Grand Orbit

之前都有美食友訴說此新店食物一般,
在三號風球的周五晚上,
時大風大雨,
又不想外闖,
試了此餐廳的第一次,
真的是好一般,
300多元一位,
覺得只是吃了百多元的食物,
魚生的賣相令我只是吃了數片,
熱盤又是普普通通,
甜品沒有一樣是我的至愛.
casual wear的食客很多,
小孩亦很多,
時常隨意的在餐廳內走來走去,
小孩們尤其喜歡在朱古力噴泉前做自己的小甜點 -
有一穿著粉紅色可愛裙子的小女孩
沒有父母陪同下,
滿口食物並打開咀巴周圍的在甜品桌上走,
給我看見她為一些甜品加料,
並同時弄髒地面
真的令我有感,
是誰的錯!

現時享受自助餐,
除食物環境等質素要考慮外,
食客的質素都要在考慮之列!

MRT 上

從使用手機的方式,
很易區別他們來自何方,
此為本人觀察所得:

日本: 靜音及以短訊溝通
台北:靜音及低聲細語
香港:音樂鈴聲大合唱及自言自語.





轉載: 人生何處不 laughing

A 傳來的閱讀分享, 不錯!
 
人生何處不 laughing
閉上眼好好 thinking
人生就像一幅painting
點點滴滴如何coloring
還看你今怎樣planning
有人怨天尤人經常crying
有人餐搵餐食掛住shopping
有人遊戲人間鍾情playing
有人空談理想齋talking
也有人永不停步不斷struggling


像薛家燕雖然百病纏身令她suffering
但為了子女將來的美好living
依然不理手術後傷口仍在paining
繼續拍劇繼續working
令聞者worrying
聽者touching
都說母愛永遠最是shinning
當時光列車在身旁高速passing
頭上白髮告訴你青春不會waiting
你不期然開始wondering
為何幸運之神總是未有coming
前路數之不盡的蕉皮令你slipping
成功的燈塔卻遠在天邊未能climbing
莫非永遠龍游淺水,就像那條座頭鯨困在本港水域swimming

當初百多元買入匯豐當作 saving
誰知股票一再falling
怎不教人shocking
既然捉不到高位沽貨的timing
又經歷身家大縮水的losing
開始看透富貴只如天際clouding
這分鐘享受winning
下一秒卻只有nothing
何不找一個陽光普照的morning
走到郊外試試hiking
聽小鳥無愁地singing
看地上蟻群悠閒地walking
還有風聲蟬鳴蛙叫讓你listening
再放眼looking
天上飛鳥自在地flying
是不是很好feeling
誰說人生boring
看大自然的amazing
感受活著的pleasing
來吧!do something
不要沉迷於drinking sleeping
總有人令你missing
總有目標讓你朝著running
哪怕dying
哪怕raining
信自己是最charming
替自己在生命冊上預留一個booking
寫下無悔今生的happy ending
最後讓我們ask for God's blessing

實用傢具,
玻璃與金飾,

如夢似幻的景象!
真的可引起很多聯想.

澳門的土司機術語 : 一塊蛋糕

自從博彩業一枝獨秀,
來澳旅客數量時創高峄,
在街上想乘坐的士非常困難,
因為司機們想賺旅客的錢多於本澳市民的短程車.

同事今日告訴我,
一直無法取得電召的士服務,
最近發現
原來他們有一行內的秘物,
乘客要求Call 台落服務時,
如說明你會給一塊蛋糕,
或如果真的很趕,可以增至兩塊或三塊,
如此,即有誘因吸引司機來你等車的地方,
"一塊蛋糕"=十元!

真的是難以相信,
為何澳門可以如此?!

Jack's Kitchen

Chatted with F about this restaurant near my house,
she told me that she ate twice there as the hostess is her ex-collegue.

F also told me the romence story of the couple - the French man met the Chinese lady in a beautiful place in China (麗江) during their trip few years ago,
story developed - they fell in love and committed with each other,
then set up their family in France.

Later, they have two daughters,
the wife wants the daughters learn more Chinese,
thus, the family decided to come back to Macau,
and opened this restaurant.

What a good story!

Errands

Last day before the trip to Taiwan,
I discovered that I had a long list of things to do,
thus, I was as busy as in the office -
buying travel insurance,
getting money from the bank,
exchanging money,
returning books to library,
getting rice dumplings,
shopping,
laundry,
cooking,
packing,
I also needed to make the shortest route to different places,
spending the minimum time,
...................
not an easy job!


