all that love on valentine's day
14 feb is mumtaz's birthday! he's one of my best pals back in primary and secondary school.
alright, let's not avoid the obvious. it's VALENTINE's DAY!!! if it's not obvious to you, then i feel that you should take more effort into learning more about it, mark it down in your future calendars, etc. haha. well, as far as the roses and chocolates, hugs and kisses are concerned, i think we should also celebrate friendship during this happy day. we had v.day a.k.a "friendship day" in school. council's flowers were almost sold out by noon, so it was good! i could see balloons floating about in classrooms and in the lecture theatres; all colourful and bright to add a smile on you this special day!
i was late to school on v-day. felt so guilty as i was supposed to be early actually to help seb with the chocolates. demerits! anyway, luckily i didn't miss our class' gift exchange session. they held it at the open grounds next to the auditorium near our class bench. i was still blur in the morning so i just stood around trying to look for my dear mortal. haha. then she came with stephanie...then only i realised that stephy was actually my angel --". anyway, exchanged gifts...gave shuuy a cute pink pig. i wonder what she calls it. cindy called her's rosie though..haha. i got a new billabong wallet! it's black and really cool. hmm...it came just when i needed to replace my current faithful wallet of 5 years. it's been with me through thick and thin, tears and laughter, poverty and wealth =) thanks angel and mortal!
the thought of V-day itself injected many thoughts into my mind. somehow, i am becoming to feel that sometimes all the buying and giving of gifts have become a political act more than one of love. people give to gain favor, and i feel that most if not all have failed to see that the thought of giving is by far more important than how expensive your gift or how nice your card is. also, there are those who expect to receive and when that does not happen, they bitch about the giver out of jealousy. such friends. i was almost caught by the mentality of giving everyone some sort of small gift till a friend asked me whether will they even appreciate you, or even whatever you gave them. thus i came to a conclusion to give to those who mattered most to me.
i went for a gay date with alvin. haha. we rock! anyway, tried some italian restaurant along bukit timah which he recommended. the pesto i had a really rich sauce. yumm. we bought some sparkling juice back and we celebrated "singles-awareness day" together with my roommates. memories of how i spent v-day in singapore are now but flashbacks in my memory.... 1st year was cny i think(so i went home), 2nd yr: dinner w hc n THEN...target award camp with the sec1's..was with the admin too. 3rd yr(jc1) i was with the malaysean! ahhh..memories. i wonder what the future will be like...
