Yes my dear people, my blog has been dead for a while as most of you would like to call it...ah well

Anyway Valentine's Day has passed, as if it was nothing but a heart imprinted in the sands, that slowly gets washed away by the sea. I'm feeling poetic simply because i didn't get to express my romantic side during valentine's since i was mostly selling flowers and making them!!

Hehe literally i had a case of where my honey said "Hon, here is a dozen roses for you....Now go sell them!" Which i have to say despite the want to have a romantic evening and what not of this so completely commercialised day, was a rather refreshing experience when i think about it.

It was so cute whilst going around the streets of Penang, walking up to complete strangers and making friends with them...just so they could purchase one of the lovely roses we had made. One of the couples I remember selling to, must have been a fresh relationship in the bloom.

It was so winter sonata drama like. Both of them were dressed in white, the girl was sitting with her smiling face down and her hands clasping each other. The boy was looking away with one hand to balance himself on his seat also smiling. It was the epitome of complete utter shyness with a tinge of sweet and cuteness. Oh i couldn't help, but i had to make their day even sweeter by asking them...."Would you like a rose?" Hehehe needless to say the guy bought it for his darling.

There was also one particular couple..hehe not boy and girl but father and daughter. Which i have to say was one of the sweetest things to see. The young girl saw the little heart and teddy with the rose and looke up at her dad. The dad stopped me to ask how much was a rose for his little flower. See it's not all about the lovey dovey couples, but with the loved ones and friends as well.

But then again, whoever said you have to express or show your love with an item? Gee now if only i could keep to that, i can save a lot more in my bank :P. But honestly, the treasure which i find the most precious on the special day, is after all the company that is with me. All the roses in the world, could never make me as happy, when compared to seeing a smile on the face of the person i love oh so much. Wouldn't you agree with me?

What does a rose mean?
When compared to the scent of the one you love?
What does a card mean?
When compared to the laughter of the one you love?
What does a price mean?
When compared to the hand of the one you love?
What does a package mean?
When compared to the smile of the one you love?
What does it all compare to...
Absolutely nothing...
For the greatest gift...
Is to love and be loved...

Happy belated Valentine's Day to all those whom i care for, may you be friend, family or foe... ^_^
