I did not know that today is the leap year until one of my friends told me that in pure geog lessons and I stupidly thought and answered that she was refering to The leap year,as in the leap year the movie.

February 29, 2008

The year 2008 is a leap year. If you look at a 2008 calendar, you will see that February has five Fridays–the month begins and ends on a Friday. Between the years 1904 and 2096, leap years that share the same day of week for each date repeat only every 28 years. The most recent year in which February comprised five Fridays was in 1980, and the next occurrence will be in 2036. February 29, the leap day, has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.


What is a leap year?
A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days.

The leap year is a significant one, one that happens every 4 year.I think that it is not contrary to The Leap Year the movie.

Mrs Lawrence (Sophie sim) does looks like Lilin Wong, right right?

Her voice sounds like her too !
