Summer Holiday (year unknown)

Even after they finished TPS, these guys used to play basket ball at TPS sport ground during their summer holidays. At the far right is Ka Koo's brother, Yee Koo. The big red cotton tree, the natural symbol of our alma mater, is at the background.
On this piece of red-soil ground, we sweated and cheered for 4 memorable years.

Report from Ralph on the August 1, 2009 dinner at Lei Garden Restaurant, Wanchai

Dear All,

A brief report of the dinner on 1 Aug 2009.

I did not make any counting of the numbers, but the atmosphere was so happy that the room seemed to be filled up with people. It was really unexpected that nearly all the 2nd generations did come with the parents. Quite a number of photos were taken, and I don't know which should be sent into the group, so I make a decision to enclose all the photos, except a few which were of mal-quality. There were many ladies present, and many youngsters present. Will you please guess who is who?

The names (If I made mistakes in the spelling, excuse me, & please amend for me) of the 2nd generations are:-
Alki Lau, Brian Lam+ Lilly Lam, Hannah Tang, Janice Lam, Julia Li, Samuel Poon, Tammy Poon.

Timothy brought us some precious photos of our young days, while we were surprised to see that we were so lovely when we were young. Samuel brought with him a guitar, and we all sang together a song "Today". Timothy also played the guitar, with Koon Tai offered his first song to all of us. Believe it or not, Koon Tai's voice was very suitable for singing. Then Samuel sang a lovely song which was written by him. Was this the beginning of "Green comes out from Blue" ?

How many "Golden Flowers" were there? Who was the happiest one in the dinner? Who was the one laughed most heartily?

Please see the photos and the answer is there.

Dear All,

It seemed a very exciting wedding dinner, 19-7-2009 my son Brian's marriage with Lily. Nobody knows the weather is quite good before that day as the typhoon is imminent, and everybody is wondering whether the wedding party can go on or not. I believed many of you must have prayed for us, and we thanked very much for your prayers which God must have heard and directed the typhoon to ease the blowing. This made my son's wedding party more memorable, and I was accordingly titled "Lo Yei".

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the kind participation to all of you joining the dinner, to some of you who couldn't join the dinner, and should apologise that not all of TPS classmates were invited due to limited seats. We are terribly sorry that my wife and I could not spend good attention to all of you, though I would very much like to bring my wife, my son, my daughter and my now daughter-in-law to see you all before the dinner or during the dinner, and really regret that even the planned photo taking before the dinner was also interupted. They are now having their Honey Moon, and the photos of the night will then be ready after they come back, and I shall gladly let you share with me the joys of the happy moments captured. This is really an exciting moment to all of us and cannot imagine.

Looking forward to seeing you in next gatherings.

Kind regards


Ralph

Email from Joe

Thanks and lot of thanks for bringing the song as well as the sweet memories of the good old days in Taipo. To be honest with you guys, the day I had to move out to Kowloon with my family, I did shed a tear and left Kam Shan Village with red eyes. Red river valley was the song that reflects my sole feeling towards Taipo mkt and TPS. A quarter of a century later, god helped me by bumping into Nai'nai in Vancouver. We are now all connected again. It doesn't border me if Taipo had changed, the old school building had changed. Those good old days, beautiful scenes, happy times, and miserable moments just happen to be in a fast forwards mode going through my mind. They can't be washed away, by any means. Any more songs that we might have missed? Bring it up, please.

Stephen, I did not have the luxuary to go camping this summer as my kids are all working and couldn't arrange a longer holiday for camping together. But I did manage to spend a couple of days by the lake in the mountain. Fished for a little while, just to unwind myself. Hunting season will end in December. I am trying to steal a few days to go out there and try my luck.

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.
