April & more bout April...

Recently I browsed thru the net... I found out that April is kinda amazing month... I might be bias in this... Coz if u read my previous blog, i told u all that i was born in the month of April... LOL... This is what i adapted from Wikipedia...

"The derivation of the name (Latin Aprilis) is uncertain. The traditional etymology from the Latin aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open," is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of ἁνοιξις (opening) for spring. Since most of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to Venus, the Festum Veneris et Fortunae Virilis being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month Aphrilis, from her Greek name Aphrodite (Aphros), or from the Etruscan name Apru. Jacob Grimm suggests the name of a hypothetical god or hero, Aper or Aprus."

Well, that is not what i found only... actually there are plenty more interesting things happened in this month... but i don't think that i am going to talk about it here... that is not what i interested most...

Plenty of stuff happened already in this few days of this month... April's fool day (1st of April) as most of you guys enjoying teasing and making fun of each other... Well, i didn't got a chance to make fool of anyone this year... i wasn't been fool around as well except the cool attempt by my neurobiology lecturer, Dr. Anthony Ho... Ching Fui & Sheng Szan's birthday on that day too... 2nd of April, Weng Foong's birthday, Moses on the 7th, and Voon Yuke today... Tomorrow will be Mee Ken's birthday... So this month is full of birthdays... LOL... For your further info, on this month, 22nd is the Earth Day...

But the date that amaze myself of course not to be forget MY BIRTHDAY!!! LOL... What is so amazing on this date, 15th of April? Okay, lets us rewind the world greatest history... hahaha... on this special date, 15th of April:
