The V-day Entry

Heart shaped chocolates, red roses, candle-lit dinners...... seem pretty rare in T-eeny town.

Returned here early this morning. J went for his final CNY money-throw session (or at least to me they are... haha!) last night, and that sort of kept me awake. What's more, the first flight out to T-eeny town this morning further robbed me of my beauty sleep as we had to get up at about 4:45 am to get to the airport.

I've always believed in celebrating Valentine's Day, or at least acknowledged it, until I started dating a guy who didn't. Till this day he stands by the school of thought that V-day was marketed and commercialised so that people could make money out of it, and that if every day was spent lovingly, every day can be Valentine's day. Haha, I think I've been too gullible, because he's been off the hook despite that in the past 5 years!

Well, to be fair, J takes me out for nice dinners round the year, and he buys me things that I like from time to time, so to make him spend any extra on a day like that would be pretty unreasonable of me :) Thing is, it's always nice to receive sweet gestures here and there like a card, a cooked meal etc.

This year, J probably felt a little bad that he's been depriving me of this little romance for years, hence he's wished me those 3 little words at least 3 times today. He also told me to pick a place for dinner, anywhere that I liked, and I settled for crabs in the end. Hahaha... at first he was like, "Wow, romantic choice... I'll get the seafood restaurant people to light candles at our table ok?" Yeah right. That place is so bright from all the fluorescent lights that you probably need to start a fire before it gets noticed :) Well, at least he tried to leave his Beng ways behind and attempted to be romantic! :)

After a good dinner, we went to do some grocery shopping together.

It's been a simple night, but I'm happy. We're now both at our own laptops, one's happily "bitching" about the other, and the other's happily blasting someone else's allies on Starcraft.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone :)
