Well well. Tomorrow is Valentine day. I don't know what is the big deal about it. It is just one of those commercialised holidays out there. The best part about it is that it is not even a holiday. It is not even a festival if I can recall. Who will like Valentine day? I am sure the florist will love it the most. I mean when the hell can you charge up to $90 for a bouquet or rose. Gals who are attached will also love it. It will give them an "offical" reason to get a gift from their boyfriend. Restuarant owners will love it. It is not everyday you can pose off an ordinary set meal as a "Couple Meal" and jack up the price. The reason I mentioned above so far are all related to $$. Anyway, I am sure the economy won't mind the couple brigade from spending allof their pay on gifts for their bf or gf.
You guys might be wondering how I am going to spend my day tomorrow then. I will be doing my rounds of my friends' home for more Hong Baos. I am practically living off them now. So if any of you out there want me to visit you, just give me a buzz. I will definitely be there. I am not slamming Valentine Day just because I am single. Even if I have a gf, I think i will just have a simple meal with her. No need to lavish gifts or go cluttering with the tons of lovers out there. A simple nice meal at home and a small exchange of sweet gifts will do just fine. As for the roses, let's just say I am not a great believer in flowers. I am quite sure the $ that goes into flowers can be better spent on something more useful. Anything that won't wilter and die after 4 days is useful.
Lost some money over the CNY period but then again, I always lose. I am quite sure that is the main reason why my friends all love it when I am going to visit them during CNY. They saw a shadow of Cai Shen Ye in me. I am not going to gamble in cards anymore during this period. Mahjong maybe cause I like the game but screw BlackJack!! How the hell you play when all you get is 12,13,14 and 15??!!??
Anyway, Happy Valentine to all those people who have a date tomorrow. Do treasure he or her as I am sure he or she is quite serious about you. If not he wouldn't spend this quite important period to couple with you. Have fun. ;)
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
