21/09; Twentyone Love.
21st today.Sadly, I dont have anything interesting to share today leh. :( Its more like marking my last few hours of "relax" time before embarking for another hardcore month. On the next 21st, I would have already finished some of first 2 papers. Crazy isnt it. :o
Church today was pretty sian lor. Now, I kinda get what Jeremy mean when he says its sian. I mean, thank God that least most people turned up, unlike some previous weeks where the youth area was pretty barren. I'm looking forward for Nut to come back as well as for Samuel to come on Sundays. Haha, call me bias but I think Samuel brings the fun in lah. My leaders rock lah. (hoho, dont kill me other leaders. )
*sighs*
I dont want to go back to school tomorrow lah. 3 (maybe and should be depressing) days, followed by truncated. I hope there's more joint/mass lessons lah. For some reason, I really do not wish to stay with some of my class people. No offense, some of them are really nice and stuff but some just pisses me off like real badly. Plus, I cant afford to have any sort of emotional crisis now cause my grades are already in the state of needing CPR. So should you see me emo-ing around, you should understand why.
Anyway, let me stop ranting about school cause its boring.
Once Lin asked me (actually alot of people as well) asked me
why I like the number 21. Okay lah, maybe the word "like" is too generic already. Obsessed may fit it better.

Well, I dont know either leh. It somehow has been embedded into me since I was young and have come to love that number. Like should someone ask me for a number, the first number that should shoot into my mind would be 21. Otherwise, the next number would be 1, 2, 20 or 121. Somehow it has to do with 21 lah. Funny hor.
21 is the 3rd star number (3 x 3 + 4 x 3).
is a Fibonacci number, and the smallest number of differently sized squares that are needed to tile a square.
is the number of spots on a standard cubical die (1+2+3+4+5+6).
is the number of ways of choosing a set of 5 elements from a set of 7 elements.
is x for: y=2x-22 and 3x-4y+17=0
= 112 - 102 = 52 - 22
= 40 + 41 + 42
= 62 - 52 + 42 - 32 + 22 - 12
221 - 21 is prime.
the German 'Twenty-One Club' (Zwanzigeins e. V.) is dedicated to the promotion of a new way to spell numbers in order to make mental arithmetic easier. The supporters of the club want Germans to say zwanzigeins (twenty-one) instead of the current einundzwanzig (one-and-twenty).
"When I Was One-and-Twenty" is a dramatical verse by Alfred Edward Housman about the futility of love, youth, experience, and the irony in living life.
Found from this
webSo mathematical. So Mr Kang lah!
Aparently, I've also found out that
even neurons have their favorite number. Maybe thats the reason why I love the number 21? So what does 21 gotta do with me? Hmm...
1. It is my birthdate.
2. It was my first register number (yea, i know its so irrelevant but somehow i can only remember this register number besides the recent ones)
3. It was the floor i got off everyday from the lift in my previous house
4. It was a pretty number to me. (I wonder why?)
5. I think in the past, good things always happen on the 21st?
I also not sure leh. I just think that 21 is a pretty number, unique and special to me lah. 21 is like also very professional?
Guess what, when I buy stuff, I always look out for the 21st item on the list or the 21st colour etc etc and normally I would buy it just because of the number 21. So dont tempt me with stuff with "21"s on it okay. I would be damnnnn tempted to buy hor.
Here's something interesting as well.Those that know Xiaowen would know that he too
loves the number 21, thus explaining why we share the same number on our youth tees. We were fighting over who should have the number 21 (plus both of us were the in-charges) since there can only be one 21. In the end we both agreed on sharing the number, thus allowing only 2 people to share a number.
Anyways, he too is born on the 21st but not in may, but april. He is also obsessed over the number 21, and definitely wont give in to me should there be only one 21. (Yes, thats how much he loves 21 as well, and I also wont give in to him. XD Too bad, Xiaowen)
Here's the interesting part. He's born on
21 April 1990 and I'm born on the
21 May 1992, making that 2 years and 1 month apart.
Let me repeat.
2 years and
1 month apart.
Like how cool is that.
Okay lah, maybe I'm too calculative but its cool, dont ya think so?
Okay, here are pics of the 21 lovers. (No, not the 21 couple but we who love the number 21.)

haha... here me look nice can already! can see xiaowen in the background.
nah, im just joking. later he angry how?

this picture is damn old. Like last year's Be Electrified? Eh, Xiaowen, need to take more pictures with you lah! I cant find any recent ones we took together okay. Walao, I look damn un glam in this picture. Short hair and braces. Ew.
Also, somehow the number 21 got
special meaning to me one okay. So far I think only one person know. *wink*
Yea lah, i'm inseparable with the number 21. (:
Ohoh! I want to get engaged by 21 in japan! (hahahaha... okay, maybe not.)
Thats about all. I'm off to remove my red-orange-yellow nails. Damn sad lah. School tomorrow. God help me!!!!
おやすみ んあさい~!
P/S: Gambatte Xiaowen for your A levels. (:
