4th of July ~ The Secrets

[SPECIAL BIRTHDAY EDITION - MUST READ]
*[No intention to sell or promote books (except SAT &TOEFL books) - i'm not a salesman ;]
Conundrum
Hi there, have you seen books with the date '4th of July ' as part of the title of that reading materials?

Have you been wondering why? (you r not going to ponder upon this Q if you are staying or studying in the US or if you are a US citizen)

Independence day and Hancock
Guess what? 4th July is the independence day for the USA. That is why an author of a book, when choosing a date to be the title for his or her book might be choosing 4th July as his or her first choice.
Anyway, let's look at some facts about US Independence Day.. YOu like history, right? hahaha :)

In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (sape kata US x pernah di jajah???).

What about Hancock??

Some more history...
Congress approved the wording of the Declaration on July 4 and then sent it to the printer. Whether John Hancock, as the elected President of the Second Continental Congress, or anyone else signed the document that day is unknown, because that document has been lost — presumably destroyed in the printing process. However, Hancock's name and that of a witness do appear on the typeset broadside that was published within a few days.

So, actually Hancock, is a prominent guy gak lah. Bukan sekadar superhero..haha.. and yg menarik gak ialah Hancock juga merupakan satu nama bandar or county (a sub-unit of regional self-government within a larger jurisdiction) di ILLINOIS (state),USA (country). Menarik...menarik...

What drives me to write about 4th July huh?
Haha.. simply because there were memories behind it. First, cuba bayang kan kalu korang macam di lahirkan pada 30 ogos di Malaysia.. Mesti macam rugikan sebab x dpt lahir pada hari kemerdekaan itu sendiri.. Bukankah anda melihat bayi2 yg dilahirkan pd 31 ogos di sambut dengan meriah sekali...??Siap keluar akhbar...Anak merdeka kata mereka!



Hehe.. and that happened to me lah.. i was born in The States on the 4 minus 1 July... on Monday during the evening.. berusaha my mom tunggu.. but takdir ALLAH x boleh di halang.. Alhamdulillah, lahirlah seorang bayi yg sihat pada petang ISNIN 3 Julai 1989. That's all about it. It's HISTORY.

Happy Happy Happy Belated Birthday Ammar!. If I had known earlier I would've made a cake for you. But since you were not around to receive it, maybe this warm sincere wish would do.

May you are surrounded only with beatuiful things now and in times to come.
