Ok,I'd readily admit that this post is long overdue but still, with a flurry of activity (and a good dose of laziness) over the past few days, I claim official pardon for this late post...
Valentine's Day conversation (with a friend whom I shall christen L)
L: So you have any plans for tonight? It's Valentine's Day!
Me: No, not quite, no date.Lol!
L: Sure or not? Shouldn't you be out with some hot babe tonight?
Me: Nahz, I'm just came back a few hours back and am currently resting before heading out for a Bachelors' Night Out...Yeah, that's about it...
That rest, is history not worth mentioning...
What started off eons ago as the execution of a priest (St Valentine), who refused to abide a law instituted by the Roman Emperor Claudius II that young men remain single, has morphed into an excuse for cheery flowers, over-stuffed teddy bears and ridiculous couples dressed in ridiculous colour-coordinated outfits.
Oh yeah, you know I'm right, newspapers start to publicise the merger and acquisition of the Social Development Unit (SDU) by the Social Development Service (SDS) as if it just won the Merger of The Century and was the miracle of this recession. Oh, how parents in Singapore are catching up to their counterparts in China in the Curious Case of Match-making. Wasn't that The Fad last millenium? Or was it Fort-millenium?
DeeJays Jamie Yeo and Glenn Ong became the Divorced Couple of the Year while Brad Pitt is going gaga all over the new and improvised Jennifer Aniston in a potential Makeup Couple of the Year (Divorce and Remarried - Reloaded).
Or pity Ugly Betty, who just needed a good nerd to love her (and at least 15 episodes of Extreme Makeover, make it an entire series). When exactly are Christopher Lee and Fann Wong going to get married anyway? They've already done a reel version of it. Arh...reel life VS real life? Apparently, not everyone's heart is capable of going on and on and on like Celine Dion's Energiser operated one.
In case you're wondering, I don't have a cesspit where my heart should be. I do believe in love, at least in the screens and I can do romantic I suppose but no pouncing about the moon or dancing amongst the stars.
Its really strange when you think of the kind of movies Hollywood releases during Valentine's. So Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are still at it, battling it out in an ongoing war which has been repeating itself for a few weeks now (they really must hate each other) while Andy Lau is discovering that even in this day and age, not everyone takes to the idea of pre-nupital contracts, even if they come from an industry veteran who should probably be halfway into retirement and signing up for the governments' HDB leasing initiative although he probably owns tonnes of properties in Hong Kong.
