The Controversial Good Boy Gone Bad

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this but there are booths that offer foot massage in shopping complexes, I always needed a massage so this time I decided to give it a try! I’ve been snapping pictures and as you’re reading and viewing the pictures, please don’t ask me things like, “Are these feet belong to an ape?“.

I stopped by at this booth called “Thai Village“, usually when you walk pass the booths, those masseurs and masseuses will approach you and speak Thai which you won’t probably understand (including myself) if you’re a Malaysian.

I looked at the price, it’s RM38 for 60 minutes, I thought it’s quite reasonable so I gave it a shot. Then I was attended by a masseuse, I don’t know what the hell was she saying and I just realized that I actually know sign language! Fantastic! Before everything, the lady started cleaning the ape’s feet.

Then she applied some massage oil/cream on my feet and it feels cold and oily… Did I just tell you not to focus on my hairy legs?!

After that she mummified it, it’s really weird because instead of start massaging my right foot after applying cream on it, she started it with my left foot.

When she started massaging, I thought I’m going to start screaming because normally you do see people moaning when they are being massaged but I don’t know if she doesn’t have the skill or she’s too skillful, I don’t feel ticklish or pain at all!

Then she brought her ultimate little massage tool, I call it “THE STICK“. Out of curiosity I asked the masseuse what’s the use of The Stick, and silly me, I totally forgot that I can’t even understand what they’re saying. They tried their best to converse in Malay and English but I really can’t get it. What to do? It’s a communication breakdown so I gotta keep quiet and let her used it.

The reason why she used The Stick is to enhance my blood circulation by poking it against my foot, when she did it I felt a little bit ticklish and it’s like she’s channeling her energy into my foot (Oh fuck this exaggeration). ;P She repeated the same process on my right foot. And lastly…

She did the MEGA FOLD! Wooo yeah! And let me tell you, you can really feel the difference of the before and after massage. I guess the masseuse was happy because I’ve been snapping pictures around, she massaged my arms and my neck as a bonus. Woohoo!

So how good is Foot Reflexology? This is extracted from Wikipedia,

Foot massage practitioners believe that the ailment of an internal organ will be associated with the nerve ending on the sole of the foot. As pressure is applied to the sole, theory holds that a healthy patient should not feel any strong pain. This theory is based on a perceived energetic flow of “meridians” in the body, also known as Chi.

I don’t know so much about Chi and its energy, all I know is that after having this massage, I felt so much relieved, in fact I’ve never been to any massage centers before, at least it worths my money. And should I feel really happy because I don’t feel strong pain at all? I think y’all should really give it a try.
