Humour me. hur hur.
29th Feb. Never knew it was a somewhat significant date until I heard of the old Irish tradition initiated by Saint Patrick( Brigid of Kildare) in 5th century Ireland. It is said that women may propose marriage only on leap years. Wow.
A person born on Febuary 29 may be called a "leapling". In common years they usually celebrate their birthdays on Febuary 28 or 1 March. I think to date, I've only known an ex secondary school classmate ( Yee Hui ) whose birthday falls exactly on 29th. How special.
