Hosted by Michael Tsang (’83), the program was initiated by Desmond Yip (’81) with the opening welcome from the DSOBA. This was then followed by a video presentation and a Question and Answer session from Selwyn Chan (“77) on the topic of interview skills for application to US universities. Joseph Ngai (’92) subsequently captured the minds of the audience with an insightful and practical talk on key tips for a successful University application.
 
While the majority of the audience appeared interested in US universities, there was also keen interest in other universities around the world. Other Old Boys representing their Universities on the day included : David Fu (’81) – Oxford University; Gabriel Chan (’95) – Queen’s University; Daryl Leung (‘95) – Macquarie University; Frank Ho (’88) – MIT; Mervyn Chow (’89) – UC Berkeley & Stanford University; Richard Lai (’84) – Stanford University; Donald Lung (’99) – Yale University.
 
We also would like to extend our appreciation to Mark Rosario, Jenny Tso and Amy AuYeung for their support in helping to make the afternoon activities run so efficiently.
 
Michael Tsang (Class of 1983)

30 Sep 2007 (Sun)
Presented by DSOBA and DBSAC

 

Even though Games Day this year took place over the long National Day weekend, the turnout was still strong:  61 adults and 56 children showed up for the event.  The annual family event, organized jointly by DSOBA and DBS Athletics Club (DBSAC),   was held in a sunny afternoon at the School Field.

Our Old Boys and their family members participated enthusiastically in the various games scheduled.  As usual, we had games for everyone: Old Boys, young boys and girls, and even mothers!  There were individual sprints, obstacle races, spoon-and-egg races and 1-lap runs.  Several heats were set up for each event, and the nursery-kindergarten group once again turned out to be the largest of all the different age groups!  The 1-lap run was open to all ages and proved to be a very popular event with over 50 entries.

The races continued until dusk, and we had to cancel the last two family games in order to allow time for the medal presentation.  We were honoured to have William Hill (Class of ‘64 and our School’s track-and-field record-holder), Alex Ko (Class of ‘70 and DBSAC’s Chairman) and Willie Kung (Class of ’77 and DBSAC’s Deputy Chairman) present the medals to the winners of each event.    

 

Congratulations to all the winners!  Special thanks to Cheng “Sir” and his school staff and students who made this a successful and memorable event.  I would also like to thank Philip Ma (’83) for his generosity in donating toys for the event. 

 

We hope everyone had lots of fun this year and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

We were fortunate that, despite an initial brief shower, the Sunday afternoon was filled with mostly sunshine, blue skies and light breezes.  The party began with leisurely swimming and water games.  This year we had many enthusiastic swimmers eagerly anticipating the “friendly” swimming competitions, but we wanted to make sure that everybody was well fed and happy, so the buffet was served before the competitions.  Albert Cheung (’83) arranged for the food catering, which featured a variety of western and Asian dishes, of which the fruit salad with salmon, shrimp on sugar cane stick, and chicken wings were instant hits.  Also, thanks to Bobby Yu (’79), we had delicious desserts to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
The swimming competitions began after the buffet.  The youngest swimmer was only 4 years old and did not even require the use of a kickboard! Six races were initially scheduled based on the different age groups, and the infamous DBS’ competitive spirit really shone through in all the races.  Everybody was having so much fun that we decided to add two more races at the end:  the 50M “father-and-child” relay and the 25M breast stroke for the Old Boys who wanted to relive their past glories.  Kenny Yip (’81), our Sportsmaster, showcased his perfect form of the breaststroke and, of course, won that race with ease.    We were grateful to have Robert Choi (’83) keep scores of those close races and Darwin Liu (’84) take photos for us.   
This year we were honored to have Mr. Reginald Hamet (’53), an active supporter of DSOBA, present medals and prizes (donated by Philip Ma (’83) and Anthony Siu (’83)) to the winners.  Last but not least, we wrapped up the poolside party with our traditional watermelon eating.  We all went home with a nice tan, a content stomach and more happy memories of DBS.

The Annual Poolside Party is a wonderful family event and a great opportunity to catch up with other Old Boys and to meet new friends in a casual setting.  Hopefully, next year you will bring your families & friends back to join the fun!
