with love your valentine

i was indeed fascinated by the magnificant pink and purple balloons admist those heart shaped manila cards. it was a day to celebrate and to appreciate your special one. Those unromantic homosapiens would be boasting that its just another day of the year. Some claimed that its just a day to waste money. It's true. come on....a dozen of roses would cost at least RM150. Food tasted bad and i believed that a lot of XY would have their wallet bleed so profusely until they cry in pain. i was reading on the origin of valentine's day this morning. it all started in Rome since 269 AD when the Emperor Claudius was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off.

Ok... so what if saint valentine got beheaded with an axe or a sword? nobody is going to remember how he died. at least, i wouldn't. you can just call me evil... heartless.... I wouldn't want to think of a dead priest on these special day. i would rather think of how lovely and caring my prince charming is.... duh.....

now now.........what i did on the day when that pitiful priest got beheaded 1740 years ago? hmm, we had a lovey dinner in simply fish.. it was not that romantic that i thought it would be. there was no place in that restaurant. we had no choice but to sit OUTSIDE. i am spoilt. ya... i am always spoilt and i hated the idea of celebrating val's day without AC. at least... i get endless supply of AC in my hostel room. it was so hot that i drenched my nicest dress. oh gosh!!!!
we ordered a set meal. it was printed in the menu ' lobster for 2'. wow....... i was being silly again. i thought that we would be served 2 lobsters. in the end, we got a tiny lobster. that pathetic lobster was as small as the one that kf reared in his aquarium 1 year ago before he threw that mollusca into a pot of boiling water to alleviate the exam stress that was building up in him. arghh...

so, try your best not to have your dinner in town on val's day. those restaurants are just waiting to behead you, just like how that priest got beheaded. please please.... keep that awful head of yours attached.
