Good Morning bloggers. I just took my shower this morning.
ReplyDeleteI am very shocked to hear that the French don't like to shower. Oh my goodness. No wonder they produce the best house of perfumes.
I normally take shower twice a day on weekdays but up to four times on weekends.
During the brutal winters in US, I still took my daily hot showers twice daily when the temperature outside was -15 degrees C!! I admit that I was not dirty and did not sweat a drop but psychology I did not feel 'clean' as it has been my upbringing since young to take daily showers. Maybe I love taking shower is the real truths.
DeleteHow could Thambee not shower during winters?? Eeeewwww!!!
I always like to shower in the gym after their exercises. Their showers tend to be extra specials with full blasts of hot rain showers! We don't get that kind of water pressure at home. Maybe the gym's management installed special water pumps for added pressure.
DeleteGood morning ANay.
DeleteYou always wear so neatly. well dressed. sure will never miss shower in the morning la. If the season where no water in Klang valley, am sure anay will still manage to take a shower before go to office.
Hahaha...funny la about their perfume. Hey...is the perfume name POISON mande by them? That was one heck of a strong perfume scent. Really can pengsan if stuck in a crowded mini bus . I kena before.
Anay...you have been to China many times right? I read in a book that people in China have a longer life span coz they no matter how cold it is , they will still mandi first thing in the morning. DUno true or not la coz that book i read was a fiction book.
I think betul la it is psychology...if tara shower...then will feel not clean. School holiday I went to Cameron. Darn cold leh...but still feel like sweaty....sticlky...especially the hair. . Die die must take shower. Alamak...their hot water ah...adui....like cold water only leh....
I look neat? Oooooh! This Small Kucing mulut manis also fall under the SK taglines! LOL Yeah my wifey says I am crazy, always mandi 2-3 times daily and often before sleep so that I will be clean inside my dreams. I even comb my hair before sleep!
DeleteYeah in China, the folks even swim in the rivers during winter for some cold shock treatment that could be beneficial to our body's cells. I remember watching the TV documentary that the Chairman Mao always participated their annual rituals of jumping into the Yangtze River during winter. There would be hundreds of them swimming for a few minutes while a thousand would clap and cheer for them. When I saw the hot spring onsens in Japan, they have the extremely cold water pool for the bathers to soak inside after getting into the hot waters. I saw the folks rotating around the hot and cold pools which made me think hard on its benefits. I could only guess that sometimes we might be able to trick our body and its cells with extreme shocks by using hot & cold water alternately. Just my 2 cents and wild guesses. I will ask my Japanese friend when I meet him in November.
copied you guys la...so mulut also manis like dicelup gula lor.
Deleteyes...must remember to ask your japanese friend about this. Seems that those who bath in cold water have a better health. Duno how it goes la.But me biasa with the hot water...beh tahan if to bath cold water. Freezing leh
Like TM, I also enjoy showering in the gym if there are not too many people. I especially don't like it at night as I needed to queue naked, with just a towel to cover my precious, to wait for my turn to use the shower room. Some even queue naked....!!
DeleteHowever, if there are not many people especially during the non peak hours, it's really nice to use their facilities. They have hair dryer, cotton buds, gel or crem for your hair, extra towel if needed, their house perfume and not forgetting the sauna and steambath. It's really very relaxing but then, we pay for it la...
And, there are hair and body shampoo for unlimited use...muahahaha..
Chris like that it makes think of a drama, that girl she was trying to save money so she always shower at the gym and use the shampoo and body shower there, she said that really can save a lot duh!
DeleteHuh? How much can she save like that....Hahaha.... Korean serial drama or hokkien drama? Hahaha
DeleteAiyoyo! What kind of gym this Chris go at night that need to queue up at night and parade in birthday suits? It doesn't sound right to me but I actually have heard the changing trends of bathers in the republic nowadays where they flaunt their assets to display their art pieces. So why Kurage Anay need to cover his private piece? The kurage too scary and enormous kah? Muahahaha
DeleteHere the gyms seldom have people queue up la and the macho guys all shyly wrapped up in towels like Ninjas. I only know at the MV Celebs gym has braver display artists parading around in birthday suits.
I shower daily too, it is impossible not to in such a hot country like Malaysia. But usually I only shower once a day, in the evening after work. I don't have a habit of going for shower in the morning unless I have been sleeping in a pool of sweat the night before. Shower in the morning makes me feel cold and sometimes uncomfortable to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the French disliking shower/bath. I always thought it was the Chinese. I mean, China Chinese. I heard stories from my brother when he was studying in Japan, the China students will take a shower on an average of once a month. They would stink everyone out in the lecture hall before they even realize it themselves. Apparently this is due to their habit bred out of necessity back home in the rural places of China, where water is scarce and you simply cannot have a nice shower everyday, so their tolerance towards their body odour is on a different level compared to us.
I am now getting another shock that besides the French, the mainland Chinese also disliked to shower. How could that be?? So unhygienic and smelly dei. Puuiiii!
DeleteI think it is quite possible since I heard that many houses in China do not have bathrooms or toilets. They have to go to the public bath houses or toilets to do their business. Many houses also do not have electricity supply and they all usually have to "tumpang" the first house to share their supply! That is how they live and we should be contented & happy here.
but not all mainlanders dislike shower kot? Saw some books says they will bath daily early morning in freezing water....to wake up their mind kot...there tarak starbucks LOL
DeleteYeah la...I guess some of them live in very cold places and they bring the culture here. Well, habit are still habits and hard to change. I guess some of us also still following the habits of our forefathers , like not showering in the morning but just wash our face and brush teeth.
DeleteI also don't agreed confinement ladies not showering during the period. It's just something brought down from our ancestors in the mainland where the climate could be too cold for their fragile health, after birth. But over here, they already suffering eating the same kind of food in their diet and being not shower for one month is a real torture! Some of these believes doesn't make sense at all!
