I am not a Princess

Pei Shan was here last weekend. Throughout her stay, 3 of us spent most of the nights having pillow talks. “Princess” was what we frequently chatted about those few nights. Princess in what way, you would ask. Well, according to us, Princess is exactly for those who:

1. Possess soft voice, where 15 db is the best. Exactly, how loud is 15 db? Well, imagine the sound when a pin is dropped from a height of 1 cm at a distance of 1 m. That’s it. And soft voice alone is not enough. If they speak babyish, then it would be much better. Who don’t like manja girls?

2. Has a child-like thinking and is unassuming. They won’t ask you where babies come from, but they will ask something like this – How come there are bad guys, or even worse, do bad guys really exist?

3. Comes from a rich background. It is not a must, but this will be a plus factor, or some sort bonus, as it is able to promote the princess-y in self.

4. Come in small packaging. Oops, what I mean here is they are of size 00 or XXS. Who can tolerate a big size girl (i.e. me) manja-ing around? I myself shudder at the mere thought.


Not me...


Anyway, as conclusion, none of us possess the features listed above. And feigning it seems impossible. So, we can only say it’s fated that we are born like this. But isn’t nice being a princess, where knights come in shinning amour? Well, back to my dreams then.

P/S: These are just the main ones. There are still some other factors contributing to the making of a PRINCESS.

My inner thoughts

It had been ages since I last blogged. Now, I realized a weird habit of mine, where I will always find something else to do when I should be concentrating in doing my stuff. Previously, I was busy with my final year project when I started my new blog. And for now, I SHOULD be preparing for my last 2 finals papers. But then, the mood to blog resurfaces after zillion years.

I realized that friends around me started to find their other half, which I am definitely happy for them. And, if I say it doesn’t make me feel a thing (the impulse to be in a relationship, etc…), then I would be lying. Yup, you see it correctly. I am not in any relationship at the time being. Wonder why I am writing all this stuff? Well, I have been bottling my feelings all of the time. And I think it’s time for me to release them out and I presume that blogging it out will be the best way, since jotting it down in a diary is not something for me.

Anyway, a phone call from a close friend earlier on, made me start to ponder. It has been sometime that we chatted about our personal life, our ex-es, and so forth. Just now he told me that he thinks I would prefer going out with someone smart, outgoing, fun-loving and etc. Maybe he’s right, in a way, in general. But I told him I won’t be surprised that I remained unmarried rest of my life. By then, I will be an old spinster. Sigh… Sometimes I really wonder if I get to meet MY other half, with the falling in love feel and the sparks.

Actually, down with flu right now is the catalyst for all this thoughts. As I don’t have any medicine here, I thought of getting them from the minimart downstairs. But as now is the finals period, the minimart, which is operated by the fellow students, isn’t open. Then, thought of going down the hill to buy them, but isn’t it purely pathetic for me, someone who is sick, to go downhill to get the medicine for MYSELF? I rather continue having flu then. Partially is lazy la… =) But I have my own ego too. I know, if I asked for help from the guy I mentioned earlier on, he’ll definitely buy and bring the medicine to me, as he ferried my roommate to the clinic when she’s sick.

Whatsoever, hopefully there will be someone who asks me and my roommate out for lunch/dinner. Then, I get to buy the long awaited medicine.
