Anyway, for me I'm writing this on St Valentine's Day and I’m still here in Cambodia. The Chen is studying in France. I know, I’ll tell you all
about that in a later post.
I was working from the Hotel today and I opened my inbox to
find an e-card. I hope she doesn’t read this because I’m gonna post the card:

| The Best I Keep To Myself |
Sweet huh? I’ve been involved in the weird and wonderful world of dating on and
off since I was 15 and without a big head; I’ve had my fair share. It’s very seldom
I receive things as wonderful as this card. She will probably never know how
much it means, but to an emotional guy like myself I'll tell you this means a lot.
She told me she had got me something and had had it shipped to
Singapore, I wasn’t going to be there on Valentine’s Day but it’s ok she was
late or the postal service was late - it actually worked out pretty well given the timings. You know as a guy, to be honest, you don’t really
care about Valentine’s Day, well I dont anyway. It’s just another day you have to go out and
actually do the dreaded task of shopping for things for someone that isn’t
yourself. That's a task in itself but It’s even worse when it’s your girlfriend. A female. Something a male will avoid at all
situations if possible. I decided to get her flowers and found a website delivering flowers
in Paris, the selection wasn’t as nice as I’d been hoping I mean the price was
seriously bourgeois but the selection
just didn’t match. Anyway, I'd procrastinated as usual, and although not 1 day before Valentine's I hadn't meticulously planned this. What did I expect?
I logged into Facebook earlier and was pleasantly surprised
at The Chen posting a picture of the Roses and openly wishing me thank you. I mean, she’s a girl she loves flowers, and yes I didn’t get her
favourite flowers, Orange Lillie’s. It’s Valentine’s Day, they gotta be roses
right? I'll save the lilies for a very special occasion or when I'm in trouble (thanks Vicky!)
I’m surprised she did something like that on FB, because she’s not a very open type of girl. I mean she is when you know her but just because you’re on her Facebook doesn’t constitute you the right to actually know her. She's awesome like that.

| It just has to be Red Roses right? |
I love this girl, I really do and it’s outrageously
frustrating the fact she’s in France. I always hated Geography, wish I was
there in Europe with her.

Happy Valentine’s Day