You better not argue with the confinement ladies who might know the secrets and taboos which was actually being practiced in the Imperial Palaces in ancient China. I also thought it must be the cold weather but I realised how much a mother would suffer the severe loss of their blood, nutrients and chi energy after giving birth. They can choose not to nurse themselves back to robust health but they definitely will suffer in later years if they happen to give birth to more babies the next coming years. It is a big sacrifice and they need the right amount of supplements to regain back the vigor and strengths to live healthily till old age. I am quite well versed with this matter as I have spent great deal of time listening to folks from Europe and Asia on their different way of confinement beliefs. I am not here to judge but I tend to believe that the Chinese way is very beneficial and logic.
DeleteI think when your next child comes, you should be the 'confinement lady' instead. Muahahaha
Daily showers are good. Showers do cool the body down - more so in our hot weather and the kind of food we eat... stir-fries and stuff. Good morning!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, my parents always told me and my siblings that Indians and Malays seldom got heatiness or sore throat although they ate a lot of spicy food. They said the secret is they shower daily in the early morning to ward of the body heat. Haha.... Not sure how true is it but that's a way for them to encourage us to shower more.
DeleteEh, shower wor, I think we Asians (or Malaysians) take shower quite often ahh, coz of the humid weather here.. Weekdays, or working days, 2 times lor.. Morning and after work lor.. Weekends, maybe 3 or 4 times wor, depends..
ReplyDeleteI shower the boys early morning from young.. When they wakeup around 7.30am on weekends, terus go shower jor.. And when they come back from nursery/school, terus they know how to take off clothes and go shower before dinner time.. But of course, in the morning before school, no shower, coz too early and cold.. They wakeup at 6.20am by the way, then terus change clothes, go school jor..
DeleteI heard Japanese, during winter time, they no shower also.. Perfume also no put.. For weeks they no shower.. Dunno smelly or not la.. But if me ahh, 1 day no shower also cannot leh.. Like biasa jor, must shower nomatter how cold.. And lagipun, here got water heater ma.. So got hot water to shower lor.. Worst case, can boil water using kettle, then pour into the tub and shower..
DeleteDuring confinement, I broke all the rules liao.. I shower more than 3 times a day, and wash hair once a day as usual.. Coz I get so hot and sticky during confinement, with all the ginger sesame oil wine food.. This one depends on individual ger la, very hard to say..
DeleteI think the Japanese shower daily during winter. All their onsens full house nightly! Around midnight most drunkards would parade in like naked red lobsters! They would puke or faint anywhere. adoi.
DeleteHmm if like that, then maybe I cant renember, and not Japanese.. Hubs told me before, got la people who don't shower for month during winter, underwear also no wash, but forgotten who leh.. Well nevermind, not important, as long as the person not sitting next to me, wah I behtahan if that person got 'chau woo' or stinky feet smell ahh..
DeleteTalking about stinking feet, my friend boarded a plan from KL to HK last week, somebody next to him open shoes and socks leh, and "kiu hei" the legs, yucky.. My friend said got stinking feet smell leh, gawd.. And, as if not enuff, the skin peeling leh, like got eczema like that.. He whatsapp-ed us and showed us the picture..
DeleteI was thinking, if my friend is a mat salleh, I think already complaint to stewardess asked to change place or something like that.. Or terus sound the fella.. But we Asians, tend to paiseh a bit, and dare not sound out, so no choice, gotta bear with the stinking feet smell the whole journey..
I am thinking hard whether those folks you mentioned are from parts of China. Their country is so huge with the world's highest population. I am pretty sure not all the 1.3 billion people there wanna shower daily or perhaps many homes do not have bathrooms and they have to pay money to shower in public bath houses. Could there be reasons when some families are too poor to even shower so often when the little savings could be used to serve food on their dining tables.
DeleteEspecially that the weather in Singapore is so hot, cannot don't take shower lor, if i don't shower, i will feel uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteYou probably shower 5 times daily as you dance zumba so much and sweat buckets!! Muahahaha
DeleteShe visited getai also where there are lots of people. With all the people smell around, must lagi shower more...muahahahaha
DeleteWhooa! How did you know what she did at the getai places?? She just went there to watch, clap and snap photos only. I think the hot weather and zumba dancing makes her sweat buckets. The republic is located right on the equator line so there is not escape from intense daily heat.
DeleteEveryday, twice a day here.
ReplyDeleteWhen go on vacation also same. Cannot sleep if no mandi. Hihihi
Mak Glam sure need to stay fresh, clean and fragrant as the paparazzi are always stalking you now.
DeleteMak Glam ran a lot, must shower to keep clean and feels good. Then can let paparazzi take photos of her races' medals on her.
DeleteAnyway, for those who doesn't shower, at least must use deodorant lah!
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, fuiyoh! Cannot tahan their smell. o.O
I dare not use deodorant creams as I don't know which brand is safe or toxic. So I better mandi many times and stay sweet smelling all day. Wakakakaka
Deletethose that sys not EDTA and tarak words that end with "ben" like paraben la is non toxin...but very very hard to find lor.
DeleteI think they also tarak perasan that their body smells coz nose immune already. Must give them hint by buying the deodorant or perfume. But but for guys only la...nanti if gives to girls, might merajuk besar lo
I use deodorant too, but it is not for the smell, I will use perfume if I want good smell. I use deodorant with whitening effect. You know la! We ladies need to wear sleeveless, not nice if our armpits are dark. So must use deodorant for whitening purpose. Now you guys said it is toxic, then I better drop using deodorant. I think it is better to go for other option such as using sea salt scrub to scrub the armpits during showering. It helps removing dead skin and whitening the armpits at the same time.
DeleteSometimes I wonder those deodorants are safe to apply on the body or not. It's selling so cheap compared to perfumes and usually it is to spray or roll on the body. I wonder would it cause cancer in the long run.
DeleteBut without it, unless you put on perfume,the armpit smell sure come out like during the durian season. People can smell it nearby especially if you sweat. For guys it's even worst since we don't shave our armpit hair. Maybe spray onto the shirt la.
Most deodorants are not safe to use as the toxic creams directly contribute to lympathic cancer as it is nearest to our arm pits. It would not happen overnight but it will happen, depending on your karma too.
DeleteIf your arm pit is dark, then don't show it la!!! You are already fairer and still want a white arm pit like baboons? Muahahaha
Now you make me wonder about the Africans. I must ask my Nigerian friends about their armpits and tell Yannie. LOL
I love my vacation to Japan. Soak into that tiny Japanese bath tub in our hotel room and relax.... Heaven.
