Message from Tomson re 歷史的山路

Dear Ma Sir ,

Wing On 's email mesage reviewed only not his feeling and certainly all of us have the same from the bottom of our hearts. You are indeed a dearest teacher and one of the best friends of ours. No one would deny that it 's been our most treasure to have met you in this life and enjoyed the first part of our life journey under your extreme care & most dedicated nourishment. The strong fundamentals laid down by you in no doubt contribute substantially to our well being in the rest of our life. I blame myself for not being able to type Chinese because Chinese is much more expressive in this regard. Anyway, Wing On has done a great job in expressing our sincere respect & appreciation to you with his high level Chinese. Also thanks Pak Ping for sharing this good piece of article which has motivated our passion.

Have a nice day
Tin Sung

歷史的山路

馬老師

這陣子事情繁忙，未有適時回應你的電郵。鄒天送寄上的謝咭是我們憑紙表心意，而照片就好作留念。

人生的山路上，行人熙來攘往，擦身而過的不知凡幾，能在我們心中留下深刻烙印的又有幾人？無論在小學、中學或大學，芸芸師長中，又有幾位會私下帶領我們到郊外遠足，替我們拍照和安排沖曬？紅梅谷已無處尋找，但黑白照上仍留存著當日情懷。又有那幾位會利用會考後畢業前的空檔，額外教授我們英語拼音，為升中做更好準備？

遠足、照片和拼音只是一些例子﹔你對我們的支持和關懷，會詺記於心。

剛巧孫北平轉過來龍應台的一篇文章，對其中幾句有些感觸:

“我們這一代人，錯錯落落走在歷史的山路上，前後拉得很長。同齡人推推擠擠走在一塊，或相濡以沫，或怒目相視。年長一點的默默走在前頭，或遲疑徘徊，或漠然而果決。前後雖隔數里，聲氣婉轉相通，我們是同一條路上的同代人。”

你和我們前後雖隔十二年，聲氣婉轉相通，能與你 （和各同學）在同一條路上同行，當是我的福份。

祝安康！

又﹕很快天涼好箇秋，假日西貢海鮮午餐？

Message from Mr. Ma

Dear All,

Got the card and 5 photos on your recent activities from Tin Sung.

I thank Tin Sung, Wing On, See Chun, Kwun Lap, Chau Tan, Wai Lai, Koon Tai, Ka Cheung, Pik Ha, Ka Lui, Woon Yee, and Tan Chi who signed the card and said nice words in the card. And especially to Tin Sung who had to arrange for the card and photos to be sent to me by post.

Also I would like to thank Pik Ha who made a point of mentioning me in her recent mail of 3 Sept sent from Canada to her Hong Kong schoolmates. I must say I'm very glad that I'd taken those black and white schoolday photos to catch the moments of your childhhood days.

Just wish to take this opportunity to thank Wing On who had arranged for me to be included in this mailing list thus enabling me to share your communications and the fun.

It really feels good to be able to maintain contact with you all and talk to you like this after so many years.

In 1964 I was about double your age at 24. Still a young and inexperienced teacher. By now I'm aged 67 and living a simple retirement life.

Ma Kai Woon

Message from Pik Ha

Dear All,

I am just back in Toronto and have gone through the mails and photos. Thanks so much for your hospitality and the joyful evening full of laughters and treasurable memories. Our childhood mischief and fun were never-
ending tales told a hundred times, each time with some fragments added to the big picture.

Thanks to Tomson's sweet remarks on us girls, which are always pleasant to the ears. But I must admit we do have traces of the years on the face. Fortunately we have exchanged youth with lots of life experience and
perhaps a little more wisdom.

I had the chance of talking to Mr Ma on the phone one evening. He sounded great, with clear voice and his usual gentle caring tone. He leads a very healthy life style and swims everyday and walks with Mrs Ma in the
more spacious neighbourhood in Sai Kung. I thanked him for taking the black and white photos for us in TPS.

