My last post in Australia for a while
I did everything i needed to do. I was productive, not stressed, not panicked, and relatively relaxed. So unlike me for the circumstances.
I am however getting excited about the adventures which lie ahead.

A special thanks to Marisa and Leyla for helping me achieve all the things on my to do list. Without your help i would have been describing a different state of mood above.

Three Two One
This week has been one of the busiest weeks of my life, yet i've managed to write everyday on this blog and my old one too. I suppose though i want to document what happened in my final week in melbourne so i could look back and it wouldn't be just a blur.
Over the last couple of days i've said goodbye to a few friends but tonight was the family dinner and i said goodbye to my cousins Emma and Claire and hugged them so many times i can't even try to count. It was so sad knowing that i wouldn't see either of them for quite some time. If this is what i have to expect at the airport but magnified (with so many family members there) i am not looking forward to it. I can't help thinking about Michael's farewell at those horrible sterile gates and me crying afterwards the whole way home trying to put on a good face for his little sister but failing miserably.
My leaving feels a little like my skydiving experience. When skydiving your relatively scared but in denial right up to the last second before you jump out of ther plane in which case you think to yourself what the hell am i doing (edited to remove the profanity) but as soon as you have jumped out its amazing, you don't think for one second will i survive?, you just enjoy it. Right now i can feel myself starting to think what am i doing? leaving all these wonderful people, and leaving the only home i've ever known but i know as much as i will miss everyone here that once i'm there i will enjoy Hong Kong, the experience, all of it: well most of the time hopefully.

Three nights left
I ate dairy yesterday (unknowingly) and boy do i feel it today. My body feels yucky and my head ahhhhhh. A food hangover thats it.
It dawned on me today that I don't really know when i will be coming back. Maybe one month, maybe a year, six months, i just don't know. It depends on when i won't to come home, and on various other circumstances. I would like to be there for at least six months however if I hate it i won't hesitate to come straight back.
(And no i still havn't found my filofax.)

Pre Hong Kong 2
I still can't find my filofax which is driving me crazy.
And no i still havn't packed, or done anything that i need to really.
Tommorrow i have to go pay for my half of the return flight and then the booking is finalised, no getting out of it then.
Maybe once that is done it will hit me that i am going to live in another country.
In the meantime i intend to try to fit in as much as vo cake as possible.
