I always confuse this way of description.

In China: Year, Month, Day (makes sense, it is in order of long to short)
In most western countries including UK: Day, Month, Year (short to long)
In US: Month, Day, Year (??? I don't know why ???) ^_^

in England, 02.08.08 means 2nd August, 2008
in China, 02.08.08 means 8th August 2002
you need to make sure you know which format the writer is using, otherwise it can get really confusing.
