大熊星社（一九六三）同學畢業四十五週年回校記
二零零八年五月二十四日（星期六）上午，一九六三年畢業之英文部大熊星社（GREAT BEAR II）同學連配偶一行三十六人，繼去年三月十一日之拜訪，再次重臨母校，拜會孔智剛校長。此行之主要目的有下列幾點：
（一） 答謝母校多年之訓導；
（二） 捐贈『粵華小學英文優異獎學金』基金港幣一萬五千元。
（三） 捐贈『粵華中學擴建校舍籌款』葡幣一萬一千元。
本社同學於澳門碼頭集合後，於是日十一時返抵母校，獲孔校長親自接見，並於千禧場館熱誠款待。
孔校長作簡短介紹粵華近況：本校近年畢業之同學成績良好，屢獲英、美、加、澳、台灣及世界各大著名學府取錄。在澳門政府贊助之十位獎學金中，本校同學佔有四位，誠難能可貴。在歡聚之時間，本社代表梁星棋與趙善威同學向校長捐出『粵華小學英文優異獎學金』，並稱『擴校籌款』之捐款，在收集完畢後，另行呈上。
是日（五月廿四日）剛巧為聖母瞻禮之大日子，校長率領我們一行到聖母亭聖母像前，為全世界人民、四川地震受難者祈禱。祈禱完畢，孔校長特別為同學唱出他在童年時最喜歡唱的兩首歌，一首是『聖母頌』，第二首是『海星』，各同學齊齊和唱，至真至善，餘音繞樑。最後校長再領唱『粵華校歌』，全體同學引冗高歌，由“志學之年”踏入“耳順之年”，隔半世紀之重唱，真是一曲難忘，永留心坎。
在校長引領，我們參觀母校新建成之校舍及各項建設，再重回英文部昔日之校舍，整座建築物保留完整，回到課室，當年老師授課時之情景，一一從回憶再現眼前。行出課室，慢步踏上一九六三年拍畢業照之石堦，按舊照片之排列，再來一張“畢業”照片。童年不再，有緣重聚，已是“從心之年”。
與校長及老師OZORIO揮手道別，我們一行人等前往『退休退役及領取撫恤金人士協會』午餐，並邀請黃兆釧老師相聚。部份旅居海外同學如：招再剛，何志堃，HARBHAJAN SINGH，ＲICARDO DE SENNA等與黃老師多年不見，今次難得重敘，焂忽已四十多年。午餐是自助餐形式，舉杯暢飲，大快朵頤。
午餐後，一起前往參觀松山燈塔，此一座澳門地標，聳立山頂多年。每晚之探射燈，照耀濠江海港，百年如一日。登山觀望，今日所觀所得，滄海桑田，與印象中大相逕庭，往昔之田野阡陌，如今已大廈林立，特具現代都市之特色。
離開松山，到關閘，過拱北，直往住宿之中山『香格里拉酒店』。晚上鄭承忠同學設讌酒店內之『江南趣』酒家，享用准楊菜式，筵開四席，席間，特別邀請鄭夫人高歌助興，好歌妙韻，為讌會平添歡樂氣氛。飯後餘慶，在酒店內之歌廳欣賞流行曲演唱，盡歡而散。
翌日早上前往參觀順德市政府總部建設，惜逢天雨，驅車匆匆而過。午膳於順德『順峰山庄』，享用順德美食；南中國順德風味，聞名已久，簡單的食物，精細的製作，美味可口，一試難忘。
午膳後參觀番禺區、沙灣鎮、紫泥村園林名勝『寶墨園』，此園集清宫文化，嶺南園藝，水鄉風貌而成。園林佈局自然，構思巧妙，使遊客大開眼界，回味無窮。甫出寶墨園，路旁小食店林立，各位當不會放過順德之“双皮奶”及“薑汁撞奶”以及小食“魚皮餃子”，真是難得一吃之上佳小食及甜品。
踏返歸途，順道在中山之『石歧佬飯店』晚飯，“石歧乳鴿”是著名之地道美食，豈容錯過。
兩日之行程結束，敘舊時短，朋情永留，分手握別，再會有期。畢業五十週年的大日子，是大家再見之約，期間的小聚會，當然少不了。
歸途中, 寫七絕一首，詩贈同窗以兹記念 :
荷風敘舊共登樓
憶別濠江五十秋
難得重逢身力健
笑談再約比肩遊
趙善威記

A Summary of the Reunion of the Graduates of Great Bear II (1963)
Celebrating the 45th Graduation Anniversary
On 24th May (Saturday) 2008, the Great Bear II classmates, together with their spouses, a total of 36 persons visited their mother school --Yuet Wah College and the Principal, Rev. Fr. Francis Hung, S.D.B.
