The first of the entry.... again!

Hey people. So here's the first of my entries again! Lol. It's amazing how people love to hack my account! I mean, I do believe that my blog's fairly clean from racisim, or discrimination. Man, it's even free from insults!

But I guess sometimes, people are just really bored and.... they have nothing better to do? Oh well. God bless you, hacker. ;)

Today's an awesome day! Madam's Q restaurant serves amazing food! I thought that all the food we ordered today were brilliant! :)

Of cos, the company's all that matters, ain't it? And I'm glad it was You. :-)

Anyway, the first of may. A brand new month! Labour day! Interesting. Ever wonder how does labour day come about!?

Here's it! Enjoy. :)

From wikipedia,

Labour Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted
from efforts of the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social
achievements of workers.

The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the eight hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. On 21 April 1856 Stonemasons and building workers on building sites around Melbourne, Australia, stopped work and marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House to achieve an eight hour day. Their direct action protest was a success, and they are noted as the first organized workers in the world to achieve an eight hour day with no loss of pay, which subsequently inspired the celebration of Labour Day and May Day.

In New Zealand, groups of workers had achieved the 8 hour working day
since the beginning of organised British settlement in 1840
