Welcome
Favourite Quote from Albert Einstein:
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love
How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour
Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute
That's relativity

Love light
Made a new friend at work today! She's here on an attachment/internship programme. Hmm, soon it will be my turn. Had fun at work and i realised i encountered lots of weird incidents ever since i started work there. On the way home, i can't help but to think of everything that has happened in my life. Oh! And i can't wait to go shopping shopping shopping! I need to head down to Marks & Spencer during my break tomorrow again. I'm gonna buy more sweets and cookies and redcurrant puffs! And i have to think of what to eat for lunch & dinner again tomorrow since i'm working full shift. Anyway i learnt some basic Russian, French & Japanese words because most of the time, there will be Russians etc customers. Quite fun learning how to pronounce it the correct way with my other collegues though. 'Cause it sounds funny!! Haha.Somehow, i can't wait for school to start in April. But i know i will miss my collegues. Nevertheless, i hope school will be fun and interesting. A whole new enviornment a whole new atmosphere a whole new bunch of friends. I have got this Greek Myth to share
The Pomegranate Seeds
Zeus and Demeter had a beautiful daughter called Persephone. Hades fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Hades asked Zeus if he could marry her, Zeus dare not say no because he did not want to upset Hades. He knew that if he said yes Demeter would be angry. Whatever he answered would be wrong, so he did not answer. Zeus hoped that Hades would just forget Persephone.
One day as she was sitting alone by a lake Hades; god of the Underworld stole her and took her away to his home to become his wife. When Demeter found that her daughter was missing she was very worried. She stopped eating and drinking, wore a dark veil and spent the whole time searching for her. Demeter went to the sun god;Helios. She thought that in his daily journey across the sky he must have seen what happened to Persephone. Helios told her that Hades had stolen Persephone away and married her, and that she must stay in the Underworld with him.
Demeter was so upset she would not let the plants grow. People and animals died because there was no food. Zeus sent for her and said that as long as Persephone had not eaten in the Underworld she could be freed. Hades could not argue because he knew that she had refused all food.
Persephone was back in her mother's arms when Hades gardener arrived and said that she had sucked on seven pomegranate seeds. That meant that she had to go back to the Underworld. Persephone cried and Demeter cried. It was decided that Persephone could live on earth for nine months, but must spend the other three months each year in the Underworld.
Every year whilst Persephone was away Demeter refused to allow any plants to grow. The trees would lose their leaves and all plants would die away to come again when Persephone was free. For evermore there was to be a winter each year.
