Well.. V-day just passed and it was well-spent with people like Tuty, Faizal, Azhar, Zul, Dean and Rosz (plus frens) and of course, not forgetting Miss Azza. It was just an appropriate day for chocolate fondue, flowers and 'mon-cherie's, chilling in front of esplanande talking about dates.. Like i said, one of my biggest achievement so far would be having friends like you guys.. *hearts*
Experiencing V-Day when you're working as opposed to schooling is totally different. Way back in poly, I remembered getting secret notes and flowers stuck on my locker and there will ALWAYS be a V-Day bazaar going on at the forum and u will hear love songs and couples going around with flowers and candies and wat nots.. You can literally feel the love in the air, i tell you.. Even the lecturers will be in onto it..
Then come SIM, no V-day bazaar and secret cards or flowers stuck on locker. But then, there was a boyfren to spend my V-day with. No quarrels, arguments or bickerings but just absorbing the spirit of love all around. Dinner, gifts, cards and flowers.. you noe, the usual thing that couple does.. celebrate their love for each other lah konon tu.. But lets not forget that you can also do the same thing on any other day. Its just that Valentine is a day when the whole world acknowledge that its a day for love.. Besides, seeing so much flowers is a pretty sight, no?
Now that Im working, I can feel that the V-day spirit is mellowing down a bit.. No big hoo-hah celebration anymore for me. For the past two years, Valentine was a day spent celebrating it with frens. Last year was with the Ngee Ann peeps (selling flowers at TP, dinner with Ros & Dahlia) and this year, with the SIM peeps (choc fondue, Esplanade). These are friends that I would count as 'keepers' and Im so glad that even for at least once in my life, they were with me on Valentine. Hahaha.. ni part kira touching ah....
So you see, V-Day for me has come to mean much more than just love for ur partner. Its also love for ur frens. Especially when you dont have your sweetheart to celebrate it with..
Happy Valentines Day everyone..
Or in the words of MD, "Happy Sweethearts Day..." :)