To Nainai: I went to City Hall, but found out the tickets for all the shows of "For You are with Me 1/4 Centuary" were sold out. Anyway I read the book some years ago. The characters were in our class/year. Also I am happy
to be able to dig out my TPS P6 certificate but regretfully not the memory book like yours which is so valueable after 1/2 a centuary!

Thanks to Ka Liu, Won Yee and Chau Don and others who travelled a long way from NT to TST for the evening. For those I missed this visit, I look forward to seeing you next time. While in HK I was lucky to have many
good days with clear blue sky and bright moon up there over Victoria Habour...


My best wishes
Pik Ha

Dinner at Serenade Resturant on Aug 26, 2007

(Photo 1, Tang Chi, lost and found, left; Pik Ha, guest of the evening, right; Ka Lui and her husband at the centre. Photo 2, Group photo during the dinner. Photo 3, Group photo after the dinner with Victoia Harbour in the background.)

Dear TPS Folks ,

Again, we had an enjoyable evening yesterday at Serenade Resturant, Tsimshatsui and thanks to Stephen's good arrangement plus his excellent wine sponsor.

It's great to see Pik Ha as young as teenage girl and time did not leave any traces on her face; retired life in Canada must have been a wise choice. While we found it a pity that she gave up her doctor profession a bit too early, she has in fact passed on the great mission to her younger daughter who will start studying medical in HKU soon. What an excellent delegation from a management perspective! Another big success this time was the re-union of Tang Chi to our camp and we all gave great credits to the blog which Stephen had created. We are looking forward to recovering the contact to more missing brothers & sisters !

It was also nice to have Won Yee & Chau Dan joining us this time and they all looked pretty & young as before; really no clues that half a century has gone! Ka Lui remained a big supporter to TPS gathering that she brought not only her better-half but also some old books & pictures for sharing. The climax of the evening was from Nainai who circulated his TPS result reports plus the memory book on which all classmates wrote encouraging words before leaving TPS in 1964. It was a wonderful memory on how we did it in those days and it was great to find how creative we were in dreaming up funny words to differentiate from each others; they were all big treasures and should be kept in museum. At the same time, Nainai brought our focus again to the lasting forever poem written by Lin Yun Mui to Koon Tai expressing the parting pains & the lingering passions. All of us regarded the poem a great masterpiece in the 60's! Stephen will put it on the blog to share with you later.

I attached two photoes of the gathering and you will find more pictures on the blog later. By the way, we are organizing a 5 days trip to Huang Shan China mid Oct to achieve another breakthrough re-union in the spectacular high mountains. Hope to see more TPS folks joining the coming big event..

Have a nice day
Tin Sung

July 27, 2007 Gathering (Raymond's message with more photos)

It was an emotional gathering so soon after Lee Lung San's funeral. It's so nice to meet so many friends again,especially the girls (Mak Siu Ling, Yuen Hong (black pearl), Yeung Ka Lui) whom I meet for the very first time in 40 years, also our honourable chairman Kai Ming who took time off from his busy schedule to attend our gathering.

Thanks to Nainai and our drinkeat expert On Chai to make the gathering possible, and the wine provided by On Chai made it a night to remember. ( I think we had a bottle of wine for each dish) My special thanks to everyone attending for contribute for my free dinner, (for those of you living aboard ( Joe take note), you only have to make your way to Hk, there is no need to worry about paying) Thanks also to Ka Koo and Timothy who gave me a lift home that night, (they must be worried that I might got lost)
Some of the photos were taken by two very professional young ladies (Su Wah's beautiful daughters)

regards
Raymond

July 27, 2007 Gathering (the Grand Finale)

July 27, 2007 Gathering (more photos)

July 27, 2007 Gathering

Dear TPS Folks ,

We did have a very good time in our gathering last Saturaday despite the hot summer day. The horrible climate heat could never be the hurdles blocking our desire for re-union. There were a high number of 16 classmates & familiy members joining the event and most rewading of all, we had four pretty ladies sharing the funs & daugthers together.

