In memory of Lo Ka Fai

My dear friend had always been a joy to me through the many years i've known him. This friendship probably stretched all the way back 10 years ago or so in sec 1 when i know him as the St Pat's player. Back then life was probably alot more simple. 5 years later, and we became team mates in Victoria junior college. Tennis twice a week plus the 2 major 'A' division seasons was probably one of my highlights in VJC, and i believe it is for Ka fai as well.

I can recollect the evenings we had after a tiring training talking about life, girls, school. He was a great listening and could always find a way to cheer you up. We did the most retarded things together, stealing the court's keys as well as the lighting keys and played tennis til we're so exhausted and burnt. Or dragging a team mate by his four limbs out of the courts to celebrate his birthday and get scolded later. There was a training whereby we couldn't access the ball storage area and had to climb over the spiked fence. Whatever i can remember is merely a fraction of the fun we had.

2006 'A' Division 3rd,4th placing match is probably the last tennis i had with him. We partnered and managed to win and even the score to 2-2 against the opposing school, leaving the decider match to the last doubles game. I will always remember that match Ka Fai.

It was around 2006 when he also started his drumming craze and according to Liang Hong, Ka Fai was into hardcore practicing. I heard him when he just started and heard him a year later when he was at my place jamming. He was already playing drums for his church and had an arsenal of hot chops at his fingertips. We did a recording together with Deyang singing, Daniel on bass, i on guitar and John on sax. Truly memorable.

Ka fai decided to end it all on May 2010. You will always be remembered.
