April Fool's Day  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

"When my colleague advised me not to believe every word anyone speaks tomorrow, I was suddenly being reminded of April Fool's Day during my childhood time.. =D It was really very funny and gave my belly a pain for laughing a bit longer period."

It was which the day I was in Form Two... Ermm, during recess break on April pf 1st, 1998, I was chatting with my classmate, Nizam and suddenly saw another one of my classmate, Su Yin come out from somewhere and stood outside the class, eating something. I told Nizam my decision to deceive her but Nizam however really protested against my decision.

So I went near Su Yin and informed her that "Guru Penolong Kanan HEM (Hal Ehwal Manusia)" wanna to see her in his office. Once then, she became terrified as she didn't know what crime she committed. I took advantages by comforting her and told her not to get worried so much and just see what he wanted. She really listened and followed my words I spoke and then she went to the office.

Soon, at least no more than 10 minutes, she came back with a reddened face. At the same time, Nizam and I began laughing how naive and stupid she was!!! How easy she got deceived by this silly small trick!

Hurrmmm, I kinda miss that moment where I really enjoyed and played fool around friends. Wanna go back to the old times liao!


THE ORIGIN OF APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Most of people don't know the real origin of April Fool's Day this as the result, it still remain clouded in insignificance. Basically no one knows exactly where, when, why or how the celebration began.

What we do know about the April Fool's Day is that references to "All Fool's Day", is what April Fool's Day was firstly called. It began in Europe during the late Middle Ages. It was known as a folk celebration and elite participation in its minimal. So it explained why it's so difficult to track the exact origin of the day as the people celebrating it back then were not really the kind of people who would write or record down what they did.

Europe is believed to have derived its "April-Fooling" from the French. French and Dutch's references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe April Fool's Day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of April. France was one of the first nations to make January 1st officially New Year's Day, by decree of Charles IX. This was in 1564, even before the 1582 the Gregorian calendar has adopted. Thus the New Year's gifts and visits of felicitation which had been the feeature of the April 1st became associated with the first day of January, and those who disliked or did not hear about the change were fair game for those wits who amused themselves by sending mock presents and paying calls of pretended ceremony on April 1st.

In France, the person who was fooled would be called as poisson d'avril (April Fish). This has been explained as arising from the fact that in April the sun quits the zodiac sign of the fish. The French traditionally celebrated this holiday by placing dead fish on the backs of friends. Today, real fish have been replaced with sticky fish- shaped paper cutouts that children always try to sneak onto the back of their friends' shirts. Candy shops and bakeries also offer fish-shaped man-made sweets or cookies for the day.

Some Dutch also celebrate the April 1st for other reasons. In 1572, the Netherlands were ruled by Spain's King Philip II. Roaming the region where Dutch rebels who called themselves Geuzen, after the French "gueux' meaning beggars. The Geuzen seized the small coastal town of DenBriel. This event was also the start of the general civil rising against the Spanish in other cities in the Netherlands. The Duke of Alba, commander of the Spanish army could not prevent the uprising. Bril is the Dutch word for glasses, so "Albra lost his glasses." The Dutch commemorate this as humor.

Attention: My friend, you may fool people but please bear yourself in mind to play safe and fair always. Don't ever do anything harmful to people.

Good or Bad Friday?  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Hurmmm, yesterday was Good Friday, also called Holy Friday or Great Friday, which is usually the Friday preceding Easter Sunday . Somemore, at the same time, I discovered many good things happened to most of my friends or close relatives. yet I have crossed over mostly bad things.

While playing game on www:facebook.com, I discovered that there was some new secret eggs during the Egg Hunt and then I took most of my time to find the secret egg for Egg Hunt. However, beyond my expectation, my friend, Selina Ooi had successfully obtained the secret egg.. What a bad luck! Until now, I'm still finding over again and again..

Last night, my brother sms-ed to me telling that he was promoted to higher position and being offered a salary increment. He asked me to share this good news with my parents. However, my parents asked me when will I be promoted.. -_- like I know when I will be promoted.... Haiz...

Just my luck... I hope my luck will be much better afterwards now... =D

The Beginning of El Diablo Con Alas  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

After browsing into some blogs, I began thinking whether I should still keep updating on my blog of Friendster's or not. After the discussion with my best friend, Selina Ooi, we came to the result which the blog on Friendster is slightly difficult as non-member are not allowed to view unless they are Friendster's member. So they couldn't read and know what I'm currently doing.

Thus, I made a decision to give up my blog in Friendster and create a new blog on this site. I believe it would be more convenient for them to follow up with my current activities. Hurmm, I will try to make my blog more drastically and totally different... Hehehe.. Who will know what I will write on my blog about =P

However it's my first time to create blog on this blogger site and I couldn't figure out how to start blog. Sounds easy to do but difficult to do XD The setting is slightly confusing and I really didn't know what is this and that. Luckily, I got Selina to help and guide me how to start blog in step by step. She is really intelligent and great in multimedia term. All thanks to her for helping so much XD

Soon or later, I will update my blog... Please check my blog always as you can. Catch you later ^_^
