Yay, finished all the assessments that I need to do for my Preliminary Course, so I'm chillin now...
There was this social on last Friday, and I was tasked to look after the sound system which the school loaned the DJ's...10K worth of gear...putting it bluntly, the headmaster and most of the senior management would have ripped me a new arsehole if anything happened to the gear, which the last time they let out, someone spilled green cordial all over it...not much fun for that guy...anyways, there was this girl there that I liked, and one thing led to another...
I'll have to go now, classes are starting up again...
Exams this week too, so I'm sorta not out of the thick of it yet...:)

- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
