Happy Friendship Day!

I was reading Olivia's and Andrea's blog about valentine day... it set me off thinking how I spend this day in my teens...... My friends and I were quite innocents during our teens day... innocent as in no bf or suitor, no drama drama vday surprise rose or love letter under school table...hahaha.... however there were 1 or 2 in our class who had this kind of dramatic vday experience....hahaha

Never had any beau to celebrate Valentine day as the name denote loving couple day... hahahah... It was until I met Nick and celebrate my 1st Valentine day at the age of 25... a bit paisei ... *blushing* hee hee hee...

For the past 24 yrs, I always regard Feb 14 as friendship day ONLY. The bunch of gals dun really celebrate this day, usually the attached one will have dates with their bf  and the single ones will hang out together! Hahaha... there are a couple of us, so 1 or 2 have bf de go on date we still have the others to hang on to...

I still remember my 1st friendship flower is a paper rose given to me by WS... we were in NP then and she got me this paper rose from a craft stall inside NP.... Ppl who dun know might think we are les??? But we are used to it... cos since secondary 2, our form teacher, Mrs Tan labelled us as les... she purposely make one of us sit east and the other sit west... reason given "U 2 too close liao" *phangz... we have to walk separately when passing by the teacher room.... sometimes the rest of the gals in our group had to act as smokescreen for us! I rem once we started sec 3...we always walk together in front of her! Purposely wanna "qi si" her! Hahahah!!!!! Its kinda funny to recall now....

As we grew older, one by one in the gal group got attached....I still rem there are years I hate Valentine day... would go home straight away after work...it sucks to be walking alone in the street during vday... hahahah.... My money making mind start cracking when I get too eng during Vday. There were years where thoughts of selling paper, rubber rose came to my mind... I even got a "ling gan" to make Roche roses from that Roche tv adv... I din succeed.... that stupid chocolate is too heavy for the paper rose!

Now most of us are attached and have our own program with our the other half on this special day.... I guess most would not remember it as a Friendship day... lets not let this day be just Valentine Day... beside showing your appreciation to your loved one, do also show your appreciation to friends who have stood by u all these years...
