Valentines no more...

OK, so Valentine's day doesn't necessarily make lovey-dovey, chocolate toppings, hugs and kisses. For some, it can spell loneliness or heartbreak. For me, I can't be arsed. Flipping the papers, I spotting the news about Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo's split. Both of which are personal friends. I can only wish both of them a speedy healing process. Good thing is that it was done on amicable terms. No bridges were burnt. So in that sense, the hurt ain't that bad. Somehow.

OK, here's what I can never understand about the press. Whenever they report about a divorce, separation or break-up; they always put up a photo like such...

... and then caption it off as "during happier times".

Like DUH! Isn't that like stating the fucking obvious? What? You think the couple got together ONE LAST TIME just to pose one for OLD TIME sake? Come on! I could think of a handful of alternative captions like...

1. If they only knew what was coming in the months to come.
2. Now you see them, now you don't.
3. All good things must come to an end.
4. Love Will Tear Us Apart (still the best song ever!)
5. What next?
6. Game over.
7. Another one bites the dust (also applicable of newly weds)
8. Who would have known?
9. Come undone.
10. The end of the fairytale.

Hey Glenn / Jamie, I'm in no way making a mockery of your situation. Just taking a piss at the uncreative media at large. Hope everything's resolved in the least painful way... keep your chins up!
