Yesterday was 10th October, 2010 and you would see 10.10.10 (three 10s) if you wrote it down. It happens only once in 11 years. I have already passed three these interesting days in my life.
The first unforgettable one was 8.8.88 (8.8.1988) when I was only five years old. On August 8 of 1988, the largest demonstration, also known as 8888 uprising, took place in my country. The 8888 uprising was started by students in Yangon on August 8, 1988. Student protests spread throughout the country. Hundreds of thousands of ochre-robed monks, young children, university students, housewives, and doctors demonstrated against the regime. The uprising ended on September 18, after a bloody military coup by the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). Thousands of deaths have been attributed to the military during this uprising, while authorities in Myanmar put the figure at around 350 people killed. (ref: wikipedia)
The second one was 9.9.99. I don't have so much memories for this day. But if you are interested in generating 4-digit decimal recurrences, you can try to divide 1234 by 9999 for an example. You will get interesting outcome too.
And, the third one was yesterday, 10.10.10. The time passed peacefully and silently as usual. If I have to say something, the weather was very nice. It was a very beutiful day.The sun was shining brightly over the colorful trees and the sky was totally blue. It was a lovely Sunday and we had a great time at home by watching movies, playing games and cooking some delicious foods except my beloved watered the flower plants with hot water.
Then, I am imagining about next 11 years. Where? What will happen ? How I will be ? We can't say anything. Okay.. Let's wait and see !
