Seeing that you live in the tropics, it could be Carissa macrocarpa. Does it have double thorns or look like it had them and have been cut off? Sometimes known as Natal Plum. See link

Or as Bonsai

I think that you may find it is not of tropical origin - possibly a temperate plant such as an Ilex. If you want to be sure bring it along to Cairns bonsai club - see info elsewhere on this site. Ash

Looks like an Ilex Crenata or Japanese Holly. Very hardy little tree.
