14 Feburary, 2010 will not only be Valentine's Day, it is also the first 15 days of chinese Lunar New year as well as Ms Valentine's birthday.

To commerate and make the day even more special for her, she has gone to citizen journalism website, STOMP, to appeal for a date.

In her email to STOMP, she said "I am Valentine, 25, and I will be turning 25 on 14th February 2010, which is Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and also my birthday.

"I was wondering whether STOMP can make my birthday wish come true.

"I would like to have a memorable 25th birthday to remember and it's not often 3 situations can occur on a single day (birthday, Valentine's Day plus Chinese New Year), therefore I would like to have an opportunity to have a smashing birthday.

"Can you find me my Valentine?"

The Primary school supervisor associates herself to being "a book that you can enjoy with a cup of coffee with. You will discover the beauty and goodness in the book when you take time to ponder and read it thoroughly."

Though she's not stunning, she had a friendly and kind smile.

However, netizens' responses were far from kind. Out of the 70 people who polled, 62 said "no" to dating her. Most critised that she was simply not pretty.

Shin Min daily reported that one netizen went further and commented that if she wants a date, she'll have to pay for the meal as well as send the guy home before any consideration.

On the other hand, a minority felt that although she was brave to have sought for love, but it was self-degrading.

Psychiatrist's Opinion
In an interview with Shin Min, Dr Hong Yong Yuen said there are 2 possible motivations behind her actions.

Firstly, she's mature and confident. She would have expected such a backlash but she's unfazed by it.

Or she's immature and lacks confidence. All this may be pure fun to her and gives her attention wanted.

The vicious comments will strip away her battered confidence.

On the netizens' reaction, he feels that they ought to reflect on their own morals and values. The doctor said if they did not like what she was doing, they could simply look away instead of attacking her furiously.

The practical world values beauty and toad should stay where they comfortably belong, the rubbish dump.
Very heartening to know but such thought exists in 62 out of 70.
