Will give the contour pillow a try.

Btw, about the foot reflexology, do you inform the massager there is a sleep issue?

:thankyou:

Jeen- neee- feeer, the contour pillow did not work its magic last nite

The reflexology auntie does a mean qi gong on my lower back ache too and she complains to hubs (intentionally) :evil: that i must've either done too much at home (chores) on my own.. carried the boys a lot.. owes it to breastfeeding as well.. and carried too many heavy things.. To top it off, she will scold me for not adhering to the too-much-cold-water is not good for me.


All that by just placing her magic hands on my back. Aaaaahhh. Miss u auntie!

So this auntie is no longer working in Bt Timah? and u dun know where she has gone?

There are at least 2 centres in Thomson Plaza offerring foot reflexology - Wan Yang and Refresh Group. Do these centre hard sell packages?

My P6 boy is attending Chinese tuition at Thomson Plaza every Sunday. Instead of wondering aimlessly every weekend there, I thought I should pamper myself every week with some ME time. :rahrah: (I was so stupid in the past).

Never too late. Can still go now. Good idea to go for foot reflexology session when ur ds2 having tuition. Then u don't have to keep wandering into Popular every week.

In the past, when my girls went for tuition at Parkway, Dh and I used to go to WanYang at Parkway for foot massage. Find that it helps with water retention and better blood circulation.

Think whichever place u go to, think they will try and sell u the packages but guess u don't have to sign up if u don't want too. Maybe go to both and compare price and service to see which is better. Not sure abt Refresh but with Wan Yang, there's no expiry date and both u and dh can share the package. Can also treat it as couple time for u and Dh.

As for boiling cordyceps, I was told it's best taken empty stomach, and it's unlike other Chinese herbs that the essence could be extract from the double boiling's heat into the soup, to get the optimum benefit from cordyceps is to ingest the plant/root itself.

Thank you for sharing the above.

Was it the Hock Hwa staff who told you?

Would consuming powdered form directly w/o the capsule yield the same benefits as taking the capsule form?

We have not tried other brand's cordyceps, Hock Hwa is the only one that we had been \"persuaded\" into buying, lol.... So, most knowledge I have about cordyceps are from them. :oops:

BTW, the clear gelatin capsule is filled with cordyceps powder, so tightly packed into the capsule that we often have hard time digging out the cordyceps powder for my girl's \"half capsule\" dosage.... now we just snip it half with scissors, and save the other half in a tight-lid Tupperware and store in the fridge.

Before she learnt to swallow the halved capsule, I would have to dig out the powder and mixed with a tablespoon of lukewarm water in a small cup, much like how we prepare Lactolfort; but the cordyceps powder will not dissolve into the water, but floating on it instead, no matter how I tried to stir it in; and the powder lodged all over her teeth that she needed to \"gargle\" with a glass of water. It was a nightly struggle till she finally learnt how to swallow the halved capsule. (Lol, I can write a 101 manual about learning to swallow capsule/caplet/tablet!)

When I was at Taiwan, the group guide took us to a House of Mao where we encountered hard selling of lingzhi and royal honey.

The salesperson advised us against buying capsule lingzhi, reason being the lingzhi was grated into powder and its woody form could cause harm to the digestive organs. Theirs is boiled and extracted, so no woody substances to rub against the digestive organs and more easily assimilated into the intestines. I dunno how true the above reasoning is. I guess powder cordyceps should be ok. MIL told me powder ones not so effective, she still prefers to double boil.

Very likely. Maybe w/o the contour pillow, his snoring can bring down the whole house. :rotflmao:

I give up on Popular liao. My boy is not a willing party to do extra. And when he does extra, most time is spent at complaining the qn not well set. Ends up both he and me are upset. Sian liao.

I went to get the King Koil contour pillow. Bn using it for 2 nights - think my stiff neck is gone. :rahrah:

Redeemed the tempur contour pillow for hubby.


For a week, we could sleep in the same room on the same bed.

Last night, I was awakened by his persistent singing. He got sent out.

I dun recall him eating or drinking any extraordinary stuff, except the large consumption of 枇杷 fruit which is in season now.
