Ahh, only a couple more days left, 3 exams to go...
Cooked for Gabby, Hally, Tom, Chantelle, Katie, Ammon, Ammon's sister, Venessa and her boyfriend, Amelia and Mrs. Worthington. Turned out alright actually...beef rendang, chicken and potato in black sauce, egg and green beans, and a stir fry...got to do that again soon...
Not alot happening, the boys are getting ready to go home for the last time, going to be a bit sad I guess, but many of them are glad they're going...to each their own I guess...
Got to go and have a haircut later, so I better get going...
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
