Not a fan of Vday
It’s not that I hate the notion of Valentine’s Day, I’m just not a fan of all the commercial crap that comes along with it. As we walked down Orchard Road, I’m shocked by the number of people who bought badly packaged roses at ridiculously inflated prices for their loved ones, don’t they realise we’re in recession? Not only that, but you embarrass them further by forcing them to carry it around town with one hand, a teddy bear in the other.
Then again, I’m sure it would be a different story if a bunch of tulips were to appear in front of me.
Danli made it a point to make sure I wasn’t going to spend Valentines Day alone this year, so we headed out to White Rabbit with the other girls to what was suppose to be a quiet night. Little did I know it was a singles night! Luckily for us by the time we arrived, the party was open to all. Aside from bad pick up lines, and long toilet queues, I had a great time reconnecting with old friends.
If only all Valentines Day could be this non-Valentine-sy.
But for those who DO celebrate this day, Happy Valentines Day!
Valentine’s Day is overrated!!! But that’s cos i’m single hehe.
Yeah.. My friends were celebrating Valentine’s and Singletine’s Day together. But I cannot imagine the bad pickup lines @ White Rabbit… hehe
Wow welcome back! New layout looks very fresh!
OH wow. I forgot when we took this. :S
Nways, MORE LADIES NITES SOON!

Even though i’m attached, i do feel that Valentine’s Day’s been too commercialised too. I mean, it’s nice to receive gifts & all, but i always can’t help balking in horror @ the cheesy set menus, ugly bouquets (not to mention hair-raising prices) & worse, bad service everywhere. Tsk.
I agree. V Day is too commericalized. And especially when we are in such an unpredictable economy to have to for out hundreds of dollars for overpriced everything sounds insane. Whatever happened to being original? handmade card some effort into the gift does not have to be pricey or the outing either… anyone can throw cash onto a set menu/flowers but a nice gesture handmade well thought out goes even further…
I don’t remember celebrating V Day with any of my exes. It’s really the thought that counts since the ones I was with somehow don’t even seem to remember to say I love you, hahahaha. Oh honey, no men = no trouble indeed.
@Kuen

@ginA

@Cheryl
Cheryl, well said. I feel the same way.
@michie
Wow you remember that line eh? was it on friendster ? AHahha
The first thing in the morning of VDay, i went in to Kiara to great my monkeys…
I didn’t even realised it was vday til dinner time and I couldn’t get a table all over town. I ended up having dinner at midnight.
Me dun like teddy bear nor single red rose too. But i’m a sucker for tulips! And guys should find out what type of flower their gf like instead of red roses bcos people say it stands for love.
@Tan
i would have loved to spend my vday morning doing that.
@Chloe
yeah im not the red roses kind of girl. no way jose
ten thousand men are rejoicing on the fact u celebrated Vday alone. hurray! u r once again listed on the free market index.
Girl, I think if you have a blursotong quiz. I sure win one, hahahhaa. That was on friendster indeed and somehow that line stuck in the head. I just have a better memory for things like that, hehe. =)
hey angela, welcome back to blogging! valentine’s is overrated. for me, not because it’s commercialized, and how it makes people look silly, but why can’t every day be as special? keep posting!
hey! Nice layout!
not only we share the same name, we like the same flowers too.
Love reading your blog.
But the economy will pick up because of the ridiculous V-day spending, no?

Vday just has not been V day the last couple of years. Big fight preceeding the 08 one. This year, it was a week after my Dad passed away and my wife flew back back to KL on the day. So it was all alone at home. Plus its our anniversary too. V day so sucks.
