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).
