Why do birds suddenly (dis)appear?

CHIAW n. bird

First, thank you for all the support and e-mail prayers... I'm ok. Just needed two days hospital stay for intravenous treatment. I did nothing foolish to deserve this, just fate, bad luck and poor timing.

Ok back to business...

It's Valentines Day today. Almost everyone in the corporate world is using this made-up occassion to make some money. Girlfriends expect something from boyfriends, florists in town found a reason to sell flowers at exorbitant prices, restaurant owners serving western or fusion food can expect a full-house turnout. Everybody's happy.

Except the ones that are not getting it later that evening. For all the effort and performance they put on, there will be winners and sobbers. It's a peacock dance.

For all the sobbers... I suggest counselling. If talking and listening are not your forte, then try blogging.

It's a perfect remedy for the weak heart. Just like mine.
