Shit...last 19 hours till I start going back to Bathurst...
At the State Library for the last day...finally got some headway into the books, but not much...going to have to pull out my finger later...didn't see the glamour that I've been seeing for the past 2 days :( and I remember who she looks like now...Tara Reid! No lie...bloody beauty...
Think I'm going to the City of Sydney RSL for dinner tonight, just to have a look see at the place...heard it was pretty alright...the bouncer actually okayed me to go in, then I asked if the Bristro was still open (it was about 2130 then...)..said, nopes, closes at 2030...had a tuna sandwich and choc Frency-pastry thingy (that we normally eat plain and with butter or breakfast...yea...those things! Can't spell for shit...)...I was thinking of asking Ms Library Chick (don't know her name, and wish she was here) out to dinner tonight...last night and all...and she's not here!
Hmm...I've got nothing holding me back tonight...both aunts are in Kiama overnight, so I've got the house to myself...no, no party...but you never know...
I've got to get going now...I'll be back later at about 1930 (when I have another computer booking)...
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
