Being a mermaid sounds cool, its nice to pose in time for pretty magical pictures and whats better than doing it at a beautiful private beach right outside my hotel door? I was actually pretty exhausted from sight seeing trip with island touring under the blazing sun, but knowing that I will be leaving this island tomorrow, its either now or never. 

Preparing to be a mermaid aint easy either, I have been attending so many food tasting, that I have tummy like I'm pregnant lol~ SO 2 months before this trip, I started to cut down on non healthy food. I also try to eat my dinner earlier and cutting down on food that is harder to digest. I reduce my intake for the normal amount of rice for dinner to half. I also tried to do some crunches but my back is killing me lol~

I also thought long about whether I really want to go ahead with this shoot, its like I have to carry that fin thingy~ Most probably I will also hardly use it, but thankfully its affordable at $50 compared to hundreds that I saw selling in SG.

A pity the sand aint all white but nah, I didnt want to photoshop till the place looks nowhere close to its original state.

The fin is pretty hard to move about when its wet and heavy~

Pretending to see afar pose~

Knowing there are people staring and taking your pictures non stop >__< One lady even came near me for pic!

There is a lot of hard work behind all these poses, allow me to leak to how it actually happened lol~ Also allow me to share a little story about this black dog and his 'gf/bff' first. Since day 1, he have been following me around, so I feed him often. He even guard my room at night right outside my door while we sleep. So I play with him at times when I'm around. 

As you can see in the picture above, there is a flight of stairs to the shoreline, I was already in my fin, and had to hop all my way over. Also further up was another flight of stairs, Ryan, Jiawei had to carry my arms while I hop down each steps while Ayumi holding on the my fin lol~ What a sight lol! 

I finally made it to the shoreline but there are broken pieces of corals around, I had to find a good spot or I will be siting on them (ouch)~ After I was finally seated on the sand, I realize that all the staff came out and start taking pictures of me! It feel so awkward to try and pose beautifully/calmly. Huge thanks to Ayumi for helping me throughout this shoot, I feel like a handicap!

The waves are crashing against me sometimes whenever boat passes by, and I had to try balance myself~

Finally decided to move into the water and thought I can hide without my fin~ Then i see the camera AIYO my legs can be seen @___@
