Mr. Gordon Truscott


Mr. Gordon is a friend of my dad. His full name is Mr. Gordon Truscott. They both used to teach English subject together in Pak Kau College. They were both good friends, I believe. Well, Mr. Gordon is a Canadian. He is 55 years old with a bald head at the front. Well, we can imagine how old he is… Also he speaks a lot. But, even though he speaks a lot his many talks are interesting.

It was Friday, 19 April, 2013 in the morning when my dad said, “Today, we are going to meet one of my friend and you are going to come with me. I will introduce you with him.” And at the evening we went to Yuen Long Landmark plaza at the Pizza Hut where we met Mr. Gordon. When we went there, he was waiting for us in a corner table. We were escorted to his table by the staffs. We sat down together and I introduced myself to him and vice versa. Then we ordered some pizzas and some drinks. We started talking. Well, actually, he started talking and we were listening to him. He told us that he writes letters to the pregnant women in the prison. And he also said that he writes 5 letters a day to the women in the prison. And he also shared different stories with us. He also said that he had been to Disneyland several times because his brother-in-law works there. He asked if I had gone to the Disneyland by any chance. I replied, “No, I have not gone to the Disneyland but I wanted to there.” Just then he asked me if I wanted to go to the Disneyland with him. I answered positively. So he said that he would buy the ticket for the two of us for the next day. Also we had some works. So, we finished the work and returned home by biding goodbye to Mr. Gordon, for now… I was very much excited for the trip to Disneyland. The next day I went on an MTR to Mei Foo where I met Mr. Gordon. And from there, we went to the Disneyland Resort by changing two MTRs. We reach the Resort and we spent the whole day at the Resort. And at evening Mr. Gordon even bought present for my brother. And we went on a same MTR where Mr. Gordon got off at Lai King and I got off at Hong Kong Station where my dad picked me up and we returned home on bus.

Well, it was such a pleasure to have met Mr. Gordon. I had the most exciting time of my life at the Hong Kong Disneyland with Mr. Gordon. I heatily thank you, Mr. Gordon...!!!!! :)

I Dream!

Secured future is not that I dream of.   To travel across the land, To meet and interact, To explore and see, See through the many eyes. To capture a story and Send it knocking at the doors, So that folks can have something to read with a morning cup of tea. To meet the star-crossed lover, Experience a timeless love, And recreate a new Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. To picture a portrait of aging time, As people retell the name and fame. Ends a heroic tale of the teller in a slumber of life. In my sound slumber, I dream........ -Tong Man

Recipe For A Sound Slumber??

Image
Get up early. And I mean, really early. You feel cold? Go and take a shower. Not hot, but cold shower. [You can't? Why can't you? A simple lad can get up early and attend his part-time job, so why can't you?] Stretch your body. And stretch like it's gonna tear up. 'Cause you've got a long day. No, don't make breakfast. Dress up. And change your hairstyle into more of an exotic. Carry a bag with all the supplies you need. Carry your camera. Put on an extra jacket if it gets a little too cold. Put on your boot and get out into the streets. Get yourself some milk and sandwich on the way.(Make that two sandwich and milk) Talk with the lad who sells you milk and sandwich early in the morning. Know his story. Take his picture, smile and thank him. Get on a bus and eat on the way. Talk with strangers on the bus. Interact. Capture their stories and photos. Get out of the valley and into the wild. Though not faraway deep in the wild, go into the wild.[You...

Young and Dumb!?!

“‘ We were once young and dumb.’ It has become such a cliché that people tend to visualize them synonymous to each other. Sure, back in the days, I was young and dumb, but, that trait led me to various adventures and experiences. I have travelled across the land, narrow and wide, climbed my way up to some ferocious mountains, sailed across the dark deep sea, even jumped into it. I have travelled to many foreign lands, witnessing first-hand their indigenous culture and tradition, and spoke many tongues. I watched their devotion and practices in the name of their God. I have walked the busy streets into the dark alleys and into the knocking shop. I have climbed up the ferocious dragon’s back 1 . I have rested my feet in a cave sitting beside a fire. I survived and came out of a thundering rainy season, a desert hot summer.  I have gone to the suburb seeking, begging for food and water. I have travelled far and wide exchanging currencies and wealth. I have...
