In the Tusk at Airport in Santo

The Boys in the Santo Airport

Wii Fit - Rhythm Boxing

I play Wii games at home using a projector so the screen is big. Here is a picture of me boxing on Wii Fit. It is fun and good exercise.

Body Boarding at Pango

I love body boarding with my Dad when the tide is high and there are big waves. Big waves are good and bad. The first time I went on a big wave I got flipped over twice and it took me 10 seconds to get to the surface. But the second time I rode like a rocket to the shore.

It's my Birthday Today (March 29th)

This morning I went to a restaurant for a special birthday breakfast. I will have a big birthday party at The Fun Factory in a few weeks with my two cousins and a bunch of my friends. This afternoon I went body surfing at Pango. I love body boarding with my Dad. We caught a few big waves. In the evening we watched a Spiderman movie on our big screen.

Gathering at Erangorango, Efate (Feb. 22, 2009)

Here is a photo of some participants at the cluster reflection meeting. I am sitting in the front row. Unfortunately not everyone is in the photo because the group was too big, and the photographer was standing too close to the group. The Chief's Nakamal is in the background.

My Dad at the Meeting (Feb. 22, 2009)

My Dad gave a small talk at the gathering about encouragement. This is a picture of him sitting at the back of the hall before his presentation. The event was in a Chief's Nakamal which is a community centre.

TamTam (Slit Drum)

This tamtam is about 5 meters or 15 feet high. A tamtam is a slit drum made from a tree truck. It is used as an instrument (banged with a large stick) to call community members to general gatherings. The sound can travel several kilometres. Tamtams are also used for decoration and ceremonies. This tamtam is in the village of Erangorango.
