Mac啱啱宣佈咗今年嘅Winter term會延後一個禮拜，換言之會多一個星期假😮😗雖然疫情都仲好嚴竣，但希望大家都可以好好利用呢個長假期啦😌😌

Mac has just announced that classes in winter term will be delayed one week, which means we are getting an extra week of holiday!! We hope everyone will have a good time during this extended winter break and stay safe!!🙂

Dear members of the McMaster community, While we work our way through the fall semester we have also been focused on how we can make sure that the winter 2021 semester delivers the best possible programs for our students while supporting their wellness and mental health. We also want to ensure that....

又到11月11號啦！ 唔知大家知唔知道今日係咩日子呢😉？係雙十一購物節呀🎁, 定係光棍節呢💁‍♂️？其實除咗以上兩樣外, 今日仲係一個好有意義嘅日子———和平紀念日（ remembrace day）. 呢日係英聯邦國家為咗紀念兩次世界大戰中陣亡士兵為目的的嘅日子。咁呢一日香港有咩關係🤔？等我喺呢度同各位同學仔講少少啦：

1941年12月, 日本陸軍一邊由北區揮軍南下, 一面空襲啟徳機場。當時英國已經撤離大部分平民,並集結印裔英兵, 華人英兵, 加拿大兵, 及正規英兵，正式展開香港保衛戰💥。各種地理及軍事嘅原因影響, 加上日軍猛烈嘅攻勢；即使士兵們奮力反抗, 香港就係18日後由港督正式宣佈投降🏳️, 開始三年零八個月嘅淪陷時期。加拿大軍係呢次戰爭中死傷慘烈, 有啲部隊嘅死亡率甚至係百分之百， 加軍為咗紀念呢場戰役, 喺戰時有一個口號喺兵士之間流傳—— Remember Hong Kong.

加軍及各國兵士葬身異地, 為香港捐軀✝️。咁多位同學仔今日除咗正常作息之外，不如花少少時間紀念下佢啦！

永志不忘 🌺

November 11 is a very special day, and I’m sure most of you know why it is special. Is it because PS5 will be released in less than a day🤩? YES. But other than that, today is also remembrance day. You may ask, “How does Remembrance Day relate to Hong Kong🤔?”, and today we will talk a little bit about what happened 80 years ago:

In December 1941, the Imperial Japanese invaded Hong Kong. As the Japanese army started to bomb the airport and march down to the city center, British, Canadian, and armed forces from other countries tried to fight the Japanese back💪. Although they fought courageously, the armed forces could not hold back the invasion. Almost all Canadian soldiers are killed during this battle. To remember this battle, the slogan “remember Hong Kong” was passed among the troops.

Canadian and other soldiers died defending Hong Kong✝️. Before today ends, why don’t we spend some time remembering these brave soldiers who died fighting for us?

Lest we forget🌺

又到左一個sem 一次嘅reading week 啦🥳！好多新同學都會想趁住呢個唔使上堂嘅禮拜六去見吓朋友或者屋企人🏠. 不過都唔好唔記得多倫多而家有限聚令, 喺餐廳內食飯係禁止㗎🙅‍♀️❌❌❌！希望大家可以趁住呢個thanksgiving, 喺繁忙嘅課業中放鬆啲啦😉！（或者補返未上嘅堂🤭）

Reading week is finally here! We know many of you wanted to hang out with your friends and family during Thanksgiving, but don’t forget that dining in restaurants is prohibited in Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa regions! (Due to COVID😞) Stay safe, and take a break from all the stress from school! (Or you can revisit the lectures that you missed🤭)

【中秋講故!!🌝🌝 Story behind Mid-Autumn Festival 】
話咁快又到中秋節啦！唔知道各位同學食唔食月餅嘅呢🥮？不如我哋趁呢個機會重溫下呢個驚天地、泣鬼神嘅故仔啦！相傳王母娘娘因后羿射日有功🌞,賜予后羿長生不老仙丹💊。但係后羿唔捨得食, 就留咗俾佢老婆嫦娥保管。有惡賊知道嫦娥有仙丹後, 就舞刀弄劍威脅嫦娥交出嚟😠。嫦娥情急之下就吞咗粒仙丹。突然間, 嫦娥開始飄飄浮浮🤸‍♂️。知道自己無法再留喺地球,但係又唔捨得后羿,就唯有駐足同地球最近嘅月球🌕, 每年月亮最圓最大嘅時候就同后羿一同相聚。
無論你係外國定係喺香港都好, 都同屋企人講聲中秋節快樂啦！🥮🥮🥮🥮祝大家中秋節快樂！

Its Mid-autumn festival! I know most of you have heard of mooncakes🥮 , but did you know there’s a romantic story behind this tasty little pastry😍?
STORY TIME!!!!
In ancient China, there were 10 suns in the sky☀️☀️☀️. The heat killed all the crops and it was unlivable. A majestic archer Hou Yi steps up and shot down 9 of the 10 suns🎯. The goddess then rewarded him with the Elixir of Life💊 . Hou Yi let his wife Chang E to keep it in a secret place, but some bandits wanted the elixir too and tried to rob her. Chang E drank it in a panic and suddenly, her body started to float🤸‍♂️. In order to stay close with her husband, Chang E landed on the closest star to Earth —— the moon🌕. Since then, Hou Yi will set a table at night, and dine with her wife on the moon every year.
So, gather your friends and family, and celebrate mid autumn festival!🥮🎁🎉🎊🎈

相信有好多朋友因為各種原因留咗係香港或者唔係Hamilton，而HKSA都好難係呢個疫情期間舉行活動😭
希望大家可以花一兩分鐘完成下面嘅google form，等我地可以了解吓大家嘅狀況同準備下Winter sem嘅活動。任何方面嘅意見都十分歡迎 ! 嚟緊會有更多嘅資訊，請繼續留意我哋嘅FB page啦🙏🏻

March break is over and we are back to school!! Unfortunately, most of the courses will be online which means we cannot meet personally this semester. In order to support everyone in this community, we are conducting a survey on this issue so we can prepare for the winter semester. It will take just a couple of minutes and all thoughts are welcome. Stay tuned for further updates! 🤗
