Valentine's Day a.k.a Whacking Day

My sis was asking me what am I getting for my hubby for Valentine..I was like "Huh, are you kidding me?". We have not celebrated Valentine since we got married...So, what's with presents and flowers!! So commercialised. As long as we get to spend time with each other, lovingly (although, at times, feel like kicking butts), we are happy...Everyday is Valentine. Anyway, I told my sis, we are like old couple..need no gifts or flowers to say we love each other..Those stuffs are for the young and in love...hahhaha..talk as if we have spent 50 years together..

This year, hubby suggested we go for a good massage to help release some tensions as we were very tired tackling both our kids to keep them happy..Thought that was a good idea especially since I got aching shoulders for almost a week. What good luck for us as my "ever-so-kind sis" volunteered to babysit the kids for 2.5 hours!! Yipee....Well, at least just for 2.5 hours, we get some peace and quiet and to relax...Seriously all parents need that once in a blue moon, to keep us sane...hehehehe..

So, off we went, happily....We started off with foot reflexology...I'm not used to "this kind of luxury" (never has been a 'siew nai-nai' - meaning rich man's wife who can always afford to be pampered). I kept telling the China lady, this hurts, that hurts until she commented..."Some people are so sensitive..I don't need to do proper massage, just touch lightly will do"..Yeah...she's hinting to me..I'm "those sensitive people"...Well, what can I do!! It was damn painful at certain points. I was laughing it off, pretending as if it was ok, trying to look less stress or in agony..but my face just gave way...Rumpled and crinkled like a the ROTA potato chips...That is not all..After foot, comes the body massage..The China Lady told me to lie flat and she will work on my back and shoulder..Ahh..at last...this should be good..and so I thought.

Now, here comes the best part. Whack!! Whack! Whack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Whooa....In my mind, is she trying to kill me or what!! Maybe she is some psycho, on the loose. Damn painful. How can anyone ever enjoy this?? I really wonder..Ooh...now my whole back hurts so much, besides the sole of my feet..Crazy!! If this is what they call massage, please spare me... People go for massage to rejuvenate and relax. I go for massage to get myself beat up and stressed.     I asked hubby, "So, you feel pain or anything?" Hubby just shake his head..."Nope..a bit here and there but it's alright." Man, what kind of body does he have? Oops...hehehhe..only I will know.

After 2 hours, we are done for the session. What a night! Never was I so relieved to go back to my kids....

Hubby winked at me, "So we are doing this again on your birthday next month, won't we?" I just stood and gawked at him.
