CNY Vs Valentine
Valentine Day is drawing near. Yet, I hardly hear anyone talking about it. Instead, everyone is talking about Chinese New Year is coming soon...in just 2 more + weeks. Do you realise that? Perhaps, we are Chinese & so, Chinese New Year is more "Important" in the sense? I don't know. Personally, I don't really fancy CNY. To me, it is just a rest week for me, that's all.
Of all the occasions, I love Christmas Best. The overall feel of Christmas is just so nice. I used to enjoy Valentine's Day during school days. I remember all the girlfriends exchanging Rose with one another..weird right? not boys to girls but girls to girls..Haha! Then, as I entered into work force, I find not worthy to spend $$ buying flowers, especially on Valentine's Day tho it is nice to hold it while scrolling along Orchard Road. *LOL*
Of cos, there are people who think otherwise...else the Florists will all close shop:p
I would rather exchange the $$ spend on flower for food. Say I'm 贪吃 or whatever, I feel that it is more worthwhile to spend on food than something that will wither.
However this year, I don't think we got the time to celebrate Valentine Day mainly because there will be house visiting, a new way of celebrating Valentine with others.
