Valentines Day is the day where couples come out to celebrate the joy of being together, celebrating through gifts of chocolate, flowers, and photos. But Valentines can also be a day of something new. A day where one can confess their true feelings to another. But a thin line must be drawn, and the rules must be laid down on both sides.
Like the ceasefire on D-Day, it was based on the greater good. This greater good does not include two people, who happen to be single, asks one another to start a relationship out of desperation so that they would not be lonely. A short-term excuse will not deter from a messy break up.
Then there is the legitimate love sick puppy who is head over heels towards the other other, only to be accepted out of pity. The greater good is not served if a relationship is based on pity.
So the first showed no love between the two, and the latter showed love that was one-way. Would it be considered "Good" if two people confess to each other, and have genuinely felt the same way about each other got together on V Day? The once thought unrequited love is now two-way, so theoretically, this would truly be a beautiful thing.
But the difference is, this is reality. Hypothetically speaking, what if one of these were as popular as a P? Would that not create conflict in interests? If so, would this really be noted as the "Greater Good"?
If friendships are going to turn sour, furthering a relationship would not be the best thing, but would you fore go true love for the sake of friendships? Or are a few friendships a worthy sacrifice for a chance of true love....
This is a decision many of us are refusing to take, procrastinating as long as possible, but i tell you this, ignorance is bliss when you're running around in circles, but what if it catches up to you.....

Valentines Day - All Is Fair In Love And War
Worked with my assistant manager tonight, James Moss. When i first arrive, he tells me "This is the most depressing night of my life". Why?
1. He could be out with one of his friends / girls
2. The constant sight of couples intimidated his loneliness
3. He was not working with someone he desired (aka. a male like me....)
The night went pretty well though. A steady inflow of customers kept us on out toes, but we still found the time to joke and wrestle in the store. One customer thought there was too much love when he witnessed Mossy sitting on top of me. If only i got out of that headlock....
After work, we headed off to Pot Black, not to play pool this time, but to play table tennis. Moss was named champion at the Chinese Society tournament, and i had little experience, so it was obvious who would walk away victorious. Nonetheless, the closest i got was 11-8. The furtherest was the last match, 11-0. As punishment, i had to lift up my shirt whilst he smashed the ping pong ball into me....I wasn't going down that easily, so he was forced to chase me, in which we ran around the table tennis table at least 20 times, before my i felt too tired to continue. It was 2am afterall.... Best part of it, he shouted me table tennis AND ice cream.
On other news, a man was stabbed and bashed on the streets of Northbridge, across the street from Timezone. This occured at around 10pm (14-02-08) and witnesses are being questioned on the incidence. The victim had his neck slit, with blood overflowing, and died on the scene.

Happy belated birthday Nadia, which was on the 5th.
It sure has been a roller coaster week for me. Work has been extremely tiring, and frustrating, especially when obnoxious drunks come into the store at closing, demanding to play Daytona. When i refused, they tipped over my bucket of mopping...There is a stain under the pinball machine to mark this particular event.
Chinese New Year has been pretty cool. Red packets, and all these lion dances. Boom, ba-boom. The drum beats are so mesmerising, and the firecrackers are deafening. The best one was at Old Shanghai on Sat, where my sister's bf was in. I heard it was good luck to pull off the lion's fur when they are performing, so i mingled with the crowd, and - *grabs, pull* Yah, and i yanked myself some gold fur.
There was like a Men's breakfast at church on Sat morning. Open to all men, and i'm a man, so i joined in. It was a barbecue, and payment was by donation. Regardless, i ate SO much. I had TWO huge plates, filling it up with four different types of sausages, bacon, buns and egg. The fattiest breakfast i have ever had, and by the end of it, i was rolling around on the ground, unable to sit up. As a result, i was able to go pass lunch and dinner with that one meal. But i still had two ice creams - Bacio and Jamaican Chocolate. I like chocolate....
