Ma-saa-jee

I wanted to start off my blog with a more cheerful atmosphere as i have been visiting a few blogs and they sound in despair. Well, a brand new year should start at a new freshy mood, isnt?

Talk about something i discovered this recently. My mom has discovered a new form of activity which is '' sleep bed'' (translate it directly in Cantonese). Sure you dont get me, right? I also have the ??? on my head the first time i heard from my mom. To satisfy my curiosity, i went to see for my own eye.

It was a centre which sell a lot of medical beds, something like heat massage bed that can help people to cure their illness if u come everyday to do your treatment. Sound like a scam? Dont worry it doesnt cost a penny BUT you must queue up in order to get your number early. And i mean pretty EARLY.

For example, the centre starts to open at 7.30 am. And people is starting queuing up at 6.20am. This do not apply when there is a gift (smthing like a stone, dont know what it's name) to give out. People start to put their bags at 5.00 smthg. My mom went there at 5.30am and she get a ''10'' for her turn. Crazy, right? Mainly is grandpa s, grandma s, uncles, aunties and some kid get cheated by their parent. According to my mom, people even start quarrling when there is too much people and they cant get their 1st turn of numbers because of others cutting the queue.

Back to my experience, i went there thrice these far. It was 6.30 and i ( 10 more ppl) still waiting the center opened. Nothing much to do except sleeping in the car. When there is time, there are 30 ppl already there stand by. I was like 'o_O'''

All the crowd are in their white t-shirt ( the effect will be more obvious if u wear light-colour clothes) To begin the treatment, you need to do some ''exercise'' which is very humiliating. I followed those steps and at the same time have an urge to knock my head hard against the wall. There are so ''in'' as there even got slogans for u. ( cross my body if u want me to shout...) Humiliating, humiliating and humiliating. Thank god, nobody recognise me there.

I got no. 3 and my mom got no. 2. To me, it just a heat massage chair. But, i heard some grandpa and grandma s' health get better and better after trying this out. People also coming from far (1-2 hrs distance) also come here although there are a center there too. Salute to those determination.

Anyway, i still feel a bit fishy about this. I sure dont have the determination to wake up in sure an early morning. I still prefer to hide in my blanket to sleep rather than standing there and trembling to death, holding a number in my hand.
