Wah, since my last 2 post. My sister tells me she kena pull hair from my mother the other day - in proper English for my English friends, that means my sister had experienced a 'hair pulling session'. I am so jealous as I've been thinking about it and had wanted it too!!!

So, to continue with the story....Apart from the bitter, black foul smelling chinese medicine, my mother also used to scraped our (apart from my elder sister, of course as she is very fierce and i think my mother sometimes left her alone as my mother was afraid or my sister's acidic tongue, wrath and temper :)... I kid you not... my elder sister is FIERCE! ) back with spoon, fork, coin and whatever she can get her hands on with a flat back. It wasn't child abuse... it was only done when we had high fever, to release the 'heat' from the body, bringing the temperature down. Bloody hell, that one is a killer!!!! Ii still have it done occasionally when i have aches and pains. i can guarantee that it works although the Man hates it with a passion as it leaves awful marks after it is done. That is the chinese for you... our mantra is no pain, no gain.....The ying and yang needs to be balanced, the 'khi' must be balanced.....
