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

must blog before cny!

HAPPY CNY~ may everyone huat in the year of the rat

I have a damn funny (but evil) brother! Excerpt of our MSN conversation:

TWL --- TAIPEI: usually i will say "I test your knowledge!"
TWL --- TAIPEI: hahaha i go sch is to distract ppl one


LOL

Addicted to christmas carols recently! Why are they nice even if they're slow songs e.g. silent night? Can't imagine CNY songs like gong xi fa cai being a slow song. no mood already la!

Anyway, in this lousy week, I -

• Met up with Vivien and Wei Loong on Monday. Viv is damn resourceful, always manages to find some ulu restaurant to eat at. I am too lazy to upload photos from my phone, will probably get it done tonight after kbox (if we go!).
• Went Sentosa (and consequently, shopping at Vivo!) on Tues. Sentosa is starting to look like Orrrrrchard Road, with the amount of construction work going on. The monorail is cool though, albeit a little slow. Unglam photos up once I get them.
• Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks on Wed. It was okay la, not really much of a storyline, but watch if you like their songs! (I have the soundtrack if anyone's interested.)

We also celebrated Wei Yuan's birthday! I TRIED NOT TO BE LATE. (5 minutes, not bad already!) Finally we get to take our sweet revenge on him regarding his first love Sharon. (Okay, he doesn't really suan me, but I'm speaking for others.) Anyway I found my first love! CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE from Secret Recipe! Super shiok.

Sunday was a day of shocking wins! Star Awards and Asian Idol respectively.

1. Star Awards - definitely dark horses for best female/male lead actress! How can someone win best lead actress if she's not even the lead in the show. come on la rui en totally rocks. and since when did the (IMO, lousy) show my father, my daughter manage to get more viewers than PUO JIAN ER CHU... the show is damn good can! and taypinghui managed to win the best theme song prize for the song in that army show. (I don't know why I always associate that song with yang pei an's Wo Xiang Xin.) I still remember the time I was on 179 to school and TVMobile was showing the start of the army show and the song was stuck in my head the whole day! worthy winner haha

Joanne Peh didn't get top 10! too bad MUHAHA. I think she was a little complacent. Learn from Felicia Chin and be more friendly la. I thought Dawn Yeoh looked really nice though!

2. Asian Idol HADY MIRZA... I was listening to 100.3 that day, the DJs were saying that Hady must be damn embarrassed when the results were announced since everyone was better than him yet he won. Several theories possible here -

• Since everyone had to vote for 2 countries, they'll obviously vote their own and a weaker opponent that won't threaten their country, right? Apparently everyone ended up voting for this 'weaker opponent' and he won. HAHA.
• Singapore is richer than the other countries participating in Asian Idol, therefore more $ to spend on voting. (singapore malays are richer)
• He has the whole package (really??)

I think I have suddenly developed some crazy bulleting addiction.

I have an urge to buy Christmas cards!

Taxi fares are damn expensive!
