Present, Family Versus Girlfriend

Turns out my trip to The Central gave me something more than just food and scenery. Here's what happened on my trip back:

While on the MRT carriage, there was a couple having some small talk with each other. There was nothing really interesting about the talk, not that I was eavesdropping or anything (hello, packed carriage here). So they droned on about educational matters (anxious about results, whether CCA would help, blah blah blah) and the girlfriend suddenly came up with a statement completely unrelated to studies at all.

'Hey you know what? Chinese New Year falls on Valentine's Day next year.'

Do girls like to test their boyfriends on this kind of stuff ever so often? I mean what's the guy gonna say? Sure enough, the poor guy seemed kinda stunned.

'Wow, cool.'

Okay, I could almost feel the next question coming up.

'So how will you spend the day?'
'With you lor.'
'No, you should spend it with your family.'

I didn't hear the conversation after that coz I'd found a seat. And so it seems the guy had got the right answer. I wondered if I would do the same thing if I were in his shoes. Count myself fortunate (or unfortunate) that I do not have to face the dillema come next year (don't even know if I get to celebrate CNY outside camp).
