Singleton's Suffrance

Valentine's Day has had it's rather blunt reminders every year, why should this year be an exception?

For the past couple of years our dear gym has been reminding everyone to come for Group X classes - making each class a sort of Valentine-themed class for singletons. It makes staying at home and eating comfort food very appealing.

This year, though, the gym decided against that tactic and instead had just a Valentine's Bodystep class (come dressed in pink/red top to win prizes!) where you could show up alone or with your partner. At least it doesn't seem to single out the singletons.

Anyways. This year's reminders still retained their sharp jabs, starting with the Hitz.FM Morning Crew's JJ and Rudy: "Today is Single's Appreciation Day!"

You guys didn't have to make it sound like it's something sad.

And in the evening, our good instructor, in jest, poked, "So those of you who are here now all tak laku one yeah."

Heh. Yes, the life of the bachelor-for-life is fun, but you don't have to glaringly point out that Wii belong in Singleton society.

Now maybe to find a BBC production of Pride and Prejudice and hunt for the wet shirt scene Bridget Jones keep talking about.

Actually we were not poking fun. We were actually celebrating everyone who was single. Sorry if we hurt you.

Whoops didn't expect to sound so jaded and bitter! Wasn't hurt, no.

Our reference was more towards how S.A.D. was initialed so :) Wii only gets to listen to you guys for about half-hour anyways (enough to catch the YesNoUmAh game yay), shame.

Wii knows our instructor was joking too :D

Thanks for the concern!
