yesterday was valentine's day and everywhere was so awash with couples smothering each other with kisses and flowers that i felt sick. i met iris and aud in the morning at PS and we were treated to this couple acting all lovey dovey in front of us and the girl was carrying this huge purple bouquet. and both of them were quite ok looking- not fugly, at least- so iris and i started praying that they wouldnt be seated near us during the movie or we just might projectile vomit. luckily, they didn't.

anyway after that we had lunch at cartel and that's when the highlight of the day occured. actually, highlightS. after failing to convince ourselves that any of the vaguely passable guys we had seen qualified for a second look, we spotted the 9. and he was at the table right behind us! the only problem was that he was with a girl, and when he stood up, aud pointed out that he had gay pants. which would be a problem, obviously, because nothing good ever comes out of gay pants. and just when we were fretting over this observation, guess who walks into the restaurant? a mr 10! i am definitely to be credited for this one because i noticed him the moment he walked through the door, along with (if i must add), the two female companions he had. i say female companions because the two of them sat next to each other and giggled amongst themselves the whole time we were watching them, which made us conclude that they must be lesbians and hence do not affect mr 10's rating. yes, so the day was not altogether horrid.

in the evening i met my parents for dinner and was surrounded once again by even MORE lovey couples. but at least there were less of the irritating secondary school couples, which are the worst because clearly nobody can be in love when they're 14, pimpley, and unable to construct fluent sentences. i am a bitch, i know! anyway, the good thing was that my parents were behaving like civil adults while we were out, plus we all went for haagen dazs after dinner. so i was in quite a better mood when i got home, althought that of course did not stop me from feeling miserable later on in the night and thinking murderous thoughts about whoever invented the damn thing called national service.

:(

i do not think there has been a single valentine's day which i haven't hated.

casnova- really funny at parts but sadly more of it is wholesome disneyfied entertainment as compared to witty adult sex jokes. the plot is horribly predictable, and the ending is disappointing, although it reminded me somewhat of the merchant of venice. the three of us were in disagreement about the status of heath ledger- iris and i maintain that the only thing noteworthy about him is his build, but aud insists that he is, ahem, cute. then again this is the same person who chose the beanpole josh hartnett over ben affleck in pearl harbour, so skepticism is well warranted =D
