BULA~

Fiji, a country that has a total of 322 islands, consist of 14 provinces thereby giving you 14 different dialects within this polynesian islands. With a diverse ethnicity of Fijians, Indians, Chinese, Malays, the one thing they had in common was that resounding smile and warm greeting of BULA!
When I was in Singapore, Fiji used to be a country that seem really far far far away. Now that I was in Australia, I decided to bang my last few traveling dollars to go to Fiji with my other two mates- Eng and Casey. So there we took an ultra budget flight to Fiji with Pacific Blue that left Casey with a traumatizing experience and swearing not to take any more budget* LOL * Well! Going to Fiji on the 29th January allowed us to see the worst and bad of Fiji!!! WHY??!! Because we got stuck in a cyclone and had seen the best on a normal sunny day for tropical Fiji, tasted the closet to home weather/rain/paw paw aka papaya/watermelon, had the happiest time of traveling of all my travels. It was a sweet "graduation" for my traveling journey for summer holidays.

Fiji- not just liking it..but wanting to scream with all my heart I LOVE IT!!!

do you complete this word-"per-"

"Perfect"

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
Alanis Morissette- Perfect

Your way?

Nobody's Perfect

When you catch the little things
But Overlook the BIG mistakes,
When everything takes longer
Than what it usually takes,
When nothing goes according to
The best laid plans you make
Just remember no one's perfect-
so give yourself a break.

When the stress of your success
Makes your head and stomach ache,
When everything you touch falls through,
fouls up, goes bad, or breaks,
Please remember that you're human
For your sanity's own sake,
And relax-nobody's perfect,
So give yourself a break.

Pass it on card from P. Gary before I flew~

Happy Lunar New Year!!

GONG HEI FATT CHOY!!!
(Gong Xi Fa Cai!!)

It's the time of the year for a good load of feasting. Unfortunately, I cannot get to enjoy the Bakkwa, the chicken wings, fishballs and sotong balls, the kueh LAPIS!!, the many many things that we have for CNY in Singapore.
I get my share in Australia with my relatives- the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and as well as the visitings to each other house for a day long of eating and chatting and catching up after I've disappeared for SOOO long. When I saw all of them on New Year's Eve, their first reaction is WOAH!! so DARK!( and that's only having one sunny day in Fiji because of the cyclone). and yea..they said i grew fatter( no doubt, i ate really well during my Fiji trip and slept a little too much)

HM..Chinese new year without my family felt weird. I had to webcam with them for the afternoon when they were at uncle Roland's place. Everybody had a chat with me..saying hellos and looking at my pimpled face..and I really miss all of them. I was supposed to head home with sponsored air ticket but too bad ah..haha..

Anyhow!! School's starting real soon but before that happens..revision has to start. And Joshua Ko is coming to Melbourne so I might pay him a good visit before school starts and all:P It's always good to see someone from Singapore- especially when he's from my church!! Open invitations to anyone who wants to come and visit me..hehe..

I love u all and have a blessed Lunar New Year!
