How Body Conscious Are You?

I was chatting with one of the bloggers on MSN the other night and I told her that I was knitting. She asked me to knit her a bikini, and I said it’s ok, if I had the diagram to refer. But then, she told me she’s only joking as she wouldn’t dare to wear it.

Whenever I’m on vacation at some beach resorts, I couldn’t help notice that the westerners are only walking around in bikinis but still look comfortable at themselves. They don’t hide their bodies with sarongs like what we Asia will normally do. On top of that, most of us will go for 2-piece swimsuits but not bikini too.

Once, when I was having a holiday at Damai Laut, one of the ang moh girls were in bikinis, but her pants was a G-string! All the local men’s eyes were on her butt, but she was so at ease by their stares, and wouldn’t be bothered about it. I really admired her confidence, and of course, she had nice body too.

Most Asian are very conscious about our bodies. Before we put on the bikini, we are already asking ourselves is my tummy too big? My butt is too fat? Can they see my cellulite? Or my breasts not big enough? And a thousands of other questions.

Gee….how I wish I can the ang mohs’ confidence in bikinis. If not, I only put one on when I have a private pool in Orlando vacation home. No one can see me except my close family. Then, what’s the purpose of wearing a bikini when I can’t even show off myself? :P
