Fiji Independence Day 2009

The Fiji Independence Day 2009 ( Saturday 3rd October )

This is my first time attending the celebration of Fiji Independence Day in Australia. The Fiji community in the Gold Coast did a magnificent job in organising the celebration. This is truly unity and harmony of the community. At the celebration, alot of other racial and ethnic groups showed up to support the celebration. Looks like its a cellarbration rather then celebration to me because most of the guests are aiming for the bar, but overall, it was a multi-cultural night where everyone were happy and enjoy the rest of the night. I brought three friends along with me because they wanted to experience the atmosphere. Two of there were from Middle-east and when they came to the function they were abit culturally shocked. No surprises, who wouldnt! for a first timer meeting the real islander. The celebration officially started at around 7.30pm with me and my house mates along with my neighbour singing the Fijian national anthem. I was proud to be asked to go up and sing the national anthem for my country and for my people. It was surely a proud moment where I stood in front of a multi-cultural crowd and sing in front of them. After the singing, we dinner and to be honest, the dinner was not that good in terms of the taste, quality of the food and the quantity given because we as Fijians tend to eat alot and especially in a celebration like the Fiji Day. There were some items performed like the Fijian Hula dance, the War dance (Meke) and the fire dance. It was a long night, the celebration ended at 12am on the dot. Myself and others did a little bit of clean up and then came back home. A night that I will never forget, a night that I will always treasure the moment and Im proud to share this with you. That night was Good life!

Today I have decided to register for a blogsite of my own. I chose to register blogspot.com because it is easy to use.

Today is my first time to use this blogsite and also my first time to post something on it. I have named the blog 'The story book of Life' and that means everything I write will be based on the events and incidents of my Life. There will be happy times and sad times in this blog, also happy ending and a sad ending, so there story book of life starts here from now.

I have never used a blog before, but I have heard so much about it from my friends. A friend of mine (if you're reading this..you know who you are :) once told me that it is good to have a blogsite of your own. I asked him why? He told me, its nothing much about it, its just a blog where people use for posting. Some people call it their own personal online dairy which is quite true. This is one reason which I wanted to have a blog now. The friend of mine also told me, just imagine you can write anything about what happen in your life or your friends life and put them in the blog (keep them like a dairy) and one day you can read it and remember the happy and sad days of your life.

It is hard to believe but somehow this is true. Our life is like a story book and we are on a journey and seems like the journey is very long and yet we need to keep writing about this story until the end. People always ask questions like this..what if tomorrow never come? What happen if this or that or something happen? The answer is we do not know and there will be prevention if it really something happens to our lives. No one knows when we are going to die because it is destined by God above. You can die today and I can die tomorrow, who knows, None of us do. It just the matter of time and when the time comes, it will answer all of those above questions and that time can come at any time of our life.

Do you believe that sky is the limit? think about it? most people will say 'YES' sky is the limit, but I would say if sky is the limit then why there is a universe out there? I'm lost...dont know what Im trying to say....lol :)

Afterall, I find that writing blogs is quite fun and I will surely keep writing and keep posting because Im writing till the time comes where I need to stop...when? I dont know...Just wait for it.

Cheers
