in nature.
Given a choice, I would rather spend money in hawker center rather than places that cost more than $10 or 20 +.
And also, things like drinks, movie ticket during peak hours, Sing K and etc can be costly.
As such, I have to reject quite a few outings which are not good for friendship-wise.
If there are free activities, I am more than willing to go out. Haha.
How do you cope with it? And also, for work-wise how did you maintain working relationship with your colleagues even though you brought your own food from home?

Unfortunately, no man is an island and as long as we are out in society making a living, we have to make an effort to socialize or else life could become difficult in many ways.
Having said this, we cannot choose our family but we can certainly choose our friends. ;)
If these are people who matter to you, explain your situation to them.
If you are someone who matters to them, they will understand and accept you for who you are. :)
