Today is the eighth day of the eighth month of 2008. Today is also the first official day of the Olympics in Beijing. This day (08-08-08) only comes once every century, and I guess that's why many couples are tying the knot today.I am not the superstitious type (more about this here), but certainly the attention given by people to this date is noteworthy. While I regard 08-08-08 as another day in my life, I certainly hope that with the opening of the Beijing Olympics today will usher in goodwill and better ties amongst the competing countries. And on a more patriotic note, I hope the Malaysian contingent could deliver at least one gold this time around.
Here's to a great show of sportsmanship and a successful Olympics.
