Michelle, bikini belle

Greetings and salutations, fellow stargazers! This is May Seah, your Showbiz Sista, whom you are going to thank for brining you photographs of Michelle Chia in a very flattering bikini.

 

 

At a shoot at Republic Polytechnic for Polo Boys, Channel 5’s upcoming water-polo themed drama, Michelle swim-suited up for her role as the coach. “I was very nervous,” Michelle told Showbiz Sista. “I am very used to being in bikinis—I only have bikinis anyway, no one-piece swimsuits—but that’s at the beach… Today, my character, Professor Diane Lee, is in a bikini to show the guy who got a promotion instead of her that as a woman, she can do it as well.” Whatever that thing she does is, she certainly holds her own against this horde of swimsuit boys.

 

 

 

And how did it feel to be surrounded by half-naked hunks? “I’ve seen them in the little trunks a billion times already! The only thing is, they put this shoot on the last day of filming, so everyone’s like, ‘Ooh Michelle, when’s your turn? How come our coach is never in the water? So unfair!’ I was a little stressed. All the guys are so fit and so athletic.”

 

“Did any of them catch your eye?” Showbiz Sista asked. “All of them. They have great bodies,” the wakeboarding, diving sporty-girl replied. “Including our own Adrian Pang and Nat Ho!” So, is her fiancé Shaun Chen jealous? “No lah," Michelle laughed. "He's better mah!" Rest easy, Shaun, rest easy!

 

 

As you can see, the lovely Michelle is in great shape—and it’s just as well, because she’s getting married on Monday. Is her Polo Boys tan going to work for or against her when she puts on her wedding dress? “It’ll be something different!” Who’s more nervous—Michelle or Shaun? “I am, but at the same time I know I have very reliable helpers: My good friends. Without them, I don’t think I can have a wedding, what with my and Shaun’s filming schedule.” 

 

 

What is she most looking forward to about marriage? “Kids!” Michelle stated without hesitation. She wants two. But for now, she has enough on her plate to worry about—like honeymooning to France, Italy, Spain, and Greece in the midst of a rampant swine flu threat. “ Everything is booked and we can’t cancel or change, so we’ll just go and take all kinds of precautions! I heard from a Chinese sinseh that you should drink barley water and honey. And wear a mask and keep your hands clean. Barley with honey is my favourite drink anyway. So we’re going to bring along a bottle of manuka honey.”

 

If you’re travelling, take a tip from Michelle and bring your own bottle. Showbiz Sista, signing out. Live long and pop corn!

 

P.S. Showbiz Sista congratulates Michelle and Shaun in advance on their union, and may it be a blissful one!

 

Catch Polo Boys in July on MediaCorp TV Channel 5.
