Fijian

Fiji is called "Viti" in Fijian.

Shailendra was a Fijian East Indian in my Grade 6 class. We shared a camp cabin in Galiano Island, along with others, including my Taiwanese friend Tom.

"Moli" means "orange" in Fijian. My neighbour has this name. She is Fijian.

My Fijian neighbours' daughter has been on vacation in Costa Rica for some time now. Their family is a mix of Chinese and East Indian. Their daughter was married to a black Caribbean and has a son and daughter from him. So, her children are Mongoloid-Caucasoid-Negroid-Australoid hybrids.

My Fijian neighbour Moli, who is half-Chinese and half-East Indian, is a really good cook. I like her stews with sea cucumbers and also her duck curry. Her name means "orange" in the Fijian language. Her husband Leong is a good fisherman. The couple often speaks English with a Fijian accent. They know also Cantonese and Fijian. Moli knows some Hindi.

Years ago, my Fijian neighbour would wear a colourful wraparound "sulu" around his house and yard.

In the morning of the 5th of March of 2022, I ate at the pizzeria and drank iced black tea at the cafe, where Rob with now long brown hair, with a black sweater and orange worker pants, entered to greet me and Don, sitting at separate tables. A brown man in a white T-shirt and sleeveless black vest came to get coffee, his muscular arms writhing. I spent a minute in the woods. As I approached my house, I waved to Derek my Filipino neighbour in a green tracksuit, his mesomorphic silhouette showing. In the sunny afternoon, going back to the pizzeria, I saw, on the other side of the main road, a whole Jewish family with children, all wearing Sabbath synagogue attire. I waved to Gurpreet the Sikh at the gasoline station. At the pizzeria's front, a thickset bicyclist in black parked and locked his bicycle. I ate a pizza slice and drank a cold diet cola. Northbound, homebound, I could see the snowcapped mountains. Near my home, I waved to my Fijian multiracial neighbours, the grandson Darius and his grandmother Moli, whose name meant "orange" in Fijian.

On my way to the pizzeria a second time today, the 27th of March of 2015, I encounter Moli the Fijian in her garden as she trims her bushes in the sculpted shape of penises. They remind me of that old movie Caligula. Her name in Fijian means orange. Her husband Leong, also Fijian, studied sinograms as a child, but has forgotten everything. To each other, Moli and Leong speak a brownish English.

Moli my "grandma" neighbour on Lulu Island has big fig trees in her backyard, and she delicately trims her front yard shrubs in the shape of stumpy circumcised penises, reminding of the old movie Caligula about ancient Roman times. She is Fijian of mixed Chinese and East Indian descent. She looks just like a Japanese woman. "Moli" means orange in Fijian.

My "grandma" neighbour Moli, a Fijian of mixed Chinese and East Indian descent, has grandchildren Darius and Jewel, who are part black because their father was a Caribbean black. So, the grandchildren have all Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Negroid, and Australoid ancestries.
