[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Michael Yin Bong Lam (LAM DING DING) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02:15:06 07/03/02 Wed I have one boy named Daniel. He was borned in Vancouver 23 May 1996 and so he is 6 years old. He is an absolute genius. He knew about 40-50 Tong See (Tong dynasty poems) when he was 2 1/2 - 3 years old and about 100 countries, flags, capitals about the same age. He has a photographic memory and learn many Chinese characters by himself over the electronic translator. The reason is I think he as High Functioning altism. What he is not good at is his motor skills. Completely crap at sports etc.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley Cheng [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:04:58 07/03/02 Wed Ding Ding, My boy, Edmund, is just one year old. Hope he will be as bright as your son. Don't forget the chinese saying "¤p®É¤F¤F" (which referred to ¤Õ¿Ä who shared his pears "Åý±ù"), so KEEP UP your good work. (Just kidding and testing chinese... see if you guys read the chinese characters properly) You're welcomed to visit my son's photo album at: www.edmund.cheng.name

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley Cheng [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:10:07 07/03/02 Wed Oh yes, Ding Ding, go and drag Cheung Yu Shun, who has a baby girl around one and half year old, into the forum. You guys still remember the four of us (YL, Yu Shun, Ding Ding and I) had a great get together in UK when I went to Edinburgh for my elective training in 1987?

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Cheung Yuk Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:18:48 07/03/02 Wed Ding Ding, yours probably knows more Chinese than mine. How can you do that ? Strange enough, I am now more concern about my sons' Chinese ability than English.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ding [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:50:28 07/03/02 Wed I think my son being so bright is a by product of his altism - just look at his dad - thick as English Sunday roast beef gravy. By the way, Ashley, I remember that occasion very much. Each of us also had a cuddly toy to hug with and that photo appeared in the Stars. Ah Lam roasted chicken legs and put half a ton of salt on each leg and his adjective in every sentence was Shitty this shitty that. Still remember I bumped into Ah Lam in Leeds on boxing day when I was wandering around - the world is small

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:43:05 07/04/02 Thu Ding Ding, that's really amazing. How can you remember all these in such details after all these years ? I am having difficulty in recalling what I seen just five minutes ago. Worse though, as what my wife said, I am having difficulty in seeing things some 3 feet away and right in front of me.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ding Ding [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:06:32 07/04/02 Thu You don't drink enough alcoholic products! Drink more to stimulate your brain cells...I also remember vividly when you came to our classroom at form 2 and I was the one who initiated talking to you (the new kid in class). I knew who you were before you introduced yourself as your brother Cheung Yuk Tong was my basketball hero! There are also many incidents I remember from Wah Yan - those basketball matches with Gwong Tau Tsai (Cheng Koon Wai), Sing Sing, Chow Hau Ming (Smelly Mouth Yeung Ka Ming)...AND those endless discussions about Adidas red and blue Gazelles...sweet memories!

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ding (Not Again!) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:10:20 07/04/02 Thu By the Way, Lam and Ashley...I talked to Jason Cheung Yu Sheng today on the phone and have asked him to write a little about his family. He is quite occupied from work unlike the Duck-Harn people like us!

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:19:39 07/04/02 Thu Talking about Chow Hau Ming, you know what ? I never had the opportunity to smell how 'chow' his 'hau' was because from the moment I was told of his nickname, I'd been trying to stay as far away from his 'hau' as possible.

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:21:43 07/04/02 Thu Yes? How ng duck harn can one be ? And what exactly is Cheung Yu Shun doing and where ? Have lost touch with him for quite some time.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley Cheng [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:13:04 07/04/02 Thu Last time I talked to Cheung Yu Shun, he was working in HSBC Canada...um..computer related job. Ding Ding, why don't you send a photo of our smart boy to Paul and has it posted in the class80 album.