We started with our tour to TPS and most lucky this time, we were able to get into the school premises. The 6A classroom, headmaster's office, rear gardens, the long corridor & staircase, the " little eat " outlet, the assembly hall where I performed Beatles' song (P.S. I love you) together with Funkai, Timothy & Mak Hong Sing during graduation ceremony day..............all these put us back to our innocent & treasurable childhood; we were all obsessed & drown in sweet memory recall. The much stronger red cotton tree and the not much changed setting in Chun Fai Yuen further added to our nostalgic fantasy.

The summer breeze together with a spectacular view of Pak Sin Ling and Plover Cove during sunset welcomed us to San Mun Tsai seafod resturant where we enjoyed the delicious menu organized by our drinkeat expert Stephen ( On Chai ). The food was wonderful and the wine excellent--- they were sponsored by Stephen as usual. It was great that Connie ( Yuen Hong ) and Mak Siu Ling joined us this time and we gave them an important mission of pushing more female classmates to attend our activities. We have great confidence that they will achieve the mission. Connie, with tons of sweetness at heart, was busy to share with us the wedding photoes of her beloved daugther; what an admirable mother ! The dinner was ended with a special desert, home grown Dragon Eye fruits brought by Ka Lui; they were indeed very very delicious. We all wanted to eat more and she promised to let us to pick them freely at her garden but sorry, next summer. Better wait, folks !

Our gathering was extremely enjoyable and I am sure those who did not join would miss it. No problem, the coming one is on Aug 26 and please mark your diary. Remember, your participation will always make a difference ! Please enjoy the attached pictures of our gathering last Saturaday.

Kind regards
Tomson

Lee Lung San 4

Hi Pak,

Time goes fast and our old machine releases problems till it stops someday sometime? Li and Yeung ka Lui both lived around Nam Hang, Li Man Wan lived at Tai Po Kau, So Li and Yeung may be a good friend at that time, Yuen we called her Black Pearl unfortunately no boys discovered her advantage. No doubt, we did a lot of ridiculous things when we were young and it is a good topic can be talked within thousand years. Wish all of us will be lived happier in the rest of our life! When shall we have a friendly badminton match?

Kai Ming

Lee Lung San 3

The name of the boy is Kwok Kam Hung , Ah Ngo. They both live in Nam Hang, Fung Yuen, we went there to pick all kind of fruit in the summer.

Lung Tsai was caught and detained by OLD FIREWOOD in Taipo Railway Station for shooting Lightbulbs at the KCR lamp post.

Nainai

Lee Lung San 2

Pak Suen

Yes, that was the Lung Tsai you vividly described. He lived in Nam Hang and used to go to school with another classmate whose name I forgot.

What I still remember was the incident in which he was detained by the supervisor of the Tai Po train station. Jumping on and off of the slow-moving train leaving the station was an exciting and fun activity before our tutorial class. He was caught once and was tied to the chair in the station office as a kind of punishment.

He was at Lau Oi Mei’s funeral sitting next to me. He talked quite a lot about his medical treatment and I had the impression that he was recovering well. As you said, our quiet boy Lung Tsai had become talkative.

We will be having dinner with Raymond this Saturday. Pik Har is coming back next month. Do you have any plan of seeing us here?

Stephen Tang

Lee Lung San 1

Dear all,

I was very sorry to hear the sad news.

Lee Lung San was the tall slim boy who sat at the back of classroom, 3A and maybe 4A as well? May be Hark-Ka origin, he had sparkling eyes and dark skin. He lived in some remoted village, Kum Shan Village? He was quiet, I don't recall ever having conversation with him when we were in primary school. I did run into him once in the late 60's or early 70's in Tai Po Market, in the street. We exchanged short update and I knew he worked as policeman or in the related area. He was one of those who still live in Tai Po or New Territory when growing up.

Then, in the recent 10 years, he showed up in the Tai Po Villa BBQ gathering, was not so slim, talked a lot more, his occupation, his family and his pass time. I was thinking the boy outgrew his shyness and we, no longer primary schoolmates, started our casual conversation like the neighbours in the villages. He also showed up in one or two of the our schoolmates dinner gathering. He did not talk as much as the other noise-making boys, he did join the conversation.

