ANZAC Day tomorrow

yay! holiday! not that it really matters to me coz i'm currently not working anyway but at least i'll hav 1 day wif ant. n so coincidently, i hav a scan on this day, means ant can drive me to d hospital.


well, April 25th is not jz a public holiday, but it's a significant day for many Australians n New Zealanders. according to the Australian War Memorial,



"ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day".



d story doesnt end like dat. since it's got something to do wif the army only means it's about war in the early 1900s. so if anyone wanna have a read, go to: http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac/anzac_tradition.htm
