Who Is The Black Chinaman?

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

VTA...

Variation To Assessment...first one....and it's a doozie...

Long story short, today, I'm finally going for my medical (that $1700 one), have to hand in a VTA for an assignment that I haven't even started due to having to find a house...well...read here:

Priorities:

  1. Organise house
  2. Get monies - check
  3. Apply for security license for job- check
  4. Study
Man....the past few weeks have been hectic...and I've also got to wait for the tenancy people to contact me today regarding my dear friend Midget...speaking of which...he's sent me an email demanding that I acknowledge that I understand that I have to move out by the 19 April...I've been advised not to contact him or have any discussions with him until further notice by the advocate at the university....:) Yay...

Helped (I think...) Grace and Jo with their assignments...but it was more me spending time with Grace (as I think she and Jo knew)...cooked dinner for them too...so I guess it wasn't that bad...and I think Grace and myself have been invited to an 18th birthday party on 19 April...hmm...I wonder huh?! Hehe...new house...party...NO GRACE, NOTHING LIKE THAT...but you do have a place to crash if you want...if I (when I) get this place....

*Sigh* One more day till back to Bathurst...and things are moving at warp speed at the moment...

Be safe.
