Dinner with Prof Kwan and his son Sam on June 8, 2012

Dear TPS Folks ,

I just had a holiday trip to Canada with my wife for 2 weeks after my retirement and was much honored to have met some TPS classmates there: Pik Ha & husband (Alwin), Alex, Kwun Yan, Kwok Fai and Fun Kai in Toronto; Wing Yee & Husband (Joe) and Man Tak in Vancouver. I was so glad to find them all healthy, young & handsome and was also extremely excited because for some of them, I did not see each other for almost half of a century! This was indeed a very valuable gathering for me!

Our heartfelt thanks to the superb hospitality from TPS friends in Canada: inviting us to very nice meals plus excursion in Vancouver (indebted to Man Tak for his hard efforts of long distance driving)! Despite the short gathering for only 2 days, we were all overwhelmed in recalling the good old days and those naughty things done in our childhood, ranging from putting nails & coins on the railway, jumping train, catching warrior spiders, steeling sweet potatoes and all sorts of other mischief; we were completely obsessed in nostalgia complex. Anyway, this was how we grew up; we had very simple life as kids but we reaped incredible amount of happiness & satisfaction which we are always proud of.

Attached please find some snapshots of our gathering. TPS friends in Canada are keen to welcome our visit from time to time and let’s hope we could have re-union both in Canada and HK occasionally. By the way, in this visit, I found out 2 more classmates with super memory power who can recall many exact details of our TPS life: Fun Kai and Man Tak, in addition to our memory power champion, Nainai. I really admire them !

Kind Regards
Tomson

Dear All:

As some of you may know that I came to Toronto last week to attend my niece's wedding. It was a very nice and joyful event. On Sunday (6/27), I was so pleased to have lunch with June and her husband Alwin, Au Fun Kai now named Au Kai, Wong Kwok Fai, Chan Chun Shun, Harold Kwok and Lau Kwok Tai (Shark Wing's brother PM class) at the local country club through the kind arrangement of Milky Boy (Harold). It was another joyful time for me. I believe we will see the pictures in due course.

After the lunch four of us (Au, Kwok, Lau and myself) went up north to visit Vincent Lam (another PM class) who was my closed classmate at University of Toronto. He was a chemist and has been retired 4 years ago after receiving two years bonus payment for his early retirement when his company was taken over by Johnson & Johnson. His house is nice and peaceful with a beautiful garden at the front yard and a river at the backyard with a boat mooring there. He told us he can easily catch bass at his backyard or take the boat flows to Lake Simcoe if he wants to catch bigger ones. In his workshop he also shows us the tools for ice fishing together with a snowmobile. He told us his route for the day is in the morning he will spend some times to review his investment portfolio through the Internet hoping to make his Dim Sum money for his week-end trip to the Chinese restaurant. Thereafter, he goes fishing or gardening, what a peaceful life!! Milky Boy told him he is really looking forward to the ice fishing and riding the snowmobile in the coming winter.

Reporting from Toronto and with my warmest regards to you all.

I had a great time with the boys on the 31st of January, especially meeting with Alvin, Kakoo and Tang Chi for the very first time. Hopefully we can do the same come May when I visit again.

Pik Ha and the Panda

Dear Ralph,

Thanks very much for your fast and vivid report on our X'mas lunch gathering. As I'm not a net person, I have to ask my better half to attach two pictures for me to supplement the story. Being a great lover of the giant panda, I was doing a one-week internship at Chengdu Panda Base in Jun 2009 with my daughter who studies medicine in HK. Some of you may have known the historic and scenic spots in the area well.

Regards
Pik Ha

Lunch on Dec 27, 2009 with Pik Ha

It was another rejoicing gathering in Lei Garden restauraunt-Shatin on 27 Dec 2009. June(Kan P.H.) came back Hong Kong with her beloved Alwin Wu. NaiNai, Mice, Sau Wah & me happened to have the younger generations present as well together with us.

We are very glad to see June came back as we missed her long time. June showed us an album with descriptions here & there explaining the pictures. The pictures are of our China's Treasures- the Pandas. June's family has spent lots of efforts in dealing with the pandas and finally a book is made for them. Alwin also told us something about the Panda which we in our normal life will not notice, but that relates very much to the continuation of the species of Panda ever exist again.

Sau Wah reported that Marrow (Mak H S) cannot come because it is difficult for him to sit.
We all showed our concern on him, and June suggested that Marrow may need a thorough checking in order to establish a better treatment. Benjamin (Mice' eldest son) told us some knowledge on how to cure vital diseases in this medical information overflow environment, yet the Nobel winners are still staying at the stage of knowing how to cure, and not yet really done. The medical issues seemed to be hot topic, and we turned around to H1N1, the Swine Flu. Alwin suggested that the second wave in Western World has completed, now waiting for the 3rd wave. But the second wave in Hong Kong has not yet come. Basically it must come. So it is suggested that the injection as a precautionary measure is important, though the maximum level of protection is only 90%(may not be 100%), and that it only has medical effect for 4 - 6 months, and then a second injection thereafter is also suggested.

As this is Christmas time, and we longed to see Santa Claus. This is our hope since we were nine or ten or even smaller. Not until today, Santa Claus really came to town. Ma Sir was so generous that he distributed gifts to all of us, without our knowing in earlier stage.
In fact Ma Sir has hinted that he was Santa Claus in our last gathering with Raymond that Sau Wah, Raymond & me were so lucky to have the gifts received in first hand from him.

We all enjoyed to have such a warm Christmas.

Email from Joe to Timothy -- I'LL BE BACK! (and reply from Kai Ming)

Yes, its really too long. 45 years ago when I left Taipo for Kowloon, I have not seen anyone of you except I pumped into Stanley in Vancouver in the 80s. That brought the chances of meeting w/ Au wing-yee, Lee ka-cheung, Tang wing-on and a few others.

It just like hitting the memory button recalling the images/memories of the good old days in TPS; math and English class with Mr. Ma, PT class with Mr.Wai hon-leung, woodwork class with Mr.Chung, Music class with Mr. Leung, the unique cotton tree, the dusty football field, the school building, and other activities such as school picnics, running like a mad ass during recess, throwing stones along the railway track, catching grasshopper on the hill behind the school building. That was the greatest moment of my childhood.

I surf the tps site everyday. I know, I admire and I envy every activity you guys had. That triggers my intention of joining the party. I don't know exactly when I'll be back, but one thing I'm certain: I'LL BE BACK, and give everybody a big hug.

Taking this opportunity, I wish everybody a merry Christams and a happy NEW YEAR.

Joe Cheung

Stephen,

I was lucky Headmaster Hsu carried me back to Fanling after the show since he was lived at Fanling too. That why I always respect him to take care the poor child like me. The military show was great at that time and think it was nothing special today. Different age with different thinking. I do remember the first hand made X/mas card I received from Alex when I took the P3. The friendship is priceless n is it possible for him to send me another hand made one after 49 years? We all just like the white head imperial female staff saying the history.
