Happy Day

"Happy day!" my manager Wayne likes to say that when things go smoothly and nothing shitty happens.

This is such a happy day for me. First, we went to church for Sunday service. Although the style is not like what we usually have, it's already a blessing that we have a church to go to. And I especially like the hymns because most of them are the hymns we sang back in high school! :-)

We sang this today and it's really good. I like the Chinese version lyric better though.

And this is my fave kid in the church. Hehe...Kentucky kid! He's always so happy! :")

What's more? I got a bike today! Actually I was thinking if I should go get one because it takes me almost an hour to walk home every day. But I just plan to get a second hand bike since I won't be here for long. And then, this morning Nenelle came to me and said she can borrow me her bike! Wow... isn't it too good to be true? :p


Dont think this is the end, it still goes on. I baked almond shortbread last night. Frankly speaking I dont think it is good at all. Too sweet for me. Well but I still have to finish them... so, Simon is victim #1. Haha! He said it's good (!). Even so, I couldn't trust his comments because he's always so kind and doesn't want to hurt my feelings. Haha! So I gave him two more and asked him to share with Stella. Victim #2 is my workmate Daniel. He also said it's good! Kinda unbelievable. So I quickly wrapped three more for him and asked him to take home! Haha... you see how much I wanna get rid of them. :p Victim #3 is another workmate Alison. She also said it's good! Hahaha.... and she helped me finish the last two. Yeah, they are all gone! Hahahhahahahaha....


Actually there are still some small stuff happening today which made me really amazed. But I think I should just stop here before you fall asleep...

All good

Well, I have to say, too many good things happened to me in Darwin, that's why I really like this place.

To give you an idea, I'll just throw some examples:

1. I work in a very nice place and the job is not difficult at all. Prior to actually working there, I was so nervous that I couldnt do it well. But I think I'm getting better now.

2. At my job, sometimes I get free and delicious food, sometimes I get free TOURS! Last time I went on a city tour and next week I'll go to Litchfield.


3. It has been so difficult to find a place for short term stay in Darwin, but one day I got a room for free! I only have to do some housework (like an Indonesian maid!) when I have time. And you know what? I also have my own bathroom and toilet and mine are bigger than my master's! Haha...

4. And in my room, I can use the computer and telephone. I no longer need to stand in the phone booth during midnight!

Behind all these, of course, lies all the good people whom I met here. So, it's certainly not hard to understand why I wish to stay longer...
