Edmond Wong spent the morning at the hospital where his Form5 master, was visiting his sister. He bought lunch for the group in the cafeteria.
Dr. Pancras C. Wong, Senior Research Fellow at Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, is the recipient of the 2013 Robert R. Ruffolo Career Achievement Award in Pharmacology. The award was established in recognition of the contributions made to drug discovery and development by Dr. Ruffolo, former President of Research and Development at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, and is given to recognize the scientific achievements of scientists who are at the height of their careers and who have made significant contributions to any area of pharmacology. Dr. Wong has dedicated 30 years to drug discovery research and has co-discovered two breakthrough medicines in two different therapeutic areas.
[Presentation of the award took place on April 20, 2013, after the Boston lockdown.]
上場理應無父子，瀟灑從容就戰場，錢財身外何足惜，同門耍樂不為名。 (David)
同門約局聚香江，麈噹單騎闖廬峰，王寇决於笑談間，成敗不足論英雄 。(Thomas)
同門約局在香江，攻城大戰陷四方，輸贏勝敗何足懼，衛生麻將亦健康。 (David)
風起雲湧三個東，雀王衛冕暫成功，談笑風流天下事，樂也融融在其中。 (David)
一心以為鴻鹄至，二話不說独闖關，三大鱷魚非善類，四方城下見真章，五圈過後力不逮；
六神無主苦欠計，七底輸光真悽惨，八方好友鞭難及，九天玄女亦搖頭，十分無瘾認低威。 (Thomas)
一心二用未為艰，三方四將齐闖关，午後六圈宜抖抖，
七筒八索食糊难，久久未和心焦躁，拾下拾下取道還。(Terence)
一姐不如二姐嬌，三寸金蓮四寸腰，買得五六七錢粉，裝成八九十分嬌；
十九月夜八分光，七宮仙女渡六郎，五更四角敲三點，二人同睡一張床。(Don)
噹 聲一響齊起步，塵 煙蒙混竹戰場， 拍 拍雀聲擾耳導，寧 輸七底免張揚。 (Pius 皮雅士)

四月十二號晚到港。下榻培正對面沙士大酒店。
將會在香港逗留一星期。漫無目的，食下嘢，打下波，見見你們。
絕對希望大總管不向大會宣布。噹只愛小組討論。李志明和廖議員可以。

周兄身材短小精桿。自小如此。今次見他。更有微微打橫生的催勢。梳半個尤伯連納頭，留整齊的奇勒基寶小鬍子。鬍鬚有黑也有白。黑邊小圓圈眼鏡襯托出一個經驗豐富的精準工程師。
周兄的性格與他硬朗身體成反比例。身體越硬朗，他越「軟淋淋」。天生好脾氣。他是個善良人。
席間，話題轉入各人兒女。Peter Wu 一對千金在哥倫比亞讀書。Peter 讀書？一定是嫂夫人的功勞。
輪到周兄回答，他笑吟吟：「我未結婚，冇老婆。」
噹粗魯：「點解？你搞乜春？」
初七人日，舊時同學見面。噹最愛見到的是同班周錦昌，Robert。與他在同一城市生活幾十年，見面最多三次。華仁同學四十週年聚會。我去信邀請同行，可惜他「扒龍船」撞期，捨香港去澳洲。
周兄條件甚是優厚。幫Long Beach政府做工程師廿多年。Long Beach 是西部大港口。貨船排隊進港，city 收買路錢財源滾滾。周兄有命可以做到一百歲。
Pius 曾經告我。他夫婦為周兄女朋友事操心。介紹了多位女仔女人給他，不幸嘴型不對。不是周兄不愛人家，就是人家不愛周兄。
噹古惑嘢開始：「現代好男兒。求取配偶有年齡formula。男方年齡除二加七！」
女士驚訝。男士則暗中喝彩。果然是工程師。識計算。周兄反應快：
「可否除二加五？」
噹：「你唔好貪心。同我斤斤計較。六十除二加七等於三十七。」
噹心想，條友仔想食咗人隻車咩。
講下講下，周兄突然問：「可唔可以就咁除三？」
看見周兄如此幽默。噹轉正經。問：「你可講笑嗎？我想同你寫段求偶文。求助於七一屆同學。一來希望幫助你搵個伴侶，二來也給機會同學做功德。」
Pius 搶先說：「當然可以。昌最能講笑。」
周錦昌：「任寫唔嬲。」
問題是噹沒有亂寫。紀錄全部真實。有 Louis, Peter, Pius, Thomas 在旁作證。
席散。侍者打包兩袋剩菜。噹拿一袋，另外一袋給周兄：「昌，你带回去。單身寡老豆，唔駛煑。」
搭住周兄闊大的膊頭出餐房。周兄對我說：「噹，幾時一齊去黃山玩下，聽聞好靚。」
噹想。當然可以。LA有九十九美金黃山五日遊。但你要先搵個伴侶。因為噹老婆要跟住噹。
同學們依依不捨。在門口多聊幾句。周兄先離去。他明天大清早要練習扒船。
北風吹啊吹。周兄大踏步消失在黑夜的停車場裡。
問 Pius：「昌條友有冇轉呔，鍾意咗男人？」
Pius 斬釘截鐵：「絕對冇！」
同學們，做下嘢。茫茫人海，周錦昌成日掛住扒船，不容易搵老婆。你們有什麼剩女，失婚婦啱佢，請介紹。噹人格保證，昌好人一個。
請看 《徵婚》廣告。
詩人王維活到六十九歲:〝晚年惟好靜，萬事不關心”。 現代人六十歲是年輕，看我周兄，雄風未曾刮起，龍舟未曾落水，寶劍未曾出鞘。有排玩。
行文到此收筆。噹忿忿不平。周同學如此敦厚好人，幾十年悠悠長，多少女人在好男人周同學身邊察身而過。命運婚姻就是這樣，好難講。

Dear alumni,
We had a pleasant gathering from start to finish in LA last evening ( on the 7th day / man's birthday of the Lunar January ), sharing some great time and fancy food together.
Picture from L-R, back row: Thomas Shum, Pius Lee, Robert Chow Kam Cheong, Eric Yew, Louis Leong Chun Kit, Peter Woo Yau Tak and Donald Chan Pak Ning.
Front L-R: the better halves of Pius ' Louis' and Peter' --Debbi, Elena and Ann.
We also invited a '72 alumnus Eric Yew to join.
Louis Leong drove all the way from San Francisco to LA the day before.
Peter is going back to Hong Kong the next day; he has a furniture sales office in LA.
In the picture, only Robert Chow and I were in the same 2B class (with the late Fr Cunningham as our Form teacher), and Peter in the same 1C class; never been in any same classes with Pius, Louis nor Donald.
Regards
Thomas Shum, from Los Angeles