Traditional Rice Dumpling Festival - Zongi






香港藝術博物館半天遊 + I saw the rainbow



原安排星期一在一天內看兩展覽,
因天氣關係順延了一天,
遇上文化博物館星期二休館日,
沒機會看畢加索的大作,
(其實在巴黎時已看過一些),
但豐子愷的展覽真是不錯.
有機會真是想去他的故鄉去領略一些畫的意景.

下午是"自"自由行,
入了重慶大廈逛,
此次是很多年的第二次,
其實是想看看裝修後的重慶森林,
很多店子內的店員都不是中國人,
只有一兩間是年紀大的香港人.
在全是非中國人的天地,
發覺自己真像去了外地一樣,
所以決定來一個印度午餐.
延續此個文化體驗,
(真的有點懷念一些印度/非洲的同學).

之後再往長沙灣,旺角一帶,
感染一下香港大都會的氣色
約下午6:10時,
在橫過馬路時
竟給我看見彩虹!

2012.6.19休假日的美食

早上
往雀仔園公仔記吃早餐,
因為實在是很久沒有在公仔記吃,
突然很想吃街坊茶餐.
入到店內,
撞到添哥.
真是千年難遇,
以前最喜歡是食此店的炒麵,
看見他的雲吞撈粗加咖喱汁很吸引,
因此叫了雲吞撈粗,
另加熱菜蜜,
很飽的一個美味中式早餐- MOP24.5.

中午在尖沙咀重慶大廈的Shama Restaurant
食正宗的印度午餐 -
店子小小, 只有5-6張桌子,
老板一身數職 - 接order,招呼及收銀,
食客全都是他們的同鄉,
有家庭成員一家大細的,
有結伴的好友,
有單獨的非洲商人,
我是獨一的異鄉食客,
像完全走入一個新的文化角度,
昏暗的燈光,
輕柔的印度音樂,
電視上播著印度劇集,
來了一客一人全餐-
想全面的來品嘗各款印度美食-
因為廚房只有一位廚師,
起菜很慢,
可能我不想食快餐,
但又想要有上快餐的速度,
真是矛盾.
食物尚可,
只是一個85元的午餐,
惟最後進入了我的腸胃的食物來了一場Storming.
I got the answer!







晚餐吃了味千拉麵的豬軟骨拉麵,
不過好似沒有以前的好吃,
一人簡單的晚餐HKD62.

髮型師

放假沒事做,
雖然髮型不是很長,
但想感覺良好,
理髮去!

原來的資深店長髮型師要等一個鐘才上班,
因為不想等太久,
轉了試用一個像很細心的髮型師.

等了一段時間,
她上前給我開始剪,
並說我的頭髮不是很長,
我回答不想那麼亂,
並告知我想沿用原有的髮型,
不一會,
突然有一位剛洗完頭像濶太的大聲說"我趕時間",
我的那位髮型師即時對我細聲說,
"她老公生病,她要趕回家"
之後我那剪了一半的頭,
走不得,
要足足等了25 分鐘.
才再繼續.

同時,非常可惜,
在我的抱怨後,
她已不耐煩,
非常不滿意.

真是一個錯誤的選擇,
Anyway,
I took risk on my hair style,
no more second chance - to this liar and unprofessional hairdresser!!

The one and the last one

I intended to join the line dancing class organised by the Government Sport Department for a long time,
but I never got the chance lucky enough to be drawn for the registration.

Knowing that there may be  slim Chance after the normal registration,
thus, this morning,
went to the Tap Siac Stadium to check out if I could get in the advanced level of line dancing class on Saturday afternoon.

The result came out.................
there was only one place left for the class I am looking for,
therefore,
I was the last one to register to join in the class for July and August !!!

Looking forward for the Happy line-dancing.

Portuguese Consulate General in Macau

Third day of my holiday,
the weather was not stable in the morning,
thus cancelled my planned activity for today.

Went to the Portuguese Consulate to see when I can renew my passport and citizen ID instead,
the office for reservation was not crowded at all,
I needed not to wait -
that didn't mean that I could renew today,
after talking with the lady for reservation,
the earliest date is Aug 14,
she was nice to give me the booking at 1:30PM,
and she reminded me to come a little bit earlier,
so that I need not to take a day off to get the document done.

