Thanks for what i couldnt have been

I am happy today..... very happy....

Why?

Because:

1) I may not be as sophisticated and know as many friends, but i am wise to know that a pure true heart never needs that many friends

2) I may not be as beautiful nor have a model-like face, but i know that i am confident to know that i am good enough

3) I may not be as happy, but i know that i would not have to tell a tale to hurt another or a lie to make me happy

4) I may not be as rich and abundant, but i know where the real wealth in life resides


For the many things that i had wished i could be but never had been, i believe there is a reason why.

And i say a thank to all the things that i could never be.

The flower blooms in June

The flowers are blooming nicely this summer, which is a surprise. Last year, they were a total mess. Not this year. They are very nice this year.

And against the window pane, as the sun shine through, with the light reflected on the translucent petals of the flowers, it is a picture perfect moment.

I sat on my couch motionless with a cup of hot tea in my hand. The mind was not anywhere but here in this moment. I was literally watching the flowers and feeling the warmth of the cup against my two petite palms.

"Such a lovely day" i said to myself. In fact, i had never enjoyed such a day for a long long while.

I walked across the room and picked up a book on the shelf and begin to read again. The book must have been left on the shelf forever, covered with dust. Apparently, it had never been read before.

"The flower blooms in June by Enite Dorothy" i read as i wiped away the dust from the cover.

"What an appropriate title" i thought to myself with a smile on my face.

"A woman in her late thirties re-discovering the joy in simple things in life. As she started the hobby of gardening, she saw her love blossoming as well - a new neighbour whom had just moved in from the city...." goes the sypnosis.

"When and why on earth did i buy the book for?" I asked myself, almost ashamed of myself for purchasing a book that is so blatantly made for the love-deprived, desperate middle age woman who craves for that glimmer of hope.

"I do not need this now" i thought to myself as i put the book right back to where it deserved to belong.

Up there, on the shelf, unwanted and totally not needed.

Well, now the tea gone cold & the flowers doesnt really seemed as picture perfect anymore.

Sigh.

Yes, the flowers had bloomed in June this year but is love really on the way?

The princess waits forlornly.

The Princess Gives It Up

I give up.

3 little words.... seemed so loser.... yet so empowering

Sometimes, in life, the key to having it all is to know when to let it all go.....

All of them, Let it go!

Suddenly, like a size zero super model, the princess feels so unbearably light... almost like a cotton-candy in the mouth of a hunky dory

The princess finds herself like a recipe from Nigella Lawson; Glamourous without the frills.....

Like the clear blue skies, as the birds fly by, the princess knows everything's gonna be all so fine.... :)

Baby baby, i stay in Love with you

Mariah, Mimi, Diva

Absolutely fabulous.....

She is really ridiculous but yet amazingly talented.....

Such a joy listening to her all the time.......

This song is a must-listen......




I really like her better after her divorce... As if all her repressed feelings suddenly flow out into her music and her songs.....








Yes, Mariah, i stay in love with you.

Back to Glamourhood

So weeks ago, YSL passed away, old & frittered.....

And Naomi got busted again for throwing her hissy fits in UK.......

Sexy Serbian Tennis star Ana Ivanovic won her first Grand Slam........

And the princess? She clipped her fingernails last monday night.......

"What the f@#k is happening???"

It just seems that so much is happening around the world while the princess is doing her mandane tasks of mopping the floor, working her ass off and making the bed.....

I mean, i witnessed Hillary's presidential race faltered while i was wiping the table top. How sad can life be?

How did my life ended up to be that of a single desperate housewife? I had always wanted to be THE

1) Ill-fated fashion designer that passed away, killed in some back alley
2) Hot supermodel that graced the runway of Milan
3) Sexy tennis star feeling the grass of wimbledon

Perhaps, a little closer to reality...... I could have been
1) The next Paula Abdul for AMerican Idol
2) Donald Trump's new hot sexy Apprentice
3) A gay icon sex columnist
or as Madonna puts it nicely.... "on a cover of a magazine"

I guess, i could have sidetracked alittle along the way to glamourhood.... But its not too late..... Nothing is too late... Never say never. I will just pick up the pieces, dust the burdens of my back, and strut back to glamourhood from here on......

At the end of the day, if all else fails.... I just settle for a nice man to hold on to....

Definitely Maybe

Is romanticism still very much alive and kicking?

Definitely, maybe.

















Sometimes, it is so difficult to fall in love ...... Not to even mention, falling in love with the right person... It almost seemed impossible....

I have often wondered, once a time ago, why people can be so jaded and bitter when it comes to love and relationship?

