Wong King Lun

'My dream'- we did many compositions when we were in primary school, and this must be one of the topics we were once given. Are we still working hard to realize our dreams ? Have we achieved what we have already dreamed ? Or perhaps we have forgotten and abandoned our dreams completely ?

When we were young and imagined what we could achieve, we honestly believed that as long as we dared to dream, nothing would be impossible. Thoes were our happy days. Let's not forget what we once believed. Let's not allow reality to sweep away the dreams we once had and destroy our will to make things happen.

We all work hard to make a living. We fight and strive relentlessly to ensure our rice bowls are full.
But if everyone can be caring and compassionate, our society would certainly be more harmonious.
This bowl of rice would be sweeter and more delicious too !

Just like a chess game, we go through ups and downs in our lives. There are hits and missed, joys and sorrows. But with the determination and extraordinary adaptability typical of Hong Kong people, we will all go towards a better future.

Food is the highlight of Hong Kong. We have traditional local food and we have special cushiness from all over the world. Hong Kong is indeed a world-renowned city that lives up to this name as a food paradise.

My artwork portrays my views and feelings about Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a prosperous city where East meets West. Hong Kong provides good education for its people. Hong Kong culture is unique in that we have temples such as Wong Tai Sin Temple and eateries such as tea restaurant "Cha Chaan Teng". The fast pace of life in HOng Kong and our people's indomitable spirit are what make us stand out as thePearl of the Orient.

Our collective memories about Hong Kong centre on its people and what makes it a unique city.
When we think of Hong Kong people, what comes to mind are people who worked hard in the 60s to lay a solid foundation for a harmonious society. And what will also stay in our minds are Hong Kong's special snacks, architecture and customs, together with Hong KOng's can-do spirit.

Hong Kong is a very special place, and there are so many world-renowned attractions that make people around the world long to visit this city - the Pearl of the Orient. But to those of us who were born and bred here, what is closest to our hearts are the people and things that we are most familiar with.

Hong Kong is a colorful city rich in Chinese and Western cultures. It is a paradise for shopping and food. Our buildings display spectacular architectural features, and we have comprehensive infrastructure. On top of all these, Hong Kong people have always been a competent, adaptable and resilient lot.

My artwork is about an athlete.
Once I saw on TV an athlete trying his very best in the race, and I found that his spirit reflects the character of Hong Kong very well.

香港南維書學會第一屆會員作品展

一向都沒有機會接觸到文化藝術的我，今次很開心能夠一次過看了香港南維書學會師生們的參展作品，因為我要替作品攝影關係，所以不單可以看，而且還可用手觸摸著其中的作品，作者的風格和書法的筆勢，可以很清楚地欣賞，令我感受到藝術的價值所在。
由於作品是用很薄的書法用紙來寫的，還得要十分小心處理。

這次展覽由香港詩書聯學會，香港油尖區文化藝術協會和香港南維書學會協力主辦，展覽活動亦得到康文署的補助。

書法展展覽並於四月二日起，一連三天在香港銅鑼灣中央圖書館四號展覽館舉行，歡迎各界人仕蒞臨參觀。

二月寒櫻

對我來說，日本是我的 Dream place，今次去了日本本來沒有想過看寒櫻，「寒櫻」這個名稱多寒冷，多淒滄，欣賞時亦頗費力「忍著寒冷天氣看櫻花的意志力」，挺不是滋味。

沒有太多時間去走遍賞櫻名所，
只在行程順道中走馬看花，兩天共行了20公里。
現在，對日本的認識多了，也對日本的興趣愈來愈濃厚，
最開心的就是去日本的機會將會很多。

四月份的行程大致上已 Plan 好，會再訪東京，接著就是大阪，京都同和歌山，可以的話11月就會是紅葉之旅．．．
