The Chinese believe that each numbers have their own meaning. As for "eight", is associated with "prosper", "wealth", or "fortune"
Hence, most of the people think that triple eight is great number, and this triple-eight-day would be a great day
Maybe that's why Beijing 2008 Olympic is started on this day.
HOWEVER, today is not a great day for me
This morning I had studio practice class at 9 am. We were supposed to present our interior and exterior boards to the class. I thought that only a few groups that would be selected to present, and class would end faster like what happened this whole week. But I was totally wrong. All groups had to present and class finished even later that it's supposed to be. My group was in the first batch, so we finished presenting much earlier. It was so boring to sit down and listen to the rest of the groups for about 2 hours
After having lunch, I went to the bank by myself to buy cash order for paying my school fee. I wish my sister would accompany me, but she keeps saying, "Do not always depend on me. You have to learn by yourself." Oh well, alright. I can understand that. But I was so stupid for not thinking that I will need her signature to buy the cash order.
In conclusion, I went to the bank, queued, wasting my time... for nothing. 
At night, when I was crossing the street to buy some food for dinner, my left foot was jogged (kesenggol) by someone. I turned my head around and reflexly said sorry, even-though I know that it wasn't my fault. But the person who jogged my foot - who happened to be a young lady - unexpectedly said, "Ck!" with a really irritating and annoying facial expression. Not even a simple 'sorry' from her. HELLOOO...! You were the one at fault but you showed that kind of face to me???
Enough for today. I was so pissed-off... 
I better returned home quickly and sat down before the TV, watching the Beijing 2008 Olympic opening ceremony...
