If you’re in a relationship:

1. Even when I’m in a relationship, I’m stressed. Your prayer a month before would be “Oh Lord, bless me with an ingenious idea for Valentines.” You usually wouldn’t know what to do/buy/etc
2. You have expectations. Though, you’ll probably tell your partner you don’t, hoping that it would convert into the most amazing gift ever. Then, it’s not the most amazing gift ever as your friend/colleague/neighbour has managed to bag 999 Ferero Rochers turned into little flowers. So, you sulk but try really hard not to.
3. You love Valentines and it always turns out perfect so you never worry.

If you’re single:

•  You hate the hype of it all and stay at home adamant on not being part of the nonsense. Then you get up on the 15 th, happy at your successful attempt only to see that the front page of the Star is about some over the top Valentine couple.

•  You plan dinner with some single girlfriends only to have each give their campaign speech on anti-Valentines.

•  You wake up at 8am and hope that by some miracle, a secret admirer/friend/ex-boyfriend/any male declares their undying love for you.

•  You’re a heaven-sent angel who’s actually truly happy for all the couples having a romantic Valentines.

As for me, whether in a relationship or not I’m saying ‘Tak Nak’ to Valentines. Of course, if someone tops the 999 Ferero Rocher Man, I might just reconsider.
