Hi Ernie:

Here are 2 photos taken yesterday with James Lai who had been lost contact more than 40 years. I saw in your past diary James was one of the good friends with you in school time.


Did you also lose contact? His email address is: Jameslai@peoplepc.com. He will return to Indiana USA on 8th this month.

Another photos are taken at your old house location, Is one of the 2 low buildings your old house?




I am now organizing the old photos before sending you to enrich the Yuetwah.blogspot.com.

Hi Keith
Thanks so much for the photo and email address of James Lai. I wrote him right away and hopefully I'll hear back from him when he returns home to Indiana. The last I knew of James he had left for England to study. Never heard from him again.
I posted the photos you sent

I can still recognize him from the photo, although I probably wouldn't recognize him on the street. We've all changed so much

Thanks also for the photos of our house. I think I recognize the army barracks at the bottom of the hill (the pink buildings). The other two photos of shops I can't recognize at all. But If they are right next to the photo of the pink army barracks that would mean that they are in front of our house. There was another row of houses like ours directly off the main street. Our house was behind that one. #14 Trav de Afonso Henriques.

I suspect that our old house has been torn down to make way for all the development that seems to be going on in Macau.

Looking forward to seeing more photos from you. Are there any class pictures from form III and IV?? Several people left before form VI and aren't in the group photo.

Frank says he may have some old photos of our class. If he does, I'll post them for all to see.

Question: a couple of faces and names I can't recall...
Cheung Kung Leung
Philip K.S. Cheng
I didn't see them in our Form VI photo
I can't recall them.

Ernie:


Cheung Kung Leung left us soon after he finished Form III. He has a blue birth mark at the face. He is one of the big suppliers of Polo Ralph in HK. When did you join us at Yuet Wah?

Philip Cheng's name at school was Cheng Koon Sum who left us for St. John's College after Form IV. His nickname in Chinese was Fat Pig King (肥豬皇). He is not fat but slim now.

Since Chiu Sin Wai and I entered Yuet Wah from Form I to Form VI, most classmates to and flow know us. I am an emotional person, like to keep contact with old friends and classmates.
So I can keep more contacts with classmates than appeared in our Graduate Photo. We welcome every classmate who studied before in Great Bear II to join us.

Hi Keith
Thanks for the information about Cheung Kung Leung and Cheng Koon Sum.
I do not remember either of them probably because they weren't in the Form VI photo. Once I saw the photo I recalled everyone in our class...although I had forgotten most of the Chinese names. People like Paul and James and Raymond were always easier for me to remember because many Chinese names sounded so similar to me

As time goes on I would like to learn more about each of our classmates: what they did after Yuet Wah and where they are today.

I notice you have the email addresses for about 17 of us. Are you still looking for the rest?
When did you start looking for everyone?

Hi Ernie:

I do wish to collect all our classmates address, telephone number or e-mail address. Besides those 17 classmates email address there are few classmates who do not touch computer like Cheang Kok Chong, Cheng Koon Sum, Cheng Koon Chu, Lee Chong Yuen, Chiu Shung Chou Wong Kam Tin, etc. who can be contacted only by telephone.

Do you remember a classmate called Chow Kuk Shing who always ranked at the first two position in our class. He left us for HK College after Form III (I recalled). He is now residing in Davis, CA, USA, Tel: (530) 750-0287 or (512) 465-6889. If you still remember him you can try to contact him.