ReplyDeleteSure nice that their houses have tubs to enjoy. ^^
Yeah Mak Glam enjoyed so much and went for marathon onsens pula.
DeleteAnay jeles wor.
anay also can go leh...so when is anay's next trip to japan? Got tempted by Lina's posts or not hehehehe.
DeleteThen can go to their SPA and meet some Hong Kong Super star there. Mintak autograph okay...LOL
Muahahahahaha!!!! I really forgot about the HKG star inside the spa! Okei I will bring camera to selfie and mintak autograph for Small Kucing. I wonder who could be the next. So far I met Bosco in Xian and Ekin Cheng eating ramen in Fukuoka.
DeleteYeah! I also very jeles, Anay had been to same pool with Bosco. If I were you, Anay, I would not want to shower for the rest of the day. Kongsi mandi with Bosco Wong is happened once in a life time la!
Deletesend to Yannie coz it's her idol leh.
DeleteI wonder who you will meet this round when you go to Japan. Each time you go travelling you sure bump into some body famous or somebody weird....like the lady that pangsai on the road LOL
Eh.....Yannie , cannot be in the same pool as guys la... I guess you have to keep dreaming and envy Anay. He massage Bosco and rub his back in ther hot spring ...muahahahaha
DeleteKucing ... aiyo...so gross leh...
OMG! You so damn geli lah Kurage. I would not dare to touch that celebrity in the tub. Nanti my face spread on the Apple Magazine covers pula. He had several bodyguards with him there. Now I recall back, he could be in town for some movie shoots and must be tired during the winter after long day work. I just read saw some recent news on the big number of stars being hired to make movies in the mainland where they get paid many folds higher and get the VVIP star treatments. I am glad for them actually as I never knew they were getting chicken feeds in the former colony island. Even the actresses have to sell and hawk their food to survive. So sad lah.
DeleteI shower minimum once a day. Can be more when it's hot. When I was in Japan during winter, I did not shower. Just take hot cloth and wipe wipe. LoL. Too cold!
ReplyDeleteYou can go to the hot springs and enjoy the onsens.... :)
DeleteOh yes, why wipe wipe with cloths during winters in Japan. Their hot springs are very good for health and it penetrates our skin besides healing our aching bones.
DeleteThe French must be very smelly then hah..hah... Just kidding. I must shower everyday. On work days, it is twice, once in the morning and once before I go to be. On weekends if I am at home all day, it will be 3 times. Especially with the hot weather, there is no way I can skip showering. In fact after a shower, I will sweat again!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in US during the winter, I still shower twice a day. I suppose that's because I am so used to showering that I feel uncomfortable to skip.
DeleteI heard that some people who live in cold countries shower once a week or was it once a month? hah..hah...that really freaked me out. It is true what you said that even if it is cold, we do sweat a little bit.
DeleteNow I remember that the folks in Northern Russia, Siberia and Mongolia hardly shower as they always traveled like nomads without bathrooms. They had to wait for the winter to be over! That could be 4 months tarak mandi dei. Eeewwww
DeleteHey PH, which part of US did you live?
My mom told me when I was still young, she said, "Girl, you don't ever love those ang moh, ang moh looks clean only, they actually very smelly and dirty." I asked her, "Why mummy?" She said, "Ang Moh don't like to pom pom one."
DeleteNow, I believe in her.
hahaha....not pom pom coz too cold. If asian go there during winter i think many will not pom pom too la. Just see when you are in the airport...if smell people loaded with perfume scent then agak agak know already means belum pom pom or is returning from cold weather country jor.
DeleteWakakakaka... what is this pom pom thing? Only mothers tell their daughters kah? I guess it means mandi in baby talk. My mother must have uttered in Thais to me ~ Arp nam Arp nam!
DeleteNowadays the bigger and newer airports have started opening shower and rest areas inside the transit areas of their international airports for those who have to wait for over 5 hours above for the connecting flights. I was surprised that those paying facilities are very popular and that showed people are clean and hygiene in their habits. We probably have a mixed crowd of clean and dirty humans everywhere. I normally would carry wet towel wipes with me overseas and use them generously to stay dry & clean esp in Japan when their folks are so spotlessly clean freaks.
I think I cannot sleep without showering! When I was in US, my nephew looked at me and asked.. "How many times you showered each day?" and at times, he saw me going to the bathroom, "Not again?? " hahhahaa.. I only do two times per day and it was like... so awe for him... hahhahaa.. I guess cold countries, they are not into showering.. myself I am used to it.. cold or not, two times per day at least... hahaha...
ReplyDeleteI had the same stares from my American house mates too. They thought I was seriously abnormal to bathe twice daily during winters. So that is not a common habit for them and they claimed to be clean. I see there is no right and wrongs here, just by choice and psychological habits.
Deleteif they come to Malaysia, I wonder how many times they will shower. WOuld it be still once a day or more or none. How to tahan la the body melekit like that
DeleteWah ...claire...some more you do gardening there leh...sure sweat a lot though cool weather. how? Must mandi leh
They can go the pool and dip inside there mah...hahaha... like that, no need to shower so much and yet, cool them down from the hot weather here,.hahahaha...
DeleteSo, we know why angmohs love to sun tan and stay by the pool all the time....muhahahaha..
I agree that they have so many homes there with swimming pools. You could see them with big eyes when the planes almost land at their airports. I was always amazed to see many homes have big and small pools esp in the states of Texas and Southern California. I really admire their love for outdoor swimming but they don't swim daily lah.
Deleteaiyo...of course have to shower la in our hot and humid country. Well, in cold countries, I believe the folks there rarely shower as its too cold. I guess the colder it is , the lesser they shower. Furthermore, they won't sweat as much in colder climate. So, that makes sense to reduce showering in cold countries as I believe they will freeze in a short moment under those minus 0 degree. Even when I was in Cameron or Genting, I also seldom shower, probably once or twice a day cos its too freaking cold... brrrr..... and can easily can a cold. hahaha....
