Born in Singapore and having moved to Sydney, Australia in 2002, I started blogging back in 2003. It was more of an online day-to-day journal for me; some where I could pen my thoughts and mark the milestones in my life.
This was of course, before Facebook was popular.
I find that while reading my friends' Newsfeeds is fun, it does not replace the properly written word and thus, after constant urging from my mum, I have decided to start blogging again.
Join me and see the beauty around us through my eyes and you'll see the most mundane with new interest!
Why the name "Ambrosia and Nectar"?
In ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia is sometimes the food or drink of the Greek gods (or demigods), often depicted as conferring ageless immortality upon whomever consumed it. It was brought to the gods in Olympus by doves, so it may have been thought of in the Homeric tradition as a kind of divine exhalation of the Earth.
Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar.
The consumption of ambrosia was typically reserved for divine beings. Upon his assumption into immortality on Olympus, Heracles is given ambrosia by Athena, while the hero Tydeus is denied the same thing when the goddess discovers him eating human brains. In one version of the myth of Tantalus, part of Tantalus' crime is that after tasting ambrosia himself, he attempts to steal some away to give to other mortals. Those who consume ambrosia typically had not blood in their veins, but ichor. - Taken from Wiki.
