Valentine's Day 2006 & All the Lovey-Dovey Stuff!
-
i prefer De Stout...Originally posted by pufferfish_79:The De Beers is a good one
-
not in a bad mood...
just that i hate to see commercialism, turn into a mad grab for money, which turns a blind eye to atrocities, which ends up helping the perpetrators of atrocities... in order to grab more money...
it happened with diamonds...
and it's happening now with the GOP in the US with oil.. -
too old for it liao la..
-
Rumours has it dat our lecturer is dateless & sore.. we've got a paper @ 0930h dat morning.

somemore i never do her tutorial she told me nvm,just copy answer can liao.. -

you know what's sad?
diamonds are not that rare, not that valuable relative to the rest of the gems.. and the atrocities that went on boggles the mind...
children soldiers who are drugged out on heavy drugs, dealing out mutilation and murder to anyone and everyone... with commanders who have names like Queen Chop Hands who went into peaceful villages and carried out their things like Operation No Living Thing...
and they were tolerated and allowed to menace and cause murder and mayhem until a story in the press threatened to mar the image of the diamond as a "token of love"
even "blood diamond" got watered down to "conflict diamonds"
and there was evidence that Osama used this very path to finance his operations...
now, everything is "legit" but hey.. they're still fighting, the neighbouring countries where the "legit diamonds" come from are producing about 1000% more than their own diamond fields can...
so.. find out about diamonds.. don't give your loved one something that is in reality, a sham..Originally posted by Kan_i:yes i do agree with you there. But you know theres always exploitation when money is at hand. -
Used to behave like any other gals, loving all those lovey-dovey stuffs..
Not sure since when, no longer into flowers and sweet nothings..
Somehow certain parts in me, turn immune against those stuffs.
Still the old saying, Valentine will be yours daily when we meet the rite partner.
You can have whole world of sweet-lovey dovey talk/ gifts, somehow if faith and love is absent from .... Everything is nothing. -
Working...
-
so will i be..
oh well..
songs
for my valentine
give
the game away
in rhyme
i make you mine
sing all
i cannot say...
-
I will be staying home, packing up.
Haven't celebrated Valentine's Day for a loooooong loooooong time but just like to kaypoh and be excited about stuff, just for the fun of it, just to chou4 chou4 re4 nao4! -
Come to think of it, I've never really celebrated Valentine's Day as I hate the crowd and commercialism of it all.....it's really not romantic on V'day with the crowd every where really
-
That's true. Things are sold at inflated prices too! And there's nothing romantic about queuing up and getting all hot and bothered, waiting for stuff. And, I hate crowds!Originally posted by elindra:Come to think of it, I've never really celebrated Valentine's Day as I hate the crowd and commercialism of it all.....it's really not romantic on V'day with the crowd every where really
But, oh well, just wanna discuss this for the sake of discussing it!
And, like what I said, I think Valentine's Day should be the day the couple first met, to commemorate their Anniversary. -
I think if you're in love, everyday is Valentine's Day
-
hmmm i must be missing something. Naturally i assumed Valentines day was supposed to spent alone?Originally posted by elindra:Come to think of it, I've never really celebrated Valentine's Day as I hate the crowd and commercialism of it all.....it's really not romantic on V'day with the crowd every where really
Yes it would be lovely that each day is vday. -
Mercifully, I managed to avoid every single valentine's day since 1997 ....
this year shall be no exception ... it's springbreak by feb 14th ... so school's out ! ...
-
If scared of vday cos of the inflated prices, then wait until the chinese vday qi xi celebrate also can

I find valentines' day very intimidating leh
I like pink, mind you
but I believe there is a psychological study somewhere that says something about the debilitating effect of overload of pink
[Hey I found a link on it http://www.colormatters.com/body_pink.html]
its just so DEMANDING on everyone to LOVE to be AFFECTIONATE to SHOW to EXPRESS to POUR OUT ... feel a little bit assaulted by it
BUT I think it is a good day for couples who are too shy to be demonstrative to find an 'excuse' to be sweet to each other at least for that 1 day a year. I knew a young couple working in factories, girl was very sweet, hubby err I find rather inconsiderate generally. But every year she will look forward to Valentine's Day cos he will take her to a nice place to share an expensive plate of a little something. I still remember how she gushed about her 'chee cheong fun' at some hotel or another and I feel, oh well.. it is good that there is a day like this, that can make her happy. -

I guess it's the company that counts. -
Yeah I remember (it was like abt 10 years ago la) when she told us, she was so happy and we were like HOW COME you didnt order something else?! Then she said it was too expensive. AND they shared the plate of chee cheong fan. The girl's really very sweet, to save money they will share 1 packet of mixed vege rice for dinner.. and she will eat like 1/3 or 1/4 and leave everything else to him.. and he will wolf it down never asking her if she would like more or not.Originally posted by elindra:Chee Chong Fun from a hotel?

I think it's pretty typical of guys when it comes to food. Like my SO, he tends to start eating from my plate after he finishes his food if he likes it. -
Sigh my hubby is a SMALL eater lor. it's embarassing to take him to a buffet.Originally posted by elindra:Now I know why those factory worker girls are all so skinny
