Sometimes, all you need is Love...Well, what's new?
New job aside and how my new colleagues seem to be genuinely nice and helpful, and how there's heaps of consolidation to do and clear, meaning no time to blog, this post, as stated by its title, would be filled with LOVE...
(*LauGhs* I'm just kidding! :P)
Well, alot of my female colleagues received plenty and huge bouquets of roses and the teddies... And me sitting closest to the door means having to sign for them! There were the flowers from friends, significant other and even the ex! But getting chauffeured out to lunch in a sports car was a great mid-noon start to a seemingly peaceful Valentine's Day...!
(Sports car/coupe = My manager's! And it is crammed at the back seats! What were u thinking?!?)
But honestly speaking, I've always thought that Valentine's Day was a day for the florists to make a killing, and for couples who've neglected their significant other to do something to express their neglect and what-nots... I remembered being with the ex of yester-years and my initial thought when I got a huge bouquet of pink lilies was what hanky panky has he been up to to spend that much on a huge bouquet! Was even thinking if I had to go dutch, and whether he had enough cash on him... Silly silly me...! *LauGhs*
I mean all girls adore roses, flowers and what nots, but for me, receiving it would mean the person getting a shelling from me about how silly it is to pay that much for something that's already dead...FYI, those roses are dead and would last only for like a week at the most, and when they wither, mommies would nag at us to throw them out cos they're gathering dust...
My Valentine's Day plans this year was to spend it with a married middle-aged guy with a pot-belly that seems to be swelling, listening to him talk about Management theories and a whole load of bollocks...!
Between theories of Motivation, money and salary, pZ got tempted with BLUE M&Ms! :P There's just something about the blue ones that I cannot resist!
Then I started telling my classmates of how a single serving would have 25grams of saturated fats, they tried tempting me again! This time with a GREEN M&M!
*ScReaMs*

Since there isn't PINK M&Ms, the girls tried with a RED one! Ironically, those matched the colours of my pens that I was scribbling with! :)Yesh, the random things my girlies in class and I get up to when lecture gets boring! :P

I was early for class and the guys in my class were surprised to see me there, wondering why I wasn't out on a date... Well, I simply replied that Im happily single and that everyday would be Valentine's Day if Ive a Valentine! And how the only man I can trust is the one tucked in my wallet, Mr Yusoff Ishak! (The former president's figure is on each of our notes! *LauGhs*)
And since the lecturer was late, I went to get a drink, and again bumped into another lecturer whom asked what I was doing in school when it's Valentine's Day! *SmAcKs head*

Wassup with lecturers nowadays!?!?! *LauGhs*
Then I got a phone call... Asking me to get to the front of the school building...
My Valentine's Day gift from a secret service agent (Not Telling! =X ) who dropped by just to hand me the gift of a 24K gold rose that according to him, would not wither and wilt, and wouldn't be a waste of money cos it would stand the test of time!How sweet, isn't it? :)
*sMiLes*
And since I was going to have classes, he was sweet enough to buy me a snack/my dinner of a slice of low-fat chocolate cake since I'm on a diet and that he knows I didn't have time to have my dinner before my lecture... Although its sinful chocolate cake, at least it's low fat!

(Brother had to rub it in by saying that it's probably cheaper than 99 roses together in a bouquet! *LauGhs*)
I was so touched and totally shocked to receive a pressie this Valentine's Day that I forgot to say thank you!

Close friends would know how I don't really like the idea of giving bouquets of flowers to the significant other, for the flowers are already dead, and nipped in their buds! :(
Which is why I prefer to view a garden-ful of flowers or receive a cactus, cos to watch a cactus grow takes TLC,
Not to mention how bloody expensive some dead plants would cost on this day!!!

The golden rose up close on my Powerpuff Girls bedsheets! I'm such a kid at heart! :)I hoped everyone had an enjoyable Valentine's Day! For those singletons like me... ...
You're never alone!
