We work creatively. From organisational storytelling to events collaboration - let's work together!
"There are only 500 golf carts on Discovery Bay, and I run one of the two shops where you can get them repaired."
“Did you know that firing of the Noon Day Gun has been going on for over a hundred and fifty years in Hong Kong? The story goes something like this. The gun used to be fired every time our tai-pan was seen to be approaching from sea - not just to salute and welcome him, but also to alert people that the boss is back! One time, a British naval officer got offended by the loud noise, as the practice was normally only reserved for army or government officials, not tai-pans. As a result, Jardines was given a penalty to fire the gun every day at noon, in perpetuity - and so the tradition carried on!”
“We fire the gun rain or shine, even in the middle of a typhoon - as long as it is safe to do so. I have many fond memories from my army days. We would do ambush and surveillance training out in the mountains - in Sai Kung, Hoi Ha, Pat Sin Leng. I remember so clearly the first time I got to go on a helicopter - the cabin door was not fully shut and I was so terrified that I would fall out! We would also catch smugglers at the border with Mainland China. My day to day life is a lot more relaxed and low-key these days. I like to go to Ap Liu Street Market in Sham Shui Po to look at second hand goods, and generally take things easy. I love my job and I want to be carrying out this duty for as long as I can!”
「你知唔知香港嘅午炮已經放咗超過150年喇?聽講背後係有段故嘅。以前當有人見到大班埋岸就會放炮,唔止係為咗歡迎同埋向佢敬禮,仲係提醒啲人,老細返嚟喇﹗有一次,有個英國軍官不滿啲炮聲太大聲,因為禮炮本身應該只係用嚟向海軍或者政府人員致敬,大班係冇份。就係咁,怡和洋行被罰每日中午放炮,一路放到而家!」
「我哋無論好天落雨都會放炮,就算係打風,只要係安全都會照做。我當兵嘅日子有好多美好回憶呀。我哋會喺山頭度埋伏同埋監視訓練,喺西貢、海下、八仙嶺嗰頭。我仲幾記得第一次坐直升機,度門冇閂實,幾驚我會跌落去呀。我哋仲會喺大陸邊境堵截偷渡客。而家我嘅日子輕鬆平淡好多囉。我鍾意去深水埗鴨寮街睇二手嘢,好多嘢都冇乜所謂。我鍾意自己嘅工作,希望可以有幾耐做幾耐啦!」
