today is a special day..
29th feb, a date to be seen every 4 yrs..
had my second paper just now at 7pm..
what a way to spend this day..
study in the morn, study in the afternoon, working on exam at night..
dun worry, i'm not talking abt my paper..
in case u r wondering what i'm going to type on..
haha..
anyway, my dad fetch me home after exam, heard from the radio station that today there's a higher percentage of couples engaging at ROM as compared to
29th feb 2004.. i made a comment by saying something like,
'what a day to engage, then the anniversary will be celebrating once every 4 years? haha'.
'no la, still will continue to celebrate every year de la'
'then wont be like very pity meh? 4 yrs then can have an actual celebration. haha.'
then, he asked mi whether i know about the history of leap year. before i can reply him, he explained the reason behind it to me..
'cos due to the earth revolving ard the sun, every year there's
extra 5hrs 4Xmins XX secs, then by the time it accumulates to the 4th year, it's approximately equals to 1 additional day, so we get 366 days in the 4th year.'
i was amazed when he mentioned the timing
5hrs 4Xmins XX secs! cos he remembered the exact timing! i put 'XX' cos i had already forgotten le! oh gosh.. anyway, applaused for my dad and his memory! wonder if i still have good memory if i ever lived till his age.. lol..
(btw, my dad's eye sight is superb sia, no 近视, no 散光, no 老花! whatever eye related problem is none of his business.. hoho..)
[note: above conversation is carried out in chinese(of cos!); posted is a brief one, not typing out word for word cos i had short term memory you see.. lol]Labels: thoughts + feelings
