As I passed by Petaling Street, the ChinaTown in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, I saw lots of flowers for sale. It's Valentine's day!
Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but I must say some colour combination of those wrappers are really ugly.
But they're cheap.. teehee!
Time to make big money, lady florist!
Happy Florist on Happy V-Day!

History and My Story of Valentine’s Day
Category: Love is Lust 0 comments
The saying of “Give and Take Take and Give” was running wild in my mind as I dig deep my pocket. First, I received money from the red packets given during the Chinese New Year. Then, I get to hold the cash for a few blinks before the money is channeled to my V-day celebration.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not an issue to me and my partner, but I just need to know how this day comes about and the reason why we celebrate it.
There is a story behind it.
It came from ancient Rome, and began when a cruel emperor who was so desperate for Roman men to join his military leagues. Instead of finding ways to attract soldier boys, he thought to himself and canceled all the marriages and engagements in the country. All this was based on a reason – it was hard for men to leave their love ones to the battlefield.
As rules are meant to be broken, young couples went for secret wedding to go against it. Thanks to a good priest like Saint Valentine, they have someone to perform marriage for them.
The Emperor got to know about it later and put Valentine behind bars. He was sentenced to be beaten to death and have his head chopped off.
But while in prison, Valentine fell in love with a jailor's daughter, who visited him during his confinement. Before his death on the 14th day of February, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine". In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine.
Sad case, now I know we are actually celebrating the death of Valentine.

Where No One Tattoo The Love
Category: Love is Lust, Think A Thought 0 comments
I've been listening to Alicia's No One quite frequent in this few weeks on the radio. Mr. DJ tends to play the song for like every hour. Well indeed, everyone listen to no one but themselves nowadays.
I guess I don't listen to anyone too because I talk to myself and listen to my instinct all the time.
Is it a great song advice to listen to? Yes? Not really?
Since I like the Tattoo song from Jordin Sparks as well, I will try to make a story out of it to further explain my point. Ok, it's a brand new song that inspires many people. Not the song but the story behind it. Love to say this, it's an actual proof that a 17-year old girl could be tattooed with an American Idol title at anytime if she sounds confident and great in her vocal. Of course, not to forget, with the help of a million voters.
See, sometimes we do need help from the others to accomplish something. In the process, you need to listen to them and turns out their thoughts are significant to us. But my point is not supposed to look like this.
When you dedicate a question to your friends, "What do you think of my dress? Lovely, isn't it?" or "I don't really care how go about it, but I do think it's good" An intention to ignore those feedbacks will only make them to hate you.
You don't feel good if you shut your mind with your own opinion and ignoring the rest. Everyone hates you. You might not love to hear this, but love is really what you need. The question is.. Where is the love?
Coincidently, it's my favorite song. Though you sang really well, Fergie, you need to thank to your other members in Black Eye Peas for their ideas and contribution. Without them, there's no you.
Love the people around you, and they shall love you in return.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
How lovely if I were to tell you there's a song clip herewith combining all the 3 songs I mentioned above. It's pretty obvious I wanted to put a linkage between those songs :)
Kudos to Boyceavenue. Love you your voice, and you people out there!

His Marriage and Its 20 years
Category: Love is Lust 6 commentsSince the last printout on crazy marriage stuff, today I received an email from the same colleague again with similar jokes on marriage. Well I can’t really provide any thoughts on this as I’m still single. But let’s hope you are not in the position of this wife or husband in the following case. Marriage should have a happy ending, as likely in most classic fairy tales.
A beautiful view of marriage life
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.
She goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room. 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'
The husband looks up from his coffee, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 18?' he asks solemnly. 'Yes I do' she replies.
The husband pauses; the words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the garden?'
'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued.. 'Do you remember when he showed the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to jail for 20 years?'
'I remember that too' she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, 'I would have been released today!'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The moral of the story, if reality really differs from fairy tales, just pray that someday your prince charming will run over by his horse, or your snow white will just choked and die off while eating Mandarin orange.
Don't take this seriously though, as Chinese is approaching new year. Let the craze begin!

Guess, Amber Chia and Christmas?
Category: Love is Lust 1 commentsThis is Pavilion - located at Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, West Malaysia. I would say both Pavilion and Suria KLCC are identical in terms of their color scheme.. except for the white Christmas tree.
Is Pavilion dreaming of a white Christmas..
As you can see there are lights on the tree, and stairs are situated along the tree, all the way to the top. For certain hour, the stairs will be occupied with a group singing Christmas carol. How lovely.
Wait a sec, the title of this post will not able to meet its content if I proceed to crap about tree and shopping malls.
So let's meet Amber Chia to make more sense.
Hot Guess boutique. Amber's here..
Slizzing hot. But looks cool to me..
Double doze of heat..
Woman or shoes? Shoe or women?
Hello and hi, please move your head away..Marry me Merry Christmas Amber..
White Christmas? Well, some people prefer black here.

I planned to take a break to have some fun.
But my leave application got rejected without a reason.
I was pissed off and then I saw this on my desk.
Who the hell printed this?
I'm not taking leave to get married.
No worries, boss.. (I think it's him) Tehe!
Actually, I wanted to rest at home and watch some crazy reality shows!
