In almost 7 hours time, I will be on a plane, taxiing away from the gate and about to take off for my new life in London. I won't be getting there until the 10th of course but close enough for the purposes of this post.
Mostly I want to use this opportunity to say how much I will miss all the friends I have made here particularly Jacko, Wentzel, Twit, Gaz, Cheryl, Chris and Nathan. You guys are the best and its going to be damn hard to find people with your level of awesome. I would go as far as to say you guys were legen......wait for it.......DARY!!!!

First of all, a huge thank you to Cheryl, Gaz, Jacko and Wentzel for coming out to the airport to see me off, appreciated it a lot.
I am almost done travelling for the day now. After leaving for Singapore at midnight today, I arrived in Singapore at the pleasant hour of 5:30am local time with very little sleep. damn height and crappy airplane space.
Moving on from that I have caught my 8:30am flight from Singapore to Hong Kong arriving safely at 12:30 which works out to be about where I am right now, waiting for my ferry to Macau. The ferry is a good service cause it means I don't have to clear Hong Kong immigration, the potential downside is that I can't collect my checked baggage so I am rely on some person, somewhere to pick it up and make sure that it gets to Macau. No way this can go wrong.
Meanwhile I am currently on the Hong Kong airport wireless network so I am pretty happy, Just have to wait about another hour or so but with internets, will be easy.

This is a pit stop on my way to London to visit my Dad and pick up some cheap warm clothes in the markets across the Chinese border.
So lets summarise my journey to date.
Feb 3rd - Left all friends and nearly all family behind in order to go to London
Feb 4th - Arrived in Macau sometime that afternoon and feeling very emotional about the whole thing; way more than I did when I left.
Feb 5th - Didn't do all that much. More a recovery from travelling than anything. Got bugger all sleep on the flight from Brisbane to Singapore.
Feb 6th - Crossed the border into China to pick up some cheap clothes...which I did along with all 13 seasons of E.R. The quality isn't the best and the way they have packed the files ticks me off to no end buts its 8 seasons more than what I had.
Feb 7th - Really didn't do much today. Spent most of it preparing Glee and E.R episodes for my iPod for my trip to London. Also organised accomodation in Hong Kong for one night as it was decided that my attempting to get from Macau to Hong Kong airport for an 8am flight was going to be downright painful. Thanks to Dad for covering the costs of my recent shopping and overnight accomodation. Hopefully seeing Zaia tomorrow, the exclusive to Hotel Venetian Cirque du Soleil show so we'll see how that pans out. Fingers crossed.
So thats it so far. I'm sure to have another update before I leave Hong Kong but so far the trip has been pretty good. Still missing my friends heaps and I haven't even been gone 5 days but eh, they were awesome.
