金剛國際渡海節 2008

2000游泳健兒暢渡石

優勝者的微笑 2008汕頭市金剛國際渡海節昨舉行本報訊(記者肖彤蘭)昨天上午10時,2008年汕頭市金剛國際渡海節在礐石海灣舉行。來自世界各地和周邊城市的國際友人、友好人士和游泳愛好者約近2000人,迎著驕陽,劈波斬浪,暢渡礐石海灣。

近2 0 0 0 健兒暢渡礐石海藍天碧海,人歡魚躍。上午9時許,盡管距離渡海活動開始時間還有約1個小時,但在礐石海灣輪渡碼頭,卻已人頭攢動。驕豔的陽光,給每一個身著泳裝的游泳健兒灑上一層金色光芒,處處是歡聲笑語,大家互相鼓勁,助威吶喊。

市領導鐘展南、莊大軍、郭大欽,市紀委副書記林健民等出席了渡海儀式。10時10分,副市長郭大欽莊重宣佈:“2008年汕頭市金剛國際渡海節正式開始!”耀眼的信號彈騰空而越,人群中發出一陣震耳欲聾的歡呼聲,“奧運精神!閃耀汕頭!

”“我健康!我游泳!我快樂!”激情洋溢的人們,呼喊著口號,打出振奮人心的標語,迎著驕陽,躍進大海。

霎那間,海面泛起一簇簇歡樂的水花,青、紅、橙、紫、藍⋯⋯五彩繽紛的泳帽,將蔚藍的海面妝點成絢麗的彩緞。

國際友人廣州泳友贊汕頭

來自美國的吉榮芳,有著一雙美麗的藍色大眼睛。她告訴記者,自從去年應“金剛玻璃”邀請參加汕頭渡海節後,自己就愛上了汕頭的藍天、碧海,愛上了游泳和渡海。一年來,她一直堅持游泳,提高游泳技巧,此次,她只花了30多分鐘就游完全程,非常開心。

戴著橙色泳帽的250多名廣州冬泳協會成員,是首次專程趕來汕頭參加金剛國際渡海節的。記者現場看到,這些泳友裝備精良,帶著統一的救生背包,有的還蒙上有趣的彩色可視面罩,人人神彩飛揚,激動萬分地大贊汕頭:“水清、海秀、人更美。”該游泳協會帶頭人告訴記者,他們走過好多城市,能夠擁有如此潔淨、清澈的天然海灣的城市不多,而能夠讓海灣留住這一份藍天、碧海的城市更少。他寄語汕頭,珍惜大自然的這份“恩賜”,保護、熱愛和享受美麗的汕頭海灣。

火炬手莊大建的渡海情結

廣東金剛玻璃科技有限公司董事長莊大建,是我市渡海活動的贊助商,也是渡海的“鐵杆”支持者,他們一家被評為我市“游泳之家”。他坦言有一份渡海情結

———

自2001年汕頭恢複全市性渡海活動以來,莊大建年年親自帶領員工隊伍參加渡海,並帶動自己的女兒、親戚、好友參加,給予渡海活動長達7年的資金贊助。莊大建90多歲的老父親莊明瑞,青年時代就曾多次率領革命隊伍渡江、渡海。7年來,他不顧年事已高,每年堅持親臨現場,為渡海健兒鼓勁助威。今年,莊大建被選為“奧運火炬手”,該公司生產的金剛玻璃,也鑲嵌上國家體育館“鳥巢”。昨天,以40分鐘暢渡礐石海的他接受記者採訪時表示,希望以自己的行動,弘揚奧運精神,展現汕頭“海納百川、自強不息”新形象。

截止上午11時半,渡海活動圓滿結束。汕頭市第十二中學的徐小茱用21分鐘時間第一個抵達終點,成為連續8年“與渡海活動一起成長”的游泳健兒。

Labour Day with Mandy at Ngong Ping 360







The weather was alright! Mandy and I took a A21 bus from Mongkok to Tung Chun around 2:00pm. It was my first time to ride on Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Personally, the ride was kinda scary, but fun... surely my hands gripped tightly on the handle bar. I could see the beautiful mountain, green sea and the whole HKG airport!

The statue of buddha is cool... although I am not into the Buddhism or religious thing, the art and design the monks have created are beautiful!

Again, I love Mandy as my best friend. Thank you very much for our 2 years friendship and love!

Glad to meet Vendy online

Amazed with the Google power, Vendy passed by my blog while googling her name. Also, we reconnected through Facebook and she was kind to share her photo album of Eastbourne 1998. I have only seen these photos once in reunion dinner at the Pizza Hut and really feel time flies...

