Cairns

We have started a new life in Cairns. I am second year into my surgical training, my wife got a job as a pharmacist in Cairns Hospital, and our boy - Jonas has settled in his daycare - Pelican Early Learning Centre. We have moved into an apartment in Lake Street called the Edge Apartments, about 1km from the hospital and very close to the daycare as well, so everything is within short distance of each other. It makes commuting very simple and it saves a lot of time for us.

One of the most exciting things i was looking forward to is being close to a very dear brother of ours - Jeremy. Jeremy and i have known each other since 2006 when we started medical school together. For the few years we were in school, we have climbed the highest mountains, dived the deepest seas, and hiked the longest valley together. He is a guy whom i really enjoy being with, because of his simplicity, the values which he holds dear to his heart, and the similar passions that we have, which are adventure and mission. We then got separated in 20010 when i came to Australia to complete my medical school, and a series of life events/changes also happened between 2009 and 2013 which brought us further apart. I am really glad God brought us back to each other again and we are able to work in the same hospital and live close to each other again. The older i get, the more i am convinced that life does not consist of material abundance or accomplishment, but the depth and quality of relationships we develop.

Here is to a great and adventurous and fun 2017. :)
