D-Day
Today marks the 52nd aniversary of the day the allied invasion took place in Normandy. To all those who perished in the war, and the remaining war veterans, I salute you.
Today also marks a once in a lifetime, never gonna happen again date of 060606. Many Singaporeans registered for marriage today. To the chinese it meant 六六大顺, means a smooth journey. To the supernatural believers, well, 666 also can mean the devil's number. These days 'research' has shown that the number of the beast is actually 616, or 9. But ah well who cares. Nobody's gonna change an age old myth anyway. Plus 666 looks more spooky.
In any case, whenever there are such dates many people tend to get married. Even maybe on Christmas day or Valentines' Day. If you plan on getting married on 070707 or 080808 or 090909 or 101010 or 111111 or 121212 or hmm no more, better book early to avoid disappointment. Frankly, I prefer not to get married on such a day. Why? Because I want to remember the day as the only special occasion. I don't want to get married on my or her birthday. That will mean one less day of celebration! The only compromise I consider could be say the date we met or the day we got together or something. Everything else to me makes it seem so... common. Like the whole world has the same wedding date as you. (I know I know, there are only 365days a year there will always be someone with the same wedding date as you.)
If you seen this at a place where it's no longer 060606, congrats! You outlived some prophet's saying, that 060606 was supposed to be the date where something bad's gonna happen blah blah blah.
Was, I said? The day's not even over. 50minutes left.
Here's a good read: http://www.latimes.com/features/religion/la-666_lat,0,7908053.story?coll=la-home-headlines
(warning: No pics but it loaded abit slowly for me, hope it's not my internet.)
