Vancouver Visit June 28, 2009

Dear All,

I've gone through 2 security and document checks at Vancouver, one at the airport and the other at Delicious Cousine where our meeting took place. Both passed without a scare.

Happy is an understatement to describe my feelings to see Stanely and Wing Yee after all these years. After the initial hesitation, ice starting to melt and we settle down for a nice chat and delicious dinner. I will have a problem to respond if you ask me how was the food as I really did not pay enough attention to the meat and fish that Wing Yee ordered. I was too excited to notice and there's a big possiblity that I might had swallowed a fish bone or two.

After the dinner, Stanely was nice enough to invite us to his newly remodel home for coffee and Joe Cheung was being summoned to join us after his soccer game. As we were waiting for Joe, Stanely impressed all of us by his amazing memory. He recalls all the details as names were thrown at him. He even remember the name of my childhood sweetheart and the fact that I lived somewhere in 廣福道.

Joe finally show up and was discovered that my St.Joseph classmate played soccer with him in the over 50 years old league. I have to thank Joe for giving me a ride home later that night. We took some pictures and were attached here and Stephen mostlikely will post them on our blog. I enjoy every single minute of this Vancouver gathering and looking forward to meet more TPS classmates come September in Hong Kong.

Dear Alex

Thank you for coming all the way from LA to our mini TPS reunion at Vancouver.

It was so nice to see someone who has disappeared for over 40 years and suddenly emerged in front of you especially someone of your size.

Your second document check at the restaurant did ease off our classmates' doubt in a way. You produced a transcript from TPS issued when you moved out to St. Joeph.

For all classmates info, Alex was in 3B, 4B and 5A and the teachers were Mr. Yeung Yuen-ning, Mrs Chung Wong Wan-wah, and Mr Cigarette- Ash CHAN. Alex, please scan this transcript to our TPS Blog at your earliest convenience.

We shall see each other again in early September in HK.

Regards

Stanley

Lunch at Sai Kung and Visit to Mr. Ma's House, Oct 28, 2007

Dear TPS folks,

We have had again a wonderful gathering yesterday in Sai Kung and enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch. As usual, our drinkeat expert, Stephen selected the best menu which nobody could challenge. Coupled with three bottles of top class wine brought by him, the meal was indeed a crusine which nobody should miss.

This time, we had the honour of Mr.Ma to join us and he shared most of his valuable impression on each of us dated back 1964. It was most encouraging to learn from him that the operation in his eyes some months ago turned out a big success and most eye-sight recovered; we all feel relieved.

Following the good practice in our last gathering, Woon Yee brought along her graduation memory book to share with us. We all found it so treasurable and memorable; just some simple & innocent words on the book mean a lot of deep friendship. It is amazing that some classmates still keep these memory books and hope to see another volunteer in our next gathering. Stephen promised to scan them and put on our blog.

After the good meal, Mr.Ma invited us to his home and what a big honour for us! Perhaps this was the first time that Mr Ma 's home was intruded by so many guests and Mrs Ma was so kind & nice to welcome us; we deeply appreciated her great hospitality. After the visit to Mr Ma 's apartment and seeing all sorts of great works invented & done by Mr Ma himself on its decoration, we all felt ashamed that our energy & creativity level were by far lower. better catch up folks!

Attached some pictures taken during our lunch and in Mr. Ma 's apartment; please enjoy.

Kind regards

July 27, 2007 Gathering (the Grand Finale)

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
