This is my claim to fame: my father - a St Francis Xavier's College graduate - was in the same class as kung fu movie legend Bruce Lee. Like Sam Hui Koon-kit (who is regarded as the father of Canto-pop), Lee also studied at La Salle College before transferring to my father's alma mater.
But enough about me, or rather, my father. Do you know of anyone famous who attended your school?
Those of you at Pui Ching Middle School, for instance, may or may not know that physics Nobel Prize winner Professor Daniel Tsui Chye was an alumnus there. And television actor Ma Chun-wai was once a student at CMA Secondary School.
It would be great to have celebrities like Ma around, say, on a speech day. Or imagine having a Canto-pop star like Gigi Leung Wing-kei giving the solemn occasion a glamorous touch?
Well if you are studying at Maryknoll Convent School, you probably can. Leung is just one of the many 'celebrity old girls' who attended this prestigious establishment. Others include former beauty queen-turned actress Michelle Reis, socialite/model Teresa Cheung and former pop singers Prudence Liew and Sandy Lamb San-san - not to be confused with Sandy Lam Yik-lin who went to Marymount Secondary School, along with former pop queen Priscilla Chan Wai-han.
Rosaryhill School boasts an equally impressive list of alumni: pop and screen idols Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing and Kelly Chen Wai-lam, Canto-pop newcomer Bobo Chan, award-winning stage actress Alice Lau Nga-lai and Charlene Choi Tsoek-jin, one of the members of the pop duo Twins. The other twin, Gillian Chung Yan-tong, graduated from one of the True Light schools.
