It’s Valentine’s Day and truth be told, Shorty and I didn’t do anything special. This morning I woke up early and headed off for some meetings. I had back to back meetings all the way till 6.30PM. Right after my meeting I had to head over to the Curve for a family dinner. Shorty was going to meet me there.
What was in my way though was the most epic traffic I’ve seen all year. I guess it’s Friday jam coupled with everyone else rushing to go out for their Valentine’s Day date but my goodness that was some glorious jam. I finally reached the curve an hour later… or actually maybe even more than an hour later.
Shorty was waiting there with Fighter and we had dinner. I was hoping Fighter would be happy to see me after a long day but I think he was angry at me. He was happily smiling at other people but when I looked at him he would look away.
I was like “C’mon Fighter… Daddy had to go work and earn money to support you ok?”.
He then gave me a glance and turned away again.
A typical family dinner of mine takes 2-3 hours so by the time I was done it was 10.30PM… then I had to fight a small traffic jam back home (I guess everyone by now had finished their dates and were rushing to go home too) and well… I got home, showered and here I am. Fresh out of my shower and blogging on my laptop while sitting on my bed.
I guess it’s no biggie. Shorty and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day. We find it too expensive to go out and too difficult to get a reservation. If we do get it, most fancy restaurants force you to go with their set menu and I’m really picky when it comes to food so there’s always something I don’t like about set menus. Heck it’s almost the end of Valentine’s Day and I just realized that I didn’t even take a picture with Shorty today.
I did however take the picture above of Fighter today. Speaking of Fighter, I saw this news article on Fighter’s Dayre this afternoon. Heh.
Ah anyway. I have 28 minutes left to Valentine’s Day now. Fighter is asleep and Shorty is finally out of the shower so I’m going to spend whatever is left of Valentine’s Day with Shorty. See you guys. Hope you guys had a wondeful Vday.