What a wonderful day and thanks for the elegant lady!

珠海鳳凰山-不經意的驚險攀山活動一天行

陰天,
原計劃是珠海普陀寺閒遊兼食素,
輕便行裝,
SK2嫩白美腿配短褲,
布鞋一對,
沒有攀山的準備及食物,
的士往普陀寺,
約10時前到達,

最後向路人問了方向及資料,
"勇"字闖進鳳凰山徑登高去,
沿途看見很多不同的植物及昆蟲,
一山還有一山高,
美麗風光無限 -城市景貌,水庫,海灣,叢林,峻石,
但上山容易下山難,
衣服乾了又濕,
濕了又乾,
來了一個免費森林SPA;
由於不是沿路回,
最後都不知如何走,
巧遇一群外省的年青小伙子,
小姑娘們穿著漂亮的裙子及高跟鞋,
享受郊遊樂,
她們說在鄉時都是山間到處跑,
不是什麼難事,
但他們也不是很清楚真正的方向,
結果是跟著他們一起結伴走,
上完山時,
走入了山溪瀑布
時晴時大雨,
難度升級
又不知所在地點位置,
且已看不到民居或公路,
只是高山叢林及溪澗
真是極限驚險,
原計劃1~2個小時的步行活動,
結果超時,
要下午4時多才安全下山,
去了神前,
美丽湾附近.

活动路线:普陀寺——白鹤顶——唐南径——凤凰顶——观音庙----神前村

午飯是5時多在金苑-
已經不知是下午茶定午飯!

又是一個難忘的回憶.

Kasumi 日式燒餅店

此店在家的樓下附近,
時常經過,
不時有很多年青人在等位或等外賣,
也有很多時休息,
店主的牌會寫"對不起,小孩生病,今天休息"
很有日本味道!
因為店主是日本夫婦,
他們自己做廚師,
店子小小的,
有閣樓,並放了一些簡單日本味的裝飾及有一些日本漫畫書,
窗子外望有黃色的街燈及一座舊式兩層高的房子,
簡單的數張摺檯,
每次都是年青人的天下.
客人需自己下單點食物,

昨天晚飯原計劃往COD,
惜下大雨,
改了去Jack's Kitchen,
原來店主放假一星期,
已是9時多,
再往The Corner,
full house,
"眾裡尋她千百度"
行至家附近,
入Kasumi 內看見剛有人離開,
即時坐下
點了套餐 - 有日式火煱,豬肉墨魚燒餅,湯,飯,再另來 Iced - Mango Green Tea,
食物要等很耐,
尤其是火鍋 -
真是特別另類的日本餐.
好抵食!

Love Quote I learned from R.W.

R was an Indian American whom I met in my Sophomore year in Berea,
she was a very special lady and looked very different with the other white student,
she knew how to make guitar,
and played instrument,
she always taught me this quote,
which I remember very well
even though she dropped out Berea
and went back to her home state to pursue her studies in Law -

It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

重溫 舊時 泛起許多的片段
並沒有忘掉 從每次失意時 對比今天 昨天

捱過了困惑時 讓笑淚往事如煙
你與我可從頭 仍在努力 前進每一天

Believe in our dreams 回頭像夢中 青蔥歲月 
難過也絕不放棄 未來 一切變改 還是喝彩
Believe in our dreams 曾有過夢想 簡單也精彩
過去有多難忘 在那天在這天 未變


和你不再猶豫 再譜寫香港的故事
別問我來自 來這裡早與遲 共創一起 明天

只是每當變幻時 動與盪 或會未停止
對錯永不完全 其實要讓眼光 望遠

Believe in our dreams 回頭像夢中 青蔥歲月 
難過也絕不放棄 未來 一切變改 還是喝彩
Believe in our dreams 曾有過夢想 簡單也精彩
過去有多難忘 在那天在這天 未變

仍然是有你同行 就算披星戴月 充滿 決心
仍然是有你同行 和你一起奮鬥
這裡就是我家 是我家


全世界沒界限 由你我夢想一一建立
難過也渡過 哪怕 未來一切變改 oh yeah

Believe in our dreams Dreams come true 
曾有過夢想 簡單也精彩
過去有多難忘 從這天來熱愛 未晚
過去也不遺忘 Believe in our dreams

