Simply Me: Be My Valentine!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!

Hahahaha....

A Valentine affair

First thing first... I just want to get this out of my chest. Whoever who said that 'we don't need a V-day because everyday is special with you bla bla bla' are people finding excuses to reason why they are not celebrating V-day.

It doesn't always have to be the most special romantic candlelight-balloons-teddy-flowers-roses-expensive-half-the-salary-gifts kind of over-the-top celebration.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUSTIFY HOW YOU CELEBATE V-DAY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES. It is not a competition. -_-

Grand extravagant gesture celebration, awesomely good for you. Very lawa for you la. If you celebrate in a more modest way, well... it's okay what!!! Just celebrate it!!!

"Everyday is special V-day with you" is ideal in the perfect world of TV but ridiculously impossible in real life, not even David-and-Victoria-Beckham or Brangelina possible. Come on, don't make the rest of us feel like losers here!

How can every single day be a special-Valentine-tinglingness for anyone?!!?? Bullpoop!

All I do everyday is go to work, stuck in jam, try to park in the jungle of concrete mess, come back from work, traffic jam, jaga anak, quick shower, try to get baby to sleep at least by 9pm, cram in study session then sleep.

After all the slavings, honestly I just want the bed.

*breath in breath out*

Yup, just the bed for the physically-drained me.

We don't even have to 'talk about our days' because everyday is frigging the same routine!!! Goodness~~

Well.... Unless you just started dating. Or hormonally imbalance. But honey, let me tell you this - that the glittering honeymoon phase is a period. It will be over after few months/years of togetherness or when you get married or after you have a child. Don't get me wrong here. You will still love one another but once you came out from your cloud nine of fluffy loves and your feet touched the firm hard surface of the earth and resumed the normality of your work/study/routine, the butterflies in the stomach feeling each time your arms brush against each other and the heart throbbing out of your chest feeling each time your lips touch, will be soon, if not fast, be replaced by just a mere sensation of touch. Hahaha. Heck, there will even be the occasional times you feel the need to restrain from killing each other. Blame it on the stresses of life.

It won't be Hollywood kisses everyday. It will however, be replaced with a warmer glow of sparkle.

Like a big teddy bear hug. A sense of belonging. A sense of familiarity.

So V-day is the day we all go out and fall in love all over again! And celebrate the love that held us together all these years. Celebrate each other!

Let the sparks or fire or candle or gas or engine oil (whatever laaaa) gleam back into one's love life!

SO HOW CAN ONE SAY BLATANTLY THAT THEY DON'T FREAKING NEED V-DAY! PLUS, IT IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DAY IN THE YEAR! SO YA, I'M OFFENDED.

Hahahaha...

A day to throw away the monotonous routine out to the window and dress up and go out for celebration. Hell yeah!!! Sometimes you need all these "lebih" make-believe celebrations to make our lives a little bit more gala, to make us feel a little bit more princessy, to make us feel like we also have the fairy tale lives, to pretend we also have a small bit of that Hollywood lifestyle, to find the sparkling tza tza szu and let the romance sizzles, to remind us of our courtship days and of our dating lives and simply rejoice each other...

True, it is "just another day". BUT.... Every frigging living day of your alive day will just be another day, if you keep up this poor attitude to life. Isn't that right?

So, if you take it to your heart and desire to make it different and make it spectacular, then it won't be just another day! IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A SPECIAL DAY BECAUSE YOU MADE IT SPECIAL!!!

And because it is Valentine's day... ❤️❤️❤️

Of course it doesn't have to be 14th February. Of course you can have Valentine's day everyday *coughs if you are trying to dry up your partner's money coughs*. If you insist.

So.. Okay...

Our valentine this year... First with Baby Maya!!!! It's not fireworks-super-exclusive-kind-of-celebration but it was celebrated with love and there was fireworks after all (it was also Chap Goh Mei aka the last day of CNY aka the Valentine day in lunar year) What an auspicious mark on the calendar!

I thought we are no longer in the rose-giving group of people but then, Dear Hubby gave me a beautiful red rose and chocolates bouquet. ❤️ And I was really pleasantly surprised! Really I was! *smiling like a happy fool* Baby Maya was holding the bouquet so it looked like both of them presented the bouquet to me.. *teeth smiles*

And then we had a simple dinner over at Bella Italia, my favourite Italian eatery in town.
