Hey guys! The Daily Mail have just published an article about me and the other mermaids in Merlesque, focusing on the fact that I have had health problems with a brain tumour, and mermaiding has been something that's really helped my recovery! I think it shows mermaiding in a nice positive light, so maybe you'd be interested to read it:

PS : From reading the comments, it seems like people from London are way nicer than people from Singapour... Just sayin' :doh:

Haha. it's crazy! Although the Daily Star has got the wrong end of the stick, it was actually a non-cancerous tumour (thankfully!), but because it's a tumour of the pituitary gland, it emits hormones so it can still mess you up pretty badly - and obviously it's inside your head so it can put pressure on the optic nerves and lead to blindness, cause headaches etc.
