Interview in Hi Tech Weekly (20060525)

There's an interview with me in this week's HiTech Weekly (Vol. 397, 25 May 2006).

It's a nice interview (I don't know why but most of the reporters who I've interviewed with have been kind to me ;-). One of the things I like about this interview is that it doesn't focus on our 'kids'. Perhaps because it's a tech magazine, the interview instead focuses on my blog, photography and computer interests. They even photographed my 1 million candle power torch!

Yet another publication will be releasing an interview with me about my blog and camera in the near future. I'll let you all know when that happens.

Hello Hokwokwing,

I just saw your interview from the magazine. It's great.I'm also fear to manage so many digital photos too, specially with my slow speed computer.
And your photos and words are great too. Look for your geat jobs/ photos for coming.

cheers,

Anson

Hello Greg,

i have always wondered about the fluent cantonese speaking caucasian in all those tvb series. i always thought u would have grown up in hk to be able to speak so fluently, but after reading about u (and discovering that u have a blog) little do i know that u went to live in hk in your early 20s. it must have been a great effort to pick up a foreign language so well as an adult, very impressive.

i did figured out that you're an australian from your accent when speaking in english. right now i am writing to u from sydney as i live and grew up here.

you're the first tv actor i've written to, as i know alot of artists would just have their assistant replying to fan mails. if u do reply, i am sure it would be from u personally.

i remember that yrs ago u starred in a hk movie (yes movie not tv series) with another caucasian, cant remember the name of the movie it was long time ago, but think its a comedy. i remember u had quite a major role there or was even the main character? after that i never really see u in such roles again, pity. but u kept yourself in the industry throughout all these yrs. keep it up.

halo..
I've read your interview in "The Sun"..
Your blog is fascinating..
I like it because of the english content (i'm in f3)
They reflects both your learning experiences and your life in HK. (ha)
I am really appreciate that you try hard in learning cantonese.
Some of my classmates do not put much efforts on learning after they had
faced difficulties.
And I would like to ask you some questions .
Do you have any nickname and are you called "hokwokwing" in Australia?
How to learn english efficiently? (I don't know many vocabularies)
I know that you have 10 dogs. Do your family like them all?

I am looking for your feedback..

dear gregory:
have you ever read over this comment, your hardwork influence others very much :

河先生

你好﹐我應該系留言中年紀最大的一位。我系一位普通的父親﹐有個貪玩又唔聽話唔讀書既仔﹐3年前一家移民澳洲。我本人英文十分有限﹐可能系愛仔心切﹐自己達唔到既理想就十分希望我個仔可以繼續。我當然好希望他可以好似你一樣﹐有流利的英文﹐上名牌的大學。可惜偏偏天意弄人﹐我兒子從來就要同我作對。黎澳洲之後﹐他因為害怕講錯﹐而從來不敢開口同人講英文﹐看既全部系中文八掛雜誌﹐玩既全部系中國唐人。對於呢種情況﹐我十分擔懮﹐但琴晚起﹐我好感激你既文章令我發現我既兒子有了深刻的變化。

琴晚﹐我兒子同樣上網看一周刊﹐我知他的習慣﹐八卦D野﹐他最內行﹐他仲好恨做狗仔隊。大概隔左2個鐘﹐我發現我兒子眼紅紅走出房間﹐走來客廳一手講2歲大的金毛犬抱入沖涼房。我發覺奇怪﹐走進他房間﹐我發覺電腦上正顯示著你的文章﹐我一眼就認得出你﹐儘管我叫唔出你的名字﹐但我好肯定你就系無線個個講中文講的好流利的鬼佬。我一口氣講你的文章看完﹐心情激動﹐對于異國他鄉的讀者﹐感慨尤其深刻。深受感動。我也估到我個仔點解眼紅紅不發一言。

看完你的文章﹐我切夜難眠﹐心情尤其不能平復﹐我問心個句﹐真系佩服你的勇氣同毅力。系澳洲去到香港一個複雜的花花世界﹐你仲抱持住自己的信念﹐善良和原則﹐真令我感到佩服。可想﹐在你學習中文期間﹐系如何頑強的克服一切困難。我真系感概一周刊出左咁多年﹐終於有番D有教育意義既野﹐你的文章寫的簡單﹐直接﹐真誠而且深刻。

今日一早﹐我兒子就跑去library借左一大堆學習英文的書﹐我發現他好似真系用心被你啟發。我系他床頭發覺你文章有些鼓勵的字句﹐貼在他床頭一個隱蔽的角落。正因為一個無聲無臭的巨大變化﹐使我不得不來到你的網站留言﹐發表我的看法。

你系青少年學習的榜樣﹐一種堅持﹐一種毅力。澳洲人為你而自豪!你父母為你而自豪!

我同我太太真誠祝福你和你的家人﹐無論在香港﹐澳洲﹐一切如意﹐萬事順利!

好好努力!

彭氏夫婦

其實一直都好欣賞你
你比我的感覺係個好善良的人 :)
雖然tvb成日都只係找你去做警司,外國來中國的使者等角色
但我都好想睇到你做d普通人的角色
請 繼續努力

你好 ! 我今年 19 歲 , 自少便是你的影迷
很佩服你學習語言的天份與毅力
也十分欣賞你對演出的熱誠

一個外國人在華人地區 , 能夠做到如此令人難忘
能夠這樣令中西文化交融 , 這是你的成功 !

希望你繼續努力 , 也希望你盡早有屬於自己的代表作
香港有很多人支持你的

Hi kwokwing,

It's the first time I have visited your BLog.
I am very impressed. You are so kind to animals! I like the photo of "little White" too!

Keep on going....I am very appreciated your hardworking on learning. Luckily your kids has a good model!
Hope I can see your shown on TV or movie soon.

With my best wishes to you and your familiy
Jessie

Hello! I really like your Blog. The photos are good.
Do keep it up!
Your Blog is so different from the blog of other artists. Their blog talking nonsense.
It may be a good idea to introduce your blog to the secondary students and show them what is the actual meaning of Blog.

Hi Greg
Watching 上海傳奇 at the moment just over half way thru the series..dont really want to comment on the storyline...
just wondering if there was anything interesting incidents that happened during the filming process that you can share?!
Also when was the time when you were back in Australia? Do you miss this place?

再一次睇到你既non-acting訪問真好,可以更加深認識幕後的你。
(記得上次睇到你係係都市閒情上面關於寵物的訪問,都差不多半年之前了。)

P.S. 推介一個 ATV 既資訊節目俾大家,個節目名叫 "五色的眼睛"。係逢周日晚9:30播出
該節目主要係訪問一班住係香港既外國人。(全廣東話對話)
我覺得係一個都幾唔錯既一個節目黎架!
仲可以 online stream 黎睇添。 http://www.hkatv.com/infoprogram/06/hkcolours/

Hi Kwok Wing,
I know your blog from the Sun, a newspaper. Like other Hong Kong people, I have watched many TV Drama presented by you. You attitude towards learning chinese should be highly appreciated, and your preformance are very nice. ^.^
By the way, On the 30th, August, 2005 , I saw you taking photos in the HK DisneyLand, am I right?
Hope to see your early reply.
