~ Valentine's Day Recap ~
8:25:00 pm
Valentine's Day... A special day for lovers... Well, how about those who are single? Of course, you can celebrate it with your other gal pals and make it a girls' day out or something... Who says you need to feel left out just bcuz you don't have a partner on Valentine's Day? Hey, this is a modern society... Who cares about guys and being single?*Haha*... Actually whatever that was typed above was just a fragment of my ideas that were raking in my brain... Although I don't personally celebrate Valentine's Day as our religion actually forbids it, but throughout the whole of my poly life, I have been spending my Valentine's Day with friends... Girl friends to be exact...
During my first year, I got to spend it with Flora and Abby... Remembered that we went to Suntec just to see some exhibition on healthcare... Somehow, I felt consolated cuz all the 3 of us were single ladies at that time... *Hehe*... And that was the first time I got a "rose"... It was a blue folded paper rose given by Yangde, my bestest guy buddy from sec sch... We were in school then, having lunch and a girl from the Student Union approached us, asking whether we wanted to buy a "rose"... Of course we pestered Yangde to buy for us and guess what? He really took out $10 from his wallet to pay for 3 paper "roses"! And each "rose" cost $2.50!! I was really touched by his gesture and till today, I still have that paper "rose", stuck with some plastic flowers... Has a little message too that says:
We will always be walking on the passage of LOVE... It may just be a paper flower to you but it holds a special value to me...
My second year and my most memorable Valentine's Day... I spent it with another gal pal... It was none other than Kaili, one of my closest pals from sec sch!! Went to see the Body Works Exhibition at Singapore Expo... Remembered all the bodies and whatsoever stuff... Reminded me of the cadaver in the school bio lab... *Hehe* But that wasn't the memorable part... The one that I could remember most was when we were looking at the Cleo magazine's
Top 50 Eligible Bachelors... The worse part was, we were seated just behind the driver in the bus (cuz there's were no other 2-seater seats available!) and you know how bad the lighting is at that part, so both me and Kaili lifted the magazine to our face level so practically who ever was behind us could see what we were reading or looking at... *Haha*... Made us looked like some desperado or gals who were 'date'-less on Valentine's Day...
Anyway Kaili... I really missed you!! How have you been?? Must meet up some day okay? *Hehe*...My third and final year which is actually today... I would rather say that I had a 'date' with school since today's school was from 11am to 6pm... Most of my friends had celebrated their Valentine's Day with their partners either on Saturday or yesterday... Anyway, it doesn't make a difference with who I spend it with as long as I have my friends around me... By the way, thanks Fione for the chocolate cookie and thanks Eve for the lollipop! Took some pics using Jeraldine and Mac's camera... Maybe when I get the pics from them, I shall post it here... *Hehe*
And oh yeah... A little message to all couples...
Don't just love your partners more on this day... It should be the same everyday... And guys, don't just buy flowers and gifts for your girlfriends on Valentine's Day... Make it EVERYDAY!! *Haha*... Just kidding... Happy Valentine's Day...
