A Valentine

Pun of the day:
I really don’t want to discard this lovely Valentine… :(

I was doing some spring cleaning back in Seremban (btw, why must it be spring? Shouldn’t we change it to summer to suit local weather?).

And I found something.

A valentine.

No, someone didn’t give it to me. *I* bought it. Four years ago. I didn’t buy it because I had someone in mind, I bought it just because that was the sweetest valentine card I’d ever seen.

Ok la, I did have someone in mind, but that person could never be mine, so forget it man. I’m cheese-paring and I’m not gonna waste RM9.80 on someone who doesn’t give a cheese about me.

Four freaking years have passed and it’s still lying at the very bottom of my drawer next to my bed, beneath dozens of letters and other rubbish I never bothered to throw away. Now I know where those lonely sighs I hear every night come from.

Poor valentine.

I’ve joined Friendster for almost three years, and all along my relationship status has always stayed at “single”. Everytime I was ever so quietly happy, and about to click “edit profile” and select “in a relationship”, shit happens.

Every freaking time.

It doesn’t even give me a chance to try the “its complicated” option for fun. (Btw, dont you just love that term? It is a free pardon to the land of debauchery, and it allows you to run away from your responsibilities.)

Why liddat huh? I also dunno.

I suspect I’ve used up all my quota of luck God gave me. All at once during my SPM days.

Dear God, I’m deeply regretful now. You can take back those 9A1s, those coins I picked up from the streets, those spot-on wild guesses, and those extra mozzarella toppings the chefs accidentally splashed on my pizzas.

Have them all, please.

Can I trade them for someone who wouldn’t give me all the dreams I ever hope for, just to break my heart in the end?

God, please show me the potential recipient of the valentine I bought four years ago. I’ve been waiting.

The last person I want to give it to is the dustbin.

  6. stoney84 AUSTRALIA says:

    A lonely tear falls down
    A smile turns to frown
    Trickles down the cheek
    Does not make you weak

    A lonely tear escapes
    A lifetime of mistakes
    A sad and lonely heart
    Others broke apart

    A lonely tear is dried
    So many nights it cried
    A friend reached out their hand
    And tried to understand

    The lonely tear is gone
    Life will carry on
    With love from a friend
    The lonely tears will end

    ..or something like that…xD there’s bound to be the correct prince charming riding on the correct horse come along way lar…the previous ones…prolly prince (represent person) without a proper horse (represent time)…or the other way round
    wish u all the best

  7. ann jie SINGAPORE says:

    Just do it. Its never wrong.

    if he refuses you then refuse lor, who cares. Sigh….. 4 years over already, the feeling of lingering must still be there eh? good luck..

  8. cGs MALAYSIA says:

    He’s still alive? Maybe an sms will do.

  9. Fantabulo MALAYSIA says:

    The guy whom the card is for is the luckiest dude in the world, and he isn’t even aware of it… Fate is cruel and twisted…

  10. Fantabulo MALAYSIA says:

    By the way, I absolutely love Heyley Westenra too! She has the sweetest voice i’ve ever heard!

  11. Kelly AUSTRALIA says:

    What a cute card? It’s kinda hard to believe a girl like u would be single. i guess maybe those guys r either intimidated by ur beauty, or rejected by u already coz they r not good enough!

    ever consider a chick then? *wink*

  12. Gordon MALAYSIA says:

    That is quite a ‘cheesy’ card hehe.

    But the message is cute and the illustrations cuter.

    Keep the card ;)

  13. astrosurge UNITED KINGDOM says:

    thats touching.
    =_#

  14. X MALAYSIA says:

    I totally know how you feel, just like the cruxifix laying next to my bed, I never had a chance to give her. Years passed, i still remain the same, as my dreams were destroyed, the day she got married. Thanks for a great post.

    X

  15. Dax AUSTRALIA says:

    Don’t look back what you’ve missed but think ahead what you having now and glad with it.
    Relationship is always tricky one but once they comes you found it troublesome. =)
    And of course I am always waiting for you :P

  16. Samuel MALAYSIA says:

    Hey girl, came across your website from Kenny Sia’s. Why is your website eerily similar to Kenny Sia’s? It’s same structure, same concept, same layout, only difference is yours is in pink! you even have “pun of the day” just as he has “short talk” Man…i think you should start finding your own identity…

  17. Porkie MALAYSIA says:

    I guess since you’re new here, you never visited to the original Cheeserland…

  18. Dustbin MALAYSIA says:

    If the card is not meant for me, then who will get it? Anyone in your mind at the moment?

  19. Anonymous MALAYSIA says:

    keke,because kenny designed it :P

  20. Muchakucha MALAYSIA says:

    Almost cried when you wrote “Have them all, please.” I’m totally lost for words.

    *hugs cheesie*.

  21. [[[[|]]]] UNITED STATES says:

    what a cute card :)

  22. Kayla MALAYSIA says:

    This entry is so touching…It reminded me of the poem I wrote for my ex for Valentines this year but got dumped a few days before Vday…

    All the best :)

  23. Penny SINGAPORE says:

    Coincidently, I used to have a Valentine’s Day card in my drawer for 5 years when I was still in high school, during that time my friends were all attached except for me… I used to love the card so much that I took out the card every Valentine’s Day… I felt horribly sad when I didn’t even have someone that I could send this card to… It’s sad… but days passed and I finally decided to throw that card during the spring cleaning ( autumn or winter or summer )… Well… life still goes on… and someday you’ll find your true love…. perhaps you don’t really need a guy when you have your friends with you thru the good and bad….