Doesnt anyone believe in that anymore??

But then again, can i really blame these people?

After all, in the show, Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds), after two failed proposals, one very bad break-up and a marriage, he hasnt found real love still........

Ironically, love, only came to him, over a divorce.... after much heart breaks and so much missed opportunities....

It is no wonder people can get so jaded with love....

But again, who knows, the right one could just be standing in front of you.... after many bruises and battle scars..... just before you want to throw it all over and say that love does not matter to you anymore....

I was glad i made it to the show..... It had filled my heart with hope ... once again.... after so much fruitless attempts at romance had left me almost as jaded as the people i had felt sad for....

I truly believe Love will eventually come..... if not today, tomorrow or the day after......

Meanwhile, the princess truly hope that Sex & the City; Movie will be as inspirational and moving as Definitely, Maybe.....

Diary of a Male Model

Today I lost one of my closest friends. His name’s Edna.

I have known Edna for the longest time, close to 17 years, since we were in secondary school.

As all male model always say, I remember being a small sized, puny kid in my early teens- quite, shy and so ever studious. (Its all true!!)

Edna then, on the other hand, was part of the in-crowd, popular with both the boys and girls. (And i wonder why? Hmmmmmm.....) Maybe, he was active in various activities like dancing and debating…

I remember wanting to be popular like him.

Unlike some of the other classmates, Edna was kind enough to extend his friendship to me and although we weren’t the closest of friends back then, I appreciated his gesture. He was not only popular but kind.... One in a million... And i always remembered him...

A few years later, in my late teens I met Edna again in the army. Things were different now..... I had changed since then..

More confident now and taller than most in the crowd, I was already on my way to be Singapore Next Top Model (for male model, of course)!!!!

Anyway, back to the story:
I was surprised and delighted to see Edna again. Back then, I was still quite staunch in my Christian faith.

During those tough difficult days in the army, both physically and emotionally, Me and Edna would pray together and share meals while we were out in the field. Our bonds of friendship grew stronger and we would talk about everything under the sun/moon.

Those were some of the happiest times for me.

Some episodes and people in your life you will never forget, and this was one of those for me. I remember being disciplined by my Platoon Commander, early in my army years, by being made to do push ups in front of the entire platoon…
Although those punishments were really nothing much for me.. the hunky new Top model-to-be……(cause I must have done push ups a thousands more times than the punishments), Edna stood up for me and promptly scolded the Platoon Commander back…

However, We lost contact after that… for a few years…… until……..

The Singing Sirens

Before the princess became the princess, she was already famous for her role as one of the "Singing Sirens" in the camp of men.......

Sweet, breathy voice... (something like Britney) with a touch of innocence had always been a trademark of hers..... At the very peak of her popularity, she was billed "Faye Wong" of the battalion; An angelic voice in the sea of hoarse, coarse noise.....

And every star would have a Backer.....in those days...... The Plastic Princess had led a very privileged life under the protective wing of her man.... (Pretty much like the geishas in the past...., Each with our strict code of conduct!)

I can still remember the times when the Princess and her fellow virgin maidens gather in the still of the night waiting for the last call of her man before she gets sent off to bed..... Training hard and practising their skills....

One last song for the boys..... they always say.....

THose were the days.....

Though now we have each gone our own seperate ways... the Singing Sirens will never forget.... the songs that they sung... the men that they had.... & the bonds that they made......

Chocolat - whats ur flava, sista?

Do you like your chocolat, white..? milk?.... or simply dark??? THe one-half sista of Avalon asked the princess out of the blue one day over a lavish dinner....

ANd the princess was dumbfounded for a while.....

These days, the princess find herself leaning alittle bit towards the dark side when it comes to chocolat...... without herself consciously knowing it....

Could it be age catching up and exposing you to the finer things in life, i asked myself?? or just the urge to try something else other than the usual suspects..... But whatever, it is really no big deal whether its white, milk or dark chocolat for the princess....

It has come a point in time when the princess is just simply grateful to have a little piece of chocolate in her mouth..... Yum Yum......

Anyway, nowadays, with the wide variety of assortments of different flavours and fillings going around, it is never as simple as it seems. Just like what Forrest Gump once famously said.... "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get...."

And Its true.....

Because just as the Princess and the Avalon Sista was deep into our profound conversation on chocolat, the princess' sharp bright eyes had spied the high priestess of architectural style eyeing on some milky brown chocolat on the shelves; not paying attention to us at all!!!

Horrors of horrors...!!!! The traditional high priestess of architectural style actually had a secret desire for milk chocolate; going against her traditionistical view that a fair lady should always have her chocolate, well.... hmmmm.... fair as well?

