  Ah! Valentine’s Day is here once again…

1st thing that comes to mind, would be…of course your Valentine.

  Apart from the much needed bouquet of roses and that expensive candle-light dinner, a gift too is much needed. Before I get carried away with gifts, lets shed the limelight on roses.

  The Meaning of Roses

  Believe it or not, there lies a meaning behind each lovely stem of rose. You wouldn’t want your friend thinking she was the love of your life just because you didn’t understand the meaning of roses. Girls pay much attention to detail so read up before you get stood up.

Red roses mean romantic love; they’re the "Valentine roses," par excellence.

Purple, coral and orange challenge red as the color for Valentine roses.The specific purpose of purple roses is to signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight. Meanwhile, coral and orange roses signal desire.

The meaning of yellow roses is joy and friendship.

We express our gratitude and appreciation with pink roses….

While feelings of admiration and sympathy find words with roses that are light pink in color.

Peach is more ambiguous, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude.

Their purity naturally enough lends to white roses the meaning of reverence and humility.

What about black roses? Do they exist and, if so, what is the meaning? While no jet-black rose exists, there are some of such a deep red as to suggest black. E.g., Rosa ‘Black Magic.’ Alternatively, some florists dry fresh roses and dye them black. And the meaning? There is some disagreement on this point. Many say black represents death and can thus be used as a symbol to express vengeance towards a foe. But others interpret that more liberally, suggesting as a meaning for black roses the death of old habits, thus signaling rebirth.

Unless you’re a "Goth" or are trying to be funny, I’d stay away from sending black roses: the interpretation is too iffy. But the formula listed above will work for the other colors.

  During Valentine’s Day the previous year, Kuala Lumpur was swept by a storm of couple’s attire. You name it, anything from cute bunny t-shirts to formal couple’s working attire could be found. I’m guessing this year should be no different either.

  A sporty couple should consider this…Girls, if you ever want to score some points with your man and show that you can accept his world, this is the outfit for you. I present to you, the couple’s football jerseys.

 

  Like any other Valentine’s Day, gifts are super important. Guys, if you didn’t know this, receiving Valentines gifts in front of all her peers is a huge ego boost for a girl. She may look shy on the outside but deep down…the more the merrier! Even that girl who turns down your gift in front of all her peers, that’s an ego boost for her too. It means that she has reached a state where she doesn’t need any gifts from that person in particular to boost her ego. At that moment I assure you it is at an all time high. Then there’s that girl who flirts with all the guys to get many gifts on Valentine’s Day. That’s just cruel.

  Anyway, back to the gifts. For me, something unique is always what captivates the heart. This year i personally think that a love heart blood parrot would be the perfect gift. For those of you who don’t know, the blood parrot is a fish, not a bird. It’s a hybrid from Taiwan that would easily steal the heart of your Valentine.

The Unique characteristic of the blood parrot is that you can get it in almost any colour you want. This this achieved through dye of course. The dye does shorten the life span of the fish however the vivid colours produced are stunning.                   

  The variety of blood parrot best suited for Valentine’s Day is the purple love heart blood parrot. Having no tail, this unique fish has a body that is love-shaped. With a deep red hue that even puts roses to shame, this is indeed the perfect Valentine.

  Valentine’s Day will not be a day to pinch pennies. Although it may burn a hole in your pocket, it’s worth every cent. Just thank God you’re not treating your girl to that  extravagant meal of a lifetime in Bangkok, Thailand. Yea, it’s a meal of a lifetime alright, the meal of your lifetime. After you’re done footing the bill, it will be the end of your lifetime. With the bill setting you back $25000 per person, I’m sure you would rather spend Valentine’s alone.

   Cupid’s arrows will cost a little more this year, according to statistics, the average lovestruck consumer will spend $120 this year, an increase from $101 the previous year. The Valentine business is a billion dollar industry. In the US alone, a total of 16.9 billion US dollars will be spent this year on Valentine’s. A hint for the ladies out there, the average man spends twice as much as the average woman on Valentines day. With the essential flowers topping the to-buy-list( 58.3 percent), candy and jewelry follow closely in second and third place with 42.9 and 27.6 percent respectively. It’s shocking to find out that Hershey’s selling 1.5 billion of it’s famed Kisses on Valentine’s day alone. Wow, now that’s a lot of kisses.
