First up. Happy belated Birthday Charlie! This year we celebrate your 2nd centennial and your contributions to science is as monumental as ever. Evolution shook the very foundations of a human-centric world preached by those religious fools and brought humans down to earth as opposed to 2nd only to God. The name Darwin ranks among those held in the highest of esteem alongside other great men like Sir Isaac Newton, Carl Linneaus, Albert Einstein, just to name a few.
On the eve of a special but increasingly commercialised day, I stand before you, guilty as charged, for being single AND alone on St Valentine's day. Not that it makes much of a big hoo-ha. I mean, it's been like this for so many years now and I've only managed to scrap through maybe one or two years with someone. It's starting to annoy me when friends start asking if I have plans for tomorrow when I never really intended to have any. It makes it seem like a crime not to ask that special someone out. Ok, maybe it wasn't so obvious to them that I have no plans but I think the cold stares I shot them got the message across somehow.
Usually I suck at dating. I seldom see the same girl more than once. In fact, I haven't met a new face twice before. Goodness knows why and I'm pretty sure its not me. Ok ok, so it might be me... alright alright, so it was me. Happy? I already said I suck right? Besides, my omikuji friend here (yes, it is the green blob in this screen) have been giving me plenty of kyōs (bad luck warnings) lately. Some things just dun go your way, period.
Ah well, saves me the trouble of having to book in advance the roses, join the snaking line for that oh-so-delicious (I wun know, I've never tried them but hey, a line aways means it's good) chocolates or try and get a table for 2 at that nice restaurant.
So I'll tell you what. If you have a date and you bump into me strolling down Orchard road alone. Do me a favour. Just ignore me and move along. I promise I wun run up to you and beat the crap out of you. Just let me be, before my aura of apathy threatens to consume you. But of course, if any of you girls out there need a date, I'll be happy to oblige. On a budget of course. Hey, dun look at me like that. The rules are different if you ask me out.
Cheers and have a Happy Valentines Day. I mean everyone of you, single or erm, irritating.
