Update from Joe Cheung

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.

It was indeed a masterpiece of On Chai that he created this Blog, a very fashionable thing nowadays that makes access to information and mass communication much easier. I hope this could serve as an effective information centre or library for all TPS 64 brothers & sisters to capture the past, present and the future. Learning to use the Blog also makes us feel young and not outdated. Well done, Stephen !

August 11 Dinner

Below is taken out from an email message from Tomson:

Dear TPS Folks,

We have had a great dinner gathering this evening with the honorable presence of both Mr. Ma & Mr. Yeung. We were glad to see them young and healthy as if they were two of our classmates. The waitress of the resturant even thought one of us as the old teacher or headmaster rather than Mr Ma & Yeung. Guess who was the lucky guy ?

We enjoyed the precious moments again in recalling the good old days in TPS and there were always ever ending stories to tell. I was astounded by the superb memories of Nainai, Kwun Dai, Ka Koo, Mice and certainly both beloved teachers; they remembered every exact detail of happenings forty years ago. All in all, it was a treasurable re-union that nobody should miss. Dear friends, do join TPS 1964 gathering as much as you can !

Another big reward we got this evening was that Mr. Ma brought along an old photo on some of our TPS teachers taken in 1963. Now we have a good challenge to check your ability; see how many names you could tell. The answer will be posted later. Try your best !

Kind regards
Tin Sung

老照片 (Our Beloved Teachers)

This is an old photo shown to us by Mr. Ma in the dinner on August 11, 2006 in Shatin. It was taken in a teacher-only picnic in 1963 at Hong Lok Yuen. We had a hard time figuring out the names of some of the teachers in the photo.
