Laine and I are such bloody coffee addicts… one of our favorite hang outs would have to be the Starbucks outlet in Leisure Mall cause we’re really ‘tight’ with the baristas there 
Which other girls except us get personally invited to check out the new Christmas goodies and blends? Lucky lucky us!
I turned around at my usual Starbucks at the call of my name…
‘APRIL YIM!!’
‘Eh, hi, hi!’
‘You going clubbing ah?’
‘No lah. Why do you think so?’
*Points finger at outfit* ‘What are you wearing then?’
Elaine, my favourite ‘bobo‘ calling friend then explained..
‘Woman, technically what you’re wearing is hot pants lah, and in such a Chinese-old fashion area.. is damn eye catching lor.’
I really wasn’t expecting to actually go to that area cause we both were in Bangsar earlier on for sushi and some shopping. But yeah we caught the attention of a really hot gym goer who did a double take on us. Prolly cause of my ‘hot pants’ woman…
I’ll have to pack a pair of jeans in my car in case I decide to pop by ‘ah beng’ areas last minute.
OH MY GOD WHAT IN THE WORLD, WHY THE HELL AND WTF AM I RANTING SO MUCH?
I’ll be so busy I got my schedules packed until 2008.
This is damn ridiculous.
Anyone want to come to Live & Loud KL with me and me mates?
Everyone in the blogosphere probably knows by now that my good friend minishorts is getting hitched soon 
I’m really excited for her and to be involved in her wedding plans!
So there is this woman planning and budgeting and she is upset with how much flowers can cost. Through such conversations. We have very much concluded …
Minishorts: i’m not going to throw it because stupid malaysian women jump away when they throw it
i been to 5 weddings with throwing bouquet
NO NEED lah sampat only throw the bouquetApril: EH! THROW AT ME!!!!
i catch one. hahahahaminishorts: YOU SAMPAT i give you lah after that
i kid you not
the bouquet is the most useless accessory a bride has
dunno who last time say have to do very big now you know why i say overprice ..stupid corsages are a waste of money
FLOWERS ARE DAMN EXPENSIVE THINGS AND USELESS.
but what to do? nice mah…
Hillarious. Anyway, back to bouquet catching.
The last time I stood in the crowd of fighting young single women. Being tall obviously I stood in the back. I looked down on my feet.
I heard screams and I looked up. If it were’nt a bouquet of flowers, I would have broken my nose. Well..looks like I’m going to catch the bouquet without even putting up a fight. I’m going to be given the bouquet. The first bouquet must be a hoax…not married yet also. :p
Thanks very much to Pelf for help putting up this interview together to get it featured on www.domestikgoddess.com
Thanks again Pelf!
I thank my parents for giving me the name I have now. Though it has a penchant for leaving me suffixes (e.g. -fool) conversational/pick up lines that are far too predicatable. April is a nice name that gets me places…especially when you’re in a country other girls rarely have this name.
However until today, people still keep christening me new, unique and urm, well. misleading names. Here’s what I remember.
Ms. Bossy- Given to me by my cousin Allistair. When this boy of 7 years came back to stay with his 3 year old cousin sister and family. He brought back some really AWESOME M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand) figurines. Somehow the dude actually befriended the opposing criminal organizational band V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem) in one of his imaginary playtimes. In my fragile little 3 year old mind was a neon bllboard of information popping out…YOU DO NOT MAKE MATT TRAKKER AND MILES MAYHEM SHAKE GOD DAMN HANDS! (GAWD, WHY DO I REMEMBER ALL THIS POINTLESS INFORMATION)Disgruntled that should NOT be the way to play M.A.S.K., I snatched each figurine away and dictated him how to play it the RIGHT way.
Tau Fu Poh (Bean curd auntie)- I eat meat like I’m on a vengance spree to kill animals that have defied my human sanctity. I never ate a single leaf of vegetables until I turned 18 or 19. But if there was one vegetarian bit I loved was bean curd (Tau Fu). Between ages 5-9 years old, every family meal ALWAYS had Tau fu JUST FOR ME.
Saboh Queen (Short for Sabotage Queen)- Given to me by my bro/sis cousins Jamie and Andrew followed by other cousins, Rene, Collin and Richard. On the occassion, that I completely dumped my 14 Barbie dolls and sold my soul to Sega and Nintendo Consoles, I would challenge my older cousins to games. Everything from organ ripping duels in Mortal Kombat, IQ Puzzles, and of course…RIDGE RACER! I always teased every opponent giving them false hope to win and then give them a slow, dying suffering death.
Ostrich-with-a-flat-nose - This is one I shall never ever forget. Poh Leng, my form 1 class mate (the braniac of the class) said that’s what my name spelt backwards (Lirpa) probably meant. Being Naive and I certainly didn’t want to burst her bubble, I was potrayed as an Ostrich in drawings in the classroom. I did object however that Ostriches cannot have flat noses cause they have BEAKS and I most certainly do not have a flat nose myself.
Whale - Marie did this to me. I can’t remember what sparked this. But I must have been swimming like one since we were both in Swimming club together. How disrespectful of her to call her Vice President of the club that hahahha!
Pink Lady - One of most well embraced nicknames. I liked the reason behind it but not the name. It sounded almost like I was dressed in an Victorian dress but with carrying pink porkies under my arm. My choir girls gave this to me while I was reigning as President of the club. I had everything in pink. From a pink liquid paper, to pink staples and even a pink coloured geometry set! I had it all!
Sneezing Banshee - The origins of this name seem very blurry to me. I can explain that it’s because I have a sneeze that is measured between 6000-8000 Hz. Ear piercing. You DON’T WANT to stand next to me when I settle my reflexes.
Ronda Queen - Ah mom calls me that. I’m daring and adventurous enough to go driving anywhere and everywhere alone according to her.
Deep Throat - The Blogosphere has been kind enough (or cruel) to bless me with this name for my uncanny ability to down a large chunk of food down my esophagus in one raptor like swallow. I can (and will if there is a dare involved) swallow a whole piece of cake down in one gulp. Think Secret Recipe size. I got alot of emails and requests from fans when this video was posted up…but to answer your curious minds…. I HAVE NOT TRIED OKAY?
Make Up Monster - Yes I am one. I have more makeup than a fingernail clippings a human being can cut off in a lifetime.
Now…what other nicknames have you got for me?
