Welcome to WYKAAO
On 13 Oct 2012 (Sat), we had our happy 40th Anniversary Reunion dinner gathering. This year we had a record turnout: 50 students, 10 teachers, and 8 spouses plus 1 child !
The great success was made possible by the great support from our old boys. And behind the scene, thanks to David Fung Sing Pong who contributes so much to organise the function along with the support from a number of us.

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.

Hong Kong (UCAN): Plans by the Society of Jesus to open a liberal arts university in Hong Kong have come up against challenges recently.
The university has been slated to open in 2014, but seven other institutions have tendered for the proposed campus site. In addition, the original plan called for places for 3,000 students, but the government requirement is for 8,000.
