A backdated post.

A couple of days were spent tracking the V-day gift;
Then I spent a good hour on travelling to Bedok,
To pick up the old school typewriter from the collector,
Another good hour travelling back;
The ink ribbon was running dry,
So I had to investigate which old school shops,
Still carry this kind of typewriter ribbons.
And it was eventually located in some corner of Chinatown,
Where I had to convince the lady to dig her storage boxes,
Since I needed it urgently and she didn't have stock on display.

And then it was done --- what a beauty!

For a moment it felt as if I was in the movie Garden State,
Where Zach and company had to travel to the most obscure places,
Just to retreive the pendant from his late mother for his birthday.

I hereby denounce flowers for V-day.
They are for people who don't desire interesting things,
And those who enjoy seeing their dates/partners get ripped.

Yeah I do believe I can be a romantic.
Hum.
