Dont fall asleep in an airport

Kim and Nicky really spoiled me over the summer in Hong Kong, taking me out for meals, drinks, the Black Eyed Peas concert... and much more. Thanks guys you paid for too much and were really great to me. That combined with the money I'd won in Miami and working for KPMG I was able to go to Oz. Stayed with Brendan in Melbourne and then Davo in Sydney. Both really cool places. Was amazing to see Brendan and all the Aussies from the Holiday Inn (1st semester in Miami) Dave, Alex, Susie, american Kate, Alanna, Tidy, Bec guys it was great to see you all. Get your arses out to Scotland (during summer!) Alanna... lookin forward to seein you in December but man you're probabaly gonna freeze your tits off!! Unfortunately I didnt get to see everyone, most notably the drunken legend that is Brett Murray, or Tim Wilder shit party Laison. Or Rach..... god theres just to many Aussies. Unfortunately there just wasnt enough time money, or planning! It was all last minute scramling....

Had an amazing time. Dave's house is incredible, rooftop patio with view of one of the bays. I stayed in the pool house no less! The weather was pretty chilly when i first got to Oz tho ive become a bit of a poof after gettin used to Florida and King Kong weather so it probably wasnt that cold. Ill put up more pics of Sydney soon.
















the whole trip was amazin well until i fell asleep at the gate in Melbourne airport and missed my fucking flight.... i was raging... i actually changed the name on my passport to Raymond Jing.... Id got to the gate at 6am for a 7am flight now bearing in mind this was after a monumental night in Melbourne, much drinking and dancing, then a taxi most of the way home, the last leg of the journey by shopping trolley. This was made worse by the fact this night out came straight after a flight from sydney after a very messy night and only 4 hours sleep . I was knackered but I made it to the airport, i knew i would, i made it to the gate! i knew I would. But after sitting for 20 minutes in a seating are empty bar me and a Rabbi doing a ritual beside me ( i thought it was the alcohol but he was a real Rabbi) ... the next thing i knew i was woken up by staff asking who i was and saying "you've missed your flight" and pointing at the Cathay Pacific plane pushing back from the stand.... Thanks for tellin me! Wouldve kicked up a fuss right there but my brain was asleep and I was more concerned that I was gonna miss my BA flight i had booked from Hong Kong to London later that day.

SO...Had to be escorted back out through security and moved onto the next flight. I was absolutely shattered but had to stay awake and wait for 4 hours just so I could CHECK IN AGAIN! I must've looked fuckin dodgy, on top of drinking litres and litres of coffee I had to keep getting up and wandering around and around just to stay awake. the hours seemed to pass at a speed so slow even a dead slug could outrun the minute hand. went through all the security AGAIN ..Hi there... yep me again... no i havent got someone else to re-pack my bags in the meantime... no i havent left them unattended ..well apart from between when they were put on the plane and when they took them back off the plane so it could leave...

Managed to stay awake and got back to the bloody gate where i'd been that morning, to sit there for another three an a half hours. i had to use my credit card to buy a wee radio cause i was actually going insane
