leap years!

Today is February the 29th. And therefore, I just HAVE to write something.

Hmm. Let me see. I don't really have anything to say except that, I watched Leap Years today! Woo hoo! On the leap year date! That has got to be the coolest thing I've done since 2008.

*yay*

The show was quite nice and pleasant and decent, considering it was a local production with 3/4non-local cast. I was just annoyed by the fact that they used different actors to portray the young and old Li-Ann and the young and old Jeremy. Like why coudln't they have just aged Wong Li Lin and goatie boy?

Oh and the other thing I had trouble with was reconciling the fact that they met 3 times in 12 years and decided they loved each other and got married. And also the fact that they had sex the second time they met and after that he told her he has a daughter. (!!) After which she went home and sobbed uncontrollably about her wrecked life (oh no, am I spoiling the show for anyone? hope not. haha). The most difficult part to understand for me was how the characters didn't seem to change after every 4 years. I mean sure, people got divorced and married and had kids but, what about your person? I regret not seeing the characters mature and grow over the years. It just seemed like a static linear progression of time and every February 29th was just another -special- day.

Anyways, this is the end of my post.

Goodnight!
