Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear hubby,

You're a lucky man. Your wife has a romantic spot, but oh, how she hates love commercialised. That's why she has never given you the cold treatment or throw a fit when you fail to give her flowers on every single Valentine's Day we've been through. I mean, 15 ringgit for a stalk of rose? (Or does it cost more now? Gee, I guess I'm out of touch). I'd think you foolish to fall for this kind of exploitation. And baby, diamonds are so politically incorrect. Who'd want to be adorned with these blood-tainted rocks? Who'd want to indirectly fill the coffers of terrorists so that more lives could be lost? (Yes, thank Blood Diamond - perhaps it's not all fiction after all). But you caught me totally unaware when you dragged me into a luxury (for us, anyway!) watch store - the intimidating sort with a glass door and snooty sales assistants - and got me one fine specimen! It cost you more than a month's salary, but remember this :

Watch : RM xxxx
Dinner for 2 : RM xxx
The look of joy on your loved one's face (that's me, of course) : PRICELESS


I guess I'm a lucky woman too. No, not because of that watch, but because I have you. Happy Valentine's Day.


Love,
Wife