Random notes from my trip 2007

Day 0 HKG
Packing at the last minute,uploading all the schedule, maps, flight information, contacts numbers, scanned versions of the IDs and train tickets to the little PDA... It was a rainny night and I took the airport express to the Hong Kong International Airport.
The flying experience was not same anymore. It's more about safety, anti terrarism and being high in security alter. Where is the relaxation and fun ? I doubt it. How many security check we have to go through before arriving to the destination? At least two with no suprise.

Day 1 British Airlines
Getting into the gate at 11:25pm and 35 minutes before closing, there is already a super long quene with at least 30 people. Some with the British accent, Aussis, Scottish... Mine sounds like Asian American...
After 30 minute of waiting, I saw an Indian gentlement at the business class getting annoyed about the mature chinese women being frustrated with her seat. At the same time, he was checking me out with his flirty eye and smile.

Finally, getting back to my airsle seat. A friendly couple from Australia was calmly waiting to take off. They are going to visit her daughter in London and have one month vacation in UK.
I shared what I have been studying abd they shared fun stuff in their countries. The flight was a great one and i did not even feel like it's 13 hours flight. Thanks to the BA highlife entertainment.

Well, somebody said that the Heathrow is one of the busiest airport in the world. Most people this morning it is one of the worst design. It took so long to get through the custom and there were not eought staff to direct the tourist where to get the gate.

Ben Parsons


Ben and I met at the Marseille Train Station in summer 2007 while waiting for our trains. He was heading back to Manchester and I was to Nice. We just chatted for 30 mins about our journeys and school life. Then, we said goodbye and moved on to our separate ways with the contact left behind.

Here is the cool page about his Europe Trip. Love it!

徐志摩 - 我等候你

Sunset in Marseille, France

我等候你。

我望著戶外的昏黃

如同望著將來,

我的心震盲了我的聽。

你怎還不來?希望

在每一秒鐘上允許開花。

我守候著你的步履,

你的笑語,你的臉,

你的柔軟的髮絲,

守候著你的一切;

希望在每一秒鐘上

枯死-你在那裡?

我要你,要得我心裡生痛,

我要你的火燄似的笑,

要你的靈活的腰身,

你的髮上眼角的飛星;

我陷落在迷醉的氛圍中,

像一座島,

在蟒綠的海間,不自主的在浮沉... ...

喔,我迫切的想望

那一朵神奇的優曇

開上時間的頂尖!

你為什麼不來,忍心的?

你明知道,我知道你知道,

你這不來於我是致命的一擊,

打死我生命中乍放的陽春,

教堅實如礦裡的鐵的黑暗,

壓迫我的思想與呼吸;

打死可憐的希冀的嫩芽,

把我,囚犯似的,交付給

妒與愁苦,生的羞慚

與絕望的慘酷。

這也許是癡。竟許是癡。

我信我確然是癡;

但我不能轉撥一支已然定向的舵,

萬方的風息都不容許我猶豫-

我不能回頭運命驅策著我!

我也知道這多半是走向

毀滅的路;但

為了你,為了你,

我什麼也都甘願;

這不僅我的熱情,

我的僅有的理性亦如此說。

癡!想磔碎一個生命的纖微

為要感動一個女人的心!

想博得的,至多是

她的一滴淚,

她的一陣心酸,

竟許一半聲漠然的冷笑;

但我也甘願,即使

我粉身的消息傳到

她的心裡如同傳給

一塊頑石,她把我看作

一隻地穴裡的鼠,一條蟲,

我還是甘願!

癡到了真,是無條件的,

上帝他也無法調回一個

痴定了的心如同一個將軍

有時調回已上死線的士兵。

枉然,一切都是枉然,

你的不來是不容否認的實在,

雖則我心裡燒著潑旺的火,

饑渴著你的一切,

你的髮,你的笑,你的手腳;

任何的痴想與祈禱

不能縮短一小寸

你我間的距離!

戶外的昏黃已然

凝聚成夜的烏黑,

樹枝上掛著冰雪,

鳥雀們典去了它們的啁啾,

沈默是這一致穿孝的宇宙。

鐘上的針不斷的比著

玄妙的手勢,像是指點,

像是同情,像是嘲諷,

每一次到點的打動,我聽來是

我自己的心的

活埋的喪鐘。

All About Tea

You might have noticed that there was a new link- www.allabouttea.co.uk added into my list on the left after the study trip. It was because Mr. Andrew Gadsden, the Teaologist in Southsea has made some great tea for me during my stay in South of England.

Also, he showed his tea collections, shared how he started the website, his tea research and passion for this godly treat. He took me to tea shopping in the local market. It was a fascinating experience!

After the trip, I began to search for good Chinese tea and learn more about tea at the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware and the K.S. Lo Gallery in Hong Kong. I started drinking more tea than coffee.

... I believe that we deserve a tea time everyday with friends and family. No matter how short it is, we should take a break to appreciate life with a cup of healthy tea.