Realising her boo-boo, the high priestess quickly join in the conversation ..... " I like chocolat of every kind....!"

Hmmmm....... For Better or worse, liking chocolat of every kind??

And then Avalon Sista quickly interrupted: "As long as chocolat is just freshly out from hot factory, it is will be just right for moi!"

Well, for the down-to-earth and mass appeal Plastic Princess, she just love her chocolat with lotsa lotsa of nuts no matter whats the flava.....

Signing off,
Yours deliciously,
Princess P

Why Should I Be Sad?

Heaven knows….

It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (OK)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (All right)
It's time for me (Princess, let's go)

BRITNEY SPEARS- WHY SHOULD I BE SAD!!

Britney Spears Why Should I Be Sad lyrics



I like this song..... ,in fact, the whole album. But, especially this, this song is just so sorry for Britney....

As if a form of rationalisation on her downfall, her wrong choice of men and everything else...... and how that it has reached rock bottom.

Yet, still, it is a little defiant on how it is not her fault on the way things had turned out and why should she bear the brunt of it all....

And i like that.....

I mean, seriously, why should anyone be sad when
A) its our actions that had resulted most of our predicaments
B) the situation is really not within our control...

So, i still still love Britney for being flawed, vulnerable and yet so wise and shrewd at the same time.......

The next time when the princess is on the verge of falling into dispair on not finding that perfect man and screwing that "all so important project"......

I will tell myself....

"Why should i be sad?"

The Xian Gu Chronicles – Attaining Immortality

THe second piece from the sista of Avalon....

Shui Xian is still grieving over the fact that she and Ong Lai has been sent to different sects. Shui Xian is in Yi Dao Sect while Ong Lai is in Si Dao sect. Everyday, Shui Xian could only dream and think of Ong Lai. In Ji Feng mountain, Yi dao sect, Shui Xian began to know more and more people.

All these people (including moi), just like Shui Xian are here at Ji Feng mountain hoping to become an immortal one day. There is Lazy Mu Dan who does nothing but to laze around and flaunt her yoga poses, there is moi, who does nothing but to scold vulgarities, there is Ma Lian Jian Ren who does nothing but to write scandalous diary, there is expensive apple who does nothing but sound nasal and finally there is Plastic Princess who tried to rival Shui Xian and does nothing but being plastic…

Even though there are so many of us accompanying Shui Xian in her path to immortality, she is still not happy as she is missing Ong Lai a lot. Shui Xian became really depressed and as a result couldn’t concentrate on studying Dao and made a lot of mistakes along the way. Eventually, she was punished by the head master of Yi Dao Sect, Mok Gui Dao Zhang and was made to stay behind at Ji feng mountain while the rest of us were allowed to go down the mountain to see our relatives.

I still remember clearly on that day while we were walking down the mountain, Shui Xian was blasting a song. A song from Madonna called ‘You’ll See’….. It goes like that: “All by myself, I don’t need anyone at all, I know I’ll survive, I know I’ll stay alive”…

Just when Shui xian was at her lowest point, an aspiring peranakan actor appeared and joins the Yi Dao Sect as well. The appearance of this aspiring actor certainly brought some light into Shui Xian’s life. This aspiring actor just loves to act and he acts so much that Shui Xian started to develop feelings for him.

Time and time again, Shui Xian confided in me, telling me how much this aspiring peranakan actor looks like another rather famous peranakan actor, Pierre Png. Eventually, Shui Xian managed to get what she wants and befriended this aspiring peranakan actor. They became such close friends and day in day out, they will practise Dao together so that they can become Xian Zi faster than anyone of us.

Time pass by faster than anyone could imagine.. It’s time for Shui Xian to go through her last trial and tribulation in Ji feng mountain before she could become an immortal. During one of the night exercise to practise our ability to shoot down the demons with our ‘Fa bao’, Shui Xian was made to go through her last trial and tribulation. I still remember it was late in the nite as Mok Gui Dao Zhang made us stayed up late into the nite. Shui Xian started to feel bored and thought she should start practicing what she is best at doing….

Public Relation… (In short PR).

She spotted a stranger who looks rather cute and went to the stranger, tried to start a conversation asking him which boot camp he was from. The stranger gave a one word answer and ignored Shui Xian thereafter. Shui Xian was fuming mad and vowed to add this stranger into her black book. When she decided on that, she started to float and a white light shone on her from above and then all of us heard heavenly father speaking.

