O Eight O Eight O Eight

Ada apa dengan 8?

16,000 orang kahwin kat China. Wah. Mungkin kat Malaysia pun banyak gak kalau buat bancian tu.

Berita cover banyak pasal 080808. Ada interview 88 year old guy with 8 children, a child celebrating his 8th birthday on 080808, ada new born lahir at 8.18am ke something like dat lah. Kalau ada interview orang kaya with $88 million, 8 cars, a mansion with 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, 8 windows, and 8 maids, best gak. Hehe, very lucky.

Quoting someone dalam news, "It's a lucky date. I'm going to get a LOTTO ticket."

Ritter, J.R. (2003) writes about 'Mental Accounting'

People sometimes separate decisions that should, in principle, be combined. For
example, many people have a household budget for food, and a household budget for
entertaining. At home, where the food budget is present, they will not eat lobster or shrimp
because they are much more expensive than a fish casserole. But in a restaurant, they will order
lobster and shrimp even though the cost is much higher than a simple fish dinner. If they instead
ate lobster and shrimp at home, and the simple fish in a restaurant, they could save money. But
because they are thinking separately about restaurant meals and food at home, they choose to
limit their food at home.

Macam nak beli nescafe $7 kat Pak n Save, pikir 18 kali, tapi kalau pergi cafe kat uni, boleh je nak beli $4 kopi satu cawan kecik. Walaupun nescafe tu actually can make +- 10 cups. See how similar things can carry different level of utility to us.

Semalam ingatkan nak tengok Olympics opening ceremony dengan cik Laily, tapi tidur kat meja seems more appealing. Kih kih.
