Aloooo~!
oTL stack of queuing posts are waiting to be edited and posted *sigh* and unfortunately I left my netbook in my room now I don't have it with me :^( uhm when I have it with me, I will post about my day to Korean market and the day I went through 3 polices ;P you have no idea.....
So now, I would just post about my valentine day.... the day of nothingness >_< Why the day of nothingness? Because I have no boyfriend to celebrate with, duh! I'd prefer to say it
chocolate day ;D hallelujah I got chocolates when I expect none.
People (err... including me) got mistaken valentine day as the day to share love with your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband only. When the real valentine day means to share love for everyone, yes everyone. So about celebrating valentine day with lover, I don't, but I do celebrate it with everyone :D
While I'm reading about traditions in valentine day, I caught something weird
Islamic officials in Malaysia warned Muslims against celebrating Valentine's Day, linking it with vice activities. Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said the celebration of romantic love was "not suitable" for Muslims. Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz, head of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which oversees the country's Islamic policies said a fatwa (ruling) issued by the country's top clerics in 2005 noted the day 'is associated with elements of Christianity,' and 'we just cannot get involved with other religion's worshipping rituals.' Jakim officials planned to carry out a nationwide campaign called "Awas Jerat Valentine's Day" ("Mind the Valentine's Day Trap"), aimed at preventing Muslims from celebrating the day on 14 February 2011. Activities include conducting raids in hotels to stop young couples from having unlawful sex and distributing leaflets to Muslim university students warning them against the day.
On Valentine's Day 2011, Malaysian religious authorities arrested more than 100 Muslim couples concerning the celebration ban. Some of them would be charged in the Shariah Court for defying the department's ban against the celebration of Valentine's Day.
Seriously? 'O'a
Uhm, I think no one takes it seriously *nods* wait, there is! The rule maker himself.... or not even himself? Okay whatever~
In South Korea, similar to Japan, women give chocolate to men on February 14, and men give non-chocolate candy to women on March 14 (White Day). On April 14 (Black Day), those who did not receive anything on the 14th of Feb or March go to a Korean restaurant to eat black noodles (자장면 jajangmyeon) and "mourn" their single life. Koreans also celebrate Pepero Day on November 11, when young couples give each other Pepero cookies. The date '11/11' is intended to resemble the long shape of the cookie. The 14th of every month marks a love-related day in Korea, although most of them are obscure. From January to December: Candle Day, Valentine's Day, White Day, Black Day, Rose Day, Kiss Day, Silver Day, Green Day, Music Day, Wine Day, Movie Day, and Hug Day. Korean women give a much higher amount of chocolate than Japanese women.
I've been adopting this culture since 2009 :D eating black noodles, but I don't mourn, okaaayyy.

Worth for Rp 180.000 ($20) but thanks to discount I have it in my palm for Rp 140.000 ($15.57) Ah, I think I'd just emptied my weekly allowance.

My sister made this for valentine day, like 9 of this? She gave this to her boyfriend, mama, papa, me, herself, brother, grandma, oma, and 1 I forget. Taste good :D just like what I expected. Not so sweet, but chewy and thick taste. To shorten it, YUMMY. But I don't think she will think the same, she likes sweet so much! And this cupcake have level 2 of sweetness.