He should have conversed well with his family on earth and would know to converse with god in peace.

Suen Pak Ping.

紅棉樹

Dear Stephen.

I have visited TPS on the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year, which is just 2 weeks before with my family members, but the cotton tree is not with flowers so beautiful at that time. So maybe, eat have time, sleep have time, and cotton tree blossoms also have time. I suggest anybody can spare the time, should bring his/her family, parents, kids, ..., on a day with some sunshine, and the cotton tree will show to you her beautiness. Time is an essential factor.

When we were small, we knew that it is a nice place. Now, we have grown up, and found that it is really a nice place. It is so quiet, so beautiful, like the Giant's Garden opened for the kids to play in it.

This cotton tree, is more than a cotton tree. It embraces TPS, be the home of the many birds, and also breeds the squirrels. I cannot say you can't find it in other place, but I can say this is a special one.

Ralph

紅棉樹

The pictures are taken today. The cotton tree blossoms. It is Spring Time.
Cotton flowers filled the tree. Squirrels come out to play. Birds (Crested Bulbul高雞冠) with crown on its head flying through the twigs & flowers of the cotton tree. I believe there should be over a hundred birds in the tree. If you could take a very close look into the pictures, maybe you can find it. There are many baby birds.

Ralph

------------

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for the good pictures with never ending memory, the first time I saw the local squirels was at the MK KCR station, this is the second time I saw it at our monther school, they are busy to consume the honey from the flowers and playing the soldier and thief game. However, the hero tree has watched our school life and still very strong. WIsh all of the TPS folks as strong as this tree.

Fanling Train Station

Yes, it was Fanling station and it takes me some old memory, I caught the locomotive train to the school everyday. The monthly ticket costed $3 which more than the school fee $1. One thing strange the small hill at the top left corner should not be there.

In remembrance of Lau Oi Mei by Yuen Hong Ying

唏!各位同學們!
讀畢孫北平和鄧永安的文章,不勝唏噓,感觸良多!

後山尋童夢　
前園憶故人
春秋數十載
唏噓話當年

請勿忘星期三的約會!

In remembrance of Lau Oi Mei by Tang Wing On

讀孫北平和楊家旅懷念劉愛美的文章，腦海中浮現多少當年的片斷﹔也彷彿聽到昔日同學在球場、在後山、在春暉園的嘻笑聲和叫罵聲﹔那怕是氣窗上的小鳥，或是飄進來的木棉絮，都會引起一陣子撓攘，為嚴肅的課堂帶來一點點歡樂，這些都成為今天美好的回憶。

當讀到’高歌一曲友誼萬歲’一句時，不覺黯然，除了友誼萬歲，空氣中或許還有蘇格蘭的藍鐘花的歌聲﹔這個夏天，當劉愛美看見木棉飛絮時，她也會感覺到我們對她的思念。

運頭塘泮尋倩影 春暉園裡憶故人

星期三見。

In remembrance of Lau Oi Mei by Yeung Ka Lui

悼劉愛美同學 （逝於二零零六年十二月三十日）

淑媛其逝 天意奈何
同窗數載 此念永存

此四句為鄧永安同學為悼念愛美同學而撰，意簡情長，多少無奈﹔李思進說得好，我們應多些相聚，免得欲聚而人已散，徒留思念，時光不能倒流也！

自收到愛美去世的消息，心中慼然難捨，近來常發作的失憶症似乎好轉了。童年時生活的片斷絲絲縷縷的回轉在心頭，愛美和我是頂投契的，女兒家在一起玩耍，說話可多呢！課堂上座位由老師編排，但幾年來總是和愛美坐得近，總是左隣右里的。曾經有一次我們竟在堂上老師背後互相傳字條，為的是氣窗上一隻小鳥兒！

愛美對花草植物的認識是頭頭是道的，那時我們有農務課，常在校園忙著忙著，有一次她翻開一片葉子，葉背面那密密麻麻的蟲卵使我心中發毛，她神秘地說要小心留意附近有很厲害的毛毛蟲，果然不久，有人中招，得了個全身痕癢。

