Damn..lost yesterday's blog!
Oh well...start with todays...tomorrow's the swimming carnival...and tonight is the Opening Mass for the school...it should be interesting...missing out on the one activity that I enjoy for this..:S...
I've finally gotten a locker to put all the textbooks in...and my back is thankful for that fact...:D...at least I don't have to lug the books up the staits anymore...:)...
Going to start TAFE tomorrow hopefully...miss out on some of the swimming carnival..which should be real boring...not interested in joining any races...couldn't be bothered...
The newbies in the school are ok...well...most of them neways...but at the moment I've gotten no worries...yet...
The "Usual Suspects" haven't started their funny business yet...but we'll have to see soon...they're trying to run me out of the dorm...but I kinda like my area...3 windows in a corner...real nice...:)
Well...it's the lunch break now...gtg take care of some stuff...

Bye for now...
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
