My Valentine's

Feb 14 has always been a date that envelopes most guys with mixed feelings. It's a time for people to actually show their better half how much love and appreciation they have towards each other but on the other hand, there's the expensive everything. Is it really worth it? Depends on how you look at it of course. Sure, many would say that everyday is Valentine's but in true fact, it is not. True enough that you can celebrate love every day and when you are together, everyday is special but it is on Feb 14 that makes it more special. Reason? I have not the slightest idea but for me, it is a chance for me to not prove, but to re-assure her that on that special day, I have chosen to be with her and will choose to for many more to come ( only applicable if she does not dump me). For now, I will keep my fingers crossed but I have faith. Haha.

First of all, a formal introduction is in place. This is Janelle. My better half who somehow manage to sort out my complex DNA and evolved me into a human. I was sort of uncertain before this as to which category I fall under between Homo Sapiens and Primates. Got together on the 27th of January which means that we have been together for a whopping 20 days!!! (Should have waited til after Valentine's so that I could save a little....). So now, back to Valentine's. Is it really worth all the hoo haa? Of course it is. I have to say 'Thank you' to her, not only for bringing me down from the trees but also for everything that she has done for me. Oh my god, why on earth am I saying that I am a monkey when I exude so much charm? Please disregard the fact that I said that I was confused about my true identity. And do disregard my self-praise. For Valentine's, the first pressie that I got, which I very much adore is this:

A brass Zippo Lighter

Haha, funny that Janelle gave me this as she asked me to smoke less. Anyway, this was given to me before Valentine's day and I really liked it and that was until I received the next present from her on Valentine's day itself. Not that I liked the Zippo any less but it's just that... You know how sometimes someone puts so much effort into doing something to see a smile on your face? It's not only because of the gift itself that made me feel so so touched but it's the time and effort that she put in it. It is a card that she made for me.

Its just a card... why the hell is that idiot so happy for...? We made a card for him on his 16th Birthday when we were still in Sri Cempaka and it was filled with "praises". Those words are actually what I think a few people would say to me. As usual, I will not name names like Faridz, Syafiq, Johan, Razman, Gerard... and a few more I think. Oh guys, I am still keeping that card (Made with 100% effort using a piece of art block folded into half) but behold...

Gigantic Birthday Card... all framed up.

We had dinner that night at a place called Chandelier. Food was crappy cos it was all pre-cooked but of course it does not matter what you eat and where you dine but who your company is. The night went smoothly with wine, beer, mocktails and chicken so bad you wished that they served KFC. The ambience was not bad at all but the dinner did play a big part in making it not so perfect. But Valentine's is a day for people to renew their love and vows to each other and the most important thing is to really let your better half know how much you treasure them and how much more you will from that day on. And dear friends, that is the reason why so many people would still be more than willing to spend on that memorable day, knowing that they will be facing a bank account which is drier that the mighty Sahara. So to everyone, this may be a little late but Happy Valentine's.