  24. Steph MALAYSIA says:

    Sentimetal stuff…reminds me of the time an ex gave a me a little soft toy attached to a keychain, which i loved because it reminded me of him when i looked at it. then 6 months later after a big fight with him, i took out my butterfly knife and slashed the thing to bits… emo emo emo. we patched it up, but the relationship still didn’t work out in the end. But i still wished i never did it. kesian the toy only haha.

  25. Matthew MALAYSIA says:

    Albert sounds good… :)

  26. she-bitches MALAYSIA says:

    are you kidding? how can someone who looks like you be single? *pardon my superficiality*

  27. Melissa MALAYSIA says:

    Aww.. Poor Ringo. Don’t worry, girl. I luv ya… & your blog. Heehee. ^^

  28. tom MALAYSIA says:

    huh?

    what is love?

    oh. u mean L O V E?

    hmmm… it will come one day…

  29. CF MALAYSIA says:

    eh? 26 posts & i dun c any blokes posting offer as potential candidates? *me waving & shouting- ME ME ME!” lol .. oh…probably they do it with ‘discretion’….stalkers maybe? ;P

  30. damion MALAYSIA says:

    eh.. how come my handwriting is on the card geh?
    looks like i tersent out the card by accident wor…. :D

  31. cheesie MALAYSIA says:

    Thank you everyone for the encouraging words. =)
    Fantabulo:OMC really! She definitely has the voice of an angel. Ever so soothing. Her songs never fail to calm me down or cheer me up. How versatile. haha. What’s ur fav song? :)

    X: OMC. I just found out my first love is going to get married soon too. 0_o :(

    Samuel: If Kenny himself doesn’t have a problem with it, i don’t think anyone else should. Plus, Sharp is the first one who came up with a camera phone. How come no one ever complains about Samsung/Nokia whatever which followed suit? =)

    Damion: I’ll get a graphologist to examine that!

    Brb people, i gotta go yumca with a friend i haven’t seen for six years. =P

  32. pisanggoreng115 MALAYSIA says:

    wow you buy that card because of that nice word……
    i sometimes do that too
    can you visit my blog today?

  33. joe17301 says:

    Cheesie-sama, I think, love come when you don’t expect it will come ya. If looking for it, sometime too hard to find, and then when give up looking for it, can find it. Meh!
    I’m sure, good person like you gonna find right person. And, if he hurt you, you always
    know got lot of friends can call to come and bash him :D

  34. Samuel MALAYSIA says:

    Guess you’re right Ms Cheese ;)
    But then, we prefer to have more choices in the market, i.e. you won’t see Sony Ericsson having same design and navigation as Nokia. That’s why makes a brand distinguished from the rest. It’s good to see that you have many followers to your blog. Probably just my thought, but it’s good to see you grow your own way rather than be a Kenny Sia’s shadow ;)
    Good luck. Have fun blogging.

  35. X MALAYSIA says:

    Well, I guess you should start listening to Sheena Easton’s “Almost over You”, like I did when i found out that she was going to get married.

    X

  36. Dustbin MALAYSIA says:

    “Brb people, i gotta go yumca with a friend i haven’t seen for six years. =P “

    Someone you haven’t seen for six years… Six years sounds familiar~~ =P

    Fate will decide everything. You’ll meet the one someday when the time is right!

  37. cheesie MALAYSIA says:

    BananaFritter:: wish granted. But wish not granted. =P
    Joe-sama:: Arigatou. Ima mo ureshiku natta. :)
    Samuel: That’s why you don’t see kenny dressed in bunny suit. ;) Anyway thanx for dropping by Samuel. :)
    X: I listened to LeAnne Rimes’ Soon instead.
    Dustbin: No way i won’t give a card to a dustbin =P

  47. colin AUSTRALIA says:

    after all these posts, i’m surprised no one has really said, “i love you long time” yet

    *grin*

  48. angel MALAYSIA says:

    love is very near all of us,yet it’s very far away…
    even though have so many friends around,loneliness are still in the air…
    sometimes when feeling not so well,we just have ourselves…
    sometimes when good things happened,we don’t have a somebody to share…
    it takes a day to love,but a lifetime to forget…

    i believe the time will come…
    where loneliness will be banished from our life forever..
    you should too…

    P.S. my experience is much worse than yours. believe me. that’s why i got in blogdom at the first place. as my therapy writings.

    stay strong and cool girl.

    there is always something for good moments long lasting till the end. Instead of V card, i got this special edition TITUS brand watch…it’s special alright, a gift by my-ex, she my first love..at the back of the watch, it’s written ETERNAL LOVE in chinese, the only thing that we both like at first look….now been 2 years di and she is getting married just couple of months from now, with another guy.

    There is always good moments to fond of, for everything else, there is……..not MASTERCARD la, got CHEEZE ma….hehe…sound like Mastercard commercial tagline. :P

    U should frame and archive the V card to cheeserland museum, coz I think urself is the best MAN deserve to have the V card. I’ll be the guard post if u want…since im jobless at the moment…:P

    btw, that’s a very beautiful and nice V card. =)
