I met Rachel in February 2005. I was working in Invercargill, and playing rugby for Marist. We went up to Wellington to play in a 7s tournament and watch the international 7s as well. On the Saturday night, my team-mates went out drinking, but that’s not really my thing, so I went out to dance […]
You know the time will come when we will set the sun and we will have to go our separate ways. But in the time we had, you made me feel so glad I get to be with you another day. But we know that we show we can’t be held apart. You know I […]
Another one about Rachel and I. We met in Wellington when I had travelled there to play in a 7s tournament, with my team from Invercargill, which is at the bottom of the south island of New Zealand, so for the first year of our relationship, we were in a long distance, north island- south […]
You’re an island away, you hear my voice every day I know it’s not quite the same, but there is no-one to blame And now, I’m gonna be gone, you are still number one And now that I’ve go to fly, there’s no-one else on my mind. It’s not hard to see, you know I’m […]
On a microscopic level, this song is about being in charge of the emergency department during phenomenally busy shift, and feeling like it’s all getting out of control. You will have to hand over the department to your boss when they come in for the afternoon shift, and you’re not quite sure how to explain […]

This one is about my struggle after transferring to a trauma hospital. It was quite a challenge, and I’ve actually already written about it in my diary entry called ‘Hard Work’. Just when I appeared to have steadied the ship, it all started unravelling again when I lost Johanna, and I was fatiguing really badly […]
Ooh__ Ai___ Ooh__ Ai___ You know it’s gonna be tough But you hope that you’ve got enough You’v been building all this time To be sure that you get it right and it’s now S o you give it all you’ve got You can’t tell if you’re right or not And you think that you […]
This is another one about Rachel and I. It was often commented how well we got on and how infrequently we had disagreements. We were making dinner for her family at her parents place one weekend, and after a while, her Dad called into the kitchen “It’s awfully quiet in there….!” We were just getting […]
There’s not many times when we don’t see eye to eye but we still care We work it out, that’s what we’re all about and we’re still there. Sometimes I feel When you’re next to me that You must be crazy to love me I bless the day that I loved you Remember the time […]
