V’s Day Wish List
Love is in the air…
Twas Valentine’s Day. Reservations are ringing of the hook, last minute shopping madness is evident, flowers, chocolates, stuffed bears of all sorts are selling like hot cakes. Not to mention, Chinese New Year is just around the corner, you might see some aunties (like my mom) being sandwiched in the sea of neverending crowds.
People at work have started receiving flowers since last week. Some smart buggers trying to impress girls by sending flowers the day before Valentine’s. Cheaper what!
Quoting most of my level-headed friends, "Wah, RM400 per bouquet, better give me the money for shopping la!". As logical as it sounds, it’s sad to see that vendors are taking opportunity to hike up the price, sky high. Valentine’s Day became overrated.
But still it puts a smile on my face when I came back to a very happy "Valentine-ed" sister (Monster Mike, we call her, don’t even ask why). A very nice school mate staying in the neighbourhood, gave her cotton candy for Valentine’s. She even wants to share her Valentine’s candy with me. The innocence in MM clearly reflects what Valentine’s means to her. It’s not a day, only for lovers. It’s also for friends and family.
My wish list for Valentine’s? I want to get into Darling Dearest’s thoughts, mind. Half the time, it was really frustrating not being able to understand what’s playing in his head despite our 5 years of journey together. So, this year, I’m not wishing for flowers or chocolates or stuffed bears. I just want to know you better and love you all over again. Perhaps this time even much more than the last. This I vow.
P/s: To my bro, Weng Yi, congrats on your marriage. I trust that you would make a great family man! A toast to always and forever…
