The Leap Years ~ Do you believe in fate? Life goes on…
1st Day of March: ZH came to my hse and practise on the piano! Wow… I even became her mock examiner which was real fun! hehe… =p cos I kept giving her real difficult scales which will probably kill myself as well! Watching pple play the piano always made me tempted to take up the skill again! But I guessed it’s tough unless I changed my career path… hmm…
Had wanted to go jogging after that but became a bit lazy and decided to watch "The Leap Years" instead. Was kinda influenced by another fren who claimed that the movie was good and made her rethink abt love… though I had some issues with the names of the leads…
Do you really believe in fate? Even if love only surfaced once every 4 yrs? I used to believe in love without rationality, feelings without compatability, but I’ve grown more rational… I hope… Perhaps it’s because it’s so difficult to find romance in real life, that’s why romantic movies and shows are always popular… 因为难得所以珍贵。Real life is always different from fiction.
Story started with female lead searching for her blue blurry man. On her 24th bday on 29 Feb, she met the male lead @ Windows Cafe. She knew nothing abt him but they have a great time. Unfortunately, he had to leave and made a pact for both to meet once every 4 yrs on 29 Feb. On her 28th bday, she met him again & realised he had a daughter. She left in tears. 4 yrs later, they met again with her pretending that she’s happily married. Both were shattered and cried in their hearts… He didn’t have a chance to make things clear to her. Another 4 yrs passed, @ 36, she chose to marry a good man whom she dun love. (Act I think if the story ended here, it will be more realistic…) His only love letter to her left her running from her wedding & they stayed happily together till he fell into a coma. Finally he woke up on her 48th bday and hopefully they lived happily ever after…
Do u believe such a story exists in real life? That a man will love a woman whom he only meets once every 4 yrs and that the pact they made is the only thing that keeps him going? I seriously dun think so… Even though I was quite touched by the movie and the sleeves of my sweater were practically wet by the time I stepped out of theatre…
我读过一则报道,男人是很健忘的,只记得自己想记得的东西。象杨过这样长情的人,应该只会出现在电影和小说里。 But it’s nice to believe that romance still exists somewhere in this world…
