Valentine's Day 2009...
... was a non-event for AstroBanana. The lovely Astro Girl did not receive any roses. Or tulips for that matter. There was no candlelight dinner. Nor did they take a romantic walk in the park. (They did take a not-so-romantic walk in several parks yesterday though.) In fact, AstroBanana did not meet at all today. Whoa. So where is the love?
Well, the ever-thrifty Astro Girl ahbors the idea of spending money unnecessarily on V-Day indulgences and letting merchants profit from over-hyped commercialism. While he doesn't mind spending the money, Eric Banana has no interest in joining hordes of couples in having meaningless overpriced dinners at fancy restaurants. To him, every day is V-Day. He does not need to wait for that one special day each year just to be nice to Astro Girl. Actually, the real reason why AstroBanana did not even meet to dine at the foodcourt today was because Eric Banana was way too tired - after the high tea yesterday, he went on to have dinner and sing karaoke with Ee Huei and friends as it was the latter's birthday in two days' time. Eric Banana only got home slightly past 2 a.m. AstroBanana will meet tomorrow instead.
During an online conversation this afternoon...
Eric Banana (wanting to be sure): Dear ah, are you sure you don't want any flowers?
Astro Girl (in a neutral tone): Yah. I don't like to see flowers wither.
Eric Banana (excitedly): Oh, you want plastic flowers! I go and order now!
Astro Girl (rolling her eyeballs): ...
In case you forgot, they have already bought their V-Day present (yup, singular) one month ago.

Well, that's smart. :)
I received chocolates and home-made char siew bao. Muahahaha... food triumphs all! Especially when it's home made. :P
Plus, i was couch-ridden.. couldn't even make it out of bed myself without help. Folks, treasure your necks. They are VERY fragile, regardless of what people have been saying.
