Sorry for not updating recently, just been really busy...had the Combined Mass with MacKillop yesterday, and there was practise all throughout last week and this week...all day job yesterday too...not that I'm complaining...last day as a Juvi, and all I did was 2 hours work (2 Masses) and had Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea provided...it was a pretty alright day...talked to Chantelle a couple of times too...and met a couple of new people...nice girls...
Getting a bit tired of things in school...probably just not sleeping too well...kinda my fault too...but hopefully tonight will make up for it...

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
