The Leap Year(s)

A day is the time required (24 hours) for the earth to make one complete revolution on its axis. The necessity for leap years stem from the fact that there are almost 365-1/4 days in a year. Consequently common years have 365 days but every fourth one which is exactly divisible by 4, such as 1964, is a leap year with 366 days including 29 in February instead of 28.

1. It is an Irish tradition that women may propose marriage only on leap years. fines be levied if a marriage proposal was refused by the man; compensation ranged from a kiss to £1 to a silk gown, in order to soften the blow.
2. It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves - william shakespeare

In Veritate et Caritate
We are heirs of a glorious kingdom
Of treasures past ages have bestowed
Of the truth wisdom love and peace
We rejoice to proclaim and uphold
Live in Truth live in Faith and Love
Let our light spread and brighten the night
Let our flame warm all hearts and unite

and i was reminded of karen ho breaking the table; shirley ting's pet peeves; lao shi's deeds; angela teh's extra hmwk; lim chok peng's liquid paper; mr foo's lameness; jason's grandstand; issac lim's drain crawling; manjit's trainings; nathan's hilarious scoldings; anddd all the old flames!

i ask my love

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

i ask my love, to take a walk

to take a walk, down orchard road

bypass mandarin, to centrepoint

where we had lunch, at mcdonalds

we had fillet, and an apple pie

we shared a cup, of lemon lime

i held her hand, look into her eyes

and asked her to, be my valentine

when i confined, in LTC
i missed her so, my sweet darling
i promised her, when i broke camp
i'll call her out, and date her out

there was one night, we went night hike
there was no light, so we used torchlight
under the clear moonlight, look into her eyes
and asked her to, be my future wife

she rejected me, she turned me down
she turned away, and said goodbye
i was so sad, now that she had gone
so i turned my way, to the airport

when i reach airport, i was alone
i looked around, and saw my love
there was one guy, standing beside her
i was so sad, that i departed

so i named this song, a sad sad song
cos it broke my heart, and filled it with tears
oh my darling, now that you have gone
left me alone, to sing this song

random sign i saw in taiwan

moongrass

kiss goodbye

go watch! i like
1) the piano
2) leehom playing the piano
3) the snow
4) the christmas tree
you can ignore the girl and the rest of the scenes.

what is cny without a lion dance performance?

need to steal the dog right NOW
isnt it kind of weird (or unique if u want) to have a colonial-like house at the bottom, connected to a modern contemporary structure?

to kickstart the rat year, we have a baby surviving a tornado, the death of an orang utan, and an inaugural flight on the singapore flyer! (kkkk i know its abit out of place. but i just have to put this in! somewhere, anywhere.)

anddddddd its back to school!

(literally drenched in sweat)

second fav photo! lurveee the multicoloured light reflections! playing with sparkles at boat quay!

the heart shape is me! :)

yayness to slow shutter!

last note: just wanted to say that being optimistic goes a long way. pessimism only fuels depression. everyone's life isnt perfect, so maybe if u try to see it from a different perspective, it aint that bad after all. and seriously, contemplating suicide is just being extremely irresponsible.

more pics of The school. since its all im seeing anyways.

A picture doesn't lie -- the one-hundred-and-five-story Ryugyong Hotel is hideous, dominating the Pyongyang skyline like some twisted North Korean version of Cinderella's castle.It's the world's 22nd largest skyscraper has been vacant for two decades and is likely to stay that way ... forever.
