About WYK
It's been two years since the 'Moments in Time' video, which presents a comprehensive history of Wah Yan College Kowloon from inception to the current days in an interesting yet authoritative fashion, was released. If you haven't had a chance to view these videos (in Chinese and English narration respectively) or would like to see them again, click the above images. For a sample of what Wah Yanites had to say about the video, click here.

Fr Farren was out of hospital on March 17 after the stomach surgery. He is now in the nursing home (Cherryfield Lodge, Dublin) again.
March 23. Fr Farren was able to walk with a walker to the dining area for meals and will go the hospital for a follow up on April 3.
Fr Farren was happy that so many alumni were concerned about him.

在愛爾蘭停留了五天，每天都致電回家跟母親聊聊。母親問：「吃得好嗎？」
「除了早餐，所有正餐都在療養院和神父一起吃。」我答道。
「甚麼？」母親高聲大叫：「老遠飛到歐洲，只吃老人院的食物？」
說實話，在療養院吃到第三天，信心開始動搖。可是，我很想陪神父用膳，算是對他的支持。
有天我問神父：「生病時，會否感到沮喪？」
「基督徒都要揹起十字架追隨耶穌，」神父答道：「十字架有不同形式，有貧困，有逼迫，也有疾病。儘管如此，能夠追隨耶穌，是福樂。」
「你怕不怕死？」我又問。

農曆新年，我飛到愛爾蘭的都柏林，探望曾教我英語的神父。(Fr. Farren)
朋友問我為甚麼每年都去一次，我答一來是為了看看老師，其次是當作避靜。
神父今年八十八歲，差一點點便看不到他了。三、四星期前，他患上腸扭結，動了一個全身麻醉的大手術。甚麼叫腸扭結？那就是腸忽然自己打結，血液循環受阻，引致腸壞死。若手術延誤，很可能喪命。
和神父見面的地方，不是他原來居住的宿舍，而是有護士照顧的療養院。經歷大手術，他消瘦了許多，走路得依靠有兩個輪子的金屬架。
一見面，神父故作輕鬆地說：「還沒有死呀！」
