Not so hype-up Valentines...Just Aaron & I

We hear it so often that Valentines is too commercialized.


Do you agree?? I definitely do. BUT we do not need to succumb to what is laid on the table. Just celebrate it the most special way one feels.....may it be couples or families or friends.


For those who dont mind joining in the crowd, by all means....knock yourself out coz there are no hard and fast rule as to how Valentines should be celebrated.

So personally, this is how I like mine to be or how we celebrated.... ( a lil bit chaotic because of CNY celebrations).

8:00am - Rise & Shine
9:00am - Church
10.30am - Visited Mom & Dad for breakfast (1st day of Chinese New Year)
- Yackity yack yack,
- Watched Astro (Deprived at the moment coz we have yet to install)
1.30pm - Of to Aaron's parents house
- Yackity yack yack again
- Had Tea
- Watch more Astro
(By this time the heat was taking a toll on us)
8.00pm - Left for our house to shower & change
8.45pm - Wrap aaron's present & made him a simple card
9.30pm - Gave aaron his prezzie
9.45pm - Left home for Gurgey

Waiter: "Sorry we are fully seated, do you mind waiting 15-20 minutes"??
Sharon: Bubble thought......(Oh darn, my stomach is growling) ...
Waiter: "Oh if you dont mind we have seats at the bar"
Sharon: Looks at aaron (green light!!) "Sure, that would be great!!"

- Doing the traditional walk @ Gurney-

History: Every Valentines after our meal, we will take a stroll down gurney drive....chatting while allowing our full meal to be digested, Feeling Thankful for each other, people watching....especially those new love birds & not forgetting being a 'Fashion Police'...laughing at weird, like seriously weird dressing.

- Farely quiet this year, not much traffic -

- And we took the time to wish our friends who were celebrating this auspicious 'Year of the Tiger' Gong Xi, Gong Xi -

- Mr. Xavier loves taking candid shots of his Mrs. -

- Beautiful fireworks to semi-end the night -

After which, we headed to star bucks for a cold drink
(hmmm, must have forgotten to photographed.)

I hope you guys had a wonderful Valentines & Chinese New Year.


Toodles!
