The Girl
Paperdoll, known as sin to friends, was born 1985 in Singapore. She is a vainpot, an oddball, a francophile, an educator-to-be. This space is her blank canvas to fill in with thoughts, stories and sights of her adventures. She’s now in Paris, where she has been living and wandering for the past seven months.
Only Daughter/ You got your ticket too soon/ Holy Water/ ‘Cause everybody’s getting ruined/ They are waiting to see what you do/ Too long, waiting
Everybody’s cleared the room/ And they’ll dress you up/ Stand you in all the right places/ Words like honey/ Smile as they change your faces/ With no regard to you at all/ And you find they treat you like a paper doll
And they’ll dress you up for the flight/ Like Ophelia, you wave goodnight/ With the earth and sky you cheer and cry/ Writhe as all your days go by/ And laugh as you die
Sweet softer shoulder, oh sweet sugar safe
Everybody’s got their own life philosophy/ And I can’t wait till I/ Find one coming to me/ Oh, the bridge is narrow/ You better not look down/ ‘Cause as soon as you jump over/ You won’t find nobody around/ Oh, the bridge is narrow/ And you’ve got so far to fall/ And you know down in dirty water’s/ No place for a paper doll

Hi, I’m heading to NY for a holiday. Need a nice but cheap (you know how stingy Singaporeans are with the buck) place to stay. Any recommendations? Email me, please. Will greatly appreciate your help!
Hi there,
I’m thinking about staying at the Résidence in Savigny-sur-Orge. I’ve only contacted them on line and I’m not in France yet. Can I trust them? Is it a good place?
Thanks a lot in advance.
