Was at work on Tuesday and received quite a surprise in my mailbox.
Hi,
Thank you for participating in the Prime Time Morning contest for The Leap Years.
Congratulations!
You have won for yourself a pair of tickets to catch a very special Valentine’s Day screening of The Leap Years at GV Marina.

Cool, I merely signed up for the contest because I was lazing in the living room while Channel News Asia was on and I heard them talking about an online contest which seemed rather easy. So, browsed to the webpage, googled for the answers, and the next thing I know, I got the aforementioned e-mail! Reading through the e-mail, I realised that the movie was on Valentine’s Day! One problem… Who should/could I ask to watch a movie with me on Valentine’s Day? Who would be free on that day anyway? So I asked Joanne and she was free!
So, I took a bus to Suntec today, and went to collect my free ticket to The Leap Years. After that, I walked around Marina Square alittle before Joanne finally arrived after work. The movie was not bad! It was around 1 hours and 40 minutes, and was a nice heartwarming romance movie. There was quite a nice cast too, Joan Chen, Ananda Everingham, Li Lin, Qi Yu Wu, Vernetta Lopez, Nadya Hutagulung as mentioned on the movie’s site. The plot was interesting too, and the movie didn’t make me fall asleep even though I’ve been deprived of sleep the past few days. The soundtrack was nice too, and during the movie I felt the singer’s voice was rather familiar, somewhat like Corrinne May. At the end of the movie, my doubts was confirmed as I heard Corrinne May’s The Birthday Song being played, unless of course only this song was by her, and the rest of the songs were not, which I highly doubt. Also, the movie is scheduled for release on the 29th of this month. At first, I thought it was just a regular date to be released, but during the movie, I noticed that the movie was about “The Leap Years”, and the 29th was a special date chosen for the release. And, I guess I’m one of the privileged few to get to watch the movie 15 days before it’s official release.
After the movie, we headed to Chomp Chomp for our late dinner. It was still rather crowded, and we had to wait quite long for our food. I don’t know how it started, but we ended up chatting about those IRC days. Those were the days, when we were still young and noisy, with energy to log on every night to have idle banter, and flooding of the chat channels. It was quite a nice reminiscence of those days, when we didn’t really have a care in the world, and we all had time for each other more or less. Ok, I might exaggerate a little, but nowadays, meeting up is such a chore, as everyone is busy with work/school and what not, and you would not be able to have a gathering with everyone there. I wish those carefree days were back.
Anyway, heres wishing every single one of you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
PS. Should I get a Canon Ixus 860 IS? This deal at bargain city looks rather tempting, and my hong bao money is looking to be spent!
