A Short History Lesson For Today

Hugh Jackman was born in 1968.

The Greek tanker Spyros exploded in Jurong Shipyard in 1978.

In 1492 Christopher Columbus reached America.

In 1810 the Bavarian royal family invite the citizens of Munich to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Louis to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, this initiating the first Oktoberfest in Germany.

30 years ago, I was born in a Serangoon Gardens nursing home :)

I'm filled with gratitude for what's been given to me all this while. So I'm gonna sleep now, and wake up to a much brighter and splendid day tomorrow - one of only an infinite many to come.
