Message from the Chair –May Ho, F5A (1967) |
December 22, 2008 | ||||
Dear BHJS friends:
Winter Solstice has just arrived and another year has quickly gone by . 2008 was an exciting and challenging year globally. We had the excitement of China hosted the Olympics in August, after battling natural disasters in the spring. Then, as the global economic downturn is taking shape, we see a portion of our net worth shrinking. They say, “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”,. Let’s stand strong and be thankful that we still have our family, friends and health.
On behalf of all the EXCO members of the BHJS Canada Alumni, we wish you a very happy and safe
holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2009.
We hope to see many of you at the AGM because we are planning a really fun filled evening for you. Save the date – March 21, 2009 – on your calendar.

Trail walking & karaoke (秋高氣爽共遊唱)
| MY FIRST HIKING EXPERIENCE WITH THE TORONTO BHJS-ERS | ||||||
written by our teacher Mr. Wong Hin-Shing |
||||||
Date: Sep 4 Just received email from May Ho about the Oct 4 hiking: |
||||||
Date: Oct 4 9:30 am: Just checked everything before I leave home. Have my ear muff and gloves with me. The weather is getting a bit warm, so I’m not wearing my winter clothing, just a long-sleeve sweater. 9:45 am: Just arrived at the entrance to the park. Not too sure where we’re supposed to meet. I’ll try the first parking lot on the right side. 9:50 am: Not the right place. I’m moving out again … 9:55 am: There’s another parking space on the left side. There’s a group of people waiting. I’m driving in… 10:05 am: No familiar faces. Must be the wrong place. I’m going to phone Christina…. 10:07 am: Just learned from her that everyone except me has arrived at the meeting place and has been waiting for me. I still don’t know exactly where to meet them but I’m driving again… Wait, someone is approaching me… 10:10 am: It turns out that Tang Yiu-Ming (’64) has been waiting for the last half hour. He also thought this is our meeting place. We’re still not sure where to meet, but decide to take our cars and continue driving north. 10:15 am: We’ve come to the parking lot near where the horses are stationed, but there’s no one in sight. Yiu-Ming phones Christina again. We’re told that Chi-Chiu may be driving to meet us if we turn back. 10:18 am: We finally spot Chi-Chiu. He turns around and we follow his car. The parking lot where we’re supposed to meet is on the right side of the road. Everyone cheers. We’re almost twenty minutes late and I apologize for being late. Anyway, I’m forgiven and everyone is happy and we take a group photo, with Christie (May’s daughter) taking the picture. 
From left:
10:30 am: So we begin our hiking. The classmates are very solicitous. They give me bottled water and make sure I’m warm enough for the walk, as the early morning weather is still a bit on the cool side. We walk in groups. In fact, I’m with the last bunch including Yiu-Ming, Alice, Clement and Albert. 10:45 am: It’s a great morning for walking – with lots of fresh air. The surrounding is beautiful, and we have very good company. I let Yiu-Ming, Clement and Albert do most of the talking. They’re more or less retired and enjoy outdoor life. 10:55 am: The ladies are way behind, so we have to stop from time to time and wait for them to catch up. There are other fellow hikers besides us. There are also many who ride bicycles. Occasionally, we hear bicyclists shouting: “Be careful!” Several times some bicyclists yell at us rudely: “Keep to the right, you guys! Jesus! Don’t you know you should walk only on the right side?” We try our best to remember walking on the right side afterwards. (I learned more about walking on the “right” side later.) 11:05 am: We pass the only public restroom on the road. On the outside it looks very clean. 11:10 am: Hm! The place looks familiar! I see now that on several occasions, I’ve parked my car near this area for my afternoon sunbathing. We have indeed come to the end of the road. Looking further, I can see the driveway leading to Thorncliffe Park Drive where I live. Some of us walk around the park. Some take pictures. Someone mentions maybe we should all visit my apartment. I’m wise enough not to answer… Here are some photos:
The tall white building is rented to people like us. I believe this is the one at 65 Thorncliffe.
We’re discussing whether we should be heading back.
Beautiful ladies all smiling.
11:25 am: We’ve come to a shelter. Christina says: “Gee! It’s a nice shelter. Perhaps another time we can have barbeques here. We won’t be afraid of rain then.” Someone mentions something about carrying food and heavy stuff, and the girls all say: “The men will take care of that!”
We’ll need a permit for the shelter. (Note: photo taken afterwards.)
