15th Feb

15th Feb... This day is always happening... So much things had happened....

=================================================

1) It's the day after valentine's day... A day of poor unfortunate ppl complaining that their wallet had TA "dry"... Perhaps, A day of florist, restaurants counting their earnings with glee... A day of single ppl heaving a sign of relief that the romantic day is over... And perhaps, a beginning of a headache to some gals who had received gifts from different guys, and is still undecided who to attach to..... And so much more...

To those who had enjoyed valentine's day with your loved ones, good for you...

For those who held flowers, waiting stupidity for that someone to appear, which did not in the end, dun be sad. Nothing is going to be worst than that, and hope that you have the sense to sell the flower at daylight robbery prices to the poor unfortunate guy who needs it more than you...

For those who are waiting for that special someone to make the first move, with dissappointing results, dun lose hope. It maybe that your special someone does not know. Why not you make the first move? And dun tell me that you are a lady, and guys should make the first move crap. It does not work anymore...

For those single like me, there's always friends to go out with, to enjoy together... Anyway, valentine's day is also known as friendship day.

For the last few who did not go out at all, staying at home in front of the tube-box, lamating and wondering how the hell are you going to spend the night, I only got a word of advice for you!!!
"GET A LIFE, LOSER!!! THE WORLD AIN'T GOING TO END IF YOU CANNOT FIND A BF OR A GF!!!"

===================================================

2) Budget day... The whole country, especially middle-class working adults, and other Singaporeans tuning in to the budget speech, listening to the good and bad news that the goverment is going to offer. As the saying goes " AFTER THE GOVERMENTS TAKES FROM US TO BALANCE THE BUDGET, WE HAVE TO BUDGET THE BALANCE".

====================================================

3) 65 years ago, the British surrender Singapore to the Japanese to start a life of hardships over 3 years and 8 months. That was in 1942, and that day happens to fall on the Chinese New Year.

In 1945, the Japanese surrendered, and British returned to Singapore, only to face the resentment of the local population, leading to unfortunate clashes, riots, that lead to the independent of Singapore, Malaysia and other South East Asia Countries.

Think of this... If the Japanese never surrender, what would have happen now??

Well, personally speaking, i think that we will have sushi for meals everyday....

======================================================

4) This event is linked to the one above... On this day every year, at 1205 hours, you can hear something across Singapore... Its the public warning system.

Yes, 15th Feb is the TOTAL DEFENCE day. Total defence consist of 5 defences for the well-being of Singapore. Military Defence, Social Defence, Civil Defence, Economic Defence and Physicological Defence.

======================================================

Whew... what a 15th Feb.
