Valentine

Once again, it is very much around that time when I am embroiled with the useless thoughts of wat I wished for is reality and all the idealism of truth and love come rushin back into my minute brain. Yes, its the time when small boys dig deep into their pockets to buy flowers for their so beloved. (Notice I use boys, not men. - Boys will be boys afterall) Wat is this stupid obsession or 'tradition' of giving flowers on this day? This day is obviously Valentine's Day, in case some dimwit still can't comprehend wat I'm saying. So anyway, why issit that people want to buy flowers, when the prices of the flowers are so inflated that only at an inflation rate of 5% per annum for 7 years would you acheive this price. Is it to show their love for the girl? If it is decreed or generally accepted that only via this outward show of 'love' does the guy proof his love, then I think it is stupid. It makes things so materialistic, and this day which was meant to be special, becomes so commercialised that there is little significance in it anymore. Why the willingness in spending so much fpr a measely stalk of flowers? If u love the girl that much, den let her know it everyday; no need for elaborate get ups, no need for expensive flowers, no need for all this pomp and fancy.

Then here comes the hypocrisy of it all. I have just bought flowers at exorbiant prices for my female project group members and haha, oh my, wat a waste of money. hahaha. Actualoly thats because I have project meeting today so I was thinking, why not? Then one of them tells me that she isn't coming!!!! Damn. I have to go over later to pass it to her cos if I were to bring it home to pass to her tomorrow, then I'll be killed by my parents haha.
