Eliza and Don Yau (65) married recently. They were in town and attended a welcome dinner on June 24. They brought along a Red and a White which paired nicely with a menu drawn up by Gus Yueng and Andrew Tang. It was a very happy evening.
[Eliza and Don were at our 2008 AGM dinner held at the same restaurant.]

Jim Fung, R.I.P.
We received the sad news that Jim Fung passed away on June 7 after years of battle with cancer.
Jim was an active member of the Class of 73. He enjoyed soccer, the most popular sport at school, and continued playing Sunday soccer with wahyanites in Toronto before his illness. A solid centre defender of the soccer team, he helped WYKAAO to win the Anniversary Cup in 1999.
We ask you to keep him in your prayers.

Mr Laurence Tam writes, "On 2nd May, Sunday, I was invited by the Hong Kong Culture and Leisure Services Department (LCSD) to be the judge of a sand sculpture competition at Shek-O Beach. Shek-O was chosen, because the sand over there is extraordinary fine. There had been 12 rounds of competitions before this. This was the final round in which five of the winning teams who scored the highest points in the earlier competitions were competing. The winning team in this competition will be representing Hong Kong to take part in the international sand sculpture event to be held in coming August at Kagoshima in Japan.
Reported by Mr Laurence Tam from Hong Kong ~ "On 1st May, Saturday, Wah Yan College, Kowloon 85th Anniversary Visual Arts Exhibition was opened as scheduled at the 4th floor Gallery of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre at Tsim Sha Tsui. (slide series) I was invited to be one of the opening officiating guests together with Fr Deignan, Fr Chow, Principal Dr Tan, Mr Chiu Hay Kaw and a host of others. The opening ceremony was attended by a large crowd. Other than the staff, teachers, students (past and present), and guests, there were many parents of students and friends of Parents' Association of the College, as this Anniversary Exhibition was initiated and organized by the Parents Association of Wah Yan College Kowloon. The exhibition included not only paintings in a variety of media, but also drawing, Chinese and English calligraphy, poems, 2-D and 3-D design, costumes, photographs, ceramics, prints, posters, architectural model, installation and computer art. The exhibition gallery was partitioned into 8 sections. Works of the same nature were grouped together.
We would like to dedicate the following song to mothers who make it possible for wahyanites to enjoy their formative years at WYK.
生我育我媽媽好 為我操心太辛苦
常在母親手中抱 媽媽辛勞
千句萬句媽媽好 待我深恩似天高
常為母親添苦惱 親恩怎樣報
(曲: 蔡振南 詞: 鄭國江 唱: JoJo 編曲: 楊嘉豪)
