heart shaped box

happy (belated, by the time you read this) valentine's day to all you lovely people out there.

so...

how does your wallet feel after being $188.32 lighter ($88 per pax for new year good luck...plus 7% gst for govt)? did the food taste that much better, or did you really really enjoy that piece of poulet cordon bleu (aka chicken chop) that everyone else was having in the same restaurant?

and did you at least get a good night's kiss on your forehead for all that trouble? i certainly hope so...


now, if you're sitting on the other side of the table, how does it feel to be the recipient of that over-priced bouquet which, strangely enough, looks exactly the same as your neighbouring colleague's arrangement? did the petals start falling off shortly after work cuz they were imported from malaysia 3 weeks ago?

and did you finally remember to sign up for that gym membership to work off that chicken chop you ate just now? i certainly hope so...


i guess you can tell by now that i'm not a big fan of this over-hyped, commercialized "day of love".

but in reality, i did fall for "the great v-day scam" this year...

i actually asked this girl to go out on the 14th...10 days before the date some more...only to be rejected...almost immediately i might add. haha. the irony of it all.





maybe it was meant to be lah hor? i was never a big fan of cupid anyway...stupid little winged archer who shoots people in the ass. not my ideal bringer of love i must say. haha.

you can call me the scrooge of valentine's day for all i care, but i was with loved ones today...people i cared about, who cared for me too.

love takes many shapes and forms, and can spring up on you at any given time...but it doesn't have to be on one specific day of the year.

cheers. =)
