How far would you go in the name of love?

A) Maim a tree. You nick some sweet nothings onto the bark of a poor pine tree to impress your girlfriend.

B) Punch one of Kuala Lumpur's famous forensic experts, because, let's face it, you have had it. That bitch is always getting between you and your girlfriend. Even at your wedding! She also happens to know how many times you poop daily.

C) Bake your child. Yes, bake your own flesh-and-blood in the hope of catching your girlfriend's attention. True love requires sacrifice, right?

D) All of the above and many more heinous crimes.
