Valentine Day

Today is the first Valentine Day aka Friendship Day since I started going back to school. It had been quite a different yet enjoyable day for me. Not what you think it should be (cause I do not have bf yet). The difference is how I spent my whole day.

Well, I can't remember how this day past when I was still studying as it was ages ago. I remember that in Secondary 1, my best buddy made roses with ribbon and gave all of us. That was my 1st ever Valentine Day cum Friendship Day. I learnt to make the rose from her then and made for my colleagues last year. It was a pity that this best buddy of mine choose not to keep in contact with any of us from Secondary School. I do missed her. Yet if I ever bumped into her, I won't know what to say. It'll never like before. So I just hope that all is well for her.

As for the past few year that I was working, I did help my dad bought flowers and past to him. When he came home with the flowers for my mum, I appeared surprised. LOL. Shh... It's a secret! Hee!

Back to topic. Hmm... How I spent the day?

Had early morning psychology lecture at 0830 hour so I took my staff bus. Decided to alight at another place to try another route. After lecture, went back to SBS to wait for Michelle who went to pass cookies to her bf. After which, she went to SAC to collect a bouquet of roses as she had to deliver to a hall. We escort her as she made her delivery and I saw a Poly friend along the way. Actually, it's because she doesn't know the way and she asked KQ who is staying in hall to lead the way. Caren & I just tagged along.

After the delivery, we went to the ADM library which is nearby. 1st time there. Got DVDs there. There are horror movies, cartoons, etc. Quite recent shows. Cool. But the place was dead quiet that you might hear a pin drop.

Went for lunch and there I saw another friend. Thought she was studying but she said she was working there. Time have changed. Nothing happened after as we just went to the library and went for our practical class at 1430 hour.

During the practical, we had a 90 minutes incubation. At first I thought we would have nothing to do so I thought of doing tutorial. Yet, Michelle wanted to go to SAC again and Caren asked if we could go and take a look and off we went. Her CCA room was filled with flowers. Pretty messy but the place was filled with the sweet scent of flowers.

KH, KQ's friend told her that there were wine tasting in the auditorium so since we got a long break, off we go to the auditorium. Out of 4 of us, only Michelle and I took a wine glass each. Since Michelle wanted to taste, I thought I follow too. Just taste, won't do any harm. Well, we tried a few, yet most or I should say all, we also don't know what we are taking. LOL. Well, every tiny bit of wine that I got, I shared with Caren and KQ who do not have any wine glass. Each of us take sips just that I took slightly more than them. Michelle whom never asked them to try from her glass, went pink after like 5 or 6 different wine. She still asked us if we wanted to try any others. We called it a quit then stopping her from drinking further. Anyway, this is my 2nd time trying wine.

Since there were still lots of time, we stay around look at the photos, at the how the person made a bear hugging a heart, etc. My friends was wondering if we could get the balloons and we dared not move down to ask as we were standing in the middle of the flight of stairs that was going up. When they decided to move down, yet they do not dare to ask. I just stand there and see how the bear and heart was folded. I hope I can remember. Then somebody came to ask the guy if they could have the balloons and the guy made for them. There were like 3 of them and we only know that we could request for one after they asked. Thus, we have to wait very long.

By the time, Michelle got hers made (she asked for a flower), it's time for us to go back. Caren and KQ still wanted the balloons so they asked Michelle to go back to the lab 1st. LOL. I also thought of going back then but they said since I waited with them for so long, I may as well just get 1 before I leave and I gotten the bear on the heart. Then I went back to the lab with Michelle. I think we were the only 4 students there who had gotten the balloons as most people do not know that they could get the balloons. But during the incubation time, I saw quite a number of my coursemates at the auditorium tasting wine.

Well, after the lab, Michelle helped me hold the balloon and in the end, I snap a photo of her with the balloon. LOL. When I got home, I placed the balloon on my parents' bed and sms my dad to show him the balloon and told him to keep quiet so that it would be a surprise for my mum.

When my mum got home, she asked where it came from and guess what! My dad said that I mms him the picture and asked if he want to get for my mum and he asked me to get for him. LOL. So another secret between my dad and I. Shh... Hee. And my mum loved the balloon. When I tried to snatch away, she would grab it or tickle me or hit me to get away from it. She said I could take photo of it but not take away! Wahahaa...

My dad also managed to get a bouquet of roses for my mum despite his busy work. He even got a smaller bouquet for me. He's so funny. Yesterday, it's 'everybody's birthday' according to the lunar calendar (ren ri) and he sms me early in the morning just to say 'happy birthday'. LOL.

Enough of words. Didn't want to write so much but still... Anyway, here are the pictures that are more appealing to the eyes.

Balloon I gotten from the auditorium which had became my mum's pressie.

Flowers for my mum.

All in all, it's been a great day for me!
