In May 2005, rumour has it that the Queen will be visiting Singapore in September 05. I have waited and anticipated for the arrival for Her Majesty soon after I had visited her not-so-humble abode in London.

I waited and waited and waited till I had conveniently forgotten that the rumour ever existed. Although I once wondered if this ~rumour~ was just my imagination and was never actually speculated! This whole idea of a monarchy kept a commoner like me all so fascinated. While I idolise the Queen, am at the same time secretly pleased that I am not one of the many Brits tax-payers paying for her extravagant lifestyle so that this plain peasant girl can have fantasies of fairy-tale royal treatment.

Think about this, u will always be address as ~The Xxxxxx of …….~ such that even a very common word like ~the~ is given such importance and prestige with the emphasis of a capital ~T~ and is placed in front of a sequence of fancy title. But the downside to this will probably be that u are given a name so long that writing a cheque to u may pose some problem.

We shall wait no more my friends. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will be here in Singapore, They are probably on the plan as I type and have probably arrived as u read this. This is so bloody exciting, simply exhilarating and wonderfully fantastic!

Welcome to Singapore, Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness!
Long Live The almighty-and-revered Queen!
God Save the Queen!
