Three things happened in one day yesterday. The school's sports day was held in Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen. The weather was beautiful, not so cold and not so hot, a typical autumn in Hong Kong. My Blue House was the Champion of all the races as well as of the cheer-up group :-) My class came third in the overall event. A great harvest! After the sports day, I rushed to the funeral parlour to attend the memorial service of my ex-teacher, Mr Alan Wu, who died in a motor cycle accident a few weeks ago. I have expressed my condolences to my teacher, his wife, Mrs Miranda Wu. I felt sorry that I could not control myself and I cried in front of her. This morning, I read his "sweet memory" and I found it so touching and sweet.
After the funeral service, we (my old friends) took cabs to the reunion dinner of St Catharine's. It was the 40th anniversary of the school. An interesting episode on the way - while we were getting on the taxi, we saw a girl also getting a taxi. We shouted to her if she was St Catharine's girl and she said yes. We shared the taxi and we laughed in the taxi because St Catharine's girls are unique and easy to tell :-)
During dinner, we talked a lot (of course, we were girls). I met quite a few familiar faces that I have not seen for years. I felt quite excited. We were happy that we had the chance to talk and share the lost memories. We took photos and nobody knew if the food tasted good or not. I met my old 'little friend', "Pony Ma' and we took photos together. We brought home with a 40th anniversary newsletter, a lovely teddy bear in school uniform and most of all, the sweet memories of the night.
