Today being the 15th February...Still, it's never too late to wish all my girl and guy friends, brothers and sisters,

Happy Valentine's Day!!! =D

It is the only day when macho men can be seen carrying roses and flowers to impress their girlfriends, (I tell you, most guys would rather bury their faces in the soil like ostriches, than be seen and caught carrying flowers) and the women are dressed exceptionally nice. (I had lab from 12-6.30, and in lab, my eyes couldn't help but roam around to observe...heh). And well, restaurants are packed full of couples, and restaurants glee with joy at the thought of selling "limited dinner sets" just to hike the price 2 folds up, and extort money from men who have no choice but to burn a whole in their pockets. Strangely too, I remember last year at ECP, one rock by the beach could house 10 couples seated just inches away from another couple. (It did look pretty funny when you look at a wider view and see the whole rock from a distance).

Unlike the younger days when there were lots of roses, chocolates, sweets, candies, and small little things that we girls would give one another, there was less of it as each year passed, especially after secondary school.

This year, for the first time, I didn't buy roses, or made any special gifts for anyone. Sorry girls(I still love you all the same, you know I do right??? =D ) Then again, as commercialised as Valentine's Day can become, it is a day to recollect on St. Valentine's Day and how it came about. Check it out!
