Finally A Good Night Sleep After Great Massage

I was having body ache for the past few months and it became worse last month. I had to put some oilments on my whole back and hips before I can get some sleep at night. My body was full of 'wind' due to my working style. I face computer at least 9 hours a day in the office and sit at least 8 hours a day. Naturally, my muscles are all stress out and every inch of my body was aching to the max. I was reluctant to go for a traditional massage due to the economic situation at the moment. Money is hard to come by and with the inflation, what I earn now is not sufficient enough. I barely make it thought the month end so the 'wants' factor has to be postponed until economic gets better. Since January, I only spent on my 'needs'.

Yesterday, after receiving my salary, I decided to go for a traditional massage to clear the 'wind'. It costed $60 for an hour massage. Yup, it's expensive. That's the reason I don't go for my massage every month. People like me who face computer and sit at least 8 hours a day will absorb a lot of wind and electro-magnetic into our body. Ever had a static charge when you touch a door nob or your collegue? That's the result. It accumulates in your body and you ended up aching all over and having bad sleep nights. So, I went to the shop after work and the owner called the masseur. It was a small shop selling traditional beauty product and offer traditional treatments such as facial and massage. The massage service was sub-contract to a masseur. When the masseur arrived, we started my session. I later fround out her name was Ida.

I'm the type that can't exit wind on my own. So the masseur must be able to exit wind or else we'll both in pain later. I had so much wind in my body that each touch by Ida, she will burp. She burped all the way until we finihed our session. It felt like a frog singing for an hour. Her massage technique was different from the last masseur. She only massage the muscle points in my whole body. It wasn't that painful either. During the treatment, she told me she provide the service from her home at a cheaper price. $50 for 2 hours! Beat that. What else, I got her numbers and asked her where she lives. I was happy to hear that she lives near my office. Good, I can go for a monthly massage from next month onwards.

Last night, I slept like a dead pig. I think I dosed off by 9pm. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were puffy for the first time since a long time. I felt lighter and fresher too