回歸 舊時 讓笑淚 像往事如煙
我愛我家仍然 在那天在這天 未變

擁抱愛...愛回家 主題曲



在世間遮風擋雨 有一種愛
從六歲到八十也不更改
任我飛 天空海闊前望將來
寒或暖 有笑容可一可再
遙遠 隻身參與漫長競賽
回家這路線 快樂佈景四邊覆蓋
越行越遠 困倦了總有家中這道門 為我開
在世間不聲不語 有一種愛
柔靭到叫鐵石種出花開
任我飛不經不覺背包超載
晴或雨要記住相親相愛
無限暖 最美是這一種愛

My old days in Berea - People I met

Finding Berea friends in facebook is a pleasant activity after the work,
by reading the names of each,
I can recall my memory -
their typical characters.
as college students,
at certain period of time in our life,
we came from different parts of world,
or different parts of States,
we met in Berea-
studying, eating and living in the small campus,
we saw each other every day.

I try to count my friends out,
as it is really an interesting memory exercise -

People from my dorm:

Kris was the head residence of my dorm, she was an old lady from Ohio,  a non-traditional student -  I visited her room only twice, but I was scarred  by her dogs.

C.W., an African student, was my first roommate in Berea, she helped me a lot to survive my freshman year, she was in Business Major, but all I know about her was very limited, in my second year, she moved out the campus and had her family. From time to time, she came over to visit our room - 210.

J.O. was my second roommate who was very nice to me, she was not good at Math, and always looked for help. She was my "wiki" during the days in Berea.  She always wore a piece of long pink evening dress at night time, once in a while, with her face mask on her face.

C was from Africa, she always dressed up very nice to classes and work.

A was from Africa, she was in German major, she had a single room which was in the corner of the hallway, she always wore topless and rushed to the restroom in the early morning.

M was from China, but she was very different with the other Chinese students, as she had been in States for long time, she spoke fluent English and she always hanged around with the stylish people.

T was from Tibet, she was a very quiet student, she was my hair-dresser once,  in food service, she ate with a lot of spicy pepper.

People from work/class:

"Red hair" was the name we gave to C.T.

M.M has white and beautiful skin, she has nice smile and she was always a pretty woman to me.

Mars was a nice gentleman from Indonesia.

J from Brazil, once in a while, we spoke little Portuguese.

H. N,  a very elegant lady, didn't speak Japanese but her family came from Japan long time ago.

Delois was from the South, she could draw cute  cartoon, and she made me one, I still keep it.

S.L. was always a happy "fat" girl in my eyes.

T. L was the only person we talked in few Cantonese once, as his family came from HK.

R J. was always a manger to us, as he worked as the dining room manger for 4 years.

K.R kept her long golden hair for the four years college life, she studied very hard, she once was my roommate for my first summer in Berea.

J.C was a very quiet but clever student in our accounting class, we always got the highest marks in class - later on, I was no more a threat to him, as I changed my major to Math.

T. J was a big guy with a apple face.

S.S. always sang around in campus, even though in the night time.

....
for others, I need time to write them out, I should have more buddies!!
People around:
In college
it was very easy to meet friends,
even though we were not in the same class,
nor in the same work place,
but walking around the campus,
or eating in food service,
friends' friends became friends easily -
I would recognise them easily by seeing their faces,
however I forget their name now.

2012-06-11

International Students

Found few Berea friends in facebook today,
I am very happy and am interested to know the updates of each other,
most of the international students,
especially the African students eventually settle down in the States,
only few left and went home,
S went back to Bangladesh,
A back to Nepal,
M from Malaysia, L from Japan, married and now live in HK,
I hope to find out more Berea friends!

Michael J. Sandel, What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, 2012.

明報專訊】哈佛大學哲學家Michael Sandel在新作《What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets》中羅列事例,市場的邏輯可謂無處不在,由大學到監獄、由生育到善終、由買賣器官到買賣「讚辭」和「道歉服務」,令讀者大開眼界。Sandel提出了「公平」(Fairness)和「腐敗」(Corruption)的兩大質疑,他認為,市場中的供求雙方永遠存在「不公平」交易的現象,貧窮的人由議價能力到選擇遠遠不及較富裕的人。此外,他更不想見到功利主義規律的擴散,有可能排擠其他非市場的規犯,威脅着社會的良知和公民的責任感,帶來人性的腐敗和崩壞。

"熟"

昨天晚上的聚會中,
F 突然感觸的對我說,
原來我兩曾經有不少歲月,
一起背著背包,
走過內地不少的名山大川景點,
品嚐各式大城小鎮的美食,
沿途日夕相對,
彼此並肩照顧的旅伴室友,
她以為我們是很熟的朋友,
但原來她發覺我和她不是很"熟".

