Ng was then form-teacher, and Mr Wat taught most of this class. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> The photo was taken in a little party for classmate <B>Lam Yan</B> (g5), who had suffered from an illness that resulted in her inability to walk any more. She became wheelchair bound for life, but with a strong character and will power, Yan has overcome the handicap by working at home. Having obtained a degree in Translation in the university after CCSC, she does translation jobs and also acts as a private tutor to students.<BR>&nbsp;<BR> All her classmates have been so nice; they not only give her moral support at all times, but also visit her often and dine with her several times in a year. Recently they invited Miss Ng and Mr Wat as well, to the party on October 26th 2008, when they brought a birthday cake and a present to celebrate Yan's birthday. Lam Yan was glad to see Mr Wat and Ms Ng at the tea party. <BR>&nbsp;<BR>It was such a warm and touching atmosphere at the party, said Mr Wat. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> With the consent of Lam Yan, Mr Wat has sent me this photo for posting on to our web site. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <center><img src="lamyan1.jpg" border=1 width=800></center><br clear=all><font color="#800000"> <blockquote><small><I><U>Front L-R</U>:</I> May Ng (3TIZs), Lam Yan (g5), Mr. Wat, Miss Ng<BR> <I><U>Back L-R</U>:</I> Vanessa Cheng (-wmq), Anita Kwok (⌳), Mr. Tsang (⌳N+Y), ff#k(⌳sYRQ), Yim Lau Fan (Vg), Lim Wing Hung (g8lĖ), Suen Yung (k[R), Chung Yiu Kee (~W)</blockquote>.<font color="#000000"> </small> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <HR width=200> (2) <center><img src="jennysy1.jpg" width=380 border=1 hspace=2><img src="jennysy2.jjpg" width=380 border=1></center><br clear=all>&nbsp;<BR> In early December, Mr Wat and Ms Ng had dinner with <B>Jenny Sy</B> (esY) classmate <B>Jenny Chang Wai Kuen</B> (5_`Z), and was glad to learn that Jenny Sy is going to get married to <B>Kenneth Choi</B> on January 10, 2009. Actually she asked Mr. Wat and Miss Ng out to dinner to give them her invitation cards to the wedding. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> Both Jenny's graduated Form 5 in CCSC in 1992-93, and both of them were taught by Ms Ng and Mr Wat. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <B>Jenny Chang</B> just had a baby girl, now 1 month old.

"Can you remember her face?" asked Mr Wat in his email. <font color="green"> <I>Believe me, I do remember her. </I></font> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> Congratulations to Jenny Chang for the new baby, and my congratulations and best wishes also to Jenny Sy for her wedding. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> Mr Wat also said, "During our chats, the two girls said that they had not visited your overseas web-site before. I promoted it by saying that they could put some photos there. Perhaps they will contact you later. Let me tell you this beforehand." <font color="green"> <I>Will look forward to their getting on line on our site.... </I></font> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <HR width=200> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> (3) <B>The Class of F2D (1993-94)</b> who had Mr Wat as their form-teacher, reunited again on August 31st, 2008, after separating for 14 long years. They had buffet lunch at a restaurant called 798 Unit & Co. at Times Square in Causeway Bay. Sixteen classmates turned up. Thanks to <B>Catherine Kwong</B> (:`it) who organized the gathering and did the reservations. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> Maybe everybody had been longing for a reunion already for some time. It was sparkled off when<B> Patrick Lee</B> (Ngl[) first posted up a class photo in Facebook that gave the right catalyst to start off the wanted reaction. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> There was a lot of chatting and updating and clicking of the cameras.... and of course lot of food of different kinds. <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <B>Kenny Yu</B> (YO_Uv) deserves special compliments for his loyalty to the old classmates, as he travelled a long way from Singapore to attend the gathering!!! <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <center><img src="2d9394group.jpg" border=1></center><font color="#800000"> <blockquote> <small><i>BACK L-R:</I> Louis So, Li Chung Wai, Hay Wong Ar Chu, Kenny Yu, Michael Chiu, Josh Hui, Timothy Chu, Edward Chow, Rock Wong, Patrick Lee<br> <I>FRONT L-R:</I> Winnie Au, Cecilia Tsui, Sophia Lui, Mr. Wat, Emily Leung, Catherine Kwong, Wong Wai</i></small></blockquote> <br>&nbsp;<BR><font color="#000000"> <!-- Here I send you some photos at the buffet lunch.

Mr. Wat and Mrs. D. Chan (retired Biology teacher) attended the ceremony. While climbing the slopes to the Chapel, they were so lucky to meet the bridegroom near the entrance of the Chapel, so we took the first picture below: <!-- (photo 4735) --> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> <center><img src="liewed4735.jpg" border=1 WIDTH=600><BR></center> <BR>&nbsp;<BR> The wedding reception banquet was held at Lee Yuen Restaurant ()RтRj) at New Town Plaza. <!-- We sat at a large round table for 16, 13 students and 3 teachers. At the restaurant the bridegroom had already changed his wedding costumes to a casual one.What a funny thing to see! Perhaps he did not want to be conspicuous.
