07-07-07

And so today is the 7th of July, 2007 - often written as 07-07-07. This day doesn't come often, only once every century. So, I supposed that's why a lot of people are making a big deal out of it. Some decided to get married today. Even around my area, there are a number of weddings taking place. I hope they're doing this because the date looks nice on the marriage certificate and not because of some superstitious thinking.

As for me, 07-07-07 is just another day. I'm not the type of person who believes in numbers being significant. That's why I never believed in unlucky number 4, lucky number 8 or unlucky number 13. Truth be told, I cringe at the sight of elevators and buildings (and hospital beds) that replaced number 4 with 3A and 13 with 12A. Then again, there are people who are superstitious about numbers.

To me, numbers should remain just that - numbers. They are fascinating to study, but they should not be thought of as having influence on our lives, health, fortunes, luck or whatever. For Muslims, just remember that everything that happens in our lives have been decided by Allah SWT. No numbers can change that.

Next year 's 08-08-08 lagi shiok - For the Chinese this is certainly a very auspicious date since 8 when translated in CHinese means Luck!

Hehehe Pinky. Yes, I am very much aware of 08-08-08 and its significance to Chinese. Interestingly, if you think about it, this number/date excitement will continue for another five years, until we get to 12-12-12.

Kata Hasrol, 8-8-08 kalau diizinkan, dia akan hantar rombongan meminang. (kunun2 dia nak pinang 7-7-07, tapi dia kena hantar gi kurus underwater medic ngan Navy US).

Kata Hasrol lagi, 9-9-09 kalau diizinkan dan takde aral yang melintang, menegak dan membujur, dia akan kawin dengan Zetty.

Zetty pulak kata, "Lama nye...".

Ye...begitulah...

*pengsan* LOL

Dr. Shaikh Mohd Saifuddeen said...

Sabar jer laa Zetty. Manalah tau, takdirnya tunang 08-08-08. Pastu nikah 09-09-09. Pastu dapat anak sulung 10-10-10. Anak kedua 11-11-11. Anak ketiga 12-12-12.

Hehehe...
