It's been a while going, but it had to happen at some stage........
I've moved from the old townhouse...a lot of memories from that place, both good and bad...the unit got sold, and the new owners wanted to move in, so it was not that I had done anything bad in terms of being a tenant (which is good), but rather a series of unfortunate events...it's also definately brought closure to a number of issues in recent times...the final acts, hey?
Moving into my new place within a couple of hours, so that's going to be another adventure...
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
