Anyone of you dashing men out there looking for a fun-loving, light hearted girl? Perhaps this post would provide you with an answer.

Pimp Profile No. 001

Name: Mabel C.

Age: Early 20s

Loves: April’s Mud Pie, April (cause she is being pimped by April) and a very, very lucky man

Ms Mabel

Say hello to Mabel, the current object of my pimp-tention. I’ve known Mabel for ten years now, so you can god damn be assured that my recommendation is top notch quality.

Like all Virgos (the only astrological sign to be represented by a human female) is the epitome of a balance of delicate doey-eyed beauty and fun finesse. She doesn’t have to try hard to get to where other girls are dying to get to, SHE’S ALREADY PWND the place.

Then again, she’s not that kind of girl who’s going to throw a nasty bitch fit for not taking her to a dining place with no air conditioning. She’s up for the challenge anytime, any day as long as at the end of the day, everyone had fun!

Mabel loves traveling. In fact she’s looking for traveling companions to Hong Kong in July (any takers?) See one of her many traveling snap shots below.

*wipes off drool* Anyone likey, likey like I do?

Let’s have a brain to go with that gorgeous smile shall we? Intelligent, smart and sensitive to other peoples thoughts, impressions, suggestions and surroundings, she is of course had paved her way through all the top educational institutions available. (Of course same school as me la :P )

It’s nice to sometimes catch her catching a wind or two on her train of thought

Just when you’re about to think she’s only all about herself. Well that’s where you are wrong! She can’t stop giving this woman! Whether it’d be a nice cup of Venti Starbucks, her time and sweat and even her own blood!!

She’s even got that infectious smile on her even when donating blood.

Mabel is looking for a good listener, and would appreciate a man who would give his share of opinions. She’s also in for wits, charm a suave look and someone of her level of education that she can relate to.
Applicants may leave their details in the comments section or contact me via email. The final selection will be left entirely to Mabel for her selection. Good luck boys :)

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 :P Which other girls except us get personally invited to check out the new Christmas goodies and blends? Lucky lucky us!

My name can be so misleading to make people think I’m into the hype of Christmas by ‘April’. I’m such a camwhore even when I’m having my coffee.

Laine is such a good friend. For two nights in a row, she has willingly surrendered herself to being ‘kidnapped’ by me to get sugar and caffeine intoxicated. ON PURPOSE.

This is our favorite Barista! Auntie Cheong Mabel! Just look at her ‘syiok syiok‘ with all that cream! *Licks lips* Mabel loves me so much, she did this on purpose…

But I love her for it… *feels so loved* Here are the other things worth trying! Toffee Nut Latte especially on a breezy rainy night along with a Chicken Cranberry Sandwich for munchies!

So the next time you’re about Starbucks in Leisure Mall, look round the corner for Lainecinno and Aprilcinno (OMG THE NAMES WE GIVE OURSELVES WHEN WE ARE HIGH ON COFFEE) then do something in the Spirit of Xmas, (refer to last photo for gift suggestions).

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… :P

I’ll have to pack a pair of jeans in my car in case I decide to pop by ‘ah beng’ areas last minute.

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 bouquet

April: EH! THROW AT ME!!!!
i catch one. hahahaha

minishorts: 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

I happen to come from a female-almost-militant-style school. A school where each and every girl was drilled with the absolute necessity to excel. We were considered tragic if we were only involved in one extra curricular club, labeled unambitious if we didn’t participate in any competitions, and we tend to scowl at the girls who had more than a lock of floppy fringe not pinned in place…. a creme de la creme school of smart bright women.

It doesn’t stop there. A humongous percentage of us look good, but we try to ground ourselves to humble land when we carry ourselves :P

In our pinafore strapping days, we were the Stepford wives and trophy women for the men who dated us then. highly prized, eagerly coveted, and wistfully sought after.

So in theoretical quintessence, all girls should be arm in arm with a strapping good chap now.Right?Right?
RIGHT?

Sitting on a table of random girls from my school. Most of us have not seen each other for these mere 6 years of our lives. We go on happy with our secure jobs in big firms, our plans to invest in long-term assets, our skincare regime. Until…
“So what’s your story?”

“Single.”

“Single.”

“Single.”

*deathly silence*

SSZ then mentions the ice breaker. “It could be just the ladies from our school. But men JUST AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH THESE DAYS”

The gist of the discussion would end up with all of us not being able to put up with the crap that most girls can take. Men just can’t stand up to the challenge we pose anymore. (And hear this, we are not won over when we agree to have a relationship with you, you will have to win us over everyday for the rest of our lives)

I don’t know about the rest of the girls,

BUT I REALLY CANNOT TAKE MEN WHO MOAN AND GROAN OVER SMALL MATTERS, MEN WHO ARE STILL CHEMICALLY BOUND TO THEIR MOTHER’S APRON STRINGS, MEN WHO HAVE NO DRIVE IN LIFE, MEN WHO GIVE UP SO EASILY, MEN WHO DON’T THINK BEFORE THEY TALK, AND A MAN WHO CAN’T STAND UP FOR HIMSELF WHEN A WOMAN IS INTIMIDATING HIM.