還記得有一次放學後，愛美帶我到她家的果園去。那兒有不少果樹，最深印象的是那幾棵掛滿「綠色小星星」的楊桃樹，愛美選了隻帶黃的給我嚐，噢！酸得不得了，劉伯母說道早熟的楊桃不甜，中秋時節那才好呢！噢！明白了，怪不得中秋節有楊桃燈籠。

我倆也曾在黃皮樹上當了哥，那黃皮的味道此時此刻都令我口中充滿口水。愛美，告訴妳，我也在園子種了棵黃皮，當然是「雞心」黃皮！

愛美，這年來妳飽受病魔的困擾，勇敢地接受一次又一次的痛苦化療，今天妳先到了天間樂土，願我們他日天上相聚，一起重溫兒時的頑皮！

別了，老友！且讓我們再高歌一曲友誼萬歲，今日依依分手，亦是無可奈何也！

妳的老友楊家旅草

In remembrance of Lau Oi Mei by Pak Shuen

I remembered vividly the few events with Lau Oi May. One time, at PE time, towards the end of the school session, a group of us were playing the basket ball, others were leaving the playground heading to those big steps platform beneath the grand Wooden-cotton tree. Lau Oi May stepped on the ball comming from behind and felt. She lay unconciously on the yellowish sand ground with us crowding around and looking at her. We were all very scared, maybe the then PE teacher were scared too (Mr. Chong ?). He sent us away and carried her up and ... I don't remember if the ambulance came then. That image of her with eyes half-closed did come back to me from time to time.

The other time, Au Wing Yee took me to Lau Oi Mei's home, maybe also with Au Fan Kai or the younger brother of Au(?). Au seemed knowing Lau and the familly very well. Maybe Au Wing Yee's elder brothers were schooling with Lau Oi Mei's brothers? It was near the Sing Ming school, big mension, spacious palor, huge garden, lots of fruit trees: Lai-chi, Dragon-eye, Yeung-tao, Pay-pa and Pun-paul. There were also flowers. We took off our heavy plastic sandles and flew them up to the top of the trees. The fruits would then fall with the broken branches. Fresh and delicious! We were all having fun and joy. That was an unforgetable afternoon. Lau invited us to come again. I might have met Lai Oi May's brother and sister that day or the other day. They were older than Lau. Lau and her sister look very much alike. Though Lau Oi May appeared much mature (to me and Au) she is the youngest (?) at home. She was generous and polite, this shows at her tiny age.

I didn't have much contact with Lau after primary school. It was 2003 (?) at our TPS alumli BBQ in the Tai Po Villa, Lau Oi May showed up. She did not age, looked younger than the thirteen years old girl in my memory, good looking with the same straight hair style, still pale. She talked as little and as much as she was at the primary school then. She mentioned briefly not being in excellent shape.

I would not expect to learn about her and talk about her this way. The little girl who once lightened up the other little girl's day is always there. She must have lightened up whom she loves and who loved her along the journey.

Update from Joe Cheung

Stephen

Summer in Vancouver is always too short. I spent a few days camping with my kids and their friends. Didn't do much fishing, just sit back and relax. Suddenly realised that they are not kids anymore. They are 28, 26, and 20 now. For the rest of the summer is pretty much the same as usual except I enjoy playing soccer under the sun than in the cold wet winter days. Hunting season will not start until late September. I am not a down-to-earth hunter, what I really enjoy is not the kill, bagging a game is just a bonous. I actually love to feel the quietness of the deep wood, chilling wind brings along the refreshing smell of pine and spruse. Low clouds hang around the mountain side that you could actually walk over them. What a feeling when you wake up in the morning and stick your nose out of the tent to start a new day. After a cup of hot coffee, get your gear, hike up the trail, without knowing what might come up in front of you. That is the beauty of hunting.

Regularly, I 'll spend an hour or so on the computer every evening , so as
to watch you guys exchanging messages in the web. I love it, I just love it.
How is your summer? Having lot of fun?
Please say hello for me to everybody and keep in touch.

Joe