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Wong Hin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02:09:28 07/09/02 Tue Per Ding Ding's request, I am now posting under this thread. I have 2 boys, Dennis is 6 and Justin is going to be 4 by mid-August. I can't even get Dennis to remember 10-20 Chinese character left alone Tong Sze. Luckily he still speaks some Cantonese. May be Wah Yan should have summer school teaching Chinese and others for our 2nd generations from overseas. Johnny Wong (Sau Pui) is Dennis' God father. Johnny is also Chan Yu's daughter Harriet's Kai Yeh. Around here, every gathering involves kids and wives, so no special arrangement or request is needed. Harriet and Dennis like to ski a lot. And I would say Harriet (7yrs old) skis much better than her dad. They met Cheng Kar Lok's beautiful daughter Blossom couple weeks back while we were vacationing together. You should ask Cheng Kar Lok to post his princess' picture here. Anthony (See Hing) is hosting his summer party this month at his mansion. Hopefully, we will see Yuen Cheung Lun (Sang Chai) and his kid Nathan. Also, Stephen Lau Lai Kit's boy and girl.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Toby [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:15:00 07/09/02 Tue I guess the last person to have witness your appearnace is Margaret Lam with whom we had dinner at Sandy's home last Saturday. She kept saying you had inflated by how many pounds etc. My imagination fails me. I saw Cheung Yu Shun's photo in the album but cannot find his posting in th the threads, can anyone supply his e-mail so that I can update ? Toby

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Wong Hin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:40:46 07/09/02 Tue That is not true. I guessed you are getting too old or may be your memory disappeared just like your hair. You were here several years ago while taking your flying lessons and we had a nice get together at Anthony's old house. I haven't seen Margaret for at least 11 years. You should come visit every year just like Jiu.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:32:38 07/09/02 Tue Toby, I supplied the photo (which Cheung Yu Shun sent me one year ago) to Paul. The last time I received email from him, his address looked like this: taj.c@telus.net Btw, who's Margaret Lam?

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:15:48 07/09/02 Tue Last time I had a big gathering in my place and I forgot to take a picture of that. Don't repeat my mistake. Take some pictures of everyone and send them to Paul.

[> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:31:51 07/09/02 Tue Wong Hin, Sounds like "Saw Pui" is still single? Remember to send us photos of you people.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Wong Hin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:45:57 07/09/02 Tue Yes, he is still single and keep wanting to move to Hawaii and find himself a local girl. Chan Yu's daughter and my son keep asking him when he is goint to find them a Kai Ma. He is also a golf fanatic just like Ah Lam. By the way, Cheng Kar Lok and him hit the golf courses every day while we were vacationing in Maui. I heard they mentioned organizing a golf trip to Thailand some time in the winter and hoping to enroll as many Ma Lut Lo as possible.

[> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:35:27 07/09/02 Tue Tell him not to be so choosy. I thought any "Gweimui" with beautiful blond hair and big b&b will suit his criteria? Is he still driving his MR2 (guess not)?

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Wong Hin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:24:00 07/10/02 Wed I don't think Blondy is Saw Pui's type. But come to think of it as long as she is bitchy enough it should serve him well. Yes, he is still driving his turbo charged, special license plated MR2. He also has a 3 series, a motorcycle, a bike, roller blades, 4-6 spare tires ... When it comes to wheels per person or toys for a 39 years old, Saw Pui has the most.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:55:44 07/10/02 Wed Hahahaha... Tell you one "secret". You still remember I met you guys last time in 1994 when I stayed there, in North America, for 2 months? I was asked by my father-in-law to introduce my sis-in-law to Saw Pui. When Saw Pui arrived in his white super-charged MR2, my father-in-law was very excited and thought he saw a good "omen".... since I drove a black MR2 at that time! Unfortunately, my sis-in-law is no "Gwei-mui" and so it didn't work out.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ashley [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:57:39 07/10/02 Wed Ah yes... I remember several years ago Saw Pui came back to Hong Kong to look for a job. He even went to Kwong Wah Hospital for an interview. You know what happened after that?

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Post here if you've got children Author: Ding Ding [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:45:34 07/30/02 Tue Saw Pui is working in San Francisco - Livermore area to be precise at Livermore hospital. I never got a chance to see him when I stayed with Tsang Kwok Wing during April this year. I had a whacking great time drinking lots of red nectar with Lai See Wing - Frank Tsang though.
