va-what-tine?

today... is valentine's day.. the day of lurrrrv...

right..
most of my friends are mainly single... somehow... don't know why it's so... but yeah, most of my friends are single...
among single ppl i realized there's some kinda "peer/social pressure" in asian/malaysian cultures to act as if valentine's isn't important... i mean, yeah... i'm part of that group too... i don't think we're "acting" that valentine's isn't important to us, but after reading a couple of "anti-valentine's" posts i get the feeling that my group of ppl have this pressure to "not want to celebrate" valentine's...
hmm... maybe its some kinda defence mechanism to console ourselves when we're sitting at home on valentine's day playing maple story... or oblivion... or dota... while even our parents are out having dinner in some dark restaurant...

on the other hand... i think amongst couples there wud be some kinda social/peer/couple pressure to do something on valentine's day...

hmm... there's just no in between group i guess... like... single guys who celebrate valentine's day... but don't have girlfren... actually i'm thinking if can it'd be quite fun also...
fun but not that gud also... something like... the fun of having a girlfren without any of the problems of committment... hmm... best of both worlds?
