On 24 May 2008, 48 alumni family and friends visited New Life Farm at Tuen Mun. The guide explained to us the difference of organic farming to traditional farming. No chemical fertilizer is used, no genetic modified seeds are used, no pesticide is used in organic farming. Vegetables and herbs are grown in the farm and sold in their 5 outlets. Proceeds are given back to the psychiatric rehabilitors who worked in the farm. After visiting the organic farming zone, we sat down for a rest while making a small Basil seedling pot to bring home. We also learnt how to use the farming tools and did experience the strength needed in ploughing the farmland. Every one enjoyed the trip with a bit of sweat and a taste of farming.

Our soccer team participated in the inter-alumni soccer cup tournament held during the carnival on 9 March 2008. There were 8 teams competing for the tournament. In the 1st round, we won 1:0 against MBA AA and entered semi-final against Hong Kong Community College AA. After the 20 min. match, the score was 0:0, so 9-yard fix kick had to take place to determine the winner. Unfortunately we only made 1 score while the opponent made 2 scores. Nevertheless, we did a good job in loosing no score during the two fixed time matches. We also provided a game booth “Engineering 3-link” for players to throw ball into 1 of the basket ball net fixed on 3 separate boards, identifying our 3 streams of modules: “B”, “M” and “O”. The various module names were put on the basket ball backboard. Our booth attracted most players including kids and their parents.

Despite the cold weather, we have 29 alumni friends and family enjoying the firework on board a boat on 8 Feb 2008 (2nd day of Year of Rat). Look at the delicious Poon Choi, we are so hungry! But remember the advice from Food and Evnironment Hygiene Dept., we have to wait until Poon Choi is reheated to 75 deg C. So everyone is looking at the thermometer anxiously. When firewrok started at 8pm, everyone went to upper deck to get an unobstructed view. It was marvellous.
