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.
