Blog coverage on appending war.
And so its begun. To put it bluntly, the situation's really bad and although i try my best to muster whatever optimism and courage i have within me, i realise that there's no turning back because it's too late. In approximately 5 days, lollipops, overpriced flowers and chocolates, repulsive heart shaped ornaments of all kinds - metallic, furry, plastic, attached to an even more replusive and disproportionate teddy bear, vomit inducing cliches and tacky poems that actually rhyme WILL take over the world we know. The war is waging and it seems that Hallmark is the only party left standing waist deep in consumer dollars. *one minute silence*
HOokay before you start labelling me a cold-hearted envious skeptical single B*tch, let me defend myself. Its not that i absolutely HATE Valentine's Day or V day as we all well versed in hip-lingo may know it as. Now, i don't mind like a simple gesture, something sweet. Sure! afterall why go and be a spoilspot? celebrate go ahead.. but seriously no need to overdo anything right. LOOK. if it takes a "god-knows-if-its-really-a-day-of romance" to jolt you into action to declare your love or do something extravagant for your lady, THEN MAYBE your relationship needs a check up huh? And i cannot for the life of me fathom why people think its more romantic, or some sort of a 'good luck' to get married on vday. Well UNLESS you think that celebrating your unique love for each other together with millions of people around the world doing and saying exactly the same things, and squashed in the SAME R.O.M, using the same expressways to get there is extra romantic. Nothing says I LOVE YOU more than having to rush through your vows so that the next couple can come in hoR. Lets see... i can so picture it.. ok ah-kow you on anot? ok. ah-huay you leh? ok. ONS Arh can go liao..outside to sign go go go.. NEXT! if you ask me, its just so its easier to remember anniversary LAH right *nudge* and GIRLS if you think about it, you get shortchanged because usually you'd get 1 diamond for your anniversary and a necklace for V day. Now that its lumped together, you'd probably only get either one. UNLESS your husband is the generous and automatic type but WHO ARE WE KIDDING!?! must i remind you we live in Singapore, where casually bringing up the possibility of going to apply for HDB is generally accepted as a decent proposal..*SCOFF*
O wells, personally i think the tacky lines really get me the MOST. seriously its unbelievable what some people actually say/write. Oh you complete me (damn you Jerry Mcguire!) Oh you are the piece of my heart i misplaced..Oh i find myself in you..erm honey if you cannot express your love to me in simple, sincere words then i suggest you find yourself in someone else KAY...and copying movie lines hor...*shakes head* that one MAJOR DEMERIT points. Whats worse you ask? quoting N'sync songs... *OUCH*
So i'm really an ol' fashioned, simplistic, realistic b*tch.. i ask for sincerity and spontaniety..and one last point.. THE TWO OF YOU! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...with evil ploys to set me up.. ditch those foul thoughts NOW.. anyway your other victim will never agree.. i dare bet on it.. ¶ 8:07 AM
