Hmm, I think I'm going to quit my job...the situation is getting to a stage that things could get very very messy if people arn't careful, especially me...I've already drafted my "request for discharge from duties" letter, I know, a bit long winded, but it was alot better than an "I quit mofo" type job...looking at rental properties too, some are pretty alright, some are downright bad bad bad...was talking to Nashee (who many probably don't know; she's the ex of a mate of mine that I literally haven't seen in 4 years, but talk to every now and then online, and only just found out that she goes to the same uni as me!) and yea, who knows what will happen? No, nothing like that, I just approached her and asked if she was interstested in sharing a house that was close to the uni as opposed to driving from Orange every other day...
Talked to Erika earlier too, that was really interesting, but yea, glad she's alright and all that...
I've got to go and check out this house...I'll try to be back soon...
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
