vday was exciting...
to say the very least...
but saying the least isnt what blogs are about...
so here goes...

guy and i are total cheapskates...
we refused to pay exhorbitant prices and jostle with the flower-toting crowds on the date itself...
though i enquired about dinner at prive on keppel island...
only to find the earlier (sunset) seating fully booked...
so we treated ourselves to a little Flutes at the Fort on the 13th...
okay...
he paid for it...
but his angbao collection is about 7 times of mine...

place is real pretty...
colonial architecture...
dressed tables...
art that i din quite comprehend but liked some anyway...

then the actual day itself came...
truth be told...
although we kinda agreed to no presents no flowers this year...
i was feeling kinda green coz every other girl is toting blooming bouquets...
even the guys too...
so i pouted and hid my head under the quilt the whole evening...
but the drama truly began when i decided to snap out of it...
drive down to the singapore river with him...
for free music by the river...
the cheapskates that we are....

but as i rolled off the bed...
the left side of my chest started to hurt real bad whenever i tried to breathe...
which truly equates to every 2 seconds...
and especially when i breathed in deep...
guy got me to lie down...
and we waited...
thinking it will go away...
as it sometimes does...
when it didnt...
after a whole 10-15 minutes...
we decided maybe we should drive down to TTSH instead...
since the guy just lives a couple of bus stops away...
then it hurt like hell when i tried to get up...
i panicked and started crying...
he called the ambulance...
resulting in what i call...

my first, and hopefully, ONLY ambulance ride...
3 paramedics fussing over me...
+ 1 boyfriend...
taking bp...
giving me oxygen...
putting me on the rolling chair/bed/transformer...
the ride was extremely short...
and probably a terrible waste of money...
but i did get better on the ride...
maybe it's the pure O2...
got to the hospital...
got an ECG, X-ray...
and the doc gave me a puzzled look and said nothing seems to be wrong...
dad and mom finally came by...
i started tearing again for making them worry...
and i was discharged...
0005 hrs 15th feb...

so vday evening just flew by like that...

we did kinda have a replacement evening though...
No Country for Old Men at Vivocity...
dinner with a seaview (kinda...)...
tiramisu/bailey's icecream...
and a walk down singapore river....
only to end up at the raffles statue...
and trying our darnest not to look like cheapskates wanting free music...

so my vday really was a 3 day festival...
quite awesome if you think about it...
