777

Putting a lucky number on your marriage certificate is just as silly as all the other cues (from the typeface in the ad to the tie on the applicant’s neck) that we use to make decisions.

By a cab, it took us almost an hour from Rawasari to Djakarta Theater last Saturday due to wedding people flooded streets. There are two parties in Paseban alone, filling street, side-by side. Not to mention, a smaller one in its alley.

A friend of mine just came from Surabaya and told me there’s over 200 weddings in Surabaya’s public record in that very day. Jakarta should be up higher.

Let’s see what will happen next year, in 678 (depends on you java.util.Locale, it could be July 6 2008 or June 8 2008). Whatever it is; 777, 678, 888, 789, 999, or any so-called lucky numbers are pointless.

It proves nothing but our foolishness.

    What about July 8th, 2007? This date was chosen by Boeing as the premiere date of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner as this date in in the American date style is written as 07.08.07

    Pointless? What is not pointless then? How about July 22, 2007? How about August 14, 2011? Pointless or not? Oh, if you got a traffic jam, then you will blame other people because of they "do" something on that day? Pointless or not, it is up to them. Just shut up, don't envy, and move on. It is better to get a traffic jam because of this kind of "lucky date number" celebration rather than "riot" or "demonstration".

    This was nothing compared to mother who wanted to born her child on this very date, by ceasar if must. This simply madness!

    kalo kami harus ikut apa kata orang tua 'nak, nikah itu cuma sekali seumur hidup, jd waktunya jg harus di hari yg baik, sesuai dg perhitungan dan adat jawa, ndak boleh itu di sembarang hari, nanti keluarganya ndak diberkahi..' :D
