A pot luck gathering was hosted by Pierre Fan \u2013 our board member on Saturday (Nov 29, 2008).).<\/p>\n
Despite the heavy snowfall, a number of board members and alumni members showed up with their home-made dishes or food from their favourite restaurants.\u00a0 It was a warm and casual gathering, we chatted about those good old days at university and current political and economic conditions.\u00a0 We had a good time sharing jokes and yummy recipes.\u00a0 The Wii Sports never fails to be an inspiration to us all.\u00a0 Although mentees seem to do better in more energetic sports such as downhill ski and tennis, mentors took the lead in meditation and yoga.<\/p>\n
We appreciate the hospitality of Pierre and his wife, Teresa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went for a hike on Seaton Trail to appreciate fall colours on Sunday (October 5th, 2008).<\/p>\n
This is a 3.5 hour level 2 hike (according to Bruce Trail Club hike difficulty level).\u00a0 We have enjoyed the company of our usual hiking buddies at Tai Chi Group and Mr. Stephen Siu \u2013 Assistant Director Public Relations at Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office.\u00a0 What a great way to stretch muscles, make new friends and enjoy the great wilderness of Ontario!<\/p>\n
We have also discovered another talent of Stephen, our friend at HKETO.\u00a0 His professional portraits of landscape and colours speak it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>May 4, 2008 Spring Hiking in Rouge River Valley<\/i><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

On May 4 2008 we organized a leisure hike in Rouge River Valley in Scarborough. It was a fine day with cool temperature. There were about 20 of us including alumni and friends gathering at the Glen Rouge Camping Ground. While waiting for the start of the hike, we enjoyed ourselves chatting in the shade of the trees. The hike started at 3.30 p.m. sharp as planned. The hiking trail was generally in good condition except for certain parts where traits of melted snow were found.<\/p>\n
It was spring time dressed up in new leaves and budding wild flowers. Everyone enjoys nature and fresh air after such a long winter. We hiked the woods, ridges, and valleys and walk along the railway track and the river. We found that the three hour journey came to an end so quickly. To continue the fun, most of the participants went to dinner together at the Fisherman Villa Restaurant nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