This is what he told shui xian: “Shui Xian, congratulations, you have successfully gone through 77 49 trials and tribulations. Your last trial has determined the Xian that you are going to turn into. I hereby declare you Shui Xian as the Xian Gu of Black book.” Thereafter, Shui Xian floated up to the sky to the heavenly father to receive her decree from him…

The Xian Gu Chronicles - The Early Days

Brought to you from the Sista of Avalon:

Long long ago in the small town of Huang Pu lives a young sweet girl who aspires to be an immortal. When she was born, her mother gave her the name ShuiXian as she is as pretty as the Water Lily flower.When Shui Xian reached the age of 13, she decided togo up the hill and learn the skill of immortality withthe monks. As the Monk's hill monastery only take inmonks, Shui Xian decided to disguise herself as a man so that she could fulfill her dream of becoming animmortal. Shui Xian went through a grueling 4 years at the monk's hill monastery, working really hard to achieve her dream.

Just when she thought that she was near her dream, she was discovered by her fellow monks that she is actually a Huang Hua Da Gui Nu. Upon learning that, the grand master of the monastery expelled Shui Xian and wanted to take away all the magic which she had learned for the past 4 years. ShuiXian was devastated and pleaded with the Grand Master to let her fulfill her dream. The kind hearted GrandMaster could not bring himself to shatter her dreams, Hence, he told Shui Xian that if she really want to become an immortal, she has to go down the mountain to experience 77,49 trials and tribulations at AJ bootcamp and Ji Feng mountain. Left without a choice, ShuiXian agreed to it and made her way to Ji Feng mountain. While Shui Xian made her way down the mountain, she came across a handsome young man who set her heart-a-flutter.

Shui Xian thought to herself that if there is any man that she is going to marry, it has to be this young man. Hence, Shui Xian started to flirt withthis young man and found out that the young man, whosename is Ong Lai is also on his way to AJ boot camp.Shui Xian was elated on hearing that and started planning in her head on how she can seduce Ong Lai andeventually settle down with him. Shui Xian and Ong Lai eventually spent 2 years at AJ boot camp where they were tortured and beaten and there, they went through 48 trials and tribulations together.

During these 2 years, Shui Xian and Ong Lai have forged such a close friendship that they almost become an item. Ong Lai was extremely confused during that time by theandrogynous looking Shui Xian. All these while, OngLai thought that he is a true man and will eventually marry a girl of his dream but the appearance of ShuiXian has caused him to be confused about hissexuality. Just when Ong Lai thought that he is notgoing to be bothered by whether Shui Xian is a guy ora girl and was about to express his love for ShuiXian, they received a call from the heavenly fatherwho told them that it¡¯s time to go to Ji Feng mountain where Shui Xian will receive her last trialbefore she can become an immortal.

What really devastated Shui Xian is that though both of them aregoing to Ji Feng mountain, they will be in different sects. To Shui Xian, this is really a torture worse than the 48 Trials and Tribulations that she has gone through as Ong Lai is so near yet so far¡­

My name is Maggi

Or was her name Linda E or Grace Jones or Christy Turlington…?

Anyway, Maggi strikes terror in the heart of many army guys everytime she storms pass by... like Naomi Campbell on double quick time.......

Could it be that intimidating, towering figure of hers..... or that condescending look that sends shivers down your spine.... maybe it was her trademark sneer, perfected thru the years, rivalling Linda E's famous pout......

Maggi was anything but forgettable..... Her life was the stage...

She was the one who makes training in the toughest terrain looked as if she was posing for the cover spread of Victoria's Secrets…. Always a breeze, without a sweat.....

And famously demanded a million dollars or she would never get out of her Army Bunk Bed but then jumped right out of it at the very first sight of hot chicken wings.....

Always dishing out words of wisdom like mother hen to her broods...

She has so many facets that it is difficult to pin this very talented, always beautiful chameleon down to just one character.

One thing always stood strongly against the fickleness of the world; she was always resilient, determined and graceful under fire…. no matter what… (maybe except when she is hungry for food though)

Maggi, my good old sista, was really indeed a class of her own (just like the princess)….

Sometimes, I wished I was a little more like her…… Other times, I wonder what it must have been to be her, living up to all the hype and expectations…

But most times, the princess just wanna laugh with her like the old good times...

Love at Midnight in the Tank

They say, in a cold, hard & lonely place, like the Army camp, it is always easy to seek solace in the arms of another.

But that’s just physical comfort, nothing more…..

But love grows on you, sometimes….. Loneliness, insecurities & aimlessness of life feeds you with that yearning to belong…..

