Before you Speak... Listen!

I was doing my usual lunch duty...that was made especially pleasant by the fact that it was raining here in HOT Singapore.

Then I saw a student holding a pen with a shamrock/ clover leaf figure on top of his pen that lights up everytime he presses the ballpen tip to write. I asked him if he even knows what the figure was called. Of course, the intention was to "add to his knowledge". This was the reply: "I don't know..." and before I could mutter another word he continued, "But this looks like the figure on the Irish flag!" Ok, so goes for "sharing knowledge!"

Of course the Irish flag does not have that on it's face. And so i googled for pictures that made him say that. A friend even went on to refer me sites on the history of why the Shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. Gosh! And I thought I had something to say!

Well, just for your info, my beloved readers, The Shamrock is a symbol of the Holy Trinity, one body, three persons. Now, ok, as if you didn't already know, right? :)
