[L] is for the way you look at me[O] is for the only one I see
[V] is very, very extraordinary
[E] is even more than anyone that you adore
Love is all
That I can give to you
Love is more
Than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart
And please don't break it
Love was made
For me and you
Alas, it's the time of the year again for the lovey-dovey feeling. It is the time for love, with a special day dedicated for couples to renew everlasting devotion to each other. Some quite "forced" into it I would say, and with the onset of capitalisation and chasing of profits, most restaurants and eateries, as well as florists and chocolatiers charge inflated prices, all for this one special occasion.
Seriously, why wait for the one day? Wouldn't it be more meaningful for such renewal of love on an unexpected basis? To watch that special person's face light up when a pleasant surprise is made. But to be forced into complying with the common masses just because there is that one day devoted to sweethearts?
Curvaceous Cindy: Wah! Flowers, chocolates and dinners are all so expensive at this time of the year. I told my other half no need to send. Keep the money and buy me that diamond ring!
Busty Betty: Really? You don't want flowers meh?
Curvaceous Cindy: Seriously though, no need'lah. Safe money better.
Then a large bouquet of flowers arrives for Curvaceous Cindy, and one and all can see her face all lit up with joy that her other half still sends her flowers. Contradiction? Or is this a female thing to say "Don't want, Don't want" but actually "Want"?!
But then again, I DO understand. There is somehow, that little magic or buzz one gets when receiving flowers. After all, someone once sent me flowers, and my office colleagues' curiosity went on maximum overdrive with many "oohs" and "aahs"....... :)

Wahh.... get flowers some more. Not bad. Yes, I agree. Flowers - no matter how fast they wilt, how impractical they are, they always bring a smile to a woman's face! Ha ha! Happy V-day! :D
happy valentine's day! no female will be unhappy when receiving flowers lah, want or don't want is not the subject :)
Happy Singles Awareness Day :) I like that song a lot. I may have to remember it the next time I do karaoke. On Saturday I sang three rock songs at karaoke in solidarity with a friend in Los Angeles who was singing lead with a live covers bad. It was her first non-church, non-karaoke gig and she really enjoyed it.
There's no question that St. Valentine's day has indeed become very commercialised. You are quite right about surprising loved ones throughout the year. And for those people who aren't currently in relationships, a day dedicated to romance is not always welcome (hence the joke holiday of Singles Awareness Day).
As it's been 9 years since I've had to consider this day, I find myself smiling at it and wondering whether or not to go to karaoke again tonight, with an appropriate choice of songs ;)
don't want, don't want = want?
just like 'yamate! yamate!'?
hahah!
very good. You've a flair in writing.
laymank, yamate yamate means more more.
Hi gina, yeah... SMILE! :)
Hey ml, very true.
Hola elaine, it's a very nice song. My younger sister used it for her wedding. Wah! Singing rock songs? Hahaha... can't imagine. Trying to picture you with head swinging and stuff.. LOL!!!
Hi laymank, like two wrongs equal a right? :P
Hey Sharon, thanks! But, I guess each person's writing appeals differently to different people. Have been told my blog is quite "uninteresting". :(
Hi yuin, yamate = more? Thought it means something like positive reinforcement to do well? err.. perhaps a bit then. But I noticed Amy likes to say Yamate...
