Man, that's the one thing I really miss about Bathurst, apart from all the guys and girls that I've known for years around here...No Limit Texas Hold Em...I'm not saying that I'm good, I'm not saying that I'm bad...I just roll with Lady Luck...but at the end of the day, I still enjoy myself immensely...
Yesterday was a very "Don't know what to do" kind of day...in the afternoon, after some lunch, things finally started moving...I'm going to be moving into the unit next door to the university...:)...the unit is already semi furnished, with a fridge, washer and dryer in the laundry, some couches, microwave etc...and beds...*sigh*...but I'm currently sleeping in my own bed...and it's so nice...
Changing all my eBay details...I'm no longer a business...hehe...I think it's about time to start updating all my records anyhow with a new home address and all that...
Anyhow, things are going alright...had a haircut, Grace's dad is spending some time with her, so all's good, and yea, just going to be bumming and packing and organising stuff...yay...
Be safe...

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
