Femme Fatale

First thing in the morning on the oh-so-commercialized V Day and I get a call from an ex-colleague.

"Girl! Tiga bouquet of flowers sampai office pagi ni lah. All for you! Then got one BIG teddy bear somemore, you know. Better still (she squeals), got one small present here also….look like those key boxes lah".

"Ha? Really arr? (rolls eyes). From who lah?"

"Dunno lah. But all very nice roses"

"You all keep lah. Teddy bear also you keep lah. I dowan. Happy Valentines ya!"

Now see here. I think Valentine’s Day is so fucking fake. And people who take advantage of this day are all fake. Absolutely fucking fakers. From MY point of view, here’s why:

1. Roses. I HATE roses. If someone’s really sincere about giving me flowers on V Day, then he should fucking find out what fucking flowers I like! And they are definitely NOT roses!
2. Teddy bears. Awww….so sweet! But I am not a little girl anymore. I have but ONE teddy bear in my room and I definitely do not need anymore. Besides, the Teddy in my room means a lot to me and no other teddies will ever be able to take it’s place. So, NO soft toys of any kind.
3. Location. Hello! How long have I left that company already! And still you send flowers there. What is this? If you’re interested in me, at least try to be a little more sincere to find out if I’m still there or not lah.
4. Timing. You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s to give me flowers or to tell me that you like me. There are 365 days in a year. What? Just to show me your sincerity, you buy me flowers on the day when it cost the most, izzit? *sigh*….

So, for all of you out there who spends ridiculous amount of money on roses (or whatever flowers there are) and chocolates and teddy bears, the so-talked-about V Day isn’t all that much to talk about after all.

After all, isn’t there a saying that goes "Everyday is Valentine’s Day" ?