It’s really a nice shelter for BBQs. (Note: photo afterwards.) 11:35 am: More rude shouting from bicyclists because we’re on the “wrong” side of the road. 11:45 am: Somehow we get to the topic of Ms Ng Tsui-King. I ask if anyone knows how she’s doing since last year. Kwok-Ying mentions that Ms Ng was travelling with some BHJS-ers in China last year. She wasn’t feeling well at one of the outings. The next day she flew back to the States and was staying at her son’s home. We’re all concerned and hope Ms Ng is feeling better now. 11: 55 am: I mention I have arthritis pain nowadays. Rosita says: “Try glucosamine.” Another says: “You can buy them cheap at Costco.” 12:05 noon: We’re finally back to where we started earlier. Everyone is happy. Everyone says how great I am at walking, that I can walk much faster than they without being tired. (That’s what you think!) More photos are taken before we leave for lunch.
A departing photo before we get into our cars and head for our restaurant.
Date: Oct 8 For the last few days, my muscles have been aching. Perhaps too much walking for me on Oct 4.
Date: Oct 16 My elder brother and I revisit E.T. Seton Park. Here’s what we discover:
Bicyclists should defer to pedestrians, not the other way around. But I won’t argue with them!

2008年多倫多銀禧校友會春節聚餐花絮
正所謂：離校聚散數十載
一年一度「銀」歸來
校友會今年的新春聚餐姍姍來遲，卻也因為避了繁忙的農歷新年喜慶，酒樓大方地供應了寬敞的場地。舉行日期雖接近學校的春假和復活節，仍有七十多師長校友和家眷出席，會場氣氛為歷年之冠。一年一度「銀禧友」能聚首一堂 ，尤其有離校數十年而未嘗一見者，實難能可貴也。張國英（1967）和梁志超（(1973) 兩執委特地穿起毋校夏季藍白校服於接待處相迎，牛津道2C的影像即時重現。兩位超齡「學生」竟也純真可愛，怎也說不上造物可會弄人吧！
68年畢業校友分享：歲月流逝莫惆悵
往昔逸事共甘嘗
今年適逢1968中五畢業校友四十周年，是晚有該屆之Anselm霍乃材，Helen蕭桂芳，Antonio黃炯昌和Phyllis黃惠瑜四人分享。雖離校多年，然而透過他們的憶述，趣聞逸事仿如發生於昨天。在座一眾師長，聽著也必有一番感受。他們當晚的錄影短片，可在校友會的網頁隨意觀賞。
王顯誠老師分享：亦師亦友珍而重
片斷回憶顯情濃
王老師一直是本校友會忠實支持者。當晚他特地製作一輯懷舊照片，把珍藏之「銀禧師生活」（是老師和學生的活動，並非私人生活），公諸同好。他與學生之交情，由此可見。
校友愛心工作：非以役人乃校訓
乃役於人樂遵行
銀禧校友不乏具愛心者，除了有多位作關顧人靈魂需要的牧者外，也有在慈惠機構服事的。在世界宣明會擔任華人事工推廣的錢庸潔（1970）校友，今年或許因忙於賑濟中國的雪災工作而未刻出席，卻喜見Hilda周詠琪（1986）首次參加年會聚餐。在螢光幕前出色地報導電視新聞的她，原來已轉到一護老院工作。怪不得在電視多年見到熟識而親切的面孔驟然失蹤，頤康的公公婆婆有福了。
歡樂遊戲：獨樂不如眾同樂
共創成積博一博
今年遊戲節目豐富，以迷你bingo揭開序幕，一輪的緊張帶來多位得獎者的笑容。然後是以每檯為參賽單位比賽的看圖猜字過程至為緊張。結果有兩檯校友猜得同一分數，需要繼續以猜燈謎分出勝負。勝出的一檯雖有執委校友同檯參與，但他事前對答案真的是一無所知。公平公正，我們做得到！
卡拉OK助慶：梅君妙玲歌聲美
羊口二十榮難比
歌舞皆能的校友比比皆是，兩陳踫頭必然卡拉OK，聽出耳油。近年流行懷舊，遠年金曲「蘇州河畔」可有把在座各人帶回初戀的浪漫裏？美中不足的是對唱這首男女情歌，實在欠缺了真情的配合，還待下年努力吧！
朗誦銀禧生涯：學子生涯眾生相
平庸尖子優劣良
會長何潔美將他們1967一屆於去年在香港舉行之四十重聚中朗誦之詩詞，稍加更改，以嬉笑怒罵形式由全體校友會執行委員齊聲誦出，雖或有些搞笑，卻慨括了一眾校友在銀禧這大家庭內的學生百態。噫！指名道姓，對號入座。讚也好，貶也好，俱往已。人生各自精彩，能有機會相聚一起，繼續互勉吧！
趙善榮（1965）
