There were three bloggers who thought I was a girl. I had to tell them I am a guy. Those of you readers who have yet to check my profile, did you think I am a girl too?
But today, let me reveal my true gender.
In actual fact, in reality, I am a girl.
Yes, you read that right!
I am a girl. A female. XX.
Are you shocked?
A few bloggers whom I have met already knew this fact. Thanks for keeping my identity a secret, guys! Anyway, congrats to Rad, Nic and Che-cheh. You three got it right! Sorry I had to lie to you to say that I am a guy!
I would like to apologize to the rest of you who think I am a guy. Sorry!
Didn't you suspect it at all? My name foongpc - is that more like a male or female name to you?
The way I write my post - do you feel it's written by a male or a female?
My avatar - Jing Jing, the famous Beijing Olympic mascot is a male panda, but at first glance, don't you feel it's female?
Why did I need to lie about my gender? Well, it was actually for fun. I wanted to see how my readers react to me as a male. I initially started my blog as a female, but changed my mind after a few posts.
So why now? Why do I confess after all these while? I officially started blogging in May last year. It took me almost one year to finally build up enough courage to make this confession.
Well, it's because of one and only one reason. I am getting married. Yes, my fiance who knows about this blog and also the fact that I am masquerading as a male, is not too comfortable with me lying about my gender.
I've thought it over and I agreed that it would not be very fair to him. So I've decided to reveal the truth.
If you are angry with me for lying to you all this while, please just say what you want to say. I will accept all your comments whether good or bad, I will take responsibility for my lies. If you plan not to read my blog ever again, I will totally understand.
If you are not angry but amused, then please tell me that too. I always like bloggers with a sense of humour!
If you had actually secretly thought I am a girl, do let me know. I want to know how successful I had impersonated as a guy.
And if you are the ignorant ones who have yet to check my profile and had always thought I'm a girl all this while, please tell me too. I would love to hear from you!
OK, now that I've got this out of my system, I want to make a second confession. Which will probably be just as shocking, if not more. But I would like to keep you in suspense. At least make it a big bang before you decide to leave my blog forever, if that's what you intend to do.
But before I let you in on my second confession, I would like to make a final apology to all my readers and blogger friends. Very sorry if I had let you down. I know things will never be the same again.
You will need to scroll down to read it. Are you ready? Scroll down now...
Got cha! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!!! : )
Hope I've fooled all of you! Haha! Of course, those of you who have met me before will know this is an April Fools joke. But to the rest of you, I hope you had a good one : )

gagay, maybe we should tell each other when we publish new posts! But the thing is, sometimes I myself don't know when! Haha! Were you fooled by my April Fools joke? Maybe not cos I think the first thing you did before reading is scroll down to see if anyone already left comments! LOL!
Aiyookkk kena tipu.... grrrrr hahaha

che-cheh, you fell for my April Fools joke? Haha! Really I write like a girl? Maybe that's what attract my readers to my posts, so well, I don't think I will change my writing style! : )
You could have been a trans, for all i care!

+Ant+
p/s my name ain't April, and I'm no fool! :P lolz
Honestly speaking, and sorry if it hurts or anything, I really can imagine you as a girl. It's kinda hard for me to believe you're a guy, really! :D
Anyhow, you got me there.. It sounds real.. Happy April's Fool to you too! ;)
hurm .. I always thought that you were a girl. It never crossed my mind that you were writing as a guy .. but you do write like a girl wor ..
nice try, but u r still a gal to me... dun k... unless u come out n me... lalala...
Hmmph...early morning already gotten shocked by you la Foong! I was abit shocked..but then..wait a minute...there's a catch somewhere. Hey, I remembered you posted a photo of your hairy legs wearing running shoes before so how can you be a girl huh?!! :P
how come now I never get to be FC???!!!
the answer to my own question will be that I'm no night owl like Foong. :P
So early morning (or is it late at night) do April Fool oredi ah?
Foong, I got April-fooled by you first today..hhaha. Hopefully, no more for the rest of today :)
Haha I saw it coming. :P But it's a genuine and new idea of tricking! Hehe... Happy April Fool's day to you!! :)
To my surprise :P. I always thought you were guy.. and was like "what foongpc is girl o.O?" when I read this post lol.
How I know you're a guy? I don't know the fact that in one post you were talking about the haunted hotel, I think from there I have this sense you were a guy.
you got me with this post now. Since I don't know you... I would of really thought you're a girl. lol. Good one ^_^.
I really thought you are a female all this while. Ha....Ha...
i knew it!
i knew that this' gonna be a prank!
im so smart! *smug*
When I start reading I already knew it's just an April Fool prank. :P
Like Mei Teng, I first thought of your hairy legs. Oops! But honestly, I'd be disappointed if you were a girrrrl. You do write like a guy, you know, and I am glad you are one, Foong. Wheeeeeeee...........
Btw, that's a great April Fools joke! But don't try that stunt again! LOL!
Arrrgh!! I got April fooled 2nd time again today...at my workplace..sigh, I am so 'guilible'..haha.
Hahahahah you got me there...good one Foong!
If Foong PC turns out to be a girl, I guess a lot female bloggers will be heart-broken, haha...
Happy April Fool's Day.
Hahaha.. I knew that you had to be joking with us. HAHA
Haha =) I know it's April's Fool all the way! Muahaha!
Happy April Fool's Day!
I know you're not a gal because Jim met you. :P

