Andrew Kam Cheung Lung (70) __ Fred Yip (71)

71scouts 71scouts_2 71LA WY.scoutIs Andrew Kam the same person as 金鬼, the guy that we used to play soccer with on the sandy field  before and after class at WYK?. I cannot tell from the dinner photo whether that was him or not, as I have not seen him for years. I never knew his real name anyway, and he got that nickname most likely because of all the phantom moves that he made on the soccer field. So I need confirmation on this. If indeed it is, then I would like to share a little anecdote with you all.  By the way, Andrew Kam Cheung Lung is another student that Mr. Ho should know very well. When I looked up the Form 5 class photos in 1969-70 from Shield50, lo and behold, Mr. Ho was the Form 5D master cum Vice Principal, with Andrew Kam sitting on his right-hand side, implying that Andrew was also the class prefect. When I first became a boy scout in Form II, I was assigned to a small patrol made up of 7 or 8 boys. It was headed by Ng Tin Hoi, currently Chair of Cable TV in HK. The second-in-command was 金鬼. There were also two other guys from my Form 2A class. One was Johannes Lee Wan Nan, who now lives and works in North Carolina; another was Paul Hsieh Chung Hing, who somehow is not on our mailing list.  The overall leader of our Kowloon 11th Group was of course our ever indefatigable Mr. Ho. One of the major activities at the time was that each one of us had to prepare a dinner at home and invite all our fellow boy scouts to come over and sample it, as a means of showing that we could cook and wok, among other life-surviving skills. 金鬼, being the more senior buy scout, was the first one to host it. When we got to his home in Kowloon City one day in late 1967 or early 1968, his mom had practically got everything down pat, even though the dinner was supposed to be done by the boy scout himself. She filled the whole table to the brim with all sorts of expertly prepared and amazingly delicious gourmet dishes, and kept reminding us that we had to eat to our hearts’ content. It was definitely one of the best and  most sumptuous home meals that I have ever had. Her culinary skills, together with her unbounded kindness, warmth and hospitality towards a bunch of young Wahyanites whom she never met before has  forever left an indelible impression on me. What a supermom that 金鬼, has got for himself.

  1. Andrew Kam is the second one on the right of the photo.

    Could anyone tell me Andrew email address. Pius, could you tell me his email address.

    Julia Nip
    One of Andrew’s friend in 1970

    • Julia:

      Ngai kalong (email address: Ngai kalong) is the one who most likely has Andrew’s email address. They were in the same class before and when kaloong came to the States last year, he was staying in Andrew’s place in Frisco. Andrew drove him to from Frisco to LA and back. Contact kalong and you will likely get the answer. Good luck.
