Sometimes fate really makes things funny and unexpected. Why i still always met him at the mrt station whereby i am already trying my best not to take the same train as him? Anyway bumped into him at the station yesterday morning again and we walked to work together. He initiated the conversation on our way to work and below is what we talked about:
L: Morning
Me: Morning
long pause...
L: Remember the book "Tuesday with Morries" that u recommended last time. I finished reading. So u prefer the book on The Five People U Meet in Heaven or Tuesday with Morries?
Me: Five people u meet in heaven
L:Why?
Me: The five people u meet in heaven is more joyful than Tuesday with Morries. I prefer something more joyful. Long pause... Tuesday with Morries is too emotional for me.
L: No. Its not emotional at all. I actually prefer the latter. Long pause
Me: U dont understand.. I treasure my friendship and the people around me. Well there is someone in this world that wouldnt knoe how to treasure the people around them
Long Pause
And his facial expression kinda changed a bit so he quickly changed the topic to the price of the book, claiming that the price of the book is too expensive of which 7 pounds is enough for the people to buy sausauges and groceries. And later on he added that since the author is writing for passion, he should not sell the book at such a price.
Just realised that we actually dont share the same view. I dont like to talk about money. Although money is important, i dont ever put money in the first place of my life. Whats more important is my family and friends. Money cant buy us that. On the other hand, money to him is the most important thing and sometimes i find him rather calculative and irritating.
Anyway he wasnt acting his true self during lunch time cos he kept eating. Just imagine he had a plate of fried noodles with fried beancurd and ikan bilis, followed by wanton mee, followed by yu tiao and the "butterfly" and a cup of sugarcane juice. I dont knoe whether is he using his eating binges to act miserable or not. It just that my other senior colleagues were very worried for him cos he recently declared to them that he broke up with his gf already. Its not that i am being evil but if he is really feeling very miserable, he should be the one blamed for it and he deserves it. I wouldnt take pity on him anymore...
