Valentine's Day 2011

Its the year of the Rabbit and just before Chap Goh Mei (the fifteenth day of CHinese New Year where single women cast their oranges into the water with hopes that their soulmate will pick it up) we have Valentines Day.

Enough of the JAKIM trying to ban ppl from using tomoro to celebrate their love for their partners. Some would say you dont need a special day to celebrate and etc...

There are tonnes of argument for and against celebrating this day.

TOday, I'm not advocating nor am I promoting it. I'm just posting this inconjuction of this celebration ;-p (yes, I'm talking in circles already)

1st, I have a song to share, which i feel is almost perfect for the occassion. Valentine by Martina McBride and Jim Brickman.




If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

2ndly, I have this article to share. It is from today's Star newspaper, off the StarMag pullout.

HEre, it talk about how some people have found love in the unlikeliest of places / circumstances.


"Just like in the movies, couples meet, and click, in the most unlikely places.

B0Y meets girl, they fall in love, end of story. But it’s not always as easy as that, is it?

The movies, however, tell us otherwise. Every year, the film industry churns out truckloads of romantic comedies in a bid to bring ordinary people hope – that love happens when you least expect it. "

COntinue reading the FULL article here...
I find it a refreshing change especially based of what I've expereinced recently, but then again, thats another story for another day, hehehe...


Anyways, thats the end of my post today about Valentines!
=)

Valentine's Day : The Movie

Managed to catch this star studded movie! And what made it even more star studded was that I even saw Marion Caunter, a local TV host, in the same cinema as well!

I liked the movie although some may say it really lacked direction as well as plot. But for me, i think its a short story of various people's lives on Valentines Day and how it unfold for them.I think every did quite well, even Taylor Swift. Although its her first time on the big screen,she can improve. But yes, I like the movie because it was light, but also the emotional bits tugged my heart strings.

My rating for the movie: 7/10 :-)

*******

Well, this year's valentines day falls on the 1st day of Chinese New year. Hence I thinkmost florists and restaurants will not be able to cash in on this day. Hey, even I dont have to spend a single cent this year (LOL!!) But of course, if i had a choice, i wouldn't be grumbling if I had to spend it on a special some1 this year.

Some people argue that Ppl should not only celebrate this 1 day, but should be doing it for 365 days a year. However, in my opinion, of course a person is expected to shower love to their loved ones 365 days a year. But on special days like Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's you do something out of the ordinary. And days like these break the monotony of a couple's life together.

And of course, there are some who argue its over commercialised, but which festive period in the world isn't commercialised? That doesn't mean we should stop celebrating it right??

Just my few cents worth.

In a few day time we will be celebrating Chinese New year as well as Valentine's (although Valentine's isnt an official holiday). Whatever it is, I hope all you readers celebrate this special days with the people you love and cherish.

Song for Valentines: Fall For You by Seconhand Serenade

Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade


It's Valentine's Day peeps!! A great song to celebrate the day, wherever you are. Wish you guys all the best. The lyrics mean a lot, to me.

Lyrics:-

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Ohh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