我很默言,
因為,
於我,
永遠都是很好的朋友,
只不過是繁忙的生活,
疏於聯繫,
但心中,
存在真摰的友誼,
有如"君子之交淡如水",
清純,
質優,
維持心靈的生命之源!

All My Dearest Friends,
Please accept my apologies that though I didn't call,write or meet you very often, our friendship always stay in my mind,
Lots of love..................................

十月初五街上的新食店

生意生意,
適者生存,
印象中十月初五街已沒有昔日的繁盛,
有一些店子已關門很久.

今日偶然經過
先後看見兩間新裝修的食店:
積木冰室
Poker Cafe'
水準如何不知,
但始終是多個選擇方便找食,
真好!

Zhuhai Bus Ride

Recently,
I realise that inside the Zhuhai bus,
in addition of announcing the names of the bus stop by the recording machine
whenever the bus driver drives over the speed limit,
there is a machine immediately announces loudly and warns the driver to reduce speed.

I didn't go go Zhuhai very often,
but I met this scenario twice:

" The speed is over 51, please drive carefully"
" The speed is over 55, please reduce the speed rate"
" The speed is over 59, you are driving dangerously"

Seeing inside the bus cabin,
listening this announcement,
all the passengers were quiet and be alerted,
what an adventure ride in Zhuhai!

氹仔木偶葡國餐廳

周五晚上外出晚飯,
往Antonio走,
沒有訂位,
full house,
往舊城區走,
最後入了木偶.

餐廳內的裝修很有葡萄牙特色,
樓底很高,
食客不多,
但很明顯是國際旅客,
有日本女子,
有非洲的商人,
我是本地的!

真的是很久沒有在此餐廳食東西,
有點點深刻的回憶,
不覺間已是N年前的時光,
濃冬陽光普照的公共假期,
一大班於同一機構工作的小伙子,
單車行活動後,

La Cucina Italiana ( old Taipa)


Going to have dinner with my old friends this Saturday,
chose Italiana food,
however,
didn't know the exact name, place nor the telephone no,
just know it is a nice restaurant which I ate once,
and need to make reservation for Saturday night,
thus,
do my homework now!

捷成咖啡

前幾天,
在新馬路中段郵政局往對面的店舖看,
Espirit...金舖,金舖,又是金舖,
店名都不能吸引我,
心想,
老店愈見愈少.
要找熟悉的地標歷史店舖真難.

原來,不覺間,
繼白馬行的澳門日報較早前搬走後,
又有一間老店將消失於鬧市中.
捷成咖啡要搬走.
這幾天店內清貨88折,
繁忙時間吸引了長長的人龍,
好不熱鬧,
那怕明年今日,
此位置又是一間毛利更高,
租金新高的新店了!

吳志森﹕「貪曾」罵名跟足一輩子

明報專訊】再批評曾蔭權,欲說無從,沒有咬牙切齒,只有無限唏噓。
嚴格來說,曾蔭權是一個傳奇,是典型香港夢的成功例子。生長在一個警察基層家庭,沒有大富大貴的背景,連大學都沒有念過,由賣藥的推銷員,考入政府從低做起,一步一步爬升,最後貴為特首。曾蔭權的人生奮鬥史,有條件令香港人感到自豪,成為港人爭着捧讀的暢銷書。


財爺潑冷水 夏秋多風雨

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)上星期五歐美和中印發表的經濟數據都不如人意,昨日本港等亞洲股市承接美股下跌,財政司司長曾俊華警告不排除調低本港今年增長預測,失業率或回升,樓市爆升「不健康」,令人有「山雨欲來風滿樓」之感。

這一輪危機風眼在歐洲,包括多國國債和金融體系會否「爆煲」,歐羅會否解體,會否產生威力比雷曼爆煲更巨大的金融海嘯。希臘會否「脫歐」前景未明,西班牙銀行體系又鬧出退資潮和倒閉威脅,歐洲多國擺脫不了債務和衰退泥沼,拖累其他國家經濟表現,內地和本港的出口亦受打擊。

媽媽的選擇

昨天晚上回家路上經過玫瑰堂前地,
有很多人參加燭光紀念晚會,
參加了一會,
看見有一兩位媽媽帶同穿著校服的兒子一起出席,
真是難得,
讓他們年青的去認識歷史,
再回望噴水池前地的所謂慶祝歌舞活動,
(真的是年年如是),
一群群的年青人沉醉於當下的歡樂,
真的是無奈!

