How I Spent My Valentine’s Day

Now this is definitely an old story from PapaJoneh Dot Com. How do you spend your Valentine’s Day? Do you go like the obvious outing like many young people do? Couple style? Cinema? Holding hands? Romantic Dinner with candlelight some more? Receive or send flowers to your love ones? How ah?
This is my Valentine’s Day. I took annual leave just for this. 
It was for my twins scheduled clinic visitation and on Valentine’s Day. What a coincidence.
Here my Twins 2, Presley getting his Measle Jab. He cried not because of the jab but because he was forced out of his sweet nap. So many mommies and babies around. Presley fall asleep just waiting for the turn. Kesian.
Here Preston sucking his thumb again. His turn for the jab over and he was smiling like nothing happen. Nice.
After all this, I ask wife:
PapaJ: Dear, where you want to go?
Wife: Hmm, we go datinglah.
PapaJ: What? Dating? You crazy ah? What about the twins? Bring them along? How to “paktoh” like that?
Wife: Oh ya kan. Send them to Auntie lah. Then we go jalan-jalanlah.
PapaJ: Hmm, good idea. OK.
Outside Auntie’s house, in the car.
PapaJ: So, where are we going?
Wife: Hmm, up to you lah dear.
PapaJ: Alamak. You tell me lah where to go. I also don’t know.
Wife: I also don’t know. Hmm, you just drive around first later we thinklah.
PapaJ: Oklah. We go to Kolombong ok.
Wife: No, wait, we have not taken our breakfast yet. It’s 11am already.
PapaJ: Oh ya oh. Ok, lets go Foh Sang. My favorite Kon Lo Men there
While taking our breakfast wife suddenly said:
Wife: Dear, today’s valentine day bah. No flower for me kah?
PapaJ: What? You also want flower kah? Serious?
Wife: No needlah if you say like that. I don’t want actually - just asking you.
PapaJ: See, I knew it. If I bought already “rugi” (wasted). No Needlah, OK
Suddenly wife got this brilliant idea:
Wife: Dear, why don’t you call your Mom and wish her happy valentine.
PapaJ: Alamak. Betul lah. Good idea dear.
PapaJ toot toot mom at kampung.
PapaJ: Hello Mak? Apa khabar? How are you? Happy Valentine’s day!
Mom: Huh? Apa tu “balentain”?
PapaJ: Hahahaha (laugh so loud, all the people inside the shop look at us).
PapaJ: Mak, hari valentine ni maksud nya hari sayang-sayang lah - kunun gitu. so I just want say “Happy Valentine’s Day” “I love you!”.
Mom: Ohhhhh. Thank you. Where’s Fele?
PapaJ: Aiikkk.. Saya yang call, Mama cari wife sia pulak? (mau marah sudah dis - sebab jealous) [translation: I call you mom but you look for wife instead. Hmm, thats hurt!] 
PapaJ: Ada. She’s here. She’s actually the one asked me to call you. She said “happy valentine’s day too”.
Mom: Oh ya kah. cakap “heppi balentain” sama dia juga ok.
PapaJ: Bah, mana kamu ni? Di kampungkah? [translation: You all at Kampung kah?]
Mom: No! We actually here at your brother’s Jay house. We’re helping them moving house.
PapaJ: Apa?!? You all here in KK and I don’t even know??? (Mau marah again becoz jealous not been told their arrival)
The conversation goes on until I said, enoughlah, we go meet you guys at Jay’s house.

Guess what? I surprised my Mom with 3 pink roses just for her. Hahaha. Well, of course wife chose one lah. Me no romantic guy one. I got the idea, wife did the choosing and of course I paid too lah. Moreover, wife pulak yg got so excited going there to my brother’s house bringing the flowers behind my back. Hahaha.
Anyway, to cut thing short - this posting like too long already. I did buy wife something you know. I am not that stingy and I do think of her during this Valentine’s Day thing. You go ask her what I bought. That’s her story to tell. 
Now, according to the market research, we need to stop thing at the highest peak before it rolls downward the other side. So I just stop here to let you all breath again. Phheewww, I thought I never finish this. Even my Boss’ report I put on hold just to finish this “Balentain” thing. Hahaha.
To be continued… so many things happen during this day. Sweating man

actually I wanted the flowers but since u say no need, I say No Need lah (being good wife kan
)

Adui.. wife comment first… haha. Anyway, I had a good laugh at how you Mum commented on the “Heppi Balentain”. Well, it’s a Western culture anyway.
Grrr… you sure want to get a knock on the head now. Don’t you ever know that when a woman say no, it means yes? You should have given your wife at least a rose lar.
For your information: One rose - LOVE, 3 roses - I LOVE YOU, 6 roses - I LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH, 12 roses - I LOVE YOU. YOU LOVE ME. WE LOVE EACH OTHER VERY MUCH. Rose colors: Red - Universal Love, Pink - Motherly Love, White - Purity, Yellow - Jealousy.
Write this in your little note book… don’t ever send yellow roses to your wife.. haha.. ~~runs away~~

Your twins are simply just sooo adorable!!! BTW, do you send your twins for hair cut or tht’s the way their hair is?
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Hey! Look at Presley, he cried so loud. hahahaha..so kesian!
Very agree with Criz Lai comment, when a woman said no, it means YES.

haha…my hubby is so straight one, he said if you want then tell you want..dont say the other way round. Ive learnt my lesson before. So every time i want something even it will cost a bomb i just straight forward tell hubby. If he buy, then fine. If not, at least i told him what i want and he’ll tell me why he cannot get it for me. hehe
no more confusion and heart aching maa…
anyways, that was still a sweet valentine for both you and your mom lah papaJ.

The first photo macam kesian betul dia menangis. Hehehe.
Aiyo PapaJ, how come never buy her bunga? Nanti merajuk MamaJ tu..
But you guys went out on a date on V-Day also ok bah tu. At least ada makan sana Foh Sang.

Uih, only now do I have the time to catch up with your blog.
Eh, good that your wife only asked you for flowers — if she ask you for bling-bling, then your head also go bling-bling! My savo bought me flowers only once, and then never again because I told him not to waste his money on something that don’t last long, hahahah!
Next time, I recommend you to take wife to tengok wayang and eat and get cozy in the dark; I recommend GSC because parking at Wisma Budaya is cheap, and the popcorn and hotdogs are yummy, puas hati even if you don’t enjoy the movie much
