3 October - REady to GO!

Finally... we moved to J's house on 2 October evening for the night as my father-in-law will send us to the airport the next day.
.
Strange. I didn't know if I was too excited about the trip or I was just not used to staying at someone elses' house or room, I had trouble sleeping. I didn't get to sleep until 1am and I remembered I woke up a million times from then till 5am when the alarm went off.
.
I jumped out of bed at 5am, did a quick wash up and makeup and off we went! *kiss my HAPPY goodbye!*
.
With our sleepyhead we arrived at terminal 3 in the comfort of my father-in-law taxi. We quickly checked in and went for our breakfast. I requested for eggs! I love breakfast with eggs from Coffee Beans!


Yummy! My Break-O-Day with Brew-of-the-Day and his Club Sandwich with Hot Tea with Milk! Very very hearty and satisfying breakfast to start the unusually long day ahead!
.
We didn't have much time after that and it was time to board the plane. It was not exactly a full flight. A man came by and took the seat beside me as J loves window-seat, I was stuck in the middle while the man sat beside me on my right. Very unfortunate of me, this man has bad breath and gave me very bad headache later on during the flight.
.
As we settled into our seats comfortably, the flight attendant came and asked if I was 'Ms Low' and confirmed my Special Order! She then stuck a sticker on my seat! I felt like a royalty! At first I was puzzled and thought J had a surprise for me... and then I remembered J asked me for my meal preference when he was booking the flight online. So, we were served first. The rest of the passengers only had their share served the usual way.. you know the usual way - Flight Attendants pushing trolleys, sashay down the aisle asking passengers the usual brainless question similar to this, "Fish with Noodles or Chicken with Rice, Sir?" and when you answered them with your preference, they would then say to you, "Sorry we are out of Fish, can I serve you the Chicken instead?" Hahaha.. ok ok. enough mocking of their service.. Sorry.
.
It has been a really long time since I took longer flights. So, I was excited with the in flight entertainment. I found CSI! As I was indulging in my CSI, J was doing his usual MAN thing...
Reading the papers!

This was his Western Fish Meal and below, my Oriental meal!
I was happy on the flight! Previous trips, we were on Budget Flight without meals.

I loved the natural light that came through J's window.

Well, this happiness I felt did not last very long. After about 2 hours on flight, I was nauseous. Though the man beside me was sleeping, I could smell his breath. Did you know that if a person has bad breath or even if their breath are stale (without liquid for a period of time), the stale breath could also come out from the nose as you exhale. So next time when you are in a crowded train, please don't exhale as you like it because the SMELL would 'fly' out too! I have phobia of these experiences - I could faint and get all nauseous.

For the last 1 hour plus, I broke into cold sweats and fidgetted uncomfortably in my seat and grasping J's hand. I couldn't breathe freely due to his breath. I deliberately stood up to move out from my seat, as I would have to pass his aisle seat in order to get out, I wanted to wake him up so that I could stop breathing it for a while. I move in and out passed him for 3 times i remembered! Horrible man! I was more relieved and happy when we touched down not because we arrived at Hong Kong but because I could get out of the misery of his tormenting breath.

He made my flight miserable.
