#12 3 Might-be Romantic Proposing Ideas...

Is 2009.
Many of my friends are getting married this year.
Even those who are not, at least planning to?
(Anyway, not my cup of tea.. I'm in love with being a single, remember?)


Getting down to the point, here are some ideas which I found over the internet for some not-very-creative men (no offence but if you're here... arhhm, you know what I mean...)

  1. Eve tempted Adam with an apple and the rest is history. Send your would-be mate an apple with a note saying "Try me". (Before that, make sure she fully understands the story of Adam and Eve. If not, she'll probably just bite it off.)

  2. Try taking out a classified ad in the lonely hearts section of a newspaper then deliver the paper to your love, having encircled your advert with a heart. Alternatively, ring-and-run after fixing a heart-shaped wreath of flowers on her front door. (Plan your route before your run before you struggles to find any hideout)

  3. Go to a beach in the middle of the night and with petrol, pour it in the shape of a heart and opening her eyes, you light up the petrol and a burning shape of a heart will show "Your flamming passion for her..." (You may backfire yourself and end up in the jail, check with the authorities before you proceed.)
Anyway, enjoy your holidays. Happy Chinese Mooooooo Year..!

#11 Its Valentine's Day round the corner...

No doubt, many will agree that Valentine's day is a concentrated marketing effort to bring up sales for the related lovers' product as time goes by.

For the unromantic guys, you wonder why is there such a day call Valentine's Day.

Well, this day is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine and it has became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages when the tradition of courtly love florished.

Since then, it has become a day for people to express their loves freely by sending postcards or love poems. (according to Wikipedia) Gradually, it has evolve to sending gifts like flowers and presents.

And because of the marketing, I bet guys are preparing to smash the little dirty rusty piggy coinbank to get ready for the jack-up-prices of the roses. (It isn't really worth to buy but what can you do if the ladies love them??!!) But do you know how many roses to buy and what does it mean? Read on...

NOTE: You should never send a woman 12 roses! Send 11 only which means 'You're my 1 and only 1"

No of roses:
#1 = You're the 1 that I love
#2 = I think loving 2 is more cool
#3 = I LOVE U (3 words)
#5 = I LOVE U (5 letters)
#8 = I LOVE YOU (8 letters)
#8 = You have a curvacious body
#11 = You're my 1 and only 1
#12 = You're my first 1 but I have a 2nd love too
#69 = Lady, are you ready to shag?
#101 = You will be my 1st and last 1
#543 = Undying love (in cantonese)
#666 = Let's go to hell together
#1001 = I shall START and END my life with you...
#anything more than 1001 = please help to save the environment!!!

A bouquet of flowers is a must on Valentine's day especially if both of you are dining out. What can make a girl more happy than holding onto a bouquet of flowers on the street comparing to those who do not have one?

For the singles ladies, stop all the self-pitying and might as well get your favourite flower for yourself. Better still, celebrate this day with your friends because Valentine's day is also known as Friendship day too!
