So, spam spam eggs bacon and spam, or spam spam spam bacon and eggs?
Having a talk to Steve, Fiona and Karyn about different recipes and what to eat...I'm going to be doing my weekly shop in a bit too, so I'm planning meals and ingredients and all that...and get this, just got a phone call from TAFE RE my security license...$1077 all up...and there might be a payment plan too, Jackie (from TAFE) is going to call me back soon with the options...this is so much better than the last quote I got from them, which was, "around $2000"...a lot of, "around $2000" hey?
Ok, just got a call back, they need 20% deposit, rest payable later, so that's $215.40. Now, to do or not to do? That is the question...
And what the hell do I cook for the rest of the week? I've got some left over honey soy chicken with boiled snow peas and broccoli in the fridge, and have some rice cooking now in the microwave, but yea, the possibilities of beef strogonoff, chili con carne, curry, meatloaf, tuna and rice, and of course, Spam...might need more eggs too...and possibly satay beef and noodle dish? Hell, I don't know...
Ok...so...$1077, + $520 (for rent) = $1597...$1600 all up...at the exchange of 1.27270, that's about $2036.33...hmm...to do it or not...

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
