Right after 11.59pm on 31st March to 12am midnight 1st April, my friend manage to fool me without me realizing that it was April Fool’s day already. Lol. Having to have revenge on her back but couldn’t able to do so I went on to call a friend of mine to fool him. The story goes like this in a conversation on the phone with my classmate whom I want to fool on.

Conversation was in Cantonese

Me: Jaxus (J), are you free now? I got something to tell you. Serious matter.

J: What is it? I’m rushing for my assignment now. Make it quick.

Me: I did something very wrong. I slept with a promoter girl after my Canon promotional fair. We went clubbing to celebrate because we hit our sales target and I think my drink got rigged and I got myself very tipsy. The next day I know is I’m completely naked on bed with the naked promoter girl next to my arms.

J: OMG…….are you serious here?

Me: Yes, I am serious here. Remember that I told you that last 2 weeks I got a Canon fair in Low Yat Plaza. Right after the last day of fair, I went clubbing and got into this trouble. Just now I had a call from the promoter girl that she tested herself positive that she said she had my baby. I was flabbergasted by the news. It totally stun me.

On top of that, right after I told her that let me think about the responsibilities and hung up the phone, my girlfriend called. She said that she wanna break up with me cause she knew what happened and what I’ve done wrong.

I don’t know what to do now. I’m completely stun and angry of myself and very very sad of the breakup. (*voice very coarse and mellow) (voice sounded like weeping while talking)

J: Calm down, bro. Get your mind straight first. Think of that very day that you got yourself drunk. Try to think on what to say to the promoter girl also. Take care of one issue first. Don’t think about your breakup first. Settle one first then move on to the other one.

Nowadays, there are a lot of con jobs going on. Girls who got themselves pregnant get dumped by their irresponsibles boyfriends. These girls tend to find a scapegoat, a guy of course to take care of them. Normally guys who are very gullible like you,bro. So they do anything they can, do get these kinda guys. I’m sorry to here that anyway. (*sigh)

Me: (* long sigh)

J: Bro, just cool yourself down. Think back what you have done that very night. Plus is impossible for you to get erection on your “little bro” because you are too drunk that night. When you are drunk, you tend to sleep rather than having a lot physical movements like sexual intercourse. So is impossible to get her pregnant.

Me: But she showed the result to me that is possible. (*sigh)

J: Hmmm…just calm yourself first. Then rethink what happened that night ok?

Me: Ok, thank you for calming me down. Between, when is your coursework submission due date?

J: Don’t mention it. Oh, later gotta submit already.

Me: Oh ok. What date is today ah? I lost track of it cause thinking too much on the incident and work as well…(*sigh)

J: Today is April 1st ah. Don think too much ok. Just do your part first.

Me: Do you know what is April Fool’s day?

J: Huh? (*stop for awhile and think)….OMG!!!!!….u bl**dy fool…fooling me when I’m doing my coursework which is due later but luckily I’m almost done already. In my conclusion part now only. U got nothing better to do is it?…isk isk

Me: hahahahaha…I just got fooled so I want to get back the revenge on somebody else only…lol…luckily u are almost done in your coursework…hahahaha

J: You are so gonna treat me one nice meal for wasting my time…hehe

Me: No problem…

The End….
(sorry for late submission because of my PC fair work…i hope u don mind)

1996. We were just entering Form 1. The transition from Primary school into Secondary education was one that gave us great aspirations. Along with the ambition, came the inevitable desire to be enrolled in only the best institution which would ensure exceptional examination results, paving way for what would seem like a bright future. I was lucky that I got into the best school in town, the only school with Form 6, the one which was famed for many achievements and glamorous headlines in the newspaper. I was obviously feeling very proud of myself.

Some of my not-so-lucky friends were listed in other secondary schools that were perceived to be not-so-prestigious. As soon the new academic year reopened, the Education Department would be flooded with parents trying to transfer their children from these ‘not-very-prestigious’ schools into my school. Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they didn’t. I have no particular idea on how the selections were made. But I had an idea on how to make sure my friends don’t feel left out and separated when we parted ways in secondary school.

One eventful day, I rang up Lee, a close primary school classmate who was enrolled in a different secondary school than mine. Below is the translated version from the original Malay discourse.

Me : (speaking in very formal Malay language). Good afternoon, may I speak to Mr. Lee (his full name) please?

Lee : Speaking.

Me : Hi Mr. Lee. This is (I came up with a fancy corporate-sounding name for myself) from the Education Department. You applied for a school transfer from (his ‘not-so-prestigious school’) to (the name of my school) right?

Lee : Yeah…(he was sounding rather confused)

Me : Congratulations! Your application has been accepted. You can enrol into the new school this coming Monday.

Lee : (silence…then after a while came a distinct voice “MOM…??!! Apparently he called his mother on to the phone)

Lee’s Mother : Hello?

Me : (in a more formal voice) I’d like to speak with Mr. Lee (his full name).

(the phone was passed back to Lee)

Lee : Hello?

Me : Hello, Mr. Lee? You can enrol into the new school on Monday.

(silence for a few seconds)

Me : Hey, it’s me lar… hahaha! Happy April Fool’s Day.

Lee : Cheerrrrr!!!!

Me : What are you doing?

Lee : Eating durian…can you smell it?

Me : (took a breath for a second …then felt lame and stupid) Obviously not. Can’t smell durian over the phone lar…

Lee : Hahaha…

Me : =_=”

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Great prank, Michelle. Something so simple, yet people keep falling for it. Right right? Hehee! And Flo herself fell for it, now that is funny, cause I remember telling her to open her eyes cause it’s April Fool’s Day.

Flo herself texted me. Went something like this:

“Michelle, Congratulations!. So, who’s the new heartthrob”

Reply: “Oil palms. Happy April Fool’s Day”

Flo: LOL. Post tat(sic) up in Gina’s website……….

So, that explains what I’m doing here. April fools is not over yet. 6 hours to go. I’m waiting for more drama. Ciao.

So any April Fool’s story you wanna share?

Happy Ester!
