Valentine's Day

I am back again, for another post. Today's Valentine's Day, so Happy Valentine's Day! So what with Valentine's day? It's just another day for the businessman to "slaughter" those "not so sensible" couples out there... spending on the following items:

  1. Very expensive dinner.
  2. Very expensive gift.
  3. Very expensive flowers.
Hey, is that the ways to make a girl happy?

I am going to go through tonight all by myself.

Pity? Pathetic? Lonely?

Well, that's what I am feeling right now, but guess what? Thinking of those people being so willing to be "slaughtered", I guess I am so blissful... no need to spend $@#%@ on the above 3 ultra expensive items just to make the other one "happy as if on the moon" (why the moon and not jupiter or pluto?!?!)...

I think this can be work out very sensiblely, right? If I am going to have a girlfriend, maybe I would propose the following to her...:

e.g. if I were to spend RM500 (I MENTIONED AS AN EXAMPLE, but this guy sure is NUTS if his salary is like mine...) on this day, which one would she prefer:

OPTION 1: [Do it on 14 Feb]
  1. Dinner = RM196
  2. Flower = RM150
  3. Gift = RM270
OPTION 2: [Do it on any other day]
  1. Romantic dinner at restaurant = RM89 (or you can make yourself candle light dinner + buy a Vanessa May / Kenny G pirateVCD to play... so can make it like got world class violin players / saxophonist play music while u eat... the cost can be much lower)
  2. Movie + popcorn + etc = RM30 (cannot buy pirate vcd, must go for cinema...)
  3. Flower = RM60 (still the same bouquet of flower..)
  4. Gift = RM100 (can buy the same gift at great discount sales, keep it till anytime you want to present it...)
  5. Ask primary school children to help fold those darn little origami zoo dioramas or bottles of tiny paper-folded stars (can fold 10 bottles) = RM50
  6. RM69 for a very sexy lingerie (sure buy during mega sales lah...), just like this one ...
  7. RM100 cash for her...so that she can either go shopping and buy anything she wants or bring that forward to the next new year loh... :P
Did you say I am not romantic? uh hohoho.... I sincerely believe any sensible girl would pick number two... It's so romantic... you gotta enjoy first class dinner, enjoyable movie

BUT... everyone is insensible during Valentine's Day... duh...

So, I guess my Option 2 won't work gua...:( ... what do you girls out there think?



NOTE: the author suddenly realise why he is still alone during the last 20+ valentine's days...

2 Comments:

  • Option two seems to be wiser =) But maybe do a day before Valentine or a day after Valentine. Then on Valentine's day, just go for normal dinner, so won't be alone on Valentine's day.

    Excitedly Yours.