Goddamit. BE A MAN for crying out loud.

I don’t care what’s your high score in DOTA, I don’t wanna know how big your schlong is unless it’s going to earn you a a billion bucks each time it gets photographed. Don’t explain to me you’re looking for yourself by switching courses and directions. If you wanna pretend that you know something I know, don’t go and cut and paste it out from wikipedia.

I don’t mind an ego, as long as you present the license to brag.

Then there are great, good men, men with equally impressive or more superior qualities..who are easily taken away by easy women. (Thus, it does tell us that such men are not worth the time)

MOMMIES & DADDIES, TEACHERS, MENTORS AND ANYONE RAISING A BOY PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!! WOMEN NEED MORE QUALIFIED MEN! (Being utterly overdramatic her already…)
Thank you my alma mater for giving us the ability to stand strong, but I wish it didn’t come with an overpowering ego -_- So great, I have a really great filter, but nothing seems to be coming out of it…. YET.

I wonder if I really should be thankful. Or should I muck around in self-defeat…

Bah, I’ll prolly go put on that new killer dress I bought and strut around looking good whilst shopping for the next analytical book on my list. What a way to start blogging again after a long hiatus

My BFF just got a bunch of flowers in the office on her birthday. Somehow this guy that we strongly believes that he is infatuated with her for God-knows-how-long (although he denies it) made sure she got it IN HER OFFICE.

Although she has made it very clear on many occasions that she feels no ’spark’ and that even as friends she would not like to receive flowers for her birthday from him… she still got flowers.

Embarassed by the stares and curious questions of an entire floor of colleagues she tucks the bouquet under her desk.

The first bouquet in her life….

AND IT HAD TO BE FROM A GUY SHE’S NOT KEEN ON!

I feel her, he totally spoilt the whole excitement of getting her first bouquet of flowers from someone special. Not that he was any less special but you should get the idea.

“The flowers were RED ROSES. They were SOOOO RED April! Since my cubicle is in the center of the whole floor, the entire office is teasing me!”

No ordinary friend would send you red roses. No ordinary friend would send you red roses when he’s in another continent. No ordinary friend would send you roses even if you told him not to.

I’ve gotten flowers before but they were from my someone special at that time, and my family. I personally think this man is trying to show the people around her just how special he is and maybe hopefully use the teases of her colleagues to psyche her into thinking of the possibilities.

“Flowers have a special meaning *frustration* Why did he spoil it *disgruntled* If they were from my boyfriend I would proudly put them on display, but I was SO EMBARASSED I left in in the office over the weekend.”

Haih, men. Even if they want to do good, sometimes it just backfires.

Truly I feel for all female kin who have to go through life in ways similar as I.

Call it high maintenance, I personally call it keeping myself ALIVE AND WELL

Take for instance,

Scenario 1
I was finishing off in the closet trying to get myself a pretty and INCREDIBLY affordable black dress. Unfortunately the lining of the undergarment was making a loud presence beneath the sheer sheen fabric so I was really contemplating on getting the dress all together. I looked at my friend and asked him if the dress would be all it’s worth on me (and I appreciate the forwardness in some men).

He nodded in respect and encouragingly said ‘You got it; flaunt it’

We both decided that it would have been best that I purchase a suitable undergarments before I make the little black dress mine.

So I asked the people who knew best. Undergarment promoters. She picked out a tan one when I said I would like to have a body hugging pair.

All I heard was ‘This one from bla bla, made from bla bla, from bla bla’, as I was gaping at paying RM30++ for a single pair of underwear.

Willing to painfully part with the money, I looked at her in the eye and asked her ‘So…this is going to make the lining invisible?’

“Oh that? No no. That’s JUST body hugging. What you’re looking for is a body hugging SEAMLESS pair.” She then scuttles away, and comes back with a pair tagged with an RM60 price tag.

My male company giggles at and mercilessly pokes the idea that he could buyin my arms and ranted about how much I have to pay just to look good just around the ass. Dammit. a dozen underwears when I can only get a pair. Insecure and feeling that undergarment companies are becoming professional ripoffs, I clutch the purchase like a pot of gold

Scenario 2

Just as I was getting incredibly comfortable with the ever socially homogeneous idea of the 3-step skin care system. Some people in the beauty industry just HAD TO take that a few notches up. Bye bye 3 step. Hello 7 steps!. All in the name of avoiding crows feet before it’s actually your time to have them. A friggin serum, weekly mask, a whitening formula and sunscreen! Geez

Scenario 3
Every month, I have to pay JUST TO BLEED. Nuff said.

AND THAT’S WHY…

Minishorts and I have started up something of our own to cater to a woman’s needs, the practical way :)

Go see what makes us stay so Youthful even in our own such trying metropolitan lifestyles :)