ReplyDeleteCheh! Busuk kurage anay! Muahahahaha
DeleteEven Genting and Cameron's mild weather could stop you from taking shower. We could still sweat easily in these 2 places which is less colder than my bedroom's aircon.
yes these two places will still sweat la. Last week I wnet there also when walking around felt like sweaty....not sweaty...but damp la. Tarak mandi will feel like tak senang. Come back to hotel though freezing cold still cepat cepat had a quick shower.
DeleteI still shower in these two places but less frequent la, maybe twice a day. If I am not working, I usually shower 4 times a day , especially after coming back from outside, Of course, these are quick showers la.... just to refresh myself and keep myself clean from the pollutants, later can cause skin diseases, you never know...muahhaahaha..
DeleteWakakaka! You are a crazy humanoid who blogs and showers 4 times daily when not working. It is funny that you sweat more and got dirty from the pollutants on your non working days. Since you are so hygiene and clean freak, you should avoid those deodorant sticks la.
DeleteI know it is so shiok to use the deodorant sticks esp those with French brands and they smell so nice with confidence. I have been involved with the palliative care of the Hospice cancer patients and the facts about lympathic cancers have really shocked and scared me a lot.
During my working days, I must shower before I go to work. Like you said, we sweat while we sleep and imagine all the body odour all over you and stickiness...yucks.. I can't stand it. Having said so, I don't shower when I was younger and when just started work. Probably I follow the schooldays routines where I never shower before going to school , in case I catch a cold as well as usually, time is always running out as its always a rush. Moreover, in the older times, we don't have water heater unlike now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's my habit to shower every morning as I feel fresher and cleaner while get rid of all the body odour and bed smell. hahaha... Even if I am in a rush, I will quickly wet myself and put on some body shampoo and quick quick settled it. Of course, two things cannot rush, which is brushing the teeth and cleaning the face. The teeth are too precious while it's better to clean the face thoroughly. As for the body, can quick quick shower la.
I remember in my older days when I didn't shower at work and also never applied perfume, I can smell my body odour in office during those hot days...muahahahaha... Anyway, there are still lots of folks who didn't shower before going to work.
Last time when I was working in the office, I will also shower in the morning before I go work, but just shower without shampoo hair, then after work when I come home, I would shower one more time with shampoo hair, cos in the morning usually in a rush and no time
DeleteBut during school days, I don't shower in the morning before go school
DeleteNot everyone has bad body odor when they sweat unless they ate too much mutton, beef or buffaloes. Some born with bad karma would also smell like camels when they raised open their arm pits and the pong from their ketiak busuk could make me faint.
DeleteEeewwwww!
err... sure or not ? mutton maybe la but beef won't la. If like that, oink oink even worse as they ate anything they found edible, unlike those grass eating animals.
DeleteBest is to go vegetarian but some like petai also ...err... :P
Yes they would make you smell like a cow. Why don't you try to eat beef for lunch and dinner for just 3 days and ask your shampoo girl to smell your arm pit? She might faint and need to call an ambulance to bring her to hospital to clear her severe nose blockage from the awful smell of your ketiak. Bwahahaha..!
DeleteAiyo, this also can be a topic to discuss here. I think in countries where they have cold winter, people generally do not take daily bath or shower. This is understandable. I read an article once about an old man living to 100 years old. People ask him what is his secret and he says he only wipes himself daily, taking a shower once a month only.
ReplyDeletehahahahaha ... I also agree with mun. Probably SK runs out of topic today but ok la...quite simple and fun to discuss. Just talk rot and enjoy.
DeleteI find it an interesting topic to talk about cos I always wonder how many times people shower in a day and do they shower in the morning before go work?
DeleteEh sotong kurage, how could you say SK has run out of topics dei? He will potong markah for your CB mouths. Wakakaka
DeleteHe has so much to blog and he is very sure such topics do concern us in general which could make us share comments easily. Please go wash your mouth before leave comments here lah. Wakakaka
During weekends, I shower almost 4-5 times a day ....muahahahaha.. Well, this is influence by my wife where I cannot sleep on the bed or sofa if I don't clean myself after coming back from outside. Anyway, I think it makes sense too as that is our home. Why dirty your house with all your sweat and smell. Just a 10 mins shower will do and it refreshes us too. My kids also follow the same routines, a quick shower every time they came back to home.
ReplyDeleteYou may never know how dirty is the environment outside with all the fumes, chermicals and microbes all flying around and sticking to your skin. Sooner or later, it may developed into a disease that we may not be aware. Thus, it's always good to keep ourselves clean whenever possible. It's even worse now with the haze where the unseen pollutants are already sticking on our skin and our lungs. Drink more water to expel the toxic and exercise to sweat it out in the gym.
If I sweat when I come home, I would just put a towel over the place I would be sitting or lying down. It is true that our sweats could easily seep through the fabric of the sofas and that would be very tough to clean in future.
Deletehahaha....might as well you get a shower and then turn on the air-cond if its too hot. No need to wet the towel and need to wash another garment.
DeleteSome fabrics especially carpets or pvc sofas can easily spoils with sweat or spilled kopi or chemicals... Have to take care le.
Oh well, taking showers is the best to stay clean but what if we are so tired when we got home and need to rest first with sweats?? It is better to rest and relax with a towel instead of jumping into the shower stall right away. We are not dogs lah.
DeleteIf you come back home with sweats, you are not supposed to shower right away lah! You opened pores would absorb all the waters and you will become a dented sotong in near future. So you need to wipe dry your sweat before shower! nah, you need to wash another fabric too. Amboi your sotong theory can wake the corpses up laughing before dying once again. Wakakaka
Yeah, like you, I also shower again after showering in the gym. Well, can't help it as I needed to travel a long way in the train or bus back to my SG home. By the time I reached home, I will be sweaty and a quick refreshing shower will helps, though most part of my body still clean la...
ReplyDeleteI understand why you needed to shower after the gym even you drive home. Somehow, there's this urge to clean ourselves when we are back home rather than heading straight for the bed. Yeah, no need to put in a lot of efforts, just a simple shower will do.
During weekends, after a nap, I do also shower before a game of badminton or a run. I find that I feel more alive after the shower though it's unnecessary as we will be full of sweat after the game. So, I shower again after the game and I feel good.
