366 Days

It's February 29... the day that happens only every 4 years!

Below are some quotes that are featured on the official website of our local production, "The Leap Years", which I found pretty meaningful:

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.
- William Shakespeare

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
- Albert Einstein

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
- Jean de La Fontaine

In three words, I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: it goes on
- Robert Frost

And for those who are in love with the soundtrack that is featured together with the trailer of the movie.. check out the MV below:

The music was the soundtrack of the original motion picture "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" from 1983. It was composed and performed by Ryuichi Sakamoto... (don't think it's by Ricky Ho, who was credited with Original Music in "The Leap Years".. perhaps they were referring to some other soundtrack.)

Latest (as of 07 Mar '08): Amendments were made on the official website of "The Leap Years" with regards to the soundtracks used in the movie. They are:

Feature Original Music by Ricky Ho

Trailer Music Adapted by Robert WS

(Okie... Still no mention of the original composer... and who is Robert WS? Is he given credit for adapting music pieces..? I am honestly clueless. Fill me in if anyone knows how this works.)

Quote

...'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Gains and Losses

Life sucks! And it is a fact that we all have to live with.
It is also a process of gaining and losing. Like how we lose our innocence when we gain experience. And how we lose ourselves when gaining the favour of others.
We all gain something and lose something in the process of living life. Some may lose more than they can afford, while others may have gained more than they deserve. But that is life.
Be thankful when we make a gain. Suck it up and move on when we lose (of course, whine a little along the way). But most importantly, cherish what we already have 'cos we'll never know when we will lose it.
