Feb 14 2011 everybody would know pretty well its Valentine's Day where couples would be celebrating love in the air with candle light dining digging deeper into the pockets due to the steep prices. Firstly the price of sugar cane had shot up rocket sky high on the 8th day of CNY and now roses would follow the same rocket trend. Stylized depictions of hearts (♥) are used as prevalent symbols representing love thereby would be dangling all over shopping malls with doves and Cupid. *Why Ask Why* the shape of heart (♥) turns out to be this way and guess we might not get a pass in our biology exam to draw the heart in this shape?
There has been some speculation about the connection between silphium plant and the heart shape (♥) symbol where the plant seeds are used for birth control purposes. The symbol is remarkably similar to the Egyptian "heart soul" (ib) which could possibly derived from the shape of silphium seed grown in Cyrene, Libya. As the seeds were so heavily used by the Ancient Egyptians in curbing pregnancy the plant became extinct. The shape of Heart (♥) depicting a seed/fruit of silphium are found in ancient Cyrene silver coin. Other version of the Heart (♥) symbol could also be considered to depict features of the human female body? Bananaz Beleaf It Or Not? [Read]

| Thoth |
In Egyptian Mythology, the heart was the key to the afterlife during Judgment Day where the heart of the dead was examined by a jackal-headed Anubis during the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. The heart is weighed against the feather of truth by the goddess Ma'at with Ammut awaiting the result and the recording by Thoth, a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon. If the heart weighed more than the feather of Ma'at, it was immediately consumed by the monster Ammut, a female demon with a body of part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile. Next, the triumphant having passed the test is presented by the falcon-headed Horus to Osiris, seated in his shrine with Isis and Nephthys to pass into paradise.
When in love we often say it with flowers or with 5 Cs, what about singing one of Teresa Teng's *The Moon Represents My Heart* to woo your loved ones and to touch her heart? In this movie Ritchie made the song poorer. Anyone wanna have a go at Sentral Station?

Interesting... never know Valentine can be so potpourri with sugar canes, roses, silphium plant, Egyptian mythology and Teresa Teng joined together :) Happy Valentine to you!
Nah!!! I prefer Teresa Teng's version of the song...and this long-haired guy, Chi-yi or something like that. Who was it who absolutely killed the song - David Tao or was it Wang Lee Hom?
More hearts:
My heart has a mind of its own - Connie Francis
Happy Heart - Petula Clark
...and yucks! My heart will go on and on and on and on and on.... LOL!!!
Curbing pregnancies? Do you mean contraception?
Happy V-day!
Your post title reminds me of one tv show i think late 70s or 80s that starred James Wagner,, Heart to Heart,, remember?
心中有爱，万物美丽
Happy Valentine's Day!
I wish bananaz and loved ones a sweet valentine's day.

Took me some times to digest(and is still digesting, hahaha)
Nice sharing, happy valentine's day to you too! :)
Valentine's Day is so commercialized these days and puts pressure on almost everyone. my DH likes to surprise me at other times when it is more meaningful. we are old romantics. :)
have a sweet Valentine with your wifey.

May u have sweetess Valentine day with your sweetie
Wow, love your effort here, Thanks!
Whilst most symbols represent their own religions and cultures, the heart symbol is universal.
Happy Valentine, peace be with your loved-ones and you. ;)

Couples celebrating Valentine's should spend wisely..otherwise burn a deep hole in the wallet! :)
yeah, i really am curious since when the valentine's day has been made so commercialised, and every place you go offer valentine's promotion (but infact a lot more expensive than mormal).. and why must you buy flowers at 5 times more expensive and meals twice expensive and 20 times more difficult to book a table?? hmmm, time for a thought to go back to basic..
errr, *The Moon Represents My Heart*?? well, this is definitely a classic from Ms Teng.. i currently enjoy the funky version by Mr Khalil Fong 方大同(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yR7_2-M9Hc).. enjoy and have a great Valentine's Day to Bananaz.. BTW, bananaz should be sold at normal price today yeah?? :D
Wow, thanks for sharing the songs! Since my husband is outstation, I just draw some free massage coupons and free food bath coupons for him, muahahaha!
Wishing you a great valentine!
So many animated hearts here makes my heart pumping very fast lah. Or is it the liver moves when in love??? - Hati berdenyut kerana cinta. Happy Valentine's Day to you and wife!
HeLLo Banana,
Feel likes eating bananas today. That's an interesting symbolic meaning of hearts. Never thought it has many other meanings. I only know one ; LOVE.
Yeas I have to agree that prices of things are increasing. I used to buy a Rose for RM12. But on the 14th Feb. I bought a Rose for RM16. Cekik darah but for Love, I don't mind spending a bit. HAhahaha! Like you said, our pocket is being dig deeper nowadays.
You have a nice Valentine's Day too yeah?
Hello Bananaz~ Long time! Happy Valentine's Day!! You got an new awesome header there. I'm wondering if my email system is working. Did you receive my emails recently?
Thanks!

