God I love surprises and surprising people. So here I am finally updating my blog. 2 months have passed! That's as long as like, repeating half of Da Chang Jin on TV. (which I've just finished watching again.. like for the nth time)
I think leos have a scary competitive streak in them. I'm currently wishing that I had bothered to sign up for exchange programmes this hols because SO MANY FRIENDS ARE GOING OVERSEAS TO EXCITING PLACES AND FOR LONG PERIODS (and relatively cheap too).. damn. like there's a friend in USA now who's going to be there for 3 months, another friend going to MEXICO for summer studies (envious about the idea of going overseas, but NOT the place itself), and someone's going Korea on exchange as well. EVEN MY MOTHER is going overseas to avoid the heat. and poor me (literally and figuratively) is staying on this sunny island! hooray.
Friends in/going to uni, please treasure the opportunities to go on exchanges! I can only travel like AFTER I GRADUATE, no thanks to the internship next year! so much for a short, 3year degree. sigh
envious post. blah.
someone find me an accting related job!

seems like the Spaniards are racist too. HAHA

Feb 29th is a day for blogging! After all, if you miss blogging today, you'll have to wait another 4 years!
Interesting fact #1: Most of us think that every year that is divisible by 4 is a leap year right (2008, 2004, 2000, etc)? And since 2000 was a leap year, 1900, 1800 and 1700 were leap years also.. right?
WRONG!
Years divisible by 100 are NOT leap years UNLESS they are also divisible by 400.. i.e. 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not leap years!!
Interesting fact #2: It is widely believed that Julius Caesar and Augustus (from which July and August are named after) both took a day from February to make their months longer, which is why February only has 28 days instead of 30. HMM
AH-HAH... useful stuff learnt from my elective.. lol
