"Mr Gumbleton,
Please be informed that I will be vacating the premises as per your instructions (given to me verbally on Saturday, 29 March 2008) on Saturday, 19 April 2008 by 1700hrs.
As I will be vacating the premises on that date, as well as leaving on holiday with effect from today Saturday, 05 April 2008, I have offered to the other housemates included in this email, namely Ahmad and Ahisa, Itaru, Nami, and Kuang, access to my food items, especially the fresh items such as eggs and so forth. Anything left over will be disposed of by me by Saturday, 19 April 2008.
While I am away between Saturday, 05 April 2008 and Wednesday, 16 April 2008, can I please request a notarised copy of my original written application form for my personal records. Can I also please request that monies owed to me be readied by Saturday, 19 April 2008 at 1700, when I, or an authorised delegate, will then return the keys to the property.
Please do not try to discuss with me verbally or contact me unless via email before Saturday, 19 April 2008.
Kind regards,
Nicholas Newn"
I've moved out of the house as of 1145 this morning...that email was sent at 0954...so, about two hours to totally pack everything that I've got up here on the Sunshine Coast...not too bad I guess...
I'm flying off to Syd in a few hours, so I better get my gear sorted out (I'm currently at Lee's place...) and have a shower...the last part was a "push into bag and squish" moment...
Man, I miss Grace...
Be safe, and catch up in a bit...

- 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
