I do not want to end today with the knowledge I did not do anything useful so I decided to go for a traditional body massage. The place is nearby so I do not have to face any jam whatsoever. After calling to make an appointment, I waited with a good feeling. At last I'm going to do something useful today.
Not one minute has passed; I wonder why I want to put my body to this grueling torture. I was torn between feeling ticklish and pain. Have anyone tried laughing in pain? The masseuse laughed too. She said she's doing it as slow as she can that will still be beneficial to me and not inflict too much pain or tickles.
Normally, I have high pain endurance but not this time. I probably have neglected my body for a long time. The masseuse keeps saying she's just started massaging a spot and it's already red, a sign of too much wind. Not to mention twisted veins, swollen muscle and what not. She also jokingly say, "ini sayang suami ni" because I'm ticklish. Hehehe… maybe I should put her testimonial on my husband-looking-resume lol.
After a while, it is painful more than it tickles. Almost every spot she touches, I'll go Adoi! Adoi! Adoi! Can there be so many painful spot on my body? How come I never felt them? I do massage my own legs and feet but never felt any pain. She tells me that I should avoid iced drinks and drink warm water first thing in the morning. Warm water, I can do. Iced drinks? That is a bit more difficult.
I always promise myself to have body massage at least every month but normally, other activities would become priority. So let's see whether I can keep this promise from now on.
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.

Dear Sunflower,
I am glad you got that massage. Feeling better now eh? They say if you get all those patches of black and blue, it means you have been naughty and so you are all tensed up all over the place. So a good massage to straighten out the knots is likely to give you some pains. No pain no gain, they say. Also pain mean bread in French so maybe you are a bit, well, um, on the prosperous side, eating all those fattening blue food. Anyways I know you will live to humour us all again. So speak to you again soon. Have a nice, relaaaaxed week ahead.
i pun pandai urut. nak try? lol!
I had a Thai body massage in Phuket; it was great. A little ticklish and a little 'Arrrrgh' when she pulled my limbs and all, but otherwise it was good. Authentic.
