well... Valentine's Day has once again come and gone...
quick how time flies when you're single. haha... kidding... just kidding.

anyway, seeing as how everyone's been blogging about how they spent their V'day (with or without the Special Someone), a thought suddenly popped into my mind... i should tell you how wonderful... or wonderfully dreadful... my V'day was.

as you might or might not know... alas, poor me was working the night shift. so, i never even got the chance to leave my post and go have some fun. that's the sad part. the good part? i was back on shift duties with my all time favourite shift team. it really melted my heart to think how, at least God gave me something good to remember for V'day. i just love working with this shift team... great bunch of guys... great food... great all-round fun. i remember coming out to collect the dinner rations (which were then promptly discarded due to the grosteque nature of its contents) when i saw this sms "hope you spend your day with the people you love"... i know i might have remembered it wrongly (but that's the main point anyway)... but what i do rememeber is saying a silent prayer and thanking God for this great shift combo. =) yay!

i was previously forced to work with another shift team because of some manpower issues. a bitch to work with. =( crapps to you.

oh oh oh... i was watching MTV the night before V'day and they were showing this new show...
Why Can't I Be You?
have you guys heard about it? it's a show where there are basically 2 people. 1 is the loser who wishes he could be like the other guy. 1 is the other guy, who is normally better looking, rich, successful etc.
so the deal with the show is... you (the loser) have to (with the help of the host) ask the other guy to let you in on his life (for 48 hrs) to see how he is what he is. the catch? MTV will pay the other guy.... $1000! cool huh?

it got me thinking... especially being a V'day eve and all... would i rather be someone else?
would i rather live the life of someone else?
my answer: hell yeah!
my life sucks... crap job... little free time... no girlfriend (V'day eve... so this was rather significant).

ahh... i was comtemplating trying to be someone else... or at least find someone who i would like to imagine myself becoming in the near future. no no... not some freaking celebrity or profusely rich old tycoon... a normal person... an everyday man. but to my disappointment. my lazy mind failed me. oh well.

so i had to find other things to do to keep my lazy mind active... or rather at least until it was bed-time (no good to rot your brain for an evening). so i crafted that V'day video for all you wonderful angels in my life. okok... so the video doesn't include ALL the angels in my life. ah... you get the point right? anyway... after doing that... with some frustration because the Movie Maker kept hanging on me (and i forgot to SAVE!)... i finally finished it and posted it for all your viewing pleasure.

when i came back from work this morning (after a really shiok night shift)... i saw all your sms-es and tags and youtube comments... and i must admit... it makes me happy to know you guys liked the video. a really heart-warming thought indeed. then something hit me... no really... i got hit by one of those ball-shaped pong pong tree balls... on the head. pain.

nah... besides that... i also came to realise... i rather not be someone else. i like my life just the way it is... because somewhere in this pool of chaos... i met you people... and i wouldn't trade that feeling for the world.



P.S crap... gonna have to miss the "reunion-dinner" you guys were planning. seems like i miss every new year (both roman and lunar) celebrations (for this and last year) with ya all. nuts. gotta try harder next year...
