070707

There would be 777 couples getting wedded today on 070707. I suppose in 2008, there would be 888 couples getting wedded on 080808, and 999 couples on 090909, and so forth... Or perhaps there would be special lottery on 080808..

Such is our obsession with numbers. Even our identities also get a number, so as to 'record' our existence. Lose that number, you lose your identity and you would very well be 'non-existent'.. Or we could even learn to 'predict' our 'luckiness' with our birthdates with numerology, calculating how our birthdates add up and what lucky number would that be ?

Or on a practical note, we would be forecasting where the stock market goes next, hows the inflation rate? Whats the GST rate now? Interest rates?What would be the next highest selling price for a flat in say, queenstown? would there be any record breakers in the olympic games, whats the score? How much are your grades? How much do you earn ? How old are you ? Whats your weight? whats your vital statistics? Whats your baby's weight? How much you bought the car for ? What telephone number to call to get the cab, ask for information , for helpline? What bus to take? When is the deadline? What is the time?

All these questions pretty much sum up what goes on in our lives everyday... Such is our 'obsession'. .. I simply cant imagine a life without 'numbers'.. Though I am horrid at it.. I fear it, I have to face it.. Some even venture to say numbers, maths, is a 'universal' language.. though I prefer to think that music is.. since I have an aversion to math and numbers.. (mayb that explains why I am bad financially!)

Oh well, the mundane life.. Cant live without it, cant live with it..

May as well make 'numbers' fun.. so anyone going to play blackjack? Or buy lottery this weekend? Maye we can try for 070707 huh? who knows, we may just make a killing..
