Ma Sui Wai found a childhood sweetheart who was the daughter of a Village Representative
Ma Sui Wai's wife was the younger sister of current village headman. The trio were intimate childhood friends who were also schoolmates of Lok Sin Tong Primary School. They went to school together. Ma brought $0.1 or $0.15 with him for breakfast. Since his wife's father, Ng Fat Chai, was the chancellor of Chi Tak Public School, the brother and sister were a bit better-off. They had $0.1 to $0.2 for breakfast. At that time a bowl of bean milk and a strip of deep-fried dought were both sold as $0.05. When they bought bean milks, they added sugar ruthlessly. The hawker lady stopped them to do so desperately to avoid further loss. When Ma recalled this small episode, he still finds it amazing
