Ng Sui Kuen’s playmates all came from Nga Tsin Wai, and most of them lived in the 1st Lane. They included the younger brother of the incumbent village headman. When the construction works of the 7-storey buildings in Tung Tau Estate were underway, a pit was formed by piling at the construction site. On rainy days, it became a water pit with the depth of 4 or 5 feet - deep enough to drown a child. Ng Sui Kuen had jumped into the water pit for fun. As a child, he did not consider the mud water to be dirty. There were many fruit shops on Nam Pin Street in Nga Tsin Wai. The children of the shop owners were his childhood friends. Because his family was too poor to afford the fruits, Ng Sui Kuen would collect rotten apples from the ground and cut them up with a knife borrowed from a fruit shop. In those days, there was a field behind the village. Ng Sui Kuen liked going to Tsz Wan Shan and Chuk Yuen (the current Chuk Yuen Estate in Wong Tai Sin) to catch jumping spiders. At the time, there were many fish ponds and vegetable farms in Chuk Yuen, while the Wong Tai Sin Temple was only a small shrine.
