Mmm...
My parents are going back to Singapore later on this evening...:'(...of the entire holidays, I'm only going to have 2 weeks with them...:(...but geez it was a fun 2 weeks...I do regret not learning new recipes from my mum...*BIG SIGH*
Had dinner out tonight...ate at the favourite restuarant (Jolene) and just went all out...still feeling full from dinner...but it was fun...got some more shirts today too...always good...as well as this new thingy for my phone...dual SIM card holder...I've heard of them on numerous occasions, but never actually seen one, and now that I have, it's pretty amazing stuff...:)
I'm going to keep this short...there's nothing much happening in my life, 'cept that my parents are leaving......
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
