My Gross Post (Not For The Weak Hearted)

In my previous post, I blogged about eating mangosteens...In this post I will blog about the outcome of eating too much mangosteens... hahahaa...

I think I took around 10 mangosteens or a bit more .. not sure exactly how much I took and after taking that amount and 2 pieces of agar agar, I began to feel a bit "uneasy"... Uneasy in terms of headache and a bit of giddiness.  Then I prepared a hot drink of oats to drink... and that was it...

After work, I quickly went for an early dinner... took a big bowl of noodles and a glass of fresh soursop... During the evening, my shoulders felt like very "heavy".... and when I pressed them, I burped... Chinese says "Wind" (foong)

To release the "wind" from the body, my sister is very "lar sau one" (expert)... she used the old traditional way of releasing the "extra wind" by using a ceremic spoon and "wind ointment" (minyak angin) ... On and On, she "scraped" and "scraped" on my back starting with the neck and shoulders....
She exclaimed after a few strokes on my left shoulder...
'JUST LOOK AT THIS!  TERRIBLE WIND WITHIN YOU!"
My right shoulder was bad too but not as bad as the left...
No, I did not feel any pain at all...
Instead it was a BIG relief...
My headache was gone after the "scraping" and many more BURPS!
It works!
Believe it or not.....

Moral of the story:  
Mangosteens cannot be taken a lot at one time.. 
Best taken after a bout of Durians!

    Alamak, that shows how heaty your body is. Maybe due to eating too much durian and the crazy hot weather. You should have drunk some salt water after each durian session.

      I thought it was due to too much cooling mangosteens that evening that cause my head to be heavy and giddy...

    Ouch, I would never allow that! I recalled sometime ago an Indonesian masseur tried the guasha method on me & I got so upset. I heard that mangosteen can't be taken in large amount too.....

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
