Valentine's Day every day

Sigh! He don't send me flowers any more! Sob! Better still, he's gone across the causeway to ex-girlfriend land . . . muttered something about our relationship able to withstand the withouts of commercial Valentine's Day. Haha . . . I had you on with my pitiable opening pennings, didn't I? Nah, the Significant Other's not entirely amnesic about 14 Feb. He did the dishes super-quick for me last night and SMS-ed me sweet nothings upon reaching Malaysia. I have no complaints.

Did you guys read today's Straits Times on the inspiring real-life love stories of Singaporeans who demonstrate and experience enduring love of the most touching kind? Yes, I think that if there's anything good that would come out of this dreaded recession, it would be the realisation in many of us of the value of spending quality time with our family and loved ones. Minus all the glitterati of a clock-work booming economy and distractions of material possessions, many of us must now search for more permanent and meaningful purposes that make a difference to our existence.

Maybe you are still too young to feel this round of recession. Then again, maybe not. Have you cause yet to take serious stock of your life as you see many around you grapple with burgeoning financial difficulties and related woes?

Who's gone where and doing what?

So, a few days of studies at your new tertiary institute of learning already. How goes? Who's gone where and pursuing what courses? If you've got some time, updates would be appreciated!

Commmon tests are going to start full swing for me soon . . . tons of marking. But it's been good so far. I'm having a rewarding time.
