Free Massage For 2 Days

Woohoo…. I am feeling refreshed all over coz I’ve just got free massage for 2 days straight – last night and just a while ago. And here’s my personal masseuse, doing home massage for me :

Alycia doing the finger-tips massage technique on my beat-up leg.

Just as I was about to put Baby C to sleep last night, she poo pooed. After breaking my back washing her bum, I told Alycia who was in my room how painful my back was. Without any hesitation, Alycia quickly voluntereed to massage my back! I was still busy putting the diaper on baby and told her that she could massage me later. But this very eager filial daughter of mine insisted that I lie down on the bed so that she could give me a good massage.   Seeing how earnest she was, how could I turn down such a good offer eh? I then put baby back in the playpen and let her massage me.

First, she massaged my legs, then my hands, head and body. It was a full-body massage! Alycia even asked for my Rosken dry skin relief cream and applied them on my body, hands and legs as she massaged them… something which I did not even tell her to do! I tell you, this 5-year old girl is a fantastic masseuse!  She even has a few techniques from squeezing to ‘chopping’ to shiatsu, to using her knuckles, to using the finger tips massage technique…. hahaha!!  She must have picked up the techniques from the urut lady who came to massage me recently… albeit the urut lady didn’t use such many techniques.   And throughout the massage, my sweet Alycia also gave me hugs and kisses, isn’t she sweet?


The ‘knuckles massage method’, which I taught her…


The shiatsu method lol!  See how serious she was in her job hahaha!

Sherilyn also insisted on massaging me but this cheeky and playful fler gave me more stress than anything! I asked her to massage my buttocks, which she did but she kept laughing and said my buttocks were ‘dancing’ when she kept using her fingers to poke them, gawd!  When I asked her to massage my head and temples, she slathered loads of cream on my face and hair and pulled out a handful of my hair. Gosh, I tell you, I was steeeeressssssed and in pain!  She even used her elbow to put weight on my ribs, haiyoh…..  When I told her to stop massaging me, she cried pulak…. aiyoh!

Nonetheless, it was really fun to have my 2 precious angels massaging me on my bed, with Baby C giggling away when she saw us laughing and having fun throughout the 15-minute massage last night and today.

Down With The Sniffles Again

I’m having the sniffles again, darn it. This is the forth time in 2 months that I’m down with a cold. What’s happening to my immune system? I have never ever been this susceptible to catching the cold and flu all my life. What boggles me is that I’ve been eating very healthily and have been religiously popping on my health supplements every single day. Could this be due to stress, anxiety and lack of sleep or could this be due to the fact that I’m breastfeeding and all my nutrients have gone to my baby, hence my compromised immune system? It’s pretty frustrating to be ill all the time. I used to be the healthiest and sturdiest in the family before Baby C came along but ever since her birth, I have been the weakest and the first one to catch the flu bug if anyone in the house is down with a cold or flu.

I wish the hubs would take turns to help me with Baby C at night so that I can get uninterrupted sleep, for at least a few nights in a week. He used to help me with Alycia and Sherilyn when I was still working and needed to get up early for work. Ever since I left the corporate world, the responsibility of caring for the 3 kids at nights is pushed back to me completely ‘by default’. I should tell him to take over Baby C from tonight onwards, at least for 2 nights so that I have sufficient sleep and can recover speedily. I also wish I could hop onto a Car Service NY ride and have a nice holiday. Nothing beats the stress better than a nice break.
