FOR THE DAY THAT USED TO BE MY FAVOURITE DAY OF THE YEAR

- Valentine, Not until one song was chosen randomly by my Winamp, I realized it was February. I looked at my watch and just realized it was the fourteenth. I smiled for several memories that popped out to my mind and went back to work -

Not until I took a shirt [1] from my clothing container, I realized it was 8.15 pm. Then, the past five Valentine days started to be rewind and fast forwarded in my brain. Nanyang Lake, King Edward VII Hall, Royal Park Hotel Buffet Dinner, Kate and Leopold, Prince George Park Home Cooked Dinner, MTV Asia Award, and Pengajian [2]. As I walked to the gym, I smiled knowing that this Valentine is not as "glorious" as the past six previous Valentine.

Not until I reached the gym, I saw a group of people whom I suspected did not celebrate the Valentine. And there I was, joining the group. I did not dare to assume whether they did not celebrate coz they did not have someone to celebrate with, or they just simply did not celebrate. But this year, Valentine was no longer as special as it was in the past five years. It is just a mere hallmark-made celebration day for me [3].

Not until I started the regular-but-always-extraordinary [4] night phone call, I began my Valentine Day[5] and indeed it was the most glorious Valentine for me.

Benoi Road, belok dikit ketemu deh...

[1] The shirt was a Scotland shirt, bought by someone when she went there for holiday.

[2] Trust me pal. Pengajian bukan anti-climax ko'.

[3] For those who celebrate, Happy Valentine. Hope you have a beautiful Valentine.

[4] "This kind of love that always feels extraordinary. The one that always keeps you fighting till the last drop. The one that you'll always remember for the rest of your life. When you win, you'll remember all the struggle and hardships, when you lose, you wont regret at all cause you fight and fight till the very last drop". - N, my cousin -

[5] It was the fifteenth, 00.15 am, so my Valentine started one day later.
