Wow! I serve an AWESOME God!!

Hey guys,

It's been exactly one week since I left the Gold Coast...I must say...it feels longer than that, but thats bcoz so many things have been happening, and so many changes to cope with...but nevertheless, I must say, I am just so blessed to be here....

As you all know, I have been looking for a flat to live in over the past week, and havent been able to concentrate and focus on my work, or pay much attention to what is happening around me, bcoz my mind has been so caught up with the whole house hunting thing...

Last Sunday, I went to church, and honestly, I was actually thinking of checking out another one closer to where I was, but I was offered a ride to this church that morning, so I went. I was introduced to this lady, who works at a school, she said she would help me to ask around about any available flats...Honestly, I did not expect anything, the next couple of days went on, and I had actually forgotten that I had spoken to her.. (snap, i Know...)

She sent me a txt yesterday and told me that one of her colleagues from school had a one bedroom fully furnished granny flat available, and I was so excited, because I knew that I did not have to go through agents (once again, I have been spared)...So I rang this Indian lady who had the house, and had a chance to view it today...

Before viewing the house, I was praying and asking God that He would give me a Christian family to live with...and the first thing this lady told me when I got into the car was..."I have been praying and asking God for His provisions..." and I was in shock, and I found out that she was a Christian too!!

How exciting guys, here, I have an awesome little one bedroom apartment, with a huge as TV and DVD player, and a double bed, and everything that I wanted and more...and its even better with a family that loves God too...

I am very excited and am anticipating my move this weekend into the house...

what can I say but PRAISE GOD!!! Surely He is the God of breakthroughs and deliverance... :)

I hope you are all encouraged by this. Don't give up even though everything around you may seem to be failing, God has a greater and better plan for you, and when it happens, you will know...

Ohh Gwee

Day 1&2 at RDH

Royal Darwin Hospital - Remote Public Health Nutritionist...that is my title..hehe..I think its really funny how they say Remote - guess I am really in the JUNGLE!! The first couple of days have been major slack...It seems like its gonna be like that for the rest of the week...

My supervisor very kindly picked us (my colleague and I) up from our accommodation and then we juz did paperwork the whole morning...then in the arvo we got our admin officer to drive us into the town with the hospital car..and we had coffee while waiting for my ID card to be done...talk about slacking...

the next couple of days is orientation at the hospital....I survived day 1 thanks to me making friends..hehe...tomorrow we continue the battle...but it's all going to be good...

The adventure is only just beginning.... :)

Week 1 Darwin

I arrived at approx 1am on Thursday morning in Darwin. The heat shocked my system, and the airport smelt like Singapore. In fact, this whole place reminds me of home in terms of the coconut trees and all the greenery, and the TEMPERATURE and humidity. When the wind blows, it is not cold. You don't even need to use hot water to shower. The "wet" season was just over, so no more torrential rains till the end of the year! woot woot! but I hear that the mornings can be a little bit chilly as "winter" is around the corner...

I must say I have been very blessed to have Julie come with me...because arriving in the middle of the night in this area is a little bit scary I must say...we had the best couple of days together, going to the outdoor deckchair cinemas to watch a really cute Hindi movie...it was awesome! We literally walked the entire city of Darwin. The sunset is simply beautiful...

And there is only ONE mall here - and its the ONLY mall in the Territory...so I guess I will be making trips down to the east coast for clothes..hehe

I start work this Monday, so all very exciting..my first job - something that I have been praying for for a long long time...so I'm pumped! :)

I'm back...

Hey all, I'm bak..the ahgweek blog is alive again!! after 2 years!! but I have deleted all the previous posts, and wanna start anew again...

Seeing that I am in Darwin, and that I havent been able to keep in touch with all of you, I decided that I should resurrect this blog, so that nobody gets missed out.. :)

So enjoy...feel free to post comments
