Flying to UK via emirates airline

30 may 2009
Let me start the first day. I had an 15-hour of journey from malaysia to reach Manchester airport through Emirates Airline. It was a nightmare for me. It was alright all the while from malaysia to dubai airport for flight transfer, but not until i departed from dubai to Manchester. Once i departed, I fell asleep and I did sleep really tight.

Not long later, a feeling of dizzy woke me up from sleep. I could only think of the only reason, the mask which possibly caused me lack of oxigen.

From that time onwards, i could not sleep well, could not even watch any movie but just lying on my seat to keep my eyes closed, hoping I would get better soon. Unfortunately, it was getting worse.

I asked the attendance for help/medicine but she did not encourage me to take it since it is presribed to stop vomitting. In the end, I just consume one bottle of "bo zai yun" brought from home.

Soon, i felt a bit nausea and hence went to the toilet. Oh my god, i vomitted. Throughtout the next 10 hours flight, I had vomited for at least five times. It was a shame during the last three times. I was waiting outside of the toilet. The toilet was occupied and consequently i was forced to "finish" the business in the kitchen in front of 2 attendances and a few passengers.

To my disappointment, they did not really concern. They continued with their own work. I had vomitted all i have in my stomach. Since then, i never vomit anymore but still I was not feeling too good.

I prayed i could arrive at the airport as soon as possible. I counted down from 5 hours to 1 hour. Finally I reached the airport, but I had to take another one-hour bus to reach the hostel.

When I first reached the hostel, I was surprised. The apartment looks a bit different than what i had imagined. There are 6 rooms with individual toilet. Once I opened the main door of my apartment, I only saw a corridor at the middle, with rooms at both sides. The kitchen and the store room are separated with their own firedoors as well, making them to look like an individual rooms like the bedrooms. So there are all together 8 rooms with 8 doors, excluding the main door.

Once i got into my rooms, i directly went to sleep. Although I did not vomit anymore, I still feel a bit nausea. I did not take any meal for the whole day. The weather here is as cool as in genting, but the UV here can be stronger than in malaysia, perhaps a little bit better or stronger than malaysia. If you stand under the sun, you will feel pain on your skin. On the other hand, if you stand under shade, you feel quite cold, especially with the wind.

After few hours of nap, I woke up and it was night. Soon it was time to sleep again.
