I am now student number 6103404608 of the Sunshine Coast TAFE. Whoo! That was a trip and a half just to go enrol into the course...but it was fun...got some more times, went to the movie theater to pick up the timetable there, found another place to drink, and did some shopping...now just got to go and get some dinner organised (chicken sandwiches sound good) and go from there...
I also got Grace's phone number (more on her later...)
Cos it's like that...and that's the way it is....HUH!

- 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
