11.11.2009

Today is the Nth birthday for the cute, nice and kind twins born on 11.11 Nth years ago :) This year, im spending my birthday in an exotic place…WUXI~~~ my colleagues are planning to bring me to the restaurant at the lake for dinner :) am touched even before they have done it…hehehe… guess what? China today is celebrating a special day…yup, they know it’s my birthday…so they are celebrating as well…guess what they are celebrating…it’s singles’ day..the day for the singles…. you may be wondering why it’s singles’ day today…today’s date is 1111…it looks like 4 sticks…in Chinese sticks is called 棍…the date is made up of all 1’s, hence the term 光 (means "all" in English)…if you combine them, it becomes 光棍 (meaning single)…hence today is the 光棍节 (pronounce as guang gun jie...bahasa baku pls)。 How interesting~~~~
