In high school, my gang included the mulatto Jamaican Graeme, the intellectual Russian-Scot Kenneth, the Hokkien-speaking Chinese-Filipino Philip, and myself. We often ate lunch together. We played video games and computer games. Our favourite board game was Risk, whose objective was land conquest. Graeme lived in a townhouse complex with a nice swimming pool, in which we swam.

My Chinese-Filipino friend Philip grew up in North America, but he speaks the family language of Hokkien. His family hailed from Cebu Island.

Geoffrey, pronounced like "Gawfree," was a big Chinese-Filipino who was my classmate in high school English and first-year university Engineering courses.

In Hong Kong, I and my two high school friends sojourned at the apartment of the relatives of my friend, who was a Chinese-Filipino from Canada. My other friend was Scottish-Russian from Canada. I was a Filipino. The big apartment took up much of the space of one floor of the apartment building. The kitchen sink was a large industry-grade sink that one would normally see in the laundry room in Canada. My friend had two grownup cousins living there, one girl and one boy. One night, my friends were wasting time playing basketball with the boy cousin and his friends, whilst I and the girl cousin went shopping in the exciting city. I bought a lot of cheap innovative watches. The cousins were learning Japanese, as it was a cool language for young people to learn there. Whilst we were parting from Hong Kong, the girl cousin gave me a small box containing a family of ceramic cats.
