Zheng Jie … She’s Got Big … Dijen
There’s a recent tongue-in-cheek post about Chinese tennis star Zheng Jie and her feminine physique, who is apparently drawing some interest from the Netherlands (of all places). I’m sure people in other places are interested in Zheng Jie too. I enjoy tennis, so I will briefly comment on Zheng Jie. Incidentally, I managed to watch her and other women players in action earlier this year in Victoria Park during the World Team Challenge exhibition event.
Two-time Grand Slam doubles champion and Wimbledon singles semi-finalist Zheng Jie is a talented tennis player who, because of her particular physique or body type, tends to play in a similar way to how Michael Chang used to play. She is a counter-hitter or counter-puncher who willingly scurries and scuttles around the court, which has the effect of further developing those thigh muscles of hers. Yes, she’s got big thighs.

Ching Ming Festival of Fours Also Related to Seven
Today’s date is “double four”, which to Chinese numerologists signifies a particularly unlucky day. In fact, it is the Ching Ming Festival (清明節), otherwise known as Grave Sweeping Day, which always falls on the 104th day of the winter solstice.
A fellow Hong Kong blogger recently mentioned unlucky numbers, and something about Tetraphobia. The number Seven was also mentioned, but in a more positive slant. However, to the Chinese, I have previously mentioned that the number Seven is considered unlucky. Chinese diners will avoid ordering seven dishes in a restaurant, unless it is specifically a funeral dinner.
Don’t you just hate the whims of numerology?
