Valentine Day

Its 14 of February again. Too bad me and my girlfriend are stuck in our own rooms, watching the horribly large stack of notes in order to prepare for the exams that are creeping up behind us. Haih, the life of a student sure are full of them.

Valentine's day. Its a memorable day where couples and maybe close friends get together and buy some gifts like chocolates, flowers and such for each other. However, in my opinion, the happiest person during Valentines day are not the lovers and any couples.

Its the owner of the gift shops!!!haha

Normally business should already be good for these gift shops as birthdays, farewell, and other occasions are all around the year. However, during Valentine's day, its even better as not only the demand goes up, the prices follows as well. So, their profit not only doubled but maybe four times better!

Gifts are so expensive during the Valentine period. Example, this teddy bear bouquet will cost around Rm50 per bouquet. Imagine those boy friends who send a bouquet of 99 teddies to their girl friends. Its almost Rm1000!! I bet she will be even happier if the guy juz gave her the money with a Valentine card saying,
'Love you dear. As buying all those teddies and flower are so lame, I decided to give you a check of rm1000 to spend on anything you wan. Happy Valentine.'

Rose are among the commonest things given to girls during Valentine day as well. During the normal periods, its juz around Rm5 per rose. However, the price will be upped more than double to Rm12 per rose during Valentine's day. Gosh, I sure hoped that I had a garden of roses!!

I'm sure after Valentine, all the gift shop owners will be as looking like lil kitteh over here...




Then again, this is such a nice festive for couples that they dun mind spending a bit for their love ones. Its juz once a year anyway, minus the birthday, minus the anniversary, minus the other small small anniversaries.lol

Happy Valentines all!!!