漫步西灣

下午黃昏漫步西灣,
沿途三三兩兩的運動者,
不遠的大橋及旅遊塔,
享受魚樂的垂釣者,
遠遠的龍舟聲樂,
沒有猛烈的陽光,
清風,
晴空,
舒服寧靜的環境,
綠樹林蔭,
引發無限的想像空間,
生活是可以如此簡單!

Song - 好不容易

太多人失意
太多人忘記
太多人都說愛情失重無影
愛 也許是我的
愛 也許是他的
愛 也需要你做媒

聽說人呻鳴
聽說人分離
聽說人都說愛也無法證明
壞 別在數我的
怪 別在訴她的
再也不視你的美

*我在這裡
帶著你
很值得
一直我會愛著你
心服的
心不捨
一切都不可思議
因為愛的只有你
我已換了自己
我意識到
好不容易 好不容易
好不容易 愛到你

總有人堅定
總有人相信
總有人懂得愛能深刻無底
愛 也許是我的
愛 也許是她的
愛 也許要你做媒

Repeat *

我還有萬事不會
已聽不少無可到老的承諾
世界裡有多少胡不歸
而我有我知己
陪我度過四季
沒有什麼在這一生可求

Repeat *

Song - "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You"

方大同



原唱︰Glenn Medeiros

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead a way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

香港傳統活動列入國家級非物質文化遺產名錄

Four traditional activities from Hong Kong inscribed onto the national list of intangible cultural heritage:

the Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, the Tai O dragon boat water parade, the Tai Hang fire dragon dance and the Yu Lan Ghost Festival of the Hong Kong Chiu Chow community,
長洲太平清醮、大澳端午龍舟遊涌、大坑舞火龍和香港潮人盂蘭勝會.

(1) Cheung Chau Jiao Festival

The activity has been practised for more than 100 years. Cheung Chau was devastated by a plague in the late Qing dynasty. Local residents set up a sacrificial altar in front of Pak Tai Temple to pray to the god Pak Tai to drive off evil spirits. The residents even paraded deity statues through the village lanes. The plague ceased after performance of the ritual. Since then, residents on Cheung Chau have organised a Jiao Festival every year to express thanks to the god for blessing and protecting them. With residents' participation every year, the ritual has been passed down through the generations.

(2) Tai O dragon boat water parade

During the annual Dragon Boat Festival, three fishermen's associations, Pa Teng, Sin Yu Heung and Hap Sim Tong, organise a religious activity known as the dragon boat water parade. On the morning before the festival, members of the associations row their dragon boats to visit four temples in Tai O, where they receive statues of Yeung Hou, Tin Hau, Kwan Tei and Hung Shing. They carry the deity statues back to their associations' hall for worship. On the day of the festival, the deity statues are put on sacred sampans towed by the associations' dragon boats to parade through Tai O's waters. The deity statues are returned to the respective temples after the ritual. This unique religious activity has been preserved for more than a century.

(3) Tai Hang fire dragon dance

The event has been held for more than 100 years. Tai Hang was originally a Hakka village. Legend has it that a plague broke out there in 1880, and to ward off the disease the villagers planted joss sticks in a dragon-shaped form. On the evening of the 14th, 15th and 16th of the eighth lunar month, the villagers paraded the fire dragon through the village and let off firecrackers. The plague ended after the event. From then on, the villagers have performed a three-day fire dragon dance every year to bless themselves.

(4) Yu Lan Ghost Festival of the Hong Kong Chiu Chow community

There are about 1.2 million people originating from Chiu Chow in Hong Kong who actively carry on their traditions. During the ghost festival, which lasts for a month every year, the Chiu Chow people in Hong Kong organise the Yu Lan Festival that starts from the first day of the seventh lunar month and continues until the end of that month. Having been held for more than 100 years, the festival is to offer sacrifices to ancestors and the wandering ghosts in the netherworld. The main activities include burning incense and joss papers, performing live Chinese operas and dramas for ghosts, distributing auspicious rice and auctioning auspicious objects.
