No no, this entry is not abt me, but on vday on the whole. Since its just round the corner, thought I'll just write something abt it.

Actually, I think all guys hate vday to a certain extent. I mean, why bother to show your love only on one particular day when you can do it everyday of the year? Just becuz some capitalists say: 'Hey, I think y dun we dedicate one day to all the couples of the world, so that we can officially jack up prices of stuff and make a killing? Afterall, if the guy really likes his gal, he wouln't mind paying a little extra rite?' Hmmm... wait a minute, maybe the who came up with the idea is a feminist... aiya hec, a feminist businesswoman...

Now, some girlfriends will tell their boyfriends not to waste money on expensive candlelight dinners or roses that cost a huge bloody bomb on vday. Everyday is vday, if you really love me, they say, but guys, DUN ever fall for that. Gals normally do not mean wat they say, not in this case anyway.

I made a mistake of believing that once, so you can imagine how puzzled I am when my ex turned all sulky and moody during our date. She would look on with envy at little gals with little bouquet of flowers, teddy bears or other trophies of love, presented to them from their boyfriends and in her heart, she's thinking, 'Sigh... see how romantic those guys are, those gals are so lucky while I'm stuck with this insensitive and unromantic bloke!'

So for guys who wanna avoid such sticky situations, go get something for her, no matter wat she said. Sure, she will tell you off for wasting money la, blah blah blah, but I can assure you, she'll be proudly showing off the trophy you just gave her, provided its not a single pathetic withering stalk of rose la...

Ok next, on the gifts to get, well soft toys are strictlyfor school gals, no matter what... so if there's any guys reading this, dun ever embarass yourself by getting her a life size pooh bear, not only does it shows how childish you are, but can you imagine your gal struggling with the brute through masses of people? And oh, you are gonna end up dragging the piece of crap that you bought in the first place, so be warned... hahaha

Come to think of it, there's really not much of a choice for gifts anyway, perfumes, watches and stuff are strictly reserved for birthdays/anniversaries (if you are into anniversaries), so dun get those, otherwise you will be cracking your brains for the next 'time-to-get-a-present-again-day'. So conclusion, put your self proclaimned 'manliness' in the closet, go plan for a romantic candlelight dinner (which will cost you half of your salary) and grab a bouquet of roses/tulips or watver she fancies (just not bloody carnations, you twerk cuz thats for her mum in May), and you should be relatively safe for the day.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who are happily attached and for the singles, well you still have friends, better luck next year =)
