666
Why was everyone so excited over 6/6/06? To be honest, I was kinda excited too. That's why I bought my fav The Star newspapers dated 6 June 2006 to check out any interesting articles on this special day or updates regarding what 6/6/06 worshipper on this earth would do to make themselves appear on the front page of d papers. The front page was kinda cool. Unholy trinity - ah long, vcd sellers and bookies r making tonnes of $$$ out of dumb fella who would bet their entire property on bola. Kita Anak Malaysia bah, together-gether ma. Tidur bola, makan bola, asmara bola, bankrupt pun bola. God, have mercy on them and their families for they do not know they're wrong.I got to know that thousands of couples intentionally chose this special day to get married as 666 in Hokkien is luck luck luck ma. Apparently, getting married on 666 can bring luck and produce loads of lucky and smart kids. Superstition is not my kind of thing. I dun see the significance of it, but we're Malaysian bah, together-gether ma. My lovely darling sister actually submitted the registration form for marriage on this day too. Congratulations, my dear sis. Wish u live happily ever after.
For some radical so-called Christian groups, it wasn't a happy day. They started to worry weeks ago that 6/6/06 would be armageddon or the end of the world. I have no idea what they did to prepare themselves. Maybe they memorised all the prayers and hoped that they would not be doomed to hell, or maybe they started listening to Hillsongs and sang out loud to cast the demons away.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
So according to the Bible, the world's bestseller ever in history, 666 is the number of the beast. Does it mean that 6/6/06 would be the end of the world? Vista Komanwel did not collapse; my gf's red kancil did not explode in the middle of the road; the restaurant where ate did not release poisonous gas to kill all the customers. I dun know. One thing I know is that this group of dumb people had the same belief, and they prepared themselves together-gether for this day.
As a medical student, I am also very kiasu. I alwez have the believe that kiasuness keeps me alive in medical school. I was jealous to see people around the world doing things together on 6/6/06. The kiasu spirit in me was burning again after a long break. I wanted to do something together-gether too. I decided to treat my friend, Chris, the son of Satan whose birthday was on 6/6/06, a dinner. Who cares if it's the end of the world. Who cares if u all wanted to get married. I preferred to fill my stomach 1st.
Together-gether ma...
