Valentine.

I’m sitting in my office right now on official duty. Ever since the Saturday duty roster was out for the month of February, I have always thought that it’s a conspiracy to get me to come back today. Y’know, I’m about the only person in my whole office that is still single, so it made natural sense for me to be the one coming back to office to work, while the rest of them can happily enjoy their Valentine’s Day with the other halves. Conspiracy, it must be.

Anyway this is the n-th Valentine’s Day that I would be spending with me and myself, not that I’m upset about it – in fact I’ve always thought that this is a commercial festival. And it’s a festival which idiots are happy to part with half their month’s salary to buy a stick of rose to their girlfriend just because “she’ll feel happy about it”. I mean, why be so dumb? Roses probably cause 10 dollars a stick out of this period, and what difference does that make by giving her flowers on 14 Feb or 14 March? If she’s only happy seeing your flowers on 14 Feb, something must be seriously wrong with the two of you!

As for myself, I’ll be doing some work in office today, wait for the clock to strike 12 and then I’ll promptly get out of office (OK maybe a bit later, considering that I’ve got quite a bit of work to do today and I would like to get them done before I get out). Might probably head down to Sheung Wan to get my ferry tickets to Macau for my trip there next week, and then… OK I admit, I don’t know what I want to do today already.

One thing I really want to get done today is to get a good massage. My back has been quite stiff for the past couple of days, presumably due to me sitting at my desk and doing a lot of work on my 2 computers – my desktop and my laptop. There’s no prize in guessing where I might be heading to tonight!