The purposes of the Reunion and visit to the mother school were as follows:
(1) Courtesy visit to mother school for celebration of 45th graduation anniversary
(2) Donation of additional scholarship of HK$15,000.00 awarding English subject outstanding pupil in Primary Section; and
(3) Donation of MOP 11,000.00 for the construction of school’s extension.
Around 11.00 am, the Hong Kong classmates joined by those of Macau arrived Yuet Wah College. The Principal Rev. Fr. Francis Hung greeted the classmates at the “Millennium Hall” and gave a short brief on the achievements of the pupils at school. In short, most of the graduates were able to get admission from famous Universities of UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Taiwan etc. Last year, the pupils obtained four out of the ten Scholarships offered by the Government of Macau SAR. After some exchange of information, Mr. Keith Leung and Mr. Chiu Sin Wai on behalf of the Great Bear II presented the cheque of the scholarship to Rev. Fr. Hung. The donation of MOP11,000.00 will be given at a later day after funds being collected.
Coincidently, the day was “The Feast of Mary Help of Christians”, Rev. Fr. Hung leaded all of us to the Shrine of Our Lady Mary and prayed for the people of the world and the victims of Sichuan earthquake. Rev. Fr. Hung also sang his favourite songs “Ava Maria” and “Sea Star”. Afterwards all the classmates joined in and sang the School Song all together. Indeed it brought back lots of memories while singing the same old song after half a Century.
Then Rev Fr. Hung leaded us to the new buildings and surroundings. It was noted that the building of the English Section was kept in good condition. The memories of the old days sitting at the classroom were once again in our minds. We finally took a photo at the same stone steps where the graduation picture was taken in 1963.
After saying goodbye to Rev. Fr. Hung and Mr. Ozorio, we had the Portuguese buffet lunch at the “Associacao dos Aposentados, Reformados E. Pensionistas de Macau”. Those classmates, residing at overseas, such as Peter Chiu, Ho Chi Kuan, Harbhajan Singh, Ricardo De Senna were delighted to meet Mr.Wong Siu Chuen who was our Mathematics teacher after more than 40 years.
At 3.00 pm, we went to the Light House at Pine Tree Hill, a landmark of Macau. Standing at the top of the hill and overlooking the city, we were amazed that the previous wild fields were now replaced by high-rise buildings.
Then we continued the journey to Zhongshan and checked in the 6 Stars Shangri-la Hotel. In the evening, our classmate Mr. Cheng Seng Chong Edward held a dinner reception in the Hotel Restaurant. We all enjoyed the delicious “Wei Yeung” cuisines. Mrs. Cheng was delighted to sing two songs for the party.
Next day, despite the misty rain, our coach bus strode along the famous Government buildings of Shunde Town and we were all impressed by the enormous size and luxury of the Government buildings. Then we went to “Shun Fung Hill Restaurant” and enjoyed the famous “Shunde Cuisine”.
After lunch, we visited “Bao Mo Garden” in Panyu. The Garden situated in Zini Village, Shawan Town of Panyu. . It combined the culture of an official, gardening arts and ancient buildings styles of Southern China waterside scenery in the Pearl River delta. After leaving the Garden, we would not miss the famous local delicacy of “Double Skinned Milk”, “Hot Milk mixed with Ginger Juice” etc.
Dinner was held at Zhongshan “Shek Ki Lo Restaurant”, which was well known for their “Shek Ki deep fired pigeons”. We without any hesitation , quickly put on the plastic gloves and finished them in no time.
Two days had passed quickly. There were so much to catch up and yet time was so short. We all agreed the date of next Reunion would be on the 50th Anniversary.
Thanks to the efforts and generosity of the following classmates, the trip was able to be held successfully:
Leung Shing Kay Keith--Overall Coordinator
Cheng Koon Sum Philip--Trip planner
Kwan Manuel Victor--Coordinator, Macau
Cheng Seng Chong Edward--Donor of Jetfoil tickets and dinner
Cheung Kung Leong--Photographer
Chiu Sin Wai--Secretary
