Leaving for Macau

sent my part of the EAE paper to my groupmate at around 1:20 pm (my flight is at 3:15pm and it takes 90+ minutes to get from my house to the airport)
failed at finishing the Research Methods paper
just missed the airport limo, had to wait until 2:05pm to ride the next one
in the meanwhile, my teammate called to let me know that luckily, she was at the airport and was able to change our flight to the next one (leaving at 7:40pm) at no extra charge
finally got to the airport at around 3:35 pm.
met up with my teammate and had K.Onion burgers at Kraze (mission accomplished!)
went through immigrations, sat around the waiting area, wrote a couple pages for my RM paper, but realized there wouldn't be any way that I can finish it by Friday 11am, so called the prof and *magically* she was still in her office (it was about 5:55pm) and she said it's okay to turn in the paper until Wednesday as long as I send her the official documents.
Suddenly very relieved, turned computer off and rested for a little bit, then boarded plane.

They were showing Public Enemies, 500 Days of Summer, The Time Traveller's Wife, and other stuff on the plane - really wanted to watch 500 Days but somehow the channels showing that one weren't working.. so watched Time Traveller's Wife instead.. pretty corny, as expected.
Landed in HKG around 12:20am, so the ferries from the airport weren't available.. so took a bus to Sheng Wan and took a ferry from there to Macau. (Thanks to H who researched beforehand how to get to that ferry pier!)
Arrived in Macau Ferry Pier around 2:10am, had to go through immigration AGAIN (which got pretty annoying by then - this is why you should definitely use the air-sea trasfer system!). Took a taxi to the hotel, checked in, met up with Ahyoung, took a walk around...
Came back exhausted (past 5am) and fell asleep.
