2010/4/25 Drawing Competition at Kowloon Park

It is the third time that we join this competition. I like the atmosphere that many children drawing at the same place. Tin has been sick for one and a half month. At first, I felt quite boring as I had no aesthetic sense. I did not know how to help them or give them opinions. Suddenly, someone waved to us. It was my colleague who also brought her daughter, Adelaide and friends to join the competition. How lucky I was!

Tyler likes using easel in drawing. Faye also likes, but we have got only one portable one.

Surprisingly, Trevor drew something by his own. I felt so free to take photos.

Whenever Faye is asked to look at the camera, she likes making strange face. Tyler likes smiling broadly.

IMG_1724 IMG_1726

She was very serious in drafting her work. The theme of the competition was ‘A gift to the children living in poverty’. Faye gave them a house.

Trevor gave them bus, apple and orange. In fact, we drew some apples and oranges in his homework the night before while bus was his favourite.

Tyler looked very professional. Many passers-by stopped to see and take photos. Some tourists were very curious and watched us for a long time.

I could not take many equipments. Therefore, Faye and Trevor had to sit like this. I felt quite sorry because it must be very tired for them to keep their backs straight.

'See my masterpiece!’

IMG_1767 IMG_1768 IMG_1769

After Trevor finished his artist role, he became a photographer.

He captured how I helped Tyler clean his fingers.

IMG_1772 IMG_1774

He helped Tyler record his work.

IMG_1775

He took silly pictures as well.

IMG_1781 IMG_1784

Of course, there was one for Faye.

This is the site that we settled. Afterwards, we went to the restaurant next the Cultural Centre to have lunch with Adelaide and her friends. Trevor took a picture of the hour view at the restaurant.

Tin joined us for lunch. Afterwards, Tyler went somewhere with him while Faye, Trevor and I swam at TST. What a busy day!

2010/4/8-10 廣州雲浮-農村學校體驗遊及建設圖書館

這是一個奇怪的親子旅行,我帶飛飛參加卓君學校的親子旅行,基於好一些原因,卓君並沒有出席,每每有家長問起的時候,我都覺得十分靦腆。

我們一早到達學校,然後乘搭旅遊車去深圳灣口岸,過關後再跟其他自行前往的家庭會合,再一起乘旅遊車去雲浮。首先我們參觀造船厰,厰房內有不同的船隻模型,厰房外有造船的大型機。我們乘坐旅遊車參觀戶外的地方,飛飛對某些大型機器都有興趣,不過最後她還是對自己的私人隨身物品最感興趣。

參觀完厰房之後,我們到下榻的酒店放低行李,然後在附近的街道走走,時近清明,這西式麵包店推出「酬神金豬」,造型相當有趣。接著便到酒樓晚膳。

第二天早餐後,我們便去云浮市都楊鎮楊柳小學,為他們建設圖書館。本來的課室空空如也,只有電燈、窗簾等基本設施,卓君學校的家長出錢出力,送出書架、桌椅、畫架、畫作、毛毛公仔及大量圖書,並身體力行,親自搬運、裝嶔、上油及上架。

IMG_1521 IMG_1522 IMG_1523 IMG_1526 IMG_1527 IMG_1536 IMG_1538 IMG_1539 IMG_1542 IMG_1543

作為家教會委員的我,知道在這間房的留守的家長需要完成的工作分配給不同的家長後,我便負責將圖書分類。飛飛及幾個年紀較小的孩子協助我把圖書運送到負責點書的兩位家長處。

IMG_1544 IMG_1545 IMG_1547

最後,所有小朋友分成兩條運輪人鍊,將書本有條理地放上書架。

IMG_1550 IMG_1564

這兩位小男孩跟飛飛同年。飛飛指著我們送出的九個Hello Kitty and Hello Daniel毛毛公仔的其中一個。

IMG_1577 IMG_1582 IMG_1584

完成工作後,飛飛安靜地坐下看圖書館內的圖書。

IMG_1588 IMG_1589 IMG_1594

接著我們去探訪楊柳小學其中一位六年級學生的農家,並在她的家裏吃午飯。從學校走去她的家,大槪要二十分鐘,沿途都是稻田。

IMG_1595 IMG_1596 IMG_1598

曉意的家的煮食爐是燒柴的,現在很少機會看得到,就連我的祖母也只用柴煲湯,煮食還是用石油氣爐較方便。

IMG_1600 IMG_1603

去程的時候,飛飛拖著我不放,但一抵步,她跟曉意不知怎地混得十分熟落。

 IMG_1604 IMG_1609

曉意的家人十分客氣,煮了幾大碟餸菜招呼我們,而且還有一大煲美味甘甜的菜乾湯。

IMG_1615 IMG_1617 IMG_1620 IMG_1621

離開的時候,曉意的家人送了一大袋菜乾給我們,還有一本書及qq錢罌及飛飛。

IMG_1622 IMG_1626

最後我們返回圖書館來將大合照。飛飛又發現兩個我們送去的Hello Kitty毛毛公仔。

IMG_1627 IMG_1629 IMG_1630

原來云浮是中國大陸重要的石材出產地,離開云浮市的路上,幾乎所有店舖也是石材批發店。

IMG_1647

黃昏時我們到達廣州。我們先去新華書城參觀及購書,晚飯後,我們去各自去北京路四處走走,逛逛商店,吃吃牛雜及腸粉。

IMG_1648 IMG_1649 IMG_1651

第三天早餐後,我們便去廣州大學城區的科學園參觀。這個科學園十分偏僻,因此開業兩年也只有少量遊客參觀過,展品仍運作良好,損壞程度不高,比香港的科學館,更加值得參觀。

IMG_1656 IMG_1662

那裏有幾個解釋鐘擺的展品,試過及經我闡述之後,飛飛也知道鐘擺的「速度」跟長度有關,但跟重量無關。

IMG_1665 IMG_1668

我玩完「多軸椅」之後,到飛飛也想試坐「兒童多軸椅」,易生玩過後便輪到她。

IMG_1673 IMG_1676 IMG_1678

(左)這大風扇旨在讓飛飛感受穿上機翼後的浮力。(右)這架單車讓飛飛在熒光幕模擬太空漫游。

IMG_1683 IMG_1684

這張片沒有放錯錯,飛飛是倘在展品上,感受在月球跳躍。

IMG_1685

還有參觀了好一些展品及示範,最後我們在商店買了一件機動恐龍玩具給卓君。

IMG_1688 IMG_1689

接著我們去嶺南印象園午膳及參觀。午膳時為生日的小朋友興祝。

IMG_1693 IMG_1696

用糖來做手工,既可吃,又可欣賞,飛飛十分想要一支,目不轉睛地看著。

IMG_1701 IMG_1703 IMG_1706 IMG_1709 IMG_1710

我們觀看皮影戲,不錯。

IMG_1712

飛飛十分喜愛跟粵劇有關的東西,所以我們要拍攝洗手間的名牌。

IMG_1714 IMG_1715

她也喜歡中國的傳統手藝,所以我們買了一套剪紙。最後我們在願望樹掛上祝福便登上旅遊車離園返港去。

IMG_1716 IMG_1719

這個旅程十分難忘。