I also have the same beliefs like you. I prefer to shower before the gym workout and shower again after sweating in the gym. As I said earlier, it has to do with my own psychological well being of being clean. I think this is partially a clean freako sickness. Wakakaka
DeleteThere was a time when I was in a cruise, the temperature in that ship was so low and it was so cold in there. Imagine we will be there for 5 days since that's our tour package. And, besides dipping in the pool and Jacuzzi, we don't really sweat much unless I work out in the gym.
ReplyDeleteThus, I only shower once or twice a day then. The more I shower, the colder I felt...hahaha...
Where did you cruise until so cold?? You sounded like you joined the Amway's Alaska cruise and got frozen but then you mentioned dipping in the pool and jacuzzi too. Funny lah you.
DeleteOh yeah, like Aunty Reana , I must shower before I sleep else it's very uncomfortable even I am at home. With a sticky body, it's definitely not easy to sleep unless I am sick and stoned with the cough or flu meds.
ReplyDeleteThe best is after my run or gym workout, after a meal and shower. Then , hide inside an air-cond room to surf or read or commenting on blogs like what I am doing now, before calling it a day!
Chris, wow you really know how to enjoy life
DeleteEverybody must relax and wind down after a long day or week. This is call de- stressing.hahha
DeleteSo, do you guys still use soap to shower or all converted to body shampoo? muahahaha... The older generations still love the soap, not sure why, probably for nostalgic reason as well as habit. Imagine they have been using soap for all their life. And, like my dad, he likes the 'clean' feeling after washing with soap compared to some body shampoo which it is still 'unclean', you felt your skin is still oily or something. These are the do called body shampoo they mentioned that is 'soapless' and its good for delicate and sensitive skin.
ReplyDeleteMost facial cleansers are like that.
For guys like us, yeah la, we don't really spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Just get yourself clean and come out once done. Of course, there are some guys who spent lots of time showering. I remember I was waiting for 30 mins for my colleague to shower after a gym workout and I even went to the bathroom to check out if anything wrong with him....muhahahahaha... He told me showering is a pleasure, why not take your own sweet time to relax. hahaha...
ReplyDeleteI shampoo my hair everyday so I take half an hour for shower, I must shower everyday if not I will feel very uneasy and uncomfortable
ReplyDeleteI shampoo my hair twice a day. One in the morning before going to work and one in the evening after workout. I must put shampoo on my hair, I am not just wet it with water. I will blow my hair dry twice as well. Luckily I am born with thick hair, I don't have hair loss issue even though I wash my hair twice every day. Thank Goodness.
DeleteYannie... wah .. I knew ladies hate to wash their hair as its very tedious but you did it twice a day! aiyo..even more than guys, For me, I wash my hair daily as I can't stand the dirt and gel that I put on. Anyway, short hair like us never mind la, can easily dry and easy to wash. No need dryer!
DeleteLibby - me too, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't wash my hair daily.
I washed my hair twice everyday during my morning shower and after gym shower. I have no choice, I love to look good in the morning when I go to office, therefore I will wash hair and blow it dry in the early morning. I won't leave for work with messy and "wake up from sleep" hair.
DeleteAfter exercise, my hair is soaked in sweat, how not to wash again before going to bed? So, I wash my hair two times, luckily my hair is short too.
Yeah, sometimes can be troublesome. I saw ladies waiting for buses or taking trains in the morning with a bad hair day. Some when they stand near to me, I could smell their busuk hair and I gotta turn away.
DeleteIt's good that you take great of your professional image and I guess you gotta wake up extra early. After gym .. yeah la...can't help it! Must wash away all the sweat clean clean!! hahaha
Usually I shower once a day, unless I am super super warm and uncomfortable then I shower one more time but this time without shampoo my hair
ReplyDeleteaiyo...SG so humid and you shower once a day only ? Not enough la... Sometimes after I shower and when I go down to buy dinner , I need to shower again after returning home, though it's just a short while. The weather here is too humid, compare to Malaysia, maybe it's closer to the sea.
DeleteThere was once my colleague was surprised I use shower cream to shower, she says she use soap, cheaper but I am already used to shower cream
ReplyDeleteLibby, a good soap may cost more than normal shower gel. I let my daughter use Cetaphil soap, because she has skin allergy. I myself will use soap, showel gel and body scrub alternately.
DeleteMy kid also has skin allergy and he uses Ceptaphil. Anyway, his is a body shampoo. Compared to soap, I think body shampoo is more hygienic, of course, it is much more expensive. But nowadays, most of the people uses body shampoo la.
DeleteDoctor prescribed her Cetaphil soap, I let her use it all to herself, not sharing even with siblings. I guess soap is more economic than body shampoo. Soap won't run out that fast when compare to body shampoo especially it is to be used by kids daily.
DeleteGood morning SK
ReplyDeleteTalking about going naked ka today hahaha...hamsap boy....or maybe me yellow minded only la.
Now that you mentioned it...ya lo....i think i heard that before...something about "ang moh" tarak like to mandi. Not sure about French la. That time was my granny time lor when i heard it. I was very young la. That time they were talking about a niece that got married and stayed overseas. You know la....bla bla bla....one thing lead to another..say they dun like to mandi and that they have funny/weird smell.
Hey...another thing that i heard was that they smell funny coz all the cheese that they ate. LOL....ya...sound so racist hor.
Guess over there when they talk about asian, it will be the same la. for them we pulak will smell funny...sweaty and stinky...all slit eyes...cant differentiate between one asian to another.
Can't help sweating la over here coz weather here so darn hot leh. Stay inside the house and never do much also can sweat punya leh. Moreover, added with the global warming. lagi teruk. Plus recent haze...
Now this pussy cat has clarified something about the ang mohs who disliked to shower! I would say my American house mates seldom showered during winters, maybe once a fortnight only! Yikes! But they didn't smell as the temperature was zero degrees and below. Just like the frozen meat inside the freezers which do not smell at all inside the freezing temperature. Most probably the ang mohs everywhere have this traits during winters but if you are implying anytime of the year, I really do not know this facts. Let me google them!! Wakakaka
Deletemust be during cold weather la. Heard the summer there hot like hell.
