"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. " (courtesy of time and date.com )

read frm the website that basically leap year is necessary 'to keep our calender in alignment with the earth's revolutions around the sun'. to put things simply, the earth actually takes ~365.25days to rotate ard the sun. if we uses a 365-day calender, each year, we will lose ~0.25 day. so in order to make up for that 0.25 day, every 4 yrs, we will need an extra day. if not, in 100 yrs time, the 'calendar would be more than 24 days ahead of the season (tropical year), which is not desirable or accurate'.

on leap day, cousin alison finally tied the knot. cousin alison should be my 2nd eldest cousin frm maternal side. eldest maternal cousin is her older brother whom i address as ah heng cousin. then followed by cousin alison. then followed by cousin mich who is only 1 yr my senior. heh.

actually not v close to cousin alison, maybe due to age gap. but she's really close to my ah ji. when they were still teenagers and when i was still a kid, i remembered they will meet up every wkend. then every cny, they will go out together after ban-nian-ing at granny's hse. now, my ah ji is a mama and cousin alison also married le.. 时间真的不饶人... 大家......乘年轻想做什么就赶快去做吧!!!! 年轻真的就这么一次 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
