Month: January 2006

This is probably the most HAPPENING foot reflexology in town

NOTE: Zouk is one of the most happening club in Malaysia and Singapore. Read Entries from our Night Life Archives to find out more about night life in Malaysia and probably Singapore.

A day before NY, I decided to do something different. Ping, Yong Lin, Syen, Hyong, Chiew Lai and I decided to go to Old Asia, a newly opened massage parlour around my area.

The place was kinda like a big hooha for us because it was the massage parlour that is openly visible around my area. It even has signboards as big as my car. Most of the massage parlours around my area are underground.

I was quite sceptical in the beginning as massage parlours in Malaysia could mean one thing, ‘Extra service’ aka sexual services. However, I was told that Old Asia does not offer ‘extra service’.
The interior was excellent. It was ala Bali style. Service was excellent as well. Oh, they even have a nice movie room.

Syen and I shared a room. As soon as we got into the room, the massage girls left and we had to change into boxers which were provided by them.
The massage was great. So good till I fell asleep. Snored loudly too. How embarrassing.
However, my body ached from rock climbing 2 days ago. It hurts like hell on few occasions.

I was shocked when the massage girl pulled my boxers to reveal my ass. I was like ‘WOI, I thought you don’t provide ‘extra service’!!!!!!’.
But soon I realised it was a part of the massage. My ass was included in the back massage.
The massage lasted about 80 minutes. I felt like it was just a short while. I guess it was probably because I dozed off couple of times.

It all came up to RM70. Well worth it I would say 😀

[Edit 2/10/2012: Old Asia is no longer in operation]

After two weeks off from work, starting the new working year on 3 Jan 2006 was such a drag – literally. How my body would slowly roll to the side, drag my legs to hang at the side of the bed and then my arms, with an indescribable strength, will throw off the blanket in one quick move, allowing the cold morning air freeze my body and mind to finally wake up and get ready for work. Work!!

And I had just return from a holiday in Hawaii so finally starting work once again was really tougher than how it sounds in the paragraph above.

Talking about my mornings, everyday at 7.10am my alarm clock will start ringing. A press of a button to turn it off and 20 more minutes of utterly appreciated semi-conscious shut-eye. A ‘treat’ of sorts, as my alarm clock is timed 20 minutes faster; likewise, my handphone’s time is 10 minutes faster, wallclock is 25 minutes ahead and my watch and laptop is faster by 5 minutes.

Naturally, my mind tells me to look at different clocks whenever there is a nagging feeling that screams it really IS time to wake up, ok!. A simple subtraction would place all my time to point to exactly the same and correct time of the morning but in the reluctant and sleep-induced state, whichever clock that shows (or fools me to think) that I still have time, is an indulgence that is much too eloquent to be put into words.

Talking to some friends the other day on this personal modification of our time-tellers, this seems to be increasingly common for a variety of reasons.

One friend has put 6 minutes faster in all her clocks, as it gives her the commonly-felt comfort among us guilty time-manipulators that there is still time, we are still early or i surprise me with my time-management! I often forget that many minutes have been added and the sudden revelation that there’s still time to spare, is worth the rushing around to finish things up just a few minutes earlier.

How is it that we know that we had added minutes to our time-tellers but still ‘forget’ and work/live just a bit faster as if we were late?

Another friend’s watch is exactly an hour and 10 minutes faster, the fastest I know of yet. During long, dull meetings, he will roll up his sleeves and casually flash his watch around – the track record of people adjourning the meeting earlier is amazing. Never mind if they have watches of their own, perhaps it is a subconscious buzz in the brain that says, what!? it’s 8pm already!? oh hang on, his watch is fast by an hour! but oh well, it’s time this meeting end anyway. adjourn! And I honestly would try anything, if it means there is a shot at getting any meeting to end faster.

And of course, there are some who work the other way – this friend’s time is 15 minutes later just so it will panic him enough to hurry up. Everyday is a rush, with the typical i’m late!‘s. I’m not sure I want to live my life knowing that I am late, and this one really means late, not in the tricking-myself-to-think-I-am-late way.

Another matter altogether when one day, a well-meaning parent changed all the time-tellers to the correct time and the following morning’s chaos of confusion and sinking realisation that came soon after… but that’s another story for another day. 🙂

So for the new year, here’s to all of us time-manipulators (you know who you are!) and all others, to more time to spare! *clink

A New Year, a new beginning. Albeit all the hope that i can have a nice and easy start of the year, i have a very busy and stressful start. So busy that i cannot be arsed to make any new posts. I cannot think of anything interesting and funny to write about. Not even a short 50 words post. I thought of posting some photo sexy hot babes but alas, i have no time to serve porn, i mean the internet. Anyway, i have make a To Do List mentally for what i should do this year.
To Do List
1. Work like a Dog and don’t slack off
2. Better organised in Work
3. Save more money
4. Get a new digital camera (anyone can recommend me a good 4.0 megapixel digi cam for about RM800 or less?)
