The King with his 25 wives
Was at Shangri-La's Valley Wing last week to pick up a friend for dinner.
The main hotel was crowded with some numbered cars parked outside the hotel. When I reached Valley Wing, there were even more men in dark suits. It is not uncommon to see such a sight, but somehow it was different that day.
After picking up my friend, I realised what happened.
The King of Swaziland has arrived. In Singapore. With his 25 wives and children. Yes, an entourage of almost a 100 people. That explains those cars with numberings.
I cannot imagine why would any woman marry a man who already have so many wives. Where is the attention paid to her (if any)? Well then again the culture is different from where I come from, so to use my eyes to understand them is definitely unfair.
But then again... 25?
Argh.

luxe, I read one of the book about polygami but this one is written by a woman (who obviously share her husband). She said she much rather have 0.1 of orlando bloom than 1 of a nobody LOLs.
I'd rather have 101% of a nobody. Most importantly he loves me, and only me.
