its AUGUST!!

aug 2008..i believe this is the month the chinese like...the other being CHINESE NEW YEAR MONTH...

8 is an auspicious number in chinese beliefs..it actually means "prosperity"

i, for one, is looking forward to the month of august because of a few things, namely:

1. The Beijing Olympics
talk bout auspicious! the chinese would cling on to this date 080808 like a baby! and so, the beijing olympics start off on 8th of aug..olympics come around only once in four years..so im definitely not missing this one! especially when its taking place in asia...talking bout 4 years..if u live up to 80, u only get to watch the olympics for 16 times! (i'm assuming that only people above 12 years of age would watch this event)..

2. The English Premier League (EPL)
its EPL season again! i cant wait..its approximately one week after the beijing olympics signalled its start..16th of aug.football fans out there (like me) will be anticipating this day...i checked the schedules..first match..liverpool vs sunderland..away..aw...why does liverpool always play away on the 1st match of the season? i've got to admit, these few months (EPL-less), i missed the time (usually saturdays) when my whole family would stay in and watch Gerrard & Co. battle it out...with the help of some tasty snacks..chocolate..yum!

On the other hand, not looking forward to...

Trials. Studying for the trials. Burning the midnight oil or lamp ,whatever, for the trials. sipping nescafe so that i can stay awake till the wee hours of the morning for trials. drinking brand's essence of chicken in the morning so that i wont fall asleep during the trials.memorising every single bit of info as if they were my life or death....

and of course..in the near future..SPM..11 nov to 27 nov..just acquired the timetable..