Deletehahaha..... first time I heard cheese can gave bad odour. I thought it's garlic and onions ... haha...
DeleteYeah la..it's the cold weather there which actually, they do not need to shower. In cold weather, they hardly sweat, thus they will have lesser body odour. And, when they step into the bathroom naked, I am sure they will be frozen like Elsa if they shower for an hour.
Maybe if they have an heater and hot water, that might have a difference la. Who knows, there are still individuals who love to keep themselves clean in cold weather.
Aiks...when you study overseas you skipped taking showers ah? LOL....guess the weather is too cold la. How to mandi like that. Later too cold fall sick lagi teruk. over there the medical expenses will be very high leh. See doctor and have to take ubat from different place. Not like here. Ya though here we back complain but at least not that bad gua.
ReplyDeleteSkip one day shower okay mah. Some more over there hot hot weather where you sweat a tonne . There sweat pun little bit only. Don;t think will effect much gua. Just spray a lot of perfume lo.
Hahaha.......come to think of it...hmmm.... no wonder la when people come back from overseas vacation especially from the cold weather country will be shrouded with perfyume smell. Hahaha
Funny thing about perfume and sweat is that we..ourselves..cannot smell it ..maybe perfume you will smell la when you spray or put it on but after like 5minutes your nose will be biasa with it already and won't feel like got wear perfume at all leh. Maybe that is why people tend to spray a lot of perfume. They thought tarak smell padahal it is their nose that got accustomed with the smell already. Same goes for sweat. Hahaha....touch wood..so far nobody gave me perfume yet .hubby...
Dei dei dei... this has nothing to do with the extreme temperature that prompted him to avoid showers. Our Sherman Khan loved to jump into the river Ganges from the tree branches in Chennai's slums. He could do that shower feat in muddy water thrice daily but in UK, tarak sungai for him to lompat terjun mandi dei.
DeleteCan jump into Themas River dei...but then again dunno will timbul or not la after jumping into it...many disappear terus leh :p
DeleteNow I am confused ...got anay, thambee and sherman kan ? simi lai eh... walau... Jump where also the same la if cannot swim, sure tenggelam. hahaha...
DeleteI also put on perfume lately but I can smell it leh... Well, maybe I think it's due to certain perfumes la. I remember when I used CK B, I also felt that. No more smell after 5 mins but my colleagues managed to smell it and ask me what perfume is that. hahahah...
Not really la... some folks who came back from overseas always shower cos it's too hot here but seldom put on perfumes. I guess depends on individuals la... For angmohs, I guess it's their culture to put on perfumes. Indians prefer to apply powder , I realised. Malays likes to do use deodorants. Anyway, this is just a generalization only la.
Am same like you. Not a clean freak but each time after coming home from outside jalan jalan, will go and have a quick shower. Feels uncomfortable la if tarak shower. Like sweaty and have dust all over.
ReplyDeleteWorst still during this month where the haze is back. Heard that it will be till November wor...sobs sobs....cham lo.... with haze...even at home also can feel face full of dust ...or maybe am just too senstive la.
wei...got cantonese saying" ALready wet the head...might as well take a shower too".
Of course la after come home if you wash your face only and already in the bathroom...might as well as take a shower too. Unless your family is waiting for you to makan dinner la. that is a different case la. Otherwise just mandi lo.
Me too la....after cooking....usually will be sweaty...beh tahan punya...i would run upstairs and mandi first before having dinner...after dinner washed the dishes and all...then go mandi one more time. waste of water but but but...beh tahan la ...body sticky how to sleep though with air-cond on. yea...sometimes will sweat too when sleeping especially when aircond is not on.
the only time i like to be sweaty is when i have fever . Purposely drink hor yan hor and go under the thick blanky ...sweat out the fever then will feel better
Yes, totally agreed with SK and you. Since want to wet the body or feet , might as well go for a quick one, especially in our hot and humid country. Aiya, if I were you , I will also mandi whether I cook or not. It's better to feel refreshed for makan than sleepy and moody with the whole body sticky and sweaty.
Deletehehehehe...paiseh paiseh...if you gimme 1 hours...i also can stay 1 hour in the bathroom with hot water on. It feels so relaxing when the shower with hot water is turn on full blasted...so syok to mandi....
ReplyDeletehaiz now seldom have this chance liao. Not even 5 minute someone will keep calling Mama Mama Mama....really berak also no time to enjoy the berak-ing.
wah ... this mamarazi really loves to shower. You should have a bathtub in your home. Get two, one adult and another inflatable for that little kucing. Then, you can spend an hour in the bathtub fill with aromatherapy essential oil while the kucing can jump up and down in the inflatable pool. Good idea hor?
DeleteYeah now she gives me an idea that they should have a jaccuzi bath tub at home so that Kaldip, Mamarazzi and Small kucing can mandi beramai-ramai to save time. That's common in Japan where whole family soak inside the tub and scrub each other. Adoi, I feel so shy lah if soak with my family.
DeleteI love taking shower. I took shower 3 times on weekdays, and 4 to 5 times on weekends.
ReplyDeleteMorning, I must shower before leaving house. I agree with SK, we do sweat during our sleep even though we took shower right before going bed. We still need to shower to clean areas like armpits, private areas, back, chest and neck. Those areas are always need special care.
Back from work, I must shower again before I go for exercise. After exercise, I take shower in the center. Like Anay said, the bathroom in the center has special effect that can cool down the hot body immediately. I prefer showering with cold water. I heard showering with cold water would burn more fat than showering with hot water, true?
In my company, we need to do morning exercise together before morning briefing at individual department. Alright, this is the time we can tell who is not taking shower in the morning.
DeleteI can stand beside those people who has armpits smell, I will run away and choose a better fengshui spot on the next day morning exercise.
I remember Anay mentioned before, smelling good is actually attracting good energy to ourselves.
Therefore, I will make sure I smell good the entire day. Even before I go to gym, I will bath, after gym I bath again.
Luckily I am a person who love showering. Showering is my hobby, hehehe!
Morning shower, I a bit cincai, I don't use soap. I just wash my face with cleanser to remove all the oil and the face cream that I applied overnight.
DeleteAfter work shower, I also cincai, if I am going to gym later.
