7th Day of 7th Month 2007- 07/07/07

Just noticed that today's date is 07/07/07. Just have to post about that. And still in time..=p

How often can we get date like that. The next time the date reappears again (07/07/07) would be another thousand years. Imagine that.

And it seems to many couples that marries today that this date is an auspicious date. Well, for those who can't managed to get married today. There is no need to fret. =p

There is two more dates similar to this, the 08/08/08 and the 09/09/09.... Way cool. =p.

And I believe most of the chinese would marry on 08/08/08 or 09/09/09 which stands for prosperity and longevity. Or even opens up businesses. Related to the Feng Shui and things.

However, 10/10/10 is not that good. At least for the chinese. =p


**There is no picture of the day for this post... As i mention over and over again. there will ONLY be ONE picture of the day daily... It is called A Picture of the DAY afterall. =p**


Have a nice day, everyone.

    Well, the hungry ghost month is on the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar (Chinese calendar) which means it will be in August according to the standard calendar. =p

    However, 08/08/08 is too nice of a date already. =p

    And, let me guess, people don't want to get married during the Hungry Ghost festival because they are scared to be "accidentally" married to a ghost?? =p

    However 08/08/08 and 09/09/09 are a cool and meaningful date ... but both of it also fall on the hungry ghost month (7th month of the Lunar Calendar)..so for most/ almost all the chinese..this is really not a good day or month to marry as chinese do believe that this is not an auspicious date... and maybe will bring to bad luck or bad things might be happen...

    Benard maybe you are right... people scared they might be accidently married a ghost husband or ghost wife....

    Yeah, superstition exists in almost all cultures.

    Most of these superstitions are plain dumb, however some has it's own rationale and at times it makes sense.

Darn, I think the age factor is beginning to creep up to me. You know, the memory fades with age thingy. Noooo, I am still too young to be old... Nooooooo~~~~ However, the previous post doesn't have pictures as example. Yep, I am trying to justify my mistake.. =p)*** Brains again. Looks like I am fascinated with brains. Anyway, there is this Left Brain or Right Brain Test post previously to test whether you use more of the left side or the right side. (Some even commented that the picture is altered and that it is a trick to fool the eyes.) So, this is a personality test that determine which type of personality you have. It might be accurate and might be not but just give it a try for the fun of it. =p First of all, you will need to identify which side of the brain you use. This will be done in two parts and the combinati
