Kellogg/HKUST-04

Greetings from Hong Kong. It has been a long while since I last updated you all with our class news. That is because I have been away from Hong Kong for the past two years. As a matter of fact, I was in Cambridge, Mass., at the Kennedy School. Now I am back in Hong Kong and you can look forward to some regular updates for the class.

A lot has happened with the class of KH-04 over the last year. Alam Yam has made partner in one of the few remaining international accounting firms left standing and is currently based in Shanghai. We have two new fathers in the class, both Dekai Wu and Ming Mei have beautiful baby girls and are going through the joys of "initial sleep deprivation," and I gather they are enjoying every moment of it. We welcome back our classmate James Hulbert to Hong Kong, who had gone back to the States but is now based in Hong Kong with United Airlines. Malcolm Sullivan continues to do extremely well at FedEx in Hong Kong, and congratulations were in order last year when he was promoted to bigger and better things. Gilbert Cheng, the guy who helped set up soccer betting with our ever-esteemed premier horse-betting charity donor, The HK Jockey Club, has done an incredible job. In its first year, it looks like soccer betting is going to overtake horse betting in the near future. Two of our eligible bachelors from the class, Nat Chan (based in Shanghai with the Zegna Group) and Edwin Ooi, each tied the knot and is happily married.

Some of our class members managed to spend quality time with Professor Krisnamurthi and helped him celebrate his birthday when he was teaching in Hong Kong in February. We were also very happy and lucky to be able to have dinner with Professor Dave Messick and his wife when they were in Hong Kong in March.

Obviously, not having written in over two years, I have a lot of updating to do, but those are the main ones and cover a time frame of roughly the same period.

Hope our counterparts in the United States are doing well, and we look forward to hearing from you if you are ever in Hong Kong.
