So how readers celebrate Valentine's day?
I certainly celebrated with great fashion. Starting the day a date with my lecture. He gave us an extra class, today morning. Certainly, I will be sigh-ing around, since it's Saturday. Well, studies is more important. Anyway, after class, around afternoon, went to Mid Valley, with parents. Yea, lunch date with them at Pizza Hut. Oh, the pizza was nice, for the first time, I feel like eating Pizza Hut's pizza again.
Well, eventually, I dated with books today. I seriously shut myself inside The Borders and MPH.
And I even bought a new book. Name is Odyssey by Homer. Also another Greek classical literature. *oh why I didn't take English literature? I only read those I seriously love to read. I NEVER try to read e.g. The Pearl during my secondary school days (does anyone like to read The Pearl?)* I really love books. They give great knowledges.
Okay, met Sylvea, my sister and Sue Peng inside...MPH...well, they ditch me after 5 minutes of meeting and saying "Go get a life" before they fled LOL Man, everybody seems to reminding me of MOCK EXAM...I haven't started reading...and I buy books some more...plan to buy more by the way, next Friday...
Okay, even cow can eats grass, why can't I just read my books and forget about ...Mock....? (I can't find any relation between a cow eating a grass and reading books, mind me, you see)
Well, my next book list is to buy....To Kill A Mocking Bird. I think, frankly, is very amazing story. The author won Pulitzer Award. Is really like fighting racism...Maybe is a good way to remind our fellow Malaysian. Anyhow, this Friday....I WILL GET IT...Although I got 5 books waiting for me to read, not including my textbooks...Sorry honey, I will read, I will, promise.
Well, I saw...roses everywhere!!! Oh goodness' sake....Every couples were walking around with red roses. But amazingly, I realise, everyday is Valentine's *courtesy from Sharon*, and today doesn't have to celebrate. I thought she's right, but when she included why benefit those firms while they high up the price, when you can't get it cheaper during normal season? Dang! It's so true that, I wish to thank her right now. I saved money today. Saved from lunch, saved from flowers, saved from....from everything. Mua ha ha ha that's why I got myself books...(okay, okay, I know, I know...I'm trying to comfort myself, give me a break).
Oh well, later on, saw Genise. Accompany her walk around for a moment. Then...went to supermarket. I thought dad or mum is already there *cause they say they are going to the supermarket, 30 minutes ago, before I met Genise. Oh dear, I end up getting the things my parents needed.
You know...from morning till evening I were...walking...*you had no idea I walked my way to Borders, spend some hours, move to MPH then, finishing my line by walking back to Borders...You guys should know where is Borders and where is MPH in Mid Valley.
Aiya, compare price mah...(Yes, yes, sure, sure, Kian sam (stingy), whatever)
So tired...
Geez...that was how my Valentine's day. Who say you need a girlfriend or boyfriend?
I got my parents and books!
