Acupuncture Treatment Here ??

It's Monday, we are off for the Memorial Day. Thought we could gain a bit more of sleep this morning ... but these 2 animals ( Buddy and Teddy ) wanted us up as usual !!

Surely, this is a not a good idea to have these pets resting in the same room with us. Teddy sleeps in his bed that places in his cage and Buddy prefers a small bed that places on top of the cage. They are both very discipline and will go to their bed after we off the room light. Buddy does not comes to our bed and rests at our feet any more.


We really love these 2 animals.. they are naughty, playful but lovable most of the time.. They added some much fun to this home...... happiness and laughter.

After waking up, so, me. Ah Don and Teddy went for a 1 hour long walk this morning. By the time we started off, it's already 8 o'clock. The sun was out and hot but it's good to sweat it out as well as to have the 2 limbs exercised !!

Lately, in fact I should say it was a bout a year ago that I had tight chest most of the mornings. I insisted not to see any doctors on this. Because, I believe it was the stress and depression that I have over time and job dissatisfaction. So I decided to do Tai Chi & yoga every morning. I picked up Tai Chi Chuan since 1986, I was able to do the short series, long series ( 108 styles ). Sword and stick plus the fast fist ..... unfortunately, I have forgotten most of the movement. Now, I have to connect and mix all movements that I can remember. I create my own "STYLE" hahahahahaha .. combine with some Yoga posture; I think I can name it as Gan's TCYoga.

These form of exercise made me feel better in the day. But it does not help to release my morning congestion. During one of the visit to a Flea marketing held by a church, I came to know a Mat Salleh Doctor who was there to provide free pulse reading. I went to him to have a free reading. He read my pulse and was able to detail the various complaints that I have and concern about. So he suggested me to go for acupuncture. After making some research online, Ah Don took me to visit him one week after that. This time he took a thorough reading to decide where should the needles go !!! Honestly, I heard about acupuncture before and would not allow such treatment on me !!!! But here !!! A mat Salleh is doing that on me !!!! It's hard to believe !!!

Anyway, Dr Kurt showed me the needles and assured me that they would not cause any pain since the needles are supper fine. It went well... I could not tell how many needles were poked on me because I didn't feel anything except at one point near my wrist.

The next morning, I felt so much better. The result was great!!!

I went back 4 days after that for 2nd treatment... hmmm this time the result was not good. The Doctor said the effect could be up & down.. Then I went in again for the third treatment!The result was not good for the nest day but 2 days later. On the 4th visit, the Doctor gave me some Chinese herb powder. I feel better with this medicine. Hope this will end my chest congestion and also hope that there is no hidden sign that I should be concerning about ........ because my time is approaching........ 67 is not too far away.

Now, let's share some happy moment of these 2 animals

2 of them liked to play and fight like kids


After that they were both exhausted and needed rest

Sometimes, they like to hug each other just like this.... very sweet !!
OH... We are both too tired now


They do not have a good sleeping pose


Teddy is like a dead dog when he sleeps


Buddy sleeps like this sometimes. When he wants attention, he will do this too!
