Happy Birthday, Faye!

Andrew Lim on Friday, August 8, 2008 11:41AM

Today is my girl Faye Wong‘s
birthday. Today also marks the opening of the XXIX Summer Olympics in
Beijing. 8-8-08 is the most auspicious day in the Chinese calendar.
Why? The number 8 sounds like the pronunciation for “Prosperity” in
Mandarin or Cantonese. A lot of Chinese are getting married today. I am
not surprised if many expecting Chinese moms are in the labor ward
trying to push their babies out today, before the clock strikes twelve.
I bet you can also spot a lot of Chinese in the casinos today, because
gambling on Aug 8 will guarantee a sure win, for the owners of the
casinos that is. I am going to get myself some Mega Millions lottery
tickets after work today. Happy 08-08-08!

Anyone feeling lucky today? I was hoping to not have to do a lot of work today and just enjoy things, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

A lot of people probably went to the lottery. It happened last year with 7/7/07.

WOW! Thank you for that info! I had no idea of the significance of this day. It’s no surprise now that China chose this day for the Olympics! I know someone very close to my heart whose birthday is today as well!