Happy Valentine's Day.
Had a great celebration or not for the day (or night)? :D
With V-day getting too commercialized these days, I am celebrating mine daily. :D Instead of making the retailers and restaurants fat, I'm cooking my own V-day dinner and making my own gifts. :D
Ben இ Happy *Rojak* Valentine haha
suituapui இ Agree Ritchie not only enrich the song but bankrupted it haha. Just a movie so no need to sing well in order to woo lady sing with the heart however the last part OK mah. Its Ritchie Ren quite a well known and popular singer/actor from Taiwan. Wanted to post one of my fav song by Ritchie but not on the right mood on Valentine's Day cause its a break up song called 'heart too soft' Xin Tai Ruan
இ Connie Francis & Petula Clark? Great singers eh. Yeah 'Your Heart Must Go On and on and on..' lovely!.
khengsiong இ Yes its a herbal contraceptive. Happy V-Day
eugene இ That's Robert Wagner hehe sorry cant remember his other heart's name haha.
心中有爱，万物美丽 got this translated from MDBG dictionary & it says "Heart center got love, all living things beautiful". Lovely..tQ

Casendra இ Sorry typed too fast promised next post would go slow easier to digest haha *juz kidding*. Izzit like rojak as what Ben commented? Happy V-Day.
Life Ramblings இ Yes very commercialized indeed. What to do those biz owners also studied economics strictly about supply & demand. Great DH of yours so romantic no need to wait for V-Day. tQ.
Bengbeng இ Happy Valentine's Day to you & wifey even though you cant go out at home can also celebrate at home.
MRC இ Ah yes her name is Cecelia Cheung used to Cheung Pak Chi..haha

+Ant+ இ Thanks! Love to dig the bull's horn so to speak for unusual & unexpected happenings. You have a great Valentine too. tQ.
Mei Teng இ Its aka Walletime haha..if they can afford it and dont mind the steep price well go for it.
[SK] இ Oh! no no no Bananaz not for sale hahaha.
[SK] இ Really the prices of flowers & dinners soared that high? Bananaz not willing to spend on Walletime's Day. One of my lady friend told me she would prefer other things more practical *saat chai* which she can keep for years than the flowers for a week. Will check on the funky version. tQ.
Alice Law இ Glad you liked the songs. So celebrating with the kids then. tQ.
Autumn Belle இ Heart pump faster so as to make it lighter join in ~ love in the air haha. Since its V-Day just inundate the whole entry with hearts haha.tQ

I do think Valentine day etc etc is a commercial propaganda. The retailers will be smiling big because they get to charge people who are emotionally involved double or triple for flowers and choc.
Casendra இ You slow slow come no hurry shall get them digested.
Cloudia இ Aloha..
Ai Shiang இ Think Australia is no different with the prices jacked up sky high even though sending flowers to love ones is very common there? Malaysian practically say it with flowers on the most 2 or 3 occasions in a year, on birthdays & V-Day maybe on wedding anniversary.
Wow....a lot of Valentine trivia...thanks for sharing.
Happy Belated Valentine's Day!! Interesting topic about hearts! : )
That Richie Ren movie is hilarious. Thanks for the revisit. Enjoyed it.
Thanks too for the Teresa Teng original version. A fav number at k-ok lounges.
Also gave the version recommended by SK a listen. If you like jazz, you may like this version. I wonder if there's a rap version or even a rock version. LOL!
Very nice collection of videos. Thanks. Hope you had a great Valentine's Day, Bananaz.
