Nice to meet the staff

oh #FFFFFF, the number 8 is a lucky number in China... so it seems you choose a good favorite number ^^.

Here is why:-
The word for "eight" (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth". In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, e.g. Cantonese "baat" and "faat".

There is also a visual resemblance between two digits, "88", and the "shuāng xĭ" ('double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters ("xĭ" meaning 'joy' or 'happiness').

The number 8 is viewed as such an auspicious number that even being assigned a number with several eights is considered very lucky.

What's with the random generated titles under the name? O.o
