Class 1962
Dear all,
After the Summer break during which we skipped our monthly gathering (Jul/Aug), monthly gathering resumed with a lunch on 17 Sept. Although it wasn't well attended by our standards (14), it was nevertheless a very joyous occasion with lots of chat and laughter after not seeing each other for over 2 months. Happy viewing !
All the best,
Alex

Peter Wong arranged a lunch with some class members on July 10, 2013 when Kevin and Edith Tong were in town. Mr. Anthony Ho was invited to join in the fun.
Kevin briefed his meeting with Tak Mak in layman language on Tak's cancer breakthrough. A lively discussion on how to stay healthy in exercises and how to stay happy doing voluntary services for seniors in homes. Paul meets with Mrs. Choy, wife of Choy Sir, regularly. There was also talk on the upcoming gathering in Hong Kong next year.
The couple left for home the next day.

for what Mr. Ho considers the best closing remarks of functions he has attended. Go to the end and have a laugh on Kelvin's interpretation of Wah Yan Spirit in Chinese.
Mak Tak-Wah is in the news on a "sharpshooter" drug to prevent cancer growth and it is ready for human testing.

Dear all,
Our June gathering for hotpot dinner took place on Sat 8th June and resulted in a record breaking attendance of 28 - strictly WYK alumni and wives !
Maybe the great turn-out was due to the fact that we shall have no more group gatherings until Sept ?
Regardless, another marvelous evening to be added & cherished in all our fading memories ! Enjoy !
Best regards,
Alex

Dear all,
Yes, you guessed it, yet another excellent and tremendously enjoyable fine dining evening has again been had by all of us in Hong Kong in May. See evidence attached !
BTW, the resident photogs' admitted that not ALL dishes were captured in time as some went inside mouths so quickly that they were too slow pulling the trigger ! As the saying goes, believe that and you'll believe anything - ha ha !
See you all locals again in June, plus those in town (York Chen from San Diego, CA was with us).
Happy viewing !
Cheers !

Dear all,
The regular monthly gathering (resumed) for March resulted in a seafood dinner at Lei Yue Mun in a familiar restaurant patronized by our Henry Leung who helped plan the menu and order the fabulous dishes as well as subsidized the total - thank you Henry!
The happy faces seen in the attached photos vouched for our full appreciation! Well done!
Cheers !

Dear all,
Since it was decided that we should have a 蛇年開年 dinner and having learned beforehand that David Koo's just had his Birthday not too long ago in Feb, I thought it might be a good idea to give him a surprise Birthday Party on the night. Thanks to Michael Leung & Ho Pak Lee, my co-conspirators, my plans were executed smoothly without hitches with last minute assistance provided by Ms Redy Ying, David's PA whom we've also invited to thank her for her most excellent assistance during our Reunion.
We managed to keep it a complete secret until dessert time when the birthday cake was wheeled in and the scroll so magnificently written by Master Ho was brought in for all to sign and present to the Birthday boy. The result was a most tremendous and memorable evening enjoyed by all, especially one David Koo (Please click the image to view the album).
Let David express it in his own words :-
Dear all,
This is to report that at last, the 65 Reunion DVDs sets (+ souvenir gifts) we prepared have all been distributed - barring only two still in my possession for delivery in person soon. The rest have gone around the world via various means, from human courier (e.g. to Vancouver) to Post Office Speed-post etc.
For those who did not receive any copies, the reasons are several :-

「港水港墨」展现香港水墨艺術风貌
「港水港墨」，粤语谐音是「讲水讲墨」，部分作品曾于去年在北京中国美術馆举行首展，有意显示香港水墨艺術的当前面貌。香港经历一世纪半的英国管治，社会的总体结构、居民生活习惯、审美品味，与内地早有差距，而在文化艺術方面，经常面对欧风美雨，遂另具香港的本土性，与内地与外国都不相同。

香港中环大会堂展覽時間:2013年1月20日至27日, 上午十時至下午七時
