oh my gawd, Jonnnn...the mess is fantastic! haha...
;o)

i see you're packing for melbourne. :) oh, did i tell you we share the same family name? :) you don't happen to be heng hua as well are you?

I did realize that we have the same surname after browsing your site a bit. pretty cool.. we must be distant cousins or something.. Not sure what you mean by being a 'heng hua' but if you're asking if that's my Chinese name, no. i'm a Tze Teng.

hmm...i'm not sure what the correct word for it would be...ethnicity? i'm heng hua (like there are cantonese,hakka,foochow,hokkien etc) and the only two poh's i've met in my lifetime that weren't in my family happens to be heng hua too. was wondering whether you're one as well. :)

found the defination from a google search:
Heng Hua's originate from the Pu-xian region of China. Also known as Henghua ; Henghua ; Hinghua ; Hsienyu ; Hsinghua ; Putian ; Putten ; Xianyou ; Xinghua ; Xinghua

oh i see.. no I'm not then.. I'm Hokkien. I thought only Hokkiens spelt 傅 as 'Poh' instead of 'Foo' or 'Fu'. Now I know better.. :)
