I'm sick... *.*

Finally, after 8 days and 7 nights of vogaye in Yun Nan, China, i was back friday evening. I intended to online as soon as i was home, but i failed to, because i had got sick.

Why? Well, it all started when i had the heart surgery. It all started when i had this congenital heart disease. I shouldn't had been there. I am destined to this what we call 'fate'.

Let me introduce some facts about Yun Nan first. Yun Nan consists of mainly highlands, about 96% of the land(Yun Nan is about the size of the whole Japan, has the largest number of ethnic minorities in China, located near Myanmar and Loas)is highlands. We went to Kun Ming, Li Jiang and Da Li. Kun Ming has the same height above the sea level as Genting(which is about 1000+m above sea level), Da Li higher a bit, Li Jiang is at 5000+m above sea level(which is even higher than the peak of the Mount Kinabalu).

I was okay when i travelled to Da Li, visited the Chang Mountain(苍山), but i was down with MOUNTAIN SICKNESS when i went to Li Jiang. As we all noe, altitude decides ur ability to survive. The higher the land you go, the lesser the oxygen you inhale, the lesser the oxygen content in your body. I admit that i'm a bit 'innocent', without caring about my health, without taking second attention to my 'abnormal' heart, i made myself brave to climb the Snow Mountain(玉龙雪山). There is no doubt that the scenery there is breathtaking, but then after climbing down from the Snow Mountain, i found myself dizzy, head pained, and i felt like fainting.

OMG. I had got it. Many get sick when they go to such place, and i was the one, in the group of being the serious ones. By that night, i had no appetite, wanting to vomit, and i did the next day. I vomitted the whole day, 5~6 times, nothing went into my stomach but i just kept on vomitting. Everything in my body seemed not right, seemed to be in the wrong senses. I had no energy to walk, my head dizzied, and i wanted to go home. Everyone in the tour group looked at me with pathetic countenance, some even came into my aids, my mum got fever after that because taking care of me, and i had missed some tourism places in Li Jiang. I was feeling really not well at all. I felt regret coming to Yun Nan.

After the horrible time in Li Jiang, we flew to Kun Ming, which is much lower than Li Jiang. In Kun Ming, everything was fine. It seems that i had regained my consiousness again. I beared with my sickness for a few more days, and eventually the trip was over. The MAS plane landed safely at KLIA at 5 something p.m. on friday, but, i found myself feeling not well again. The few hours in the taxi on the way home, my head was dizzy again, nauseated feelings returned. Oh dear. Quickly i consulted the doctor at Jinjang. The doctor measured my blood pressure, and he claimed that my blood pressure is very low, 100/60(what this means i dont really know), and he said, I shouldn't went to Yun Nan especially the Snow Mountain, the place is not suitable for people like me who have problem with heart.

I thought i had recovered? I thought i was fine already? After all, i was wrong. I'm still a patient, in the sense that i had gone through a heart surgery before, with the fate that i'm 'gifted' with unhealthy body.

Maybe this is what we call因果in Biddhism. I dont know what 'I' had done in my previous life, which caused me to have such unhealthy body in return now. I have to acknowledge it, and accept it. I'm still sick now, i can faint at anytime(as doctor said), but i'm feeling much better now. Tomorrow morning i will go to Hospital Malaya for check-ups on my heart again, and i definitely want myself to be exempted form National Service. This such hell-like experience, i dont want it to repeat again.

However, i still went to HELP University College open day today. Yesterday i had slept for the whole day, so i'm quite fine now. I'm going for the January intake(most probably, still not the final decision), and my parents wish to send me to stay at the hostels there for accomodation temporary. The hostels in HELP University College are new, was built only 3 months ago, each room has air-cond and its own bathroom. Wow, i tink the rooms there are as comfortable as my home, or even better, maybe i should consider that, since i haven got my P license. The hostel is 21-storey tall, the rooms are divided into 3 types - single room, deluxe sharing room and standard twining room!

Wish me a bright future. Wish me a good health. My friend wished me 'bon voyage' the day before i departed to China, but instead i had a bad bad voyage. Next time, i dare not got to high places again. Places with high altitudes, not for me!
