Its February.....

Its February, the weirdest month since it only has 28 or 29 days. How did they come up with the equation? Well it had something to do with Greek mythology and Gregory calender or something. Still its the shortest month but with a lot of events no doubt.

For instance, the 1st day of the month is Federal Territory day for Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur was first acknowledged as a federal territory state in 1974. I have 2 friends with birthdays on the same day. The first Tuesday of February is troff?(can't remember the spelling - or is it trough) tuesday. When I was growing up in Scotland, we use to make pancakes in school to celebrate. It had something to do with crops and pancakes. The 9th is Thaipusam which is a Hindu celebration. Its the day where they carry Kavadi and have parades around town and visit Batu Caves to give offerings to their gods.

A few friend birthdays, during the second week. Two sisters with birthdays on the 25th and 29th (oh wait, there's only 28 days this year). Rihanna concert on the 14th. Valentine's is on the 14th. I use to love Valentine's a lot, use to get lots of chocolates, roses and teddies. Unfortunately, I won't have anybody to celebrate Valentine's with except my baby.

When I was younger, February would be marking of spring in Norway. I love spring, because it was the time where you see new shoots come out and the weather was still cold and frosts starting to melt. The beauty of nature itself is inspiring.

Okie time to crawl out of bed.
