粵語不是粵人古語而是中原夏朝的官方語言
廣東人喜歡看粵劇，首先就要知道粵劇的特點，就是以廣東話作為聲腔進行演出的。粵劇的源頭在於外江戲，這不是廣東本來自己土生土長的戲劇。更重要的是，廣東話也不是原始土著居民原來的語言，而是原來黃河流域夏朝的古老語言。到了今天，黃河流域已經不再流行這種語言了，已經成為失傳的語言。反而廣東保留了這種古老的語言，廣東話成為中國漢語的活化石。

漢語是漢人的語言，粵語卻不是粵人的語言。這話聽起來似乎有點荒唐，然而事實如此。
I have great news to tell. We won both the Open New Vogue and Standard in Masters 2: first time in a National championship: A double win!
You might remember that we won both styles in the New South Wales Open in August this year, but this time is different because of the prestige of the competition. There were 30 couples from all over Australia and New Zealand so it was tough competition. When I looked around my opposition, I found 4 past champions scattered in each style and in particular a three-time Australian champion in the Standard style who had beaten us consistently over our 10 year competition career.
香港同學非常好客, 繼又一村會所晚宴聚會後, 喺十一月卄六号於頂好酒家, 又來多一次午飯聚會, 剛好王蘇來港, 順路同佢洗塵. 今次劉漢銓及劉绍基亦有出席, 劉漢銓更帶了一枝真茅台和大家暢飲, 極之開心. 潘漢雄作了首詩如下, 以作紀念.
龍門擺陣未爭先 美酒茅台舊夢牽 海外香江欣聚首 同窗明日夕陽邊

The Wah Yan spirit has prevailed and triumphed! The Holy Grail turned out to be Masters 2 Open Standard.
Yes, this is the century for the Chinese and Chinese supremacy reigned tonight with the announcement of a new Masters 2 Open Standard champion couple in 2012, Philip and Magdalen Lee!
The rounds started 10:30 AM with 64 couples from all over Australia and New Zealand competing in this event and the Final was danced at 8:30 PM. It was a tiring day. So when our names were announced as the winning couple, we were over-the-moon to hear that it was us! Even now at 12:30 AM past midnight we relished in this great success and still find it totally unbelievable that we are now the new champions in the international standard style. We are now written into the history book of Australian Dancesport, the first ever Chinese couple to have won Masters 2 Open Standard.
Day 1 – Conference & Gala Dinner
The much anticipated reunion for the class of ’64 opened its curtain on October 1, 2012. Classmates from Hong Kong, the States and various provinces of Canada assembled in Toronto. We kicked off day 1 with the usual conference to determine on what we should do for the next one in 2014. Since it will be our 50th anniversary, decision on the venue was reached quickly -- Hong Kong. There would be a cruise program either from Hong Kong to Singapore or Hong Kong to Xiamen (厦門). Other activities were also discussed followed by lunch with spouses.
Our Gala Dinner was held at La Rosa (天寶閣) at 7 p.m. We had 51 people in all including an honourable guest - our beloved Ho sir. We mingled and laughed and for sure, putting that many 64ers together in one room, you could be sure of a riot, a riot of fun and joy.
In memory of Gregory Chow (周仁傑), a video was made using some photos of his and was presented at the Gala dinner. To watch the video, click here.

As some of you people may possibly be participating in a cruise to the Med. and Spain, and as I'm the only representative, I'd hazard a guess, of the class of '64 permanently living in a Spanish territory, I feel I ought to be saying hello to Philip Lee and anyone who may be taking part in the cruise being recommended by him, whose open invitation dated 12 October refers.
Friends, ex-classmates and contemporaries, greetings from a part of Spain, my second adopted country!
Yes, I have been living in Lanzarote, part of the Canary Islands, since 2008. I had left HK for the UK fairly early in August 64, in fact only days after finding out I had managed to pass the old school cert. I think I might have been the first pupil from the class of 64 to leave HK; and I had spent the subsequent 44 years in old Britain.

Recently I had a chance to access some photo albums of our late classmate Gregory Chow 周仁傑 and found forty odd photos of him taken with some of us. I found those photos memorable and decided to make a video out of them. I was planning to present it at our 2012 reunion Gala dinner...
