At 2pm I picked up my girl from school and we were chatting happily when suddenly she exclaimed, "MUM, why is your leg bleeding???" Thank goodness, I was at a stop-look-go junction, I was actually taken aback by her exclamation. Took a quick look at my leg.........and then she cheekily said, "April Fool la!"
Cis... She was grinning away and then I asked her whether she got "tipu-ed" in school or not. She replied, "Iyo, April fool outdated already la, no one does that in school anymore." Really? Then, in that case, what are the IN things the teens are doing these days?
Well, perhaps she is right... I never read or heard much about things people do during April Fool's day.... the last time I got conned was during Patrick Teoh's radio 4 talk show in the morning... anyone remember that??? After that April Fool's joke on the listeners, he was forced to "exit." I miss his talk show after that... I don't understand why some people cannot take jokes one...
How many of you can remember his talk show? How he got the Ousted out of Radio 4... anyone knows? Maybe tomorrow I will talk about him.....
Maybe STP will know about his story..

2ma: u too? me also busy till my girl pranked me.. then only i remember..
caroline: u must tell us how they pranked u.. :)
Was it the time he told people about putting ducks on a hot plate and making them dance? Not sure exactly what got him out in the end...but I do know of times when he was suspended for a week or so because he got his foot in his mouth. Had to go to court once even...I think as a witness in a case against some police guys or what, because of something he said.
ReplyDeleteStudents today like zombies - nothing to do with exams, not interested...and April Fools' Day is too English for them - not surprised if some do not even know there is such a day - same way as they do not know "Jack&Jill" or "Baa baa black sheep"...only know "Three strange tigers"...and the "Three-wheeled Vehicle"...
ReplyDeletePatrick and the duck story i remember,,,,,,, i never put up on prank on people on April fool day,, cos i do it almost any other day.
ReplyDeletegood weekend sis
yes, the dancing ducks... i was listening to his program each week from monday to wed or thursday, i cannot recall. Sometimes Yasmin stayed back to have fun on the radio even when her time was over..
ReplyDeletePatrick till today is very outspoken.. he has a blog, in my bloglist under Niamah.. :p
students nowadays more on FB, PC, SMS... :(
eugene: so u r a prankster la! hahaha.. patrick is ipoh nang but now residing in KL and has opened a restaurant with ducks and chickens as the speciality..

I still remember Patrick Teoh's Sunday slot but it has been ages so how much is fact, distortion or downright fallacy i cannot tell.I vaquely remember him plugging for Zanussi and some mention of fantastic facts and fancies. this was like decades ago
ReplyDeleteYup, Patrick got booted out all bcoz the idiot info minister wanted to spice up something to get attention ma.
ReplyDeleteWell, Pat's now entertaining us via his blog, and I really enjoy reading it! :)
+Ant+

sasha, he is your BIL??? gosh!! that is great.. tell him i miss his talk... his sarcasm.. hehehe.. i love the way he talked to those who called him.. i remember my colleague and i, both of us taking our transistor radio and putting them on our office tables.. low volume but could still be heard and how we enjoyed our mornings then.. ie until wednesday.. then we look forward to mondays again..
I was driving home from church today and the idiot on TaxxFm (that's what they call the English service of RTM now) played "Do you hear what I hear?" - a Christmas song! Good grief! It's Good Friday!!! Just about shows what kind of people we have on air these days - don't even know what songs they are playing! Tsk! Tsk!!!
