Yesterday was Friday, 13th February, 2009.
I was reminded of this dreaded day and date by my colleague as he was starting up the computer at the workplace.
So on every Friday 13th, I would tell myself "Today is the tomorrow you dread most yesterday on Thursday 12th"...
Yes, indeed. There were so many tragedies in history which occurred on Friday the 13th.
Just wondering if there is a list of all the Friday the 13th tragedies, calamities, through the decades and centuries.
Who are the people who believes that Friday the 13th a "lucky day"?
What happens to a person born on Friday the 13th? Will his life be "unlucky" for as long as he lives?
To each his own belief or interpretation. Friday the 13th, 9/11 or whatever date is just another day.
In Cantonese, the number 13 is a good number. It sounds like "sa sang" - 'sure to survive' : )
You are welcome to ramble about this topic here just for fun :)

Time, Space & the "In-Between"
This blog is gathering cobwebs with the passing of another year.
It was started about one year ago in 2008.
I am befuddled.
I use this word instinctively, not because I know what it means but because it sounds nice. I thought it has something to do with "fuzzy logic".
The dictionary definition for 'befuddled' is:
1. confused and vague: "used especially of thinking"; "muddleheaded ideas"; "your addled little brain"; "woolly thinking"; "woolly-headed ideas".
2. stupefied by alcoholic drink: "the wino's poor befuddled mind"; "a mind befogged with drink:;
3. perplexed by many conflicting situations or statements: "filled with bewilderment"; "bewildered and confused"; "a cloudy and confounded philosopher"; "just a mixed-up kid"; "she felt lost on the first day of school".
As a noun, 'befuddlement' is defined as a "confusion resulting from failure to understand". (SYN: bewilderment, obfuscation, puzzlement, mystification, bafflement, bemusement).
I think the word I have been searching is "befuddlement". I found it...but does it increase my understanding of so many things I do not understand?
Once again, I have become confused :(
An advice I often receive from friends is "If you cannot convince a person, confuse him". I am now the victim of an unhelpful advice.
I am now thinking aloud to look for opinions and views on the relevance of this blog.
Guest bloggers are welcome to enlighten me and those interested in the topic of "Time, Space, and what's "in-between" with comments or submit them as guest blogs.
Thank you for your active participation.
