Numbers

What comes to your mind when you read the word ‘Numbers’! Firstly to me its one of the first 5 Books in the Old Testament, also in the Jewish Torah! Lately it is a Detective Series shown on Astro! Numbers has great significance in our world. Literally everything is classified by a series of numbers, from products to human beings ( IC No. or Passport No.). also this leads into a complex issue such as Mark of the beast as mentioned in the Bible! Well, thats not what I really want to share on.

Well, to the Chinese, Numbers has great significance! Look at all the expensive cars locally, they all have ‘nice numbers’ to the Chinese I mean, for to the other races they don’t mean a thing! I used to have a h/p No. which was the envy of my friends! It was “8881688″! This year the Olympics is going to be hosted in Beijing and opens on 8th August 2008 or “888″! Eight is a number which sounds like the word Prosperity in Chinese or Cantonese. It is rather unusual and I guess many Chinese think it is auspicious to have it on that day with the significance of “888″!

Well on a personal scale we got a rather unique appointment date with the hospital too! Rock’s routine check-up is going to be on 8th August 2008 at 8 am! so it is “8888″! Wow! Enough of that for now I want to give some numbers to a buddy East Coast Life who is in the running for the Most Entertaining Blog in Singapore! hey friends, do give her your vote will you?
