Chachacha and more

Happy Chinese New Year! We have quite a few things to report and announce in this new Year of the Rabbit....

1. Fourteen of our classmates and family members in Hong Kong have just taken a memorable Year of the Rabbit hiking and exploration trip to remote fishing village Tai O on Lantau Island last Saturday, February 5, 2011.

Blessed with warm weather and almost perfectly clear sky, we walked from Tung Chung to Tai O past old villages, met friendly villagers, storekeepers, fellow hikers and cyclists along the way, bumped into too many local tourists in Tai O, but we also had many interesting local snacks, snapped many pictures, bought more shrimp paste than we would ever consume, saw the beautiful sunset, and had a sumptuous meal before we lined up for the bus to get back to town. Here are a few photos for those who weren’t in Hong Kong or who weren’t able to join in. (More trip photos have been posted on Facebook.)


At dinner, we said we’ll make it a tradition for the class to have an annual Chinese New Year hike in Hong Kong, and planned on having another hike up Wutongshan in Shenzhen and a trip to Guangzhou in the coming months.

2. A week before our Lantau trip, we met Grace Chung Chin Man for a dinner reunion. She was visiting us from Sydney.

3. We would also like to report the happy news that Wong Harting has just got married in January 2011. Congratulations, Harting! As a professional ballroom dancing teacher, Harting is offering a new dance class for all SPCC73 classmates in Hong Kong in February and March, 2011. The best part is that it’ll be all free for SPCC73 classmates. Details from Harting as follows:

4. We have received an update on our Hope School Project in Chongqing, China. According to Mr Chen Shuangyi, Headmaster of Shiling Primary School which will be relocated to a new site in our project, the site formation work at the new school site has been completed.

SPCC73 Hope School project site

The construction will begin after the Chinese New Year holidays in mid-February, 2011. The scheduled completion date of the school building is August 2011 and the school will be commissioned and opened for use in September 2011. Our class will plan on a school opening trip in the fall of 2011, and may also plan an interim trip in late spring or early summer. Stay tuned for more specific announcements.

5. Au Pui Keung Andy has posted a blog most recently on his insights on mission and vision, and made special references to our SPCC Class of 1973 and our Hope School Project in China.
