As you may see in recent emails, Ralph happened to meet a long lost contact classmate, Kitty Tung Kit Man, and we have, before the time passed, had a gathering on 24-01-2013. We did not have many present in this dinner party as this is a bit rush. Place is not important as time of gathering is too close, and food is also not important, as what we are concerned is a long long time friendship. We have Nai Nai, Sau Wah, Kit Man, Kai Ming, Tomson & Ralph.
NaiNai started to say that in last time
gathering with June & Godfrey, he had been asking if can find Kitty or not.
His dream soon came true, seemed like miracle. We told Kitty that we have been
connected together with the Group Email link. And our TPS blog showed our
passed gatherings, as well as searching our lost contacted classmates. Ralph
said that as a custom, not every classmate did the postings in the emails, some
would like to post a little bit more, and some less. Some postings came from
overseas just like from your neighbour.
Tomson this time brought with him an ipad.
He had put the old photos of our TPS
gatherings, starting from the classroom days, through our secondary school days
to recent years so that everyone can have a better memory of the old days, even
with clips of the "紀念冊" kept by NaiNai. Do you
still remember what you have written to NaiNai? Some pictures showed many of us
joining picnics when we were about P6.
Some pictures showed many of us joining picnics in our teenages. Some pictures
showing our old school with the cotton tree. But now the cotton tree in the
playground was gone, the school also moved to Tai Wo. And we had a 60 years
anniversary dinner there some years ago to celebrate TPS.
Kit Man said she has moved to Australia and
first time came back to Hong Kong in the 17 years. She & her husband came
back to visit the relatives. In fact they had another dinner party that night,
and she decided to split the functions and joined this union with us. Kit Man
is still serving the society as a teacher. In leisure time will travel here
& there in Australia, and quite settled & accustomed to the life in
Sydney. This time came back seemed like a visitor travelling here &
there, and found that Hong Kong changed a lot since she left. She said that it
was such a short time they made the decision to move to Australia, just like
all of a sudden. Same sudden happened when Ralph met Kitty in the restaurant,
both passed by, such familiar face, but without the courage to say Hello to
Kitty at that very moment. A thought came out if she is Kit Man or not. Kitty
already came back to her table, with 3 other persons talking to each
other. Time is lapsing, still wondering go or not go. With this wondering condition,
Ralph went forward for an interruption……. Thanks God, no mistake.
We told Kitty that with the members now
sitting in the table, half is already retired. Some of us got the insurance in
UK, but in fact never did the move. Some stayed in other countries like US, UK,
Canada. Sau Wah had been staying in Australia for quite many years and came
back to Hong Kong. Kai Ming last year needed to have meeting in Zurich of
Switzerland, and took the chance to travel to France and met Pak Suen in Paris
under the Tour Eiffel. Ralph told Kitty that Kai Ming is the Member of Labour Union of Cathay Pacifics (CX), and if he says no, the
aircrafts will stop flying. Of course Kitty knew this was a joke.
Now is 2013. Next year is 2014, 50 years
since we graduated from TPS. Is it possible for us to have another gathering to
see more familiar faces?
Cheers
Ralph
