Finally here

Hello all,
I am happy to report that I am finally here in Adelaide. Came here last week with Andy my dearest other half who has since this morning left for home :-(
So far things have been great syukur alhamdulillah. Upon arrival I was met by my supervisor who so far has been very friendly and helpful but nonetheless very keen on wanting me to start lab work asap. The idea of my project currently according to him ( oh forgot to mention his name its James Paton from the Paton Bacterial Pathogenesis Laboratory) will revolve around the analysis of the role of Lux S in the formation of biofilm in carriage and pathogenic isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae or at least that's what I think. I have so far had one opportunity to take a look round my lab and have met with my research group . My campus is great so far.

Adelaide is actually quite nice. It is the 5th largest city in Australia with mediterranean climate. My housemate is great and so's where I am staying. The only snag at the moment is that I am missing the kids so much :-(. I feel really sad whenever I skype with them knowing that I cant hug them goodnight.

But no matter I will plod along and do the best I can. This is afterall for them too and I will do my best to ensure that the sacrifice we as a family have to go through will not be in vain.

All the same thank you Allah for making many things easier for me than expected. Syukur. I will do my best.
Speak to you all later. Cheerio!
