My First Valentines
Mm…Valentines…today’s the V-day….and of course, it falls as usual on the 14th of Feb. Should I say its a season filled with lots of love and a time to indulge in a love affair? Well, up to this age, I must confess that I don’t have any particular idea of how this annual lovey thing came about, nor did I google on St. Valentines. Today, it would be my first Valentines’ since I got attached to that someone (hehe, a little embarrassed). Before that, Valentines’ had always been part of my wishing list….you know it, as usual, girls always dream of her Mr. Romantic having prepared up something special (the romantic tricks must be put to good use!!) enough to melt her and sets enough memories to last for decades to come (okay, that’s a little exaggerated). Okay, I still have it on my list, thanks to the influence of Korean dramas n cute love bites from ‘we got married’….
Now, back from the fairytale-syndrome-like part…is my part of the story. As you would have guessed it right, I’m in a single space of my own, still sort of ‘trapped’ in the campus. Perhaps making the decision to stay was a wrong one, I could hardly function without people around, and my plans were not even going on schedule. Okay, you can put the blame on my weak attempt not to watch ‘We got married’. But God!! They were too cute and nice…aww….I was totally envious of Shin Ae (Alex is way perfect!!> there were any messages for me. So I(jumped over the drain) looked back at him and tried some small talk before he left, like “you’re not working today?” and erm…”thank you”. Couldn’t have continued much, I was gonna ask him bout his valentines’ when…ehem, remembered he just broke up with his girl not long ago.(I know it’s getting long, but I did mention it is going to be a story right? )
After the goodbyes, I looked at the bouquet. Man, I was sooo happy I think I looked really foolish smiling and talking to the teddy bears and the roses. I counted, there were nine of them; what does is represent? What’s the secret message of the flowers? God, they were really nice. I was over the moon early in the morning. I couldn’t take it off my sight, and were cuddling them for almost half an hour, posing it for ‘photo shots’. I was thinking I won’t be able to study again today just by playing with the flowers.(anticipating another day gone T-T~~) This wasn’t supposed to be since I don’t have a date…mm..
The afternoon was spent making a valentines’ slide show for him. I don’t know why but my lappy just seem to be trying on holding back my work. It was totally showing me the grandpa kind of tantrums, lagging now and then, not showing all the internet windows, not opening medias till after 5 minutes…after hours, I managed to put all my words in the slide shows, and yes, I forgot the word effects won’t go playing on the phone. Phuh, after much attempt, I gave up and sent it to my baby anyway.
Basically my first Valentines’ passed off really quickly, it’s hardly 2 hours to 15th Feb. 2009 now, the day after my first Valentines’. After cancelling plans to see my busy-working-1st career bf, I thought it would be just another ordinary day for me. But it turned out that apart from the normal no-people-can’t function thingy, I was quite overwhelmed. I would have expected a posted present but totally not flowers!! It was my first time receiving such a big bouquet, and it was his first time sending it too. ^^ It was heart-warming, and I truly felt the effort he took to make me melt. Although we couldn’t spend the day together, his heart has travelled miles to send his love to me. It’s a kind of feeling I can’t explain. As in my MMS to him, “you know you are in love when you can’t put it in words…” As I turn too see the roses, I still have my smile on. And as for the roses, they’re still laughing at my foolish face.-The End-
