K: You and I were in the same class from P.6 to F.5. How many years were you the class monitress?
S: Five and a half years from the 2nd semester of P.6 to F.5. Actually, I was not the most suitable person to be elected class monitress, they were too lazy to elect someone else!

K: how did you feel about being a class monitress?
S: Being a class monitress, I got to know everybody in the class. Thus I have been friends to all of them. To perform my duties, I learnt to be nice, responsible and reliable and had to help in solving problems among classmates. This helped me to learn to be responsible and become more mature. From that time onwards, even after graduation, they still call me "class monitress".

K: How many children and grandchildren have you?
S: I have one daughter, Alice, and two granddaughters, Jocelyn and Kaitlin. Jocelyn was born during the SARS period and Reuters, on reporting the SARS outbreak in Toronto hospitals, put her one-day –old- picture with her parents (when discharged from North York General Hospital) on the internet.

K: How would you describe your feelings as a grandmother?
S: The birth of two grandchildren gives me hope and happiness. They make me laugh and fill me with joy. Thank God for giving me these 2 treasures and making I know more about the meaning of life.

K: I understand your parents are in H.K. How do you fulfill your duties as a daughter (the eldest), a mother and a grandmother?
S: My parents are in HK and my daughter and her family are in Toronto. My daughter is working and cannot manage to take full care of the 2 little ones. Thus her mother-in-law and I have to help her out. My parents are getting old. I often return to HK about twice a year to pay them a visit. Most of the people at my age have to take care of their parents and the younger generation at the same time, I wish we had more hands and time.

K: How would you describe your function as a committee member?
S: helping to bind our alumni closer together and promoting the spirit of St. Mark’s throughout the world.

K: Being in a Christian School, did St. Mark’s have any influence on your faith or outlook in life?
S: just a little, because I seldom participate in the Christian functions at St. Mark’s.

K: What functions/activities held by the Alumni Association (Ontario) did you enjoy most?
S: The BBQ. There we felt free and relaxed and we also showed co-operation, responsibility and friendship. Each time after the BBQ I felt a lot of joyfulness and also had the feeling of returning to the good old school days.

K: When you were one of the callers, which years of the alumni were on your list?
S: Usually the years ’57, ’58, and ’59.

K: When I called the alumni about our functions, they said you used to be the one who called, and would come if you’re present. Can you tell me why?
S: May be it’s because we had known one another for a long time. I was one of the leaders of the House of Mars when I was in school and I had to contact the house members, and so I got to know most of the classmates of ’57, ’58 and ’59.
