"回望過去 ● 展望將來"
On the 7 November 2009, University of Alberta Hong Kong Alumni Association (UAAAHK) celebrated it's big 30th birthday at the Hong Kong Bankers Club.
30, it's over the hill and what's next?
At the dinner, we invited two very prominent alumni to the stage - Freddie (Co-founder of the association) and Trevor (current President and also served three other terms) to kick off the celebration. We should be proud, over the last 30 years, Hong Kong alumni traveled far and have outstanding achievements from building bridges to working as top management at leading corporations to doctors serving the public.
Now for the future, we must admit the world is no longer the same. We seek to overcome much more challenges (political, economic, social, etc...) and we all need to work hard to increase our competitiveness to excel in the marketplace. However, at the same time, we should always believe in our dreams, never forget... as our U of A President Indira have said before -
DARE TO DISCOVER ~
Our very special musical talent that evening Barry Chung (85 Econ) is a clear example to follow your dream. Don't let your dream slip away, go far and give it a try, because you never know how things will end up.
Lastly, thanks to many special visitors from the University such as Mr Sean Price (new VP Associate Alumni Affairs) and U of A Museums for their presentations.
UofA Hong Kong family!
Green and Gold forever~
A little poem I wrote last year after the 1 November banquet, let's remember:
REUNION (by Carol Yeung)
The meeting of old and new friends...
The good old memories that it brought back...
The feeling of youth and also old...
The panic and excitement of organising the party*
The laughter...
The tears (joyful)...
*again heartful thanks to UAAAHK President Trevor Mak~
All the best to all UofA grads worldwide and let's continue to
