The learning journey 学习之旅 (3)

The second day started early. We have breakfast in the hotel, so no Dim Sum today. Alas, second day in Hong kong without Dim Sum !

Today we were going to the Diocesan Center next to the Cathedral, which housed many diocesan organisations and commissions.

We visited :
1. Diocesan Catechetical Center (DCC)
2. The Catholic News (Kong Kao Po)
3. Diocesan Audio Visual Center
4. Caritas Social Care
5. Caritas Family Service

DCC Director Amelia Lau
要理中心主任刘彤萱女士



I was most impressed by the Audio Visual Center. It staffed with many professional technical staff and modern equipment. It put to shame our KL Archdiocesan Communication Center, which equally well staff and funded in its own big building. It is like comparing an Arabian stallion to an ass, literally. I wondered when our Bishops went to Hong Kong, they must be wearing dark dark glasses and patronised the toilets only. Compared with Hong Kong, our toilets are bigger because we have big land and space. We are proud of it!

We were briefed by the AV Center Director, Dr. Yung (pic right). The Hong Kong Diocesan AV Center produced a DVD monthly with pastoral theme, such as St. Paul the Apostle, Eucharist... and so on, to be distributed to all parishes in the diocese. As for our own Communication Center, it was famously known to produce calender yearly late and on sale at the end of December or January only. Besides the calender, I saw nothing useful coming to my parish, or other parishes as well.

Dr. Yung will be coming to Malaysia in the middle of October. I am meeting him to discuss copy right for DVD production and distribution in Malaysia.

Our second day's activities ended late. However, few of us have the opportunity to have roast duck and local dishes for dinner. No goose drumstick... sold out! So I have no Dim Sum and goose drumstick on the second day in Hong Kong. But I am satisfied with the roast duck, char siu and roast pork.

It was the last night in Hong Kong, so a few of us decided to "roam the street". Stephen of Singapore said he would like to have HongKong tongsui (dessert). After some searching, we found one very cosy dessert shop. Josehp Lim, our KL Chairman said eating tongsui together was the most happy time.


香港的第二天活动很早就开始,我们在酒店吃了早餐就匆匆出发了。啊呀,在香港的第二天,还没尝到香港点心。

今天我们到主教座堂隔壁的教区中心作拜访活动。在这中心里,有好多个组织设在这里。我们拜访了:

1. 教区教理中心(DCC)
2. 公教报编辑部
3. 教区影视中心
4. 明爱社会关怀部
5. 明爱家庭服务部

我印象最深刻的是教区影视中心。它有着许多专业的技术员工及现代的仪器设备。吉隆坡总教区也有本身的传播中心,也是有雇用专业员工及丰足的资金,且拥有本 身建筑物,但相形之下,它的表现令人汗颜。这就如一匹阿拉伯种马和一头驴子的相比。我倒是很好奇,我们的主教们,到香港教区探访或公办时,是戴著很黑很黑 的墨镜吗?他们只会到厕所而已?当然我们的厕所因有很宽的土地和空间,一定比香港的厕所来的大。这也是可以赢以为荣!

该中心主任容博士(上图戴帽者)给我们讲解了中心的宗旨及制作方向。香港教区影视中心每个月都会采用一个牧灵主题,制作一个DVD,分派到每个堂区。如配合圣保禄年而制作有关他的事迹,或有关圣体等的短片等。而我们教区的传播中心则是以每年制作日历,迟到十二月尾或一月才售卖而出名。除了这日历,我没看到有用的东西来到我的堂区,或其他堂区。

容博士将在十月中来马来西亚。我将会和他面洽有关DVD版权及在马来西亚制作及发行事宜。

我们第二天的活动也是到晚上才结束,但我们几个还是能够几挤出时间,好好的享用了一顿以烧鸭及本地菜肴的晚餐。因太夜了,烧鹅腿早已售馨。在香港的第二天,我没吃到点心和烧鹅腿,但总算吃了美味的烧腊,晚上可以好好的睡了。

今晚是在香港的最后一晚,我们几个决定去夜荡。国泰说要吃香港著名的糖水。我们在庙街的附近逛了好久,终于找到了一间糖水店,大家都很高兴。恒毅说吃糖水是最开心的事。除了大家一起分享之外,最重要的是大家都心情好。这个是当然的。朋友相聚,当然高兴,还有,你有看过人家臭著脸来吃糖水的吗?



We have roast duck, and Hong Kong famous Tong Shui(dessert) also...

我们不止吃了烧腊,也尝试了著名香港糖水。