That is a good try! Haha.
I thought you did operation yesterday! hehe

Luckily I've met you before, so I knew it was April Fool's time! xD

anton, minipads? Yucks! : o
cashmere, it's ok. I don't get offended easily. But try to think of me as a guy lah! Haha! Happy April Fools Day to you! : )
cibol, really? I don't know if that's good or not! But there are people who think I'm a guy so I guess it's really up to the individual! : )
nic, haha! Think what you want but maybe we can meet up one day but I'm afraid once you see my face, I will have to kill you. Muahaha! : )
mei teng, oh my hairy legs - they are a giveaway, yes? Damn! : )
lina, haha! April Fools start at exactly 12.01am what! Even if you are not a night owl, you can still be FC on my blog. Cos I don't post during late nights every time. Sometimes, I do it early morning, sometimes mid day, so it's unpredictable : )
Of course your hairy legs are a giveaway. No gal would dare pose like that!! ;) Haha..
iamthewitch, you didn't fall for my April Fools joke? Oh, I'm so disappointed! Haha! Happy April Fools Day to you. I hope you don't play any April Fools tricks on others : )

annant, yeah, you are the smartest! : )
daydreamer, really ah? That means I fail in my attempt to fool you! : (
happysurfer, don't worry. I won't pull this stunt again anytime soon. Btw, it's good to know you think I write like a guy. Thanks! : )
mei teng, so how many times you got April Fooled today? You are really that gullible meh? : )
Oh, btw, if I am really a girl desperate enough to pose as a man, I will take photos of a man's hairy legs and say the legs are mine! Haha!
mommawannabee, thanks! Glad you got fooled! Haha!
khengsiong, oh don't say that! I think the female bloggers won't even bother! Haha!
angie tan, you knew? You didn't get fooled? Damn! : )
tekkaus, how you know ah? You secretly spy on me, is it? LOL!
eastcoastlife, now I know I cannot fool a blogger who does a lot of blog hoppings! But wait, Jim didn't mention my gender in his blog, did he?
SK, didn't fall for my April Fools joke? Damn! Anyway, thanks for supporting my blog even if I go for a sex change operation in future! Haha!

April Fool’s Day joke has become something of a tradition at this time of the year.
honestly, when i first followed your blog, i thought u were a gal. i guess i'm not alone. haha
OH!
MY!
GAWD!
Sorry, had to do it. Do you realize that your Top Commenter Gagay is spamming your comments section? I'm sure she doesn't even notice, she's too hung up on being in everyone's list that she doesn't know she's irritating a lot of people.
Ha Ha, good one, you got me!
aiseh .... does it really matter whether u are a male or female?
Aiseh... I thought I could take some photos of you and put on my bloggie.

i thought you were a guy or at least gay. LOL.
then...

Good one but honestly, guy or girl or both (LOL!) I wouldn't have been too bothered about it, it is your blog after all and you can be whomever you want to be :D But good one all the same.
Nope, still confused.
That's just me reading it at the end of the day, so...
http://www.genderanalyzer.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffoongpc.blogspot.com%2F
life ramblings, maybe I write like a girl after all! : )
anonymous, I'm aware of that. But I'm not sure if that's really spamming cos some bloggers practise it. Well, I do it too at other people's blogs once in a while. I hope I'm not irritating others : )
pete, haha! Glad I fooled you! : )
johnnny ong, actually, does not matter. But it would matter if I say I'm a guy but actually I'm a girl or vice versa : )
jasmine, haha! Too bad! : )
faisal admar, glad you fell for my April Fools joke! Haha! : )
mariuca, almost got you or completely fooled you? My getting married is to make my story more convincing. haha! : )
raymond, thanks for dropping by! Yes whether I'm guy or girl does not matter, but some readers may not like being lied to : )
bluedreamer27, thanks for dropping by. Sorry, but what exactly are xlinks?
pikey, added you - thanks! : )
eastcoastlife, going by the comments here, quite a lot, I say! Haha! : )
nick phillips, thanks! You are right - I can be who or what I want with my own blog : )
synical, that's interesting! Didn't know there's such a website that can analyse gender of bloggers! But I guess they are not that accurate after all! Haha!
Honestly I wasn't fooled! I knew you were a guy and this is another April fool joke. Lol... wishing you better luck in convincing me next time!
alamax! kena pranked online!!! sheeeshhh.....
Ok now I'm confused Foong. LOL
you had to be a guy. though i'm rather new here. :)
bad one, but still, it's all in the spirit of having fun i guess ...
eiling, how come you knew ah? So smart! Too bad can't fool you! : )
merryn, haha! Glad I fooled you! : )
babette, don't be. I'm a guy. This is based on trust. Hehe : )
J2kfm, why you say I had to be a guy? Why not a girl? haha! : )
seriously, i thought you're a girl.. lol
kenwooi, quite a number of bloggers said that too. Maybe I should try writing a chick-lit novel using a female name to rival Sophie Kinsella. LOL!
Oh Foong, I was about to think of the fantasy sleeping with somebody's wife in one room during our Guilin travel, haha!
jam, stop being naughty! Haha! : )
it's was a nice one! I was reading quite serious and even thought of congratulating you! hahaha
Foong I tell you. Somebody thought that I was a girl too. He even list my blog under "The Dudettes" =.=" ...
ayie, so you got fooled by my April Fool joke? Haha!
shinky, oh you are not a girl? I'm shocked! I thought you are a girl, sorry! Maybe it's the name and your avatar that makes me think so! : )
hehe
No. I'm not a girl. I'm a guy with a girl's heart.
No wait. Was it the other way round? :P
shinky, you are a guy with a girl's heart or a girl with a guy's heart? Big difference between the two you know! So which are you? : )
Cool Post! Didn't realize what was coming.
Btw, I stumbled upon your blog through a friend and I want to know if you are interested in Link Exchange. The link address is Living the EXPAT's Life.
Thank you.
