Today is Valentine's Day.

It felt more of a friendship-day kind of day to me though. Probably because of all the small little gifts like self-baked cookies, cards, candles, chocolates (hey notice the alliteration!) and stuff like that I got from my friends. Mostly female though(not that I mind lah, haha). Nevertheless, my secret wish of getting heart-shaped helium balloons was granted! That small gesture was enough to make me smile into space like a retard in the middle of lecture for no apparent reason, when all my friends are furiously copying notes. Thank you! ;) I love floating balloons.

After school Cheryl, Shimin and me went to Swensens at Plaza Singapura (courtesy of Shimin), and were greeted by couples strolling hand in hand on the streets. Greeted is an understatement man. We were bombarded all around by couples, more likely. It seems everywhere we go, every direction we turn, a couple will be ready to pounce on us. I admit it did feel a little odd, us three girls in the middle of Swensens, surrounded by hanging heartshaped balloons and couples staring into each other's eyes, sharing ice-cream, whatever else that couples do on dates.

What's the big deal about Valentine's Day anyways! You don't wait for Vday to show love mah, so why must everyone wait till this day to bring their dates to Swensens and cram up the entire place. Rahhh.

And I am not complaining OK. Just airing my grievances, for lack of a better description. I asked Kep why is he swimming with his brother on valentine's day(I didn't believe it initially though), and he said it's not because he doesn't have a date, but to wait for something better. It made sense to me. And I think I agree.



Found this quote on the net and I think it's quite nice:

"The laws of gravity cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." -Albert Einstein


And I love this quote from the Bible:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Beautiful.
