V-Day.. Crap or the real deal?
-
To each their own... It may be a day where love shows and grows... It may also be a day where doubts show and misunderstandings grow... Because to each their own....

to me, v day is another day in the calender. i don't need a special occasion to show love. what's more, the gesture of love will lose the element of surprise.Originally posted by Farmer Brown:As we all know.. the V day is coming.. for many, its a time to renew your vows spend loads of money to express your love and maybe hopefully profess your undyin feelings for that special someone.
For others, its a time to earn money from the suckers above. Strangely, no matter how many times we discuss this, the whole world still goes ahead and gets cheated.
and for some (ME!!) its a time to reflect our loneliness and lack of "luck" haha.. come on ppl.. share your thoughts.. -
Hiyah Rad : )
Why dun u start making a diff?
Dun book a table, cook wif ur girl/guy (for simplicity's sake, I'll take u for a guy since ur nick is Rad).
Plan a menu together, incl. an appetiser (it's called "pupu" in Hawaii
), a main course, & dessert. If u can't cook, all the better, go do some research @ the library & photocopy the recipes, or look online together.
Then, go shopping for the ingredients (dun forget the wine, v. impt). Grocery shopping can be a v. fun experience Then, go crazy in the kitchen *laffs*
There : ) This way, u haf fun before (the planning), during (preparation) & after (thinking abt the madness in the kitchen & laffing abt it) for V Day.
Haf a great time!
RPOriginally posted by Rad:This year vdae like damn crap. I dunnoe why, seems like everyone and every company is selling out. First MTV, then all the other companies. Today I even saw a McDonalds Vdae thing. What the hell is wrong with Singaporeans. Everything also much cash-in till like that. -
Uh huh.. especially if he didn't fork out $200 on a decent size bouquet. Ahaha..Originally posted by Devil1976:To each their own... It may be a day where love shows and grows... It may also be a day where doubts show and misunderstandings grow... Because to each their own....
I mean.. i see him everyday when i go home. We cook, clean and do the laundry together. I really don't need a special day to do something special when every weekend is! -

Yeah, know what you mean. Then again, it's one of those things you do because you want to, rather than because you have to, so who needs a reason?Originally posted by Lingos:Uh huh.. especially if he didn't fork out $200 on a decent size bouquet. Ahaha..

Yeah. I be a guy. Last year I baked cookies for my now ex and topped it up with a rose. Simple and sweet.
This year Im unattached. But got target A close friend of mine, which is a bit ackward. But maybe something in the name of friendship. Heh Heh. *evil grin*to me, v day is another day in the calender. i don't need a special occasion to show love. what's more, the gesture of love will lose the element of surprise.
True -

Exactly Dude!!Originally posted by Gedanken:Yeah, know what you mean. Then again, it's one of those things you do because you want to, rather than because you have to, so who needs a reason?
Oh.. heheh.. I know. It's expected of you, but why bother with one day when you can show it any other day.
I bought my boy a pair of Tsubis (Aust label, about A$300), cos he was wearing second hand jeans from his friends which are daggy for ages. And it wasn't for an occasion, it was just because i saw them. He pays for a lot of the groceries and bills everyday cos he doesn't want me to stress bout money cos i get paid much less. So i dont' expect anything else on Valentines' Day.
Plus I would hate to fight for room among lovely dovey sickly couples at a restaurant. Heheh. -
Oh geesh... everyone is talking about Vday being the real deal!
I say Boo! Haha... its full of crap!
Anyone for a game of craps?
-
wow.. seems this forum has brought out plenty of ppl who are well against the idea of celebrating romance on a day where you're supposed to celebrate love...
anyone out there really celebrating love? with family? friends? less fortunate??
or is anyone out there who is willing to really stand up and say V-day is a day for romance only... and MUST be celebrated...anyone at all??? -
FB, I don't think people are against it, but they're saying that the other 364 days of the year should be no different. Also, the commercialisation of Valentine's Day really leaves a bad taste, and justifiably so. The implicit message almost becomes, "Buy a gift for your loved one today - we need the money".
Does that exclude romance on this day? I don't think so - in contrast to the sentiment above, why should this day be unique for its lack of romance? Hey, for myself, I just paid an obscene amount to send 2 dozen roses and a bottle of wine to my girlfriend. She's in Melbourne at the moment and we're going to have a webcam drinks session on Saturday. Like I said, it's not so much what I want as what I know she wants that's the key element here.
Lingos: yeah, know what you mean - damned if I'm going to be fighting my way through crowds of couples doing their Eng and Chang impersonation! -
hmm yea... k that's what i meant...Originally posted by Gedanken:FB, I don't think people are against it, but they're saying that the other 364 days of the year should be no different. Hey, for myself, I just paid an onscene amount to send 2 dozen roses and a botle of wine to my girlfriend. She's in Melbourne at the moment and we're going to have a webcam drinks session on Saturday.
Anyway, the point is that the commercialisation of Valentine's Day really leaves a bad taste, and justifiably so. The implicit message almost becomes, "Buy a gift for your loved one today - we need the money".

and yea.. it's quite horrible how ppl exploit everything nowadays..from v day to xmas to every single thing la... -
anyway gendy... i think its quite innovative.. having a web cam drinking session... haha have fun dude
-
Thanks, FB! I can't take credit for it, though - it was my girlfriend's idea. Anyway, I'll have more fun than I did trying to set up the damned webcam and getting it working!
-
wahahaha
chey...
sigh.. think i'll end up eating dinner with my family.. -
Oh christ.. no offence.. especially in Singapore, where the ex thinks it's a fantastic idea to wear the similar tops. Apparently it's cute and romantic to be conjoined twins... ahaha.. no better way to show you're together. eeeeEkkk..Originally posted by Gedanken:Lingos: yeah, know what you mean - damned if I'm going to be fighting my way through crowds of couples doing their Eng and Chang impersonation!
Ged, let me know next time cos my girlfriend manages Select Flowers in Altona. -
Oh God, not the cutesy thing! A couple isn't a sponsored team event, fer chrissakes!
Oh, great timing, Lingos! Seriously, thanks for the tip - it'll be useful once we get back to Melbourne.
