Some Cheetahs met in Toronto to attend the Chinese Canadian Legend (紅楓傳奇) Gala on Saturday, October 27, to witness their team-mate, Hon. Philip Lee, LG of Manitoba, giving the keynote speech. The day before, they went to Stratford to see The Pirates of Penzance which they had performed at school more than 50 years ago.
Class of 61, a year junior than the Cheetahs, had three members from three differeent cities in town: Michael Lee (Edmonton), Gabriel Lau (Winnipeg) and Philip Yu (Seattle).
As both groups know each other, our past President, Gus Yeung, arranged a dinner for both groups with their spouses and family on Thursday, October 25.

《醉花陰》 (宋·李清照) (1084-1151)
薄霧濃雲愁永晝 瑞腦消金獸 佳節又重陽 玉枕紗廚 半夜涼初透
東籬把酒黃昏後 有暗香盈袖 莫道不消魂 簾卷西風 人似黃花瘦

This universal law once again proves to be correct.
During our 2012 class reunion, there is an optional Montreal/Quebec tour. Lack of participation smothered our plan for a private customized tour and we turn to a local tourist agency for help. It was a grave mistake.
You cannot beat the price of the tour. It included 2 nights of 4 star hotel and transportation with a tour guide for a measly amount of about $200. The tour was booked solid. There were 14 people from the class ’64 who joined the tour. The rest of the group were from mainland China. My head started to itch.

Day 1 – Conference & Gala Dinner
The much anticipated reunion for the class of ’64 opened its curtain on October 1, 2012. Classmates from Hong Kong, the States and various provinces of Canada assembled in Toronto. We kicked off day 1 with the usual conference to determine on what we should do for the next one in 2014. Since it will be our 50th anniversary, decision on the venue was reached quickly -- Hong Kong. There would be a cruise program either from Hong Kong to Singapore or Hong Kong to Xiamen (厦門). Other activities were also discussed followed by lunch with spouses.
Our Gala Dinner was held at La Rosa (天寶閣) at 7 p.m. We had 51 people in all including an honourable guest - our beloved Ho sir. We mingled and laughed and for sure, putting that many 64ers together in one room, you could be sure of a riot, a riot of fun and joy.
In memory of Gregory Chow (周仁傑), a video was made using some photos of his and was presented at the Gala dinner. To watch the video, click here.
