DeleteOkay...On 1st April, I almost forgot that the day is Fool's Day, but luckily no one fooled me. It is amazing that there were so many super tricks in the history. Thanks for broading my horizon.^.^
ReplyDeleteOkay. Since you have had a such flat April Fool`s Day, maybe next time, I can play jokes on you.
DeleteI do not think many people celebrate April Fool's Day here; however, in facebook.com and renren.com, I've seen many other people celebrate it~!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think our lifes in Singapore are a little dull. We have not enjoyed happy festivals. Even in Spring Festival, we don`t celebrate it grandly. I think we should try to make our lifes colorful.
DeleteI have read quite a lot such kind of news and there are always certain people who still have simple minds nowadays. In fact, I even didn't notice April Fool's Day when it came since I haven't celebrate this Festival for a long time. Your blog reminds me of some tricks in primary school and secondary school, such as:" The teacher wants you to go to her office" or " Your shoelace is loose" and so on. Most of the time we were laughing. However, there were certain bad jokes we could not play, or someone would be angry. All in all, those sweet memories should be remembered for our entire lives. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe April Fool`s Day only belongs to us when we are young. But we should not ignore it even though we have grown up because happiness is the essence of the April Fool`s Day, and we need happiness forever.