The plastic princess can still remember:

He was a man of few words, the rebellious silent type with the ever intense look in his eyes; always brooding as if he had a secret burden that was hurting so deep inside - a secret burden waiting to be lifted up by the right pair of loving hands.

The princess was, on the other hand, cheery and chirpy, never a care; always carrying a sweet smile on her face as if blessed with the easy contentment of life.

We were two worlds apart, never meant to meet. He in his darkest dungeon, alone and aloof. I was in the rose petal gardens, smelling the flowers.

Yet away from the maddening crowd, in the cold still of the night, is when the feeling grows the strongest yet…… two different people, both seeking to belong

And that very night our bodies first touched. The warmth of his chest against my back; His beating heart had fused with mine as we get intertwined.

It was nothing of the ravage craze that was driven by smell of flesh or lures of physical satisfaction. Instead, it was a sense of two souls trying to seek meaning that very night as their naked bodies seek the warmth of each other.

Both of us were as confused with what was happening as we were silently contented with it as well. As we turned and glazed into each other’s eyes, we must have felt it deep inside; this moment in time will always be etched in our hearts.

Who would have thought that the cold steel body of the army tank could hold so much passion & love inside?

Sometimes, love is that beautiful moment of needing to belong.

The Horses Mouth

Mdm Horse, quite the expert at mouth-f3cking, had always seemed to be the dark horse in the competition of popularity in the crowded camp of men.....

Perhaps, she was neither the ones who would charm men with her looks nor the ones who could kill men with her charms..... In the league of the original supermodels, she was never quite up there......

Until one fateful day, i can still vividly remember, when her little black book was stolen from her drawers, and read aloud by the two sistas of Avalon...

Though even til now, we are still not quite sure if the book depicts accurate narration or was merely a work of pure fantasy, the camp sistas were captivated by the torrid physical love affair between her and her well-endowed man...... A series of explicit description of sessions left nothing to the imagination (especially with the clever edit and story telling skills of the two sistas of Avalon)

Almost an overnight sensation, Mdm Horse had became famously known as "The Mouth", earning top billing with "The Body" Elle Macherpson, "The Face" Christy Turlington, "The Charm" Helena Christensen & "The attitude" Naomi Campbell.

She was the "IT" girl of the month (and many months after)...... So it shows.... a natural talent and a lot of publicity can really go a long way......

The Army Memoirs

The princess can barely recall the date when she was enlisted to the army.... The memories had slowly faded away..... the good along with the bad.....

And after 10 over years of living with the hot-blooded brotherhood of men, toiling in sweat and tears with her men, the journey has finally came to an end...

The plastic princess cant help but ask herself:

"What have i learnt in the many years in camp?"
"What have i gained from it??"

Other than the occasional s@X, the regular ogling at cuties and the more often than not flirting with the guys...... Was there nothing else??

This chronicle follows the arduous journey of the glamorous princess from an innocent young gal to a disillusioned bitch at the end of her army life.

Along the way, her darkest secrets will be revealed, glimpse of her sweetest romance, broken promises and the unbelievable stories of her sistas ever to be told .......

An explosive tell-all never before.......

Watch out for:

The Army Chronicles :-
1) The horses mouth
2) Xian gu and her seven immortals
3) Love at midnight in the tank
4) My name is maggi
5) The singing sirens
6) Mushroom head of the evil sect
etc etc....

The Singapore Flyer Girl

What a wonderful pleasant feeling for the plastic princess standing so high up here on the Singapore Flyer.

Bright lights... brighter hopes........

From here, you can see & feel the hopes of the City...

To the left, the birth of the city's latest creation.... the Casino.... is slowing taking place. You can almost feel the allure of chance, glam & cold hard cash from way up here.... Nearby, rows and rows of high-end luxurious apartments have begun sprouting up too. Each higher than the previous ones, Each claiming the water-front view that justifies their heavenly price....

To the right, we see the ever-vibrant night sky lighted by the skyscapers of the Central Business District...... At this height, huge logos of the Multi-National Corporations shines brightly at you ... like the sirens of the night.

Up here at 165 metres above ground, one can really lose their sense of reality to the amazing scenery that so seduces us. There seemed to be a sense of euphoria; that everything is so dandy and fine..... A blurry mess but yet all so rosy nevertheless...


I guess sometimes life is like that...... You just got to bring yourself up to the highest level and rise to the challenges to see beyond your present state.

Everything seems so much better.... up here instead of down below even though its all the same in reality......

The Plastic Princess, a Singapore Flyer Girl,...... Living life sky high.......

2008 is beginning to be such a fabulous year.
