07/07/07

Wow, raining like cats and dogs now. A shower of blessings for my friend and his wife.

Many around the world will be saying "I DO" today.
The number 7 is also auspicious in many cultures.
In Judaism, GOD rested on and sanctified the seventh day and Buddha walked seven steps at his birth. And there are seven heavens in the Islamic tradition.
3 sevens gives a player 21 points on the blackjack table, while 7-7-7 is a winning line on slot machines.

ROM (Registry of Marriages) nearly got into a triple seven sweepstake - there will be 772 solemnisation ceremonies today.
Many businesses will be triving today eg hotels, catering halls, bridal shops .............

Sometime back, a friend said to me in the bus that i shall get hitch in 08/08/08 which of course remains to be seen (very unlikely). This day, i believe may exceed today's figure of marriages.
Well, may be able to 'sneak' out for a couple of hours to witness my friend's wedding ceremony afterall as a teacher was kind to help me man the shop. Thank GOD

Congratulations to all the newly wedding couples in the world.