After gym shower, I will plenty of anti bacteria shower gel to wash all the sweat from whole body, especially my back.
I read somewhere, it is no good to use soap or shower gel too often in a day, it will dry up our skin. So, I limit the usage of shower gel to once or twice a day, i use it especially after work out in the gym.
Same like SK, I won' t take too long time to shower in bathroom. I just wet the body, apply soap, wash away soap, dry and apply powder, that it is. Unless I need to do waxing during my shower, then I may take slightly longer time.
Deleteaiya ..morning where got so much time to shower. Quick quick settled it asap , get dressed and off to work or breakfast. hahaha... Of course, after work, it's good to indulge in a long warm shower, if possible with aromatherapy oil. I did that when I was younger and curious about these essential oils. Anyway, nowadays, night shower also quite fast la, but not as fast as morning. At least, will try to clean the body more thoroughly especially after a run around my area.
DeleteYes, soap and body shampoo which contains soap can dry our skin. And, there are some body shampoos which don't contains soap or lesser soap. My wife did buy those but I dislike it. I still love the 'cleanliness' feeling with the soap as I don't know whether I have rinse away those shampoo completely without soap.
waxing? You mean remove the body hairs? Aiyo...so painful and torturing! :P
Deletewah ... yours must be a Japanese company. After exercise then everybody go shower? aiyo...very troublesome but then its the company's culture la.
Deletehahah...you gotta stayed away from those ketiak smell .... or spray deodorant on them... hahaa... I also cannot stand some folks who don't bother to control their armpit smell... I will try to cut short ther conversation and move away.
It is just a brief stretching of 5 minutes. It won't be people sweat in the morning. But, the bad smell is because of they skip the bath in the morning. Like SK said, even sleeping, the body perspire and sweaty, some people is so lazy to bath in the morning, therefore they have the armpits smell when doing stretching exercise.
DeleteNow, I could identify who is not taking bath in the morning, I would not stand beside that person while doing the morning exercise.
Walau eh! I love this Yannie's office where they have morning exercise which is an extremely good motivation for everyone. I saw that every morning all over Japan even at the shops and restaurants. The leader would do simple stretch exercise for all the staff to follow before he scream all the motivation talks and clap often. The clapping would actually send our blood circulation running. The Japanese culture is so wise.
DeleteSo Chris thought after stretching, all the staff go shower?? By the time habis mandi beramai-ramai, they start work at 12.00 noon! Muahahaha I would also move to Taiping and work there if they have exercise and bathing rituals daily.
April loves showering like me too. She takes shower 3 times a day too. Before going to school, after school, and after tuition. She showers even though she sweats a bit. May is a bit lazy, she mandi kerbau only. So, I always scold her to clean herself more thorough.
ReplyDeleteWe whole family love putting powder underarm after showering, so that we smell good and fresh. We don't use deodorant also.
DeleteI guess girls love to shower more than boys. Even my kid too, asked him to shower is so difficult. He always tried to delay and delay by doing other things or watching tv. hahaha...
DeleteBut my girl is different, she likes to smell good and keep herself clean. That's also why generally these planet Venus creatures are more tidy, tardy than us men and boys who are from planet Mars....muhahaha...
Anyway, we always make it a point to get to shower whenever they are home from outside. However, we put skin lotions on them , like those from Cetaphil instead of talcum powder. They have sneeze as cannot tahan the powder.
I don't think boys shower lesser than girls. Both are also humans and that showering for hygiene reasons is a subjective care for their won well beings. I also do know many females who dislike to shower! They would shower only maximum once a day if possible. They dared to tell me that and I shook my head in disbelief before telling them to stay away 1 kilometer from me. Pong!
DeleteI am amused by your beliefs about Venus and Mars! You are Kurage Anay and come from where dei?? I guess must be the sea off Japan! Muahahaha
muahahaha... now I got a nickname....Kurage Anay ...hahaha...
DeleteOK la..maybe I just generalizing. Each individuals are different. Yes, even there are girls who are lazy too !
I do believe Venus and Mars relationship theory but that's not the discussion here la.
You rather believe the Venus and Mars instead of traditional medicine which you want proofs to convince you. So many things have been proven to the world but people are just ignorant today. I noticed that after midnight, your comments tend to swim like a kurage in all directions. Muahahaha
DeleteSo you like Kurage Anay? Please stop calling SK your Anay when he is 10 years younger than you la. Sorry to say la, cannot pretend to hide your age when you didn;t photoshop your original photo. Wakakaka
一天是固定冲两次但如果我像你在健身房冲了回家就不会再冲多一次 LOL
ReplyDeleteAfter showering in the gym, I don't necessary shower again when I reach home, unless I sweat again. When the weather is extremely hot, the moment I step out of bathroom, I already sweat again. Therefore I will sure bath again before I go to bed.
DeleteOur weather here is so humid and hazy these days. I sweat so easily and feel so dirty with the haze all over our office and homes. I should wrap myself with cling wraps to stay clean. Muahahahaha
DeleteI perspire heavily, not sure because of i have bigger skin pores, or I have active lifestyle. I perspire more than other people, I notice that when we exercise together, be it in the gym or the zumba lesson. I need to prepare my own cloth to wipe the floor and machine after i used.
DeleteTherefore, I change clothes and shower many times every day.
When I grow older, sure i got a lot of wind in my body. Haiz!
It is so true that we easily get wind inside the body when we age. This 'wind' is very dangerous when accumulated and could be fatal for some cases if untreated, as reported by TCM.
DeleteIt is healthy to sweat more often than others to excrete bodily toxins. It must be your good metabolism and rigorous exercises that make your pores breathe so well. So bagus dei !!
Yannie - If you driving and go straight home, then it's allright la. For me, I needed to take trains or buses to go home from the gym, thus definitely have to shower again , maybe a quick one. Sometimes I feel it's a waste of the gym's toiletries like body shampoo, cotton bud, gel and so on since I shower again. Of course I gotta shower after the workout else everyone will avoid me in the public transport...muhahaha... I also miss the nice smell of the body shampoo from the gym which will washed away by my home shampoo.
DeleteAnyway, I think i will shower even if I drive home like you. At least, I needed to wash my legs and if I do so, like what SK said, might as well wet the entire body. I feel more comfortable to shower at home before hopping onto my bed.
