Chapter Sixty-Six: Cupid got arrested for his nudity

I can only remember the last two valentine’s I had. I was secondary 3 and what I did that year was…uh, nothing really.

I remember last year’s one clearly though. I spent it with Bernard, Michelle and Sophia. I actually asked Grace out but alamak! Got rejected. But I had a great time.

Now, Michelle’s attached.

Sophia’s attached…smile girl.

And Bernard’s…rock-climbing.

So fast how things move on eh?

This year was suppose to be something special. A double date with David, Shearen and Abby but alas one thing led to another, emotions snowballed out of hand and the thing didn’t go ahead because the absence of one person.

David still beckoned me to go with someone else but I refused. After all, just because I’m alone doesn’t mean I can ruin D & S’s valentines. Anyway, hoope they had a great valentine.

So like, JC was great, everyone was going around giving things here and there, chocolates, brownies, cards, hugs and kisses and stuff and I felt like an ass for not bringing anything. Will do next year. Thank you especially to Lynette. I don’t realise how much I miss her sometimes.

After school, went to the gym for a bit. My first time, mind you.

Then I went home, changed, went out. Went to Tampines to search for Anna Sui’s FOF but heck, they didn’t have it. Lugged my ass over to Raffles City and heck, they sold out. THEN, I lugged my ass over to Bugis and they had it. But they didn’t have the bag but I bought it anyway.

 THEN, I lugged my ass to Paya Lebar, took a bus to Parkway, then lugged my ass over to Joo Chiat (guess who lives there).

She liked it, She’s happy, I’m happy. We’re all happy.

I didn’t mind that I spent it “alone”, certain things at the end of the day neutralises all effects of emotional despair. To know that all effort and time sacrificed has culminated in a smile is worth more to me than the money that has flown away.

Pay worth 2 days is nothing to what you’ve given me, for your support and for really being a friend. Guilt is nothing you should harbor but rather pride for yourself for being wonderful to everyone.

I didn’t need a hug, a kiss, or a minute staring into your eyes (I didn’t get any of that btw) all I needed was your shelter, your hand to guide and the very smile that is beautiful “in my eyes”.

Who cares if it’s only in my eyes, one person is enough to make the world believe.

And I believe that you’re wonderful.

Totally wonderful, hope you love it like I love you and you love me.

Wonderful.
