as a single and if youre one whos painfully self conscious of your status, then couples on the road would probably be a conspicious eyesore everyday. and even more so on that special day itself when endless stream of smiling couples walk hand in hand with bouquets of flowers and handmade gifts and youre reminded once again, like a smack on the face, of your status.

and then theres many ways one can react to the abovesaid.
one-you can gather all your single friends and go out and have a good time together, as good fun as singles can possibly have.
or two, wallow in self-misery and wonder aloud amidst sobs how could cupid possibly miss youu.
or three, act nonchalent and indifferent and behave like its just another normal boring day; being blind to the bouquets of flowers and handmade gifts and wonder under your breath how people could possibly be wasting their time and money like that.

whatever the case, im sure vday affects most people in more ways than one.
this year im dateless. no date, no charming suitor nor any eligible bachelor in a suit with a bright smile and flowers.

i spent it with grace yu, alina, joseph, cheryl, gregory and tungene watching seoul raiders, which by the way, sucks totally.

tampines mall was packed to the brim with the abovementioned couples. ajisan and pastamania both had super long queues and the cinemas were crowded.

we could consider ourselves fortunate for getting the movie tickets; which by the way, might not be that lucky afterall, considering how the movie just sucked big time.

i bought roses for my good friends and for ms khainu (: bought chocs for the school people as well; some were appreciative, some were just completely unappreciative and idiotic ( read = my class guys).

received a few roses from friends and ogms and lots of chocolates and sweets. thanks so much to elissa, grace yu, alina, casse, benjamin ho, chew swee, kristle, olivia, alvin lee, paul, joseph, cheryl, shi ya and some more (:

and no, if youre thinking, im not being wistful about the whole bgr thing. maybe i was thinking to myself why the hell am i dateless this year when i had three potential dates last vday but nah. im at peace with myself. seriously. especially after seeing a guy i thought i fancied give this really sweet gift to a girl in front of the canteen.

vday is a day to commemorate the whole love business, so since ive no date this year, my friends and family are lucky to get all of my love! hahaa (:
yyeaa and when the day do come when i get that special someone, then yyeaa, itll be even better because ive waited.
so to all the sweet loving couples and especially to a good guy friend of mine who very recently got attached, have a sweet loving time together with your other very significant half.
and to the rest whos happily or unhappily single, just enjoy the very carefree life and the fact that theres no one out there controlling or monitoring your every move other than your parents (: and dont fret, your time will come soon.
i believe in soulmates and the one. theres someone for everyone out there, i truly believe (:
