It's a Sunday! Where did January go!?!?!
Damn it...my PIN reseted for my Singapore Airlines account, and I forgot what the answer to the secret question was...damn damn damn damn damn...
The new rooms in Year 12 are ok, about 6 by 16 feet or so...nothing fantastic, literally cells...I'm next to the bathroom on the second floor, so I've gotten pretty proficient at fixing cisterns in the last couple of days...just some maintenance needed on doors, like oil and stuff like that, nothing fancy just yet...:)
I haven't really been sleeping recently, every morning at 4, wake up at 6...I don't know why...and I've got some sort of problems with my bladder too...sharp pain every now and then...nothing to worry about...taking meds for it...
The fireworks were pretty ok on Monday, the funny part was then the packaging for the fireworks on top of a tower caught on fire and you see these guys scrambling up the monkey ladder inside and putting it out with fire extinguishers...Luckily it happened after the show had finished...
School's alright so far, nothing fancy too...food's alright this year actually...and this is the first time that I'm using the school's network, so that's all good for now...new passwords for everyone, and I lost all of my docs in my files from last year...thankfully there was nothing important in there...
I'll leave it here, there's some things that I need to sort out online...maybe I can get on again within the week...only know from tomorrow onwards...
Who Is The Black Chinaman?
- Nick
- Kuala Belait, Brunei
- 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
