The significance of certain chosen dates

There are several reasons why I like Taiwan, though I have never been there. Most of the people speak Hokien and Mandarin.

Every year since they first celebrated their National Day, they celebrate my birthday too.

A nephew of mine whose wife is expecting in October, has decided on October 10, if necessary by caesarian birth. My best man did something similar by choosing 8^th August 1988 for his son.

In most watch advertisements the time displayed on the watch is 10:10 because then the arms frame the brand of the watch and make it look like it's smiling.

However, for MCA, this coming October 10 will mark a significant event, when either party President, Ong Tee Keat or Deputy President, Dr. Chua Soi Lek will win in their unusual 'either or' referendum at their party's Extraordinary General Meeting. Either one will not be smiling after that.

At a recent wedding on 20 September, 2009, it was made known the significance of the chosen date which coincides with year 2009. A classmate who is fondly known as Ten, when asked about her wedding date, joked that she would choose the tenth of October, 2010 and with her name, it becomes 10 10 10 10!