Yeah! It is only less than 10 minutes drive from gym to my house, it is already 10pm when I reach home, so I won't bath for the fourth time in the day already, unless I really sweat again due to the heat after workout or weather.
DeleteIt is not advisable to shower too late at night when our body's cells and organs are preparing to sleep. A cold shower might shock them up and our biological clock might go cuckoo instead! Muahahaha
DeleteIf cannot take warm shower, I would rather wipe briefly with small wet towel and pretend that I have taken nice shower.
我肯定要每日沖涼，就算發緊燒都要沖涼。
ReplyDeleteeeerrr.. i take once a day and sometimes I skip a day LOL especially when laziness strikes me... I have no girlfriend to impress after all hahaha
ReplyDeleteoh i seldom take perfumes too...
gosh I just realized how poor my hygiene is LOL
Eeeewwww!!! How could you skip bath even for a day! You better get a girlfriend soon so that she would grill you to be sparkling clean and good smelling! Why on earth is this good looking pinoy not having a girlfriend yet? You must be fussy. Just kidding.
DeleteYou should live in Japan as the folks there place top most priority in their hygiene and cleanliness. They would go to onsen baths to scrub themselves real hard.
Bluedreamer lived in a cold country, I guess he can't help it but to skip it. How about turning on the water heater? Unless he's really lazy to shower since be profess he's not very hygienic.....Hahaha...
DeleteYeah, get a girlfriend like what TM mentioned and she will nag you daily until you shower twice a day at least.
Hoii Kurage. This Bluedreamer lives in Philippines dei. What cold country you talking about dei? They have so much rain and active volcanoes with humid weather and typhoons. Sure he needs to shower 3 kali sehari. I already mentioned he is a Pinoy and now I know you simply comments after speed reading dei. Phiak! Potong markah...lah
DeleteI like to shower even in four winter country, don't know, i guess I'm get used to it, if I don't shower, I'll feel myself very dirty. I will shower twice a day, first is right after I woke up then second is after I get back from work or from outside. The only time I got to skip is maybe I'm too tired or too late at night. Elderly people said if take bath at late night will cause the bones pain when you gets old. So I better don't take the risk.
ReplyDelete10 minutes is pretty fast to me, I need at least 15 minutes if I wash my hair, maybe because I've long hair, and also need to apply some body scrub, hehe!
But one more thing is my evening shower that one, don't know why I like to go to sleep after it, people said after shower will be awake instantly but for me is the other way round. And the thing is I just wash my hair, the hair still wet, can't go to bed, and the thing is just 6pm but I feel sleepy, guess I was too tired from work everyday ya!
I also have this psychology matter like you and need to shower no matter how cold the brutal winter could be. Everyday our skin cells will flake off and the same goes with hair follicles which will drop off. So it is up to us to shake them off or use water in the shower to clean them thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteI always sleep better after a warm bath.
I will feel awake after a shower unless I'm very tired. Most of the time after my gym session in the evening and after the shower I will feel very refreshing and alive....Hahaha. That also explained why I usually commented on your post on the late night.
DeleteI guess it's ok to shower late at night though I also heard stories on arthritis.Anyway, I'm not really a firm believer of traditional medications thus I don't bother unless there's a proof that it will caused it.
I am searching under the bed and tables now. Who was talking about traditional medicines here? You are funny dei. She only said about old people's beliefs and that is so true which has been proven in western anatomy and physiology research which you better go read up instead of just simply be a laughing stock here. Hihihihi
DeleteThey have mentioned the hours when our body needs to rest, sleep and repair its cells yet you always stayed awake like an owl everyday instead of sleeping just to get FC!! What is FC for midnight owls? Keranda Pertama? LOL
When cells are weak, people aged faster and look older than their age besides losing their hair. What am I talking now??
Twice a day! And I realised I take less time than you.. 7-8 minutes to shampoo, shower and clean face! Guess that's what having kids do to you. Haha.. everything express!
ReplyDeleteWow!! You guys set world records for hair washing rituals. I think I take 30 minutes to clean up.
DeleteI love my shower time! But sometimes depends on mood also, don't know why sometimes will feel lazy and don't wanna go to bath one, especially when I need to wash my hair, cause washing my hair is tedious, even though my hair isn't the very long type, but also need wet it, put on shampoo, then massage, then rinse, then put on conditioner, then dry it with hair dryer, then put oil and gel then style it, LOL, sounds like a lot of works hor? May be that's why I am lazy going into shower room sometimes. But I do love the feeling after a nice bath, feel like whole body smells good and clean, cause need to carry and feed baby ma, so body must be clean all the time.
ReplyDeleteNormally I bath twice a day la, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, regardless of weather. As for shampooing the hair, once every 2 days.
Will not skip bath no matter what. Unless during confinement, hoho, that one I don't have a choice, cannot bath everyday....
And normally, if I don't shampoo my hair, I can kaotim shower within 5 minutes, hehehe :p
But if need to shampoo the hair, probably another extra 5-8 minutes ba!
Yeah lor, I knew ladies dreaded washing their hair especially those long hair. Unlike us guys, you all have to take care of so many things like what you mentioned. If you asked me to do like that, I rather let the shampoo girls do it besides massaging my scalp....muahahahaha...
DeleteEven applying conditioner every twice a week I also lazy. Hahaha... But all ladies cannot tahan without shower, at least two times a day. Probably ladies took care of their bodies more than guys.
I pity my wife during her confinement period. The confinement lady was very strict and ask not to shower for a month but I know she can't take it. When asked my permission whether she can shower or not and I told her by all means,just take a quick shower.
Kurage Anay, I wanna laugh so hard at your comments. Why are you so lazy to apply hair conditioner to your crown?? You are so hamsap and want to pay the ladies to do it for you. I wonder whether a hair wash got happy ending too? Wakakakaka
DeleteI am still laughing dei... you behave as if your hair is thick like a jungle.
Eh hello - Why you pointed out that SK has run out of topic to blog but the topic seems perfect for you to spam so hard like a THOR. As I mentioned earlier, he takes great lengths to think of suitable topics for us to debate la.
