08.08.08


Friday is the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth year 08-08-08. And to the Chinese, the number eight is believed to bring happiness and fortune. That's why the Games are opening that day and, the Olympic Games aren't the only thing that is scheduled to begin Friday. More than 16,400 couples will also be starting their married life together that day!!!

When my Handphone (Mobile) number had more 8 in it...all my chinese friends wondered when I said its not intentional,I gave them different view about number 8 in India, saying it has too many bends Ups and down...for them 4 is unlucky number, happen to see some chinese building not having 4th floor instead there will be 3A!!!its all the perception!!!

Here in malaysia, Astro cable relaying the inaugration ceremony live tomorrow at 8PM.
The time zone for china and malaysia is same.US President G Bush is also going to be there at the function.All the malaysians are expecting their national game should be the medal winner!

Lets hope Indian manage to get some medals!!!

Malaysia won a silver medal via Lee Chong Wei in the badminton men's singles event!
Chong Wei gets a Datukship plus RM300,000 cash award plus RM3,000 per month for life!!!
We hope to get Squash into the 2016 Olympic Games but by then our World Champion Datuk Nicol David may not be young enough to play squash!!! (Nicol may switch to golf by then! Hahaha!!!)
India can do better starting with the Asian Games in 2010 & Commonwealth Games in the same year!
Malaysians also remember Ms P T Usha who was a track queen for India!
God bless the people of India.
