雙喜臨門 Double Happiness arrived at the door






昨天到圖書館上書法課, 遲到10分鐘, 靦腆進入課室, 看見眾同學圍坐桌旁, 耐心聆聽.  中間坐著一位嘉賓講者. 經何定鋼師兄介紹, 原來是陸天言先生.


陸先生是江苏无錫人, 无锡市横云书画院书画师、著名书法家. 陸先生向大家淺談學習書法心得, 大家都聽到入神.


此時, 圖書館突然被推開, 走進來的, 是位拖著黑色皮革箱, 一頭濃密銀髮, 驟眼以為是荷李活的李察基爾, 定神一看, 原來是余老師. 眾同學看見久違了的老師, 當然高兴. 余老師原來當天早上才抵布利斯班, 下午馬上來上課, 批改同學書法功課.


這邊廂陸天言老師在即席揮毫, 示範棣書, 篆書和草書, 只見陸老師隨心幾筆, 就完成作品, 還細心在下款提名.


陸先生到訪及余文賢老師回來都使書法班同學興奮, 大家能從書法前輩中領略書法心得, 都是寶貴的經驗, 對同學們的學習大有裨益.



This week, we are fortunate to have 2 calligraphers coming to our class. One is Mr Lu tien-yan, famous calligrapher from Wu Xi, China. He generously demonstrated the calligraphy art to us.


Then our calligraphy teacher, Mr Allen Yu, gave us a surprise visit. He flew back from Taiwan that morning. Once he settled down, he came to the class.



We are glad to have the opportunities to learn from different teachers, who are eager to share their art experience with us.

羊年大吉 Happy Goat Year










To celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Goat, the Orchid Pavilion gave out free lucky couplets in Sunnybank Hills Library on the 16, 17 and 18 February.


During the 3 days, we located near the entrance of the library, with brushes, ink and red paper scrolls ready. We prepared some couplets beforehand, so people walked past our stall and picked the ones they liked. Some wanted special blessings and we wrote for them accordingly. Those who did not know the Chinese characters would ask us the meaning of them. We explained to them and they then chose the ones best suited their new year wishes.

They loved the red scrolls very much and took them home happily.



為慶祝乙未羊年,  <蘭亭雅聚>成員一連三天: 二月十六, 十七, 十八日(年廾八, 廾九, 三十),   Sunnybank Hills 圖書館寫揮春, 送給大家.



我們的攤位在接近圖書館入口, 有興趣幫忙的組员事先帶備毛筆墨硯, 到時即席揮毫, 有些则為街坊介紹及解釋. 我們也預先寫好各式祝福的揮春, 給大家選擇. 有些街坊希望我們寫特別的祝福語, 我們都樂意做「黃大仙」-----有求必應. 大家都開開心心拿揮春回家.
