you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. you made me happy, when skies are grey…

Today is VALENTINE’S DAY! A day for them, not for me. Today is FRIENDSHIP DAY! hey! doesnt mean that valentine’s day is all about celebrating with your gfs and bfs right? We can also celebrate with our friends, right?

Carried with a light-hearted mood to school. although 没有情人,但是我被学校的热情气氛给感染了. On the way to school, tx told me how much effort he put in to make the chocolate. In the end, i had a taste of it.

It’s dark chocolate! Great effort! Cause tx made this for his gf, and let us try the chocolate. wah! got his love for his gf..so sweet!

then, during flag raising, ben gave me a pack of biscuits made by himself! xie xie. not forgetting sher for this cute cute badge

then after flag raising, we went back to class. On the way, saw BOYFRIEND shirley! hugged her. went back class for our reading period. just as i was about to read the article, tx passed me this thing! tell you, it’s 大的咯! i was really shocked that he bought the flowers. cause yesterday we went JP, and saw this flower. Emily also got one from jl! thank yous! really sweet of you guys!

was feeling high and happy throughout the whole lessons! Enthu! Then, went to the canteen with them. I saw Mr A playing guitar to this girl. He was doing some sort of service for a guy. Everyone in the canteen was LOOKING at her. Then, saw shir again! hugged her again! Was telling shir about Mr A, and got to know some story about Mr A.

After school, went lunch with emily, tx, jl, tk. Imagine emily and i have to carry this big big, hot pink flowers around ? 

After lunch, went back to school for cca practice! everyone was feeling so high and guess what? today’s attendance was FABULOUS, FANTASTIC, EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL! hey.. not being sarcastic ok? Only 3 members didnt come for practice! im so happy to hear that! Before ms wee come, we did warm up and self-practice on our SYF piece. i went around testing the angklung players on the solo part.

There was one thing i really cannot tolerate. Our cca room is near the soccer field, so we can see the people there. At one point of time, i heard some of the members shouting “GOAL!”. guessed what? the alumni members came back and had a soccer match with the soccer players. Instead of practicing, they were crowding around the windows, watching soccer match. When I said do your own practice, means do your own practice. Please dont say that i’m too mean on you guys. But, competition is around the corner, and please please please have some sense of urgency and responsibilty to practice your parts on your own, can? I also want to watch the soccer match, but at least know what you should and should not do? Sorry, im extremely mean when it is about my angklung players since im the SL for angklung. I cant tolerate cant-be-bothered attitudes. 

After that, ms wee came and we started the actual practice.

She tested each individual angklung players, to choose the one who will be solo-ing during the competition. In the music score, it written clearly that one person from angklung1 section will be solo-ing. BUT THEN, suddenly, ms wee came and tested me, when im in angklung3 section. in the end, ms wee asked me to solo with hendra and ili.

After practice, shirley and i started to distribute chocolates to the members. Hope you guys like it! a small small token from us! YOU ARE BEING LOVED BY US! so dont worry if you dont have any gf bf. hee =)

today is a really hug-ABLE day. i hugged alot of people today..many times.. 2 more hours to the end of Valentine’s day! But, with all my dearies and darlings, everyday is a valentine’s day!

I LOVE YOU! everyone who has played a little little part or big big part in my life, somehow, someway.

Humans celebrate Valentine’s day, so do Dogs. i just watched the news that dogs also celebrate Valentine’s day! Sounds cool right? when you have two dogs dating together, wearing those nice nice little clothes. Some dogs prefer to get married on this special day in Hong Kong!

Walking down the red carpet.. dressing up as bride and groom!

A little bit of history about this special day- Valentine’s Day.

Resource from: http://www.history.com/minisites/valentine/viewPage?pageId=882

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
