hmm.. not to say i'm against anything romantic and sentimental here.. but i guess i'm losing the sense of it bit by bit.. been single for some time.. no lovey dovey messages and bedtime lullabye.. no more roses for valentines and love letters.. sad to say, i "forgot" how the feeling was to receive those by a dear ones! (argh! pathetic!)
whoa!! it took her 5 years to open up for the guy.. for whatever reasons.. good for her to have such a romantic partner ( or rich! if thats what she goes for.. ) but i'm sure.. love does not determined by how many stalk of roses one receives.. but to me, it's more meaningful if he plucks just an ordinary wild flowers and hand it to me with his sincere heart! I'll be the sweetest smile in a million smile.
999 roses for a lady
Friday December 16,2005
Businessman Dan Yeoh, who believes in the power of jiu (nine), which represents longevity and eternity, gave his dream girl 999 roses for her 27th birthday.
Yeoh, 36, said 999 red roses also meant “ni shi wo tian chang di jiu de ai (you are my eternal love)”.
“I wanted her to have an unforgettable birthday and also wish that her happiness will be jiu jiu (very long),” he said.
Yeoh said he met Yvonne Tan five years ago but had no chance to get know her better until the past three months when they went out together with friends.
Knowing that Tan loved flowers, Yeoh decided to give her a big surprise on her birthday by ordering 999 red roses in a bouquet shaped like a three-dimensional heart, decorated with silver ornaments and a crystal.
It took the florist a week to get the fresh roses from Cameron Highlands and three days to make the giant heart.
It cost Yeoh about RM3,500.
“Money is not a factor as long as she is happy,” he said, adding that he took a flight from Kuala Lumpur after work to be with her on her birthday.
Tan was speechless at first when she received the roses.
“It’s too good to be true,” she said. She thought Yeoh was joking when he told her he would be giving her 999 red roses.
The part-time florist said she was passionate about flowers and her favourite were red roses that represented “love”.
“There were some admirers who gave me 99 roses and even 108, but 999 is really a shock!” she said.
Tan said she found Yeoh to be friendly and caring, but never expected him to be “so romantic”.

now, what if the same amount of money, was given to her to spend on others that makes her happy? (now what was I thinking? that's not romantic.. roses are..)
i'd be happier if i can trade with a good digital camera rather than something that rots in couple days..
Digital Camera? OK.. That's one thing I will not comment on (any cameras actually..)
