In all good spirit of Valentine's Day, I love you people!
I love Valetine's Day and I have never felt like I want to die and or bury my head under the ground because I have no Valentine. I feel happy when I see couples get together to celebrate the day. I can't agree more that it is getting commercialised but it would be silly for businessmen to ignore the business opportunites and even sillier for people to avoid celebrating the day just because they need to pay more. As long as you are set out to celebrate and enjoy that day with someone, you don't need to fall into the commercial traps. It is not so much about Foi Gras and Red wine, but more on the company and the meaning the day holds.
But as relativity takes over the absolute, people begin to think in a perverse way. Women get angry if they bite off chicken drumstick instead of nibblng on foi gras. Men feel lost if they failed to carry a packet of condom in their wallet instead of a handmade V-day card. Still, I am sure that somewhere out there, there still exist couples that truly appreciate the day. They could be having heart to heart talks on a swing, walking by the garden or just quietly listening to the waves by the beach while thinking of each other even though they are just 10cm apart.
As for me, I took half-day leave cos I am ill. Blame it on the less-than-7-hrs sleep, blame it on my social life, blame it on the company's air-con, blame it on the viru, blame it on the Singaporeans on the MRT train..
Speaking of the MRT trains and the passengers...
~!#%#!!$#@$
Sometimes, I feel like bending down to their feet and start playing 'hit the crocodile' using my heels. These people are outrageous. Just today, an uncle stared venemously at me when a lady in front of me vacated her seat. My fault that she needs to get off and I can get a seat? Being nice, I gave my seat and he glared at me as if that is the only thing I should do. Bloody hell, uncle, go wear heels lah. Then there are the pole dancers than sandwiche the poles with their butts. Itchy or what? I have no idea what to make of such people. I am going off to the doc. I will leave these commuters for another entry. Till then, Happy V Day!
