January has come and a New Year begins. =)
January happens to be the month in which Anzac Day occurs, a tribute to the Australian soldiers who fought against the Japanese soldiers and endured months of toture before finally being part of the luck few to make it back to Australia. Anzac Day occurs on January the 26th, and hopefully I will not be prevailed upon to celebrate it. =)
January also welcomes the Three Kings Day. This day is celebrated on the 6th of January, the last day of Christmas and is supposed to be the day that the Three Wise Men came to visit Jesus after his birth. This is the first time I have ever heard of such a celebration, and so I am quite interested in it's customs. =D Little children apparently leave their shoes at the door filled with hay to attract the camels that the Wise Men rode on and the next morning, it would be filled with toys and gifts. This also seems to have been where the traditions of Christmas presents first started.
January also pays tribute to several birthdays this month:
3rd- Yan Ruizhe
6th- Audrey Chew
13th- Robin Harper
16th- Me!
20th- Lubumba Kamukwamba and Patrick Quah
28th- Elaine Nevis, Gregory Yap and Dan Mosanu
So Happy Birthday to us all, may we be turning 17 or 18, and here's to a whole year or successes, dreams and amazing memories. =) And also finally being legal for some of us. XD
