I haven't seen MP for a long while. I knew him shortly after I came here to study. The noble bearing hunk is a successful engineer holding a PhD degree and yet still pursuing another degree. I don't know him that well since he's just a friend of my ex-colleague. But we have hung out a number of times. We usually have very superficial conversations. Well, not that I'm unfriendly, however I do find great difficulty in interacting in-depth with people who are rather frigid.
Tonight after a farewell dinner for AV, we went to join a few others at a bar few blocks away for a drink. MP's there. He still looks good, as usual. But somehow my intuition tells me that he's slightly different than the usual him. Em....what would that be? Perhaps his unusual enticing smile on his face? Anyway, half an hour or so later, he came over and started chatting with YC and me. Initially three of us were just having casual babbling about each other's lives. Strangely enough, MP and I continued to have a long in-depth discussion about 'love', leaving poor YC sitting quietly at a corner. The followings are some excerpts from the extremely long discussion.
MP: Don't you find it difficult to concentrate on your work if you are in love? *giving a peculiar look*
Me: Well......that depends. Some people who're in love tend to put in their love and joy to their work too and they ended up being so productive.
MP: Oh, you've a great point there! But you know when you're in love how can you find time for work?
Me: Em...that takes some adjustments. Initially it's extremely difficult, but you gotto find the balance. Well, you still put the relationship as the first priority, but you won't give up your other activities, you have to have some room for yourself and your beau also needs to have his/hers too.
MP: Oh, I agree with you!
MP: Will the deep affection feeling last long?
Me: I guess not, the heat will cool down after some time. We have to understand that. Just don't feel disappointed about that. I guess the lesser expectations you put, the lesser disappointments you'll feel. You don't have to cling together 24/7. It works better if both have their own space and own lives.
MP: Yeah, I can't agree more than you!
The conversation finally ceased as I had to call it a day. I was getting tired and needed to go home to get some decent rest for a busy day tomorrow. But I could tell MP would really like to continue the 'love' discussion. Gosh, I still can't believe I'd gone through such an extended chat with MP! Moreover, talking about the mushy love with a guy who's always uptight and behaves in an imperturbable and nonchalent manner? That's so ironic! The funny bit is he's so agree with my nutty views. This has definitely bolstered my ego! *lol* I'm seriously thinking about changing my doctorate thesis title to "Analysis of Love Relationship in Homo sapiens"!!
After tonight, MP has definitely altered my impressions about him. I'm happy to discover this new face/another side of him. There's bound to be something that made a different him or a different me in perceiving a different him!
