Came back home with a heavy heart last night.
A family friend of ours, Ngao, died in a road accident on the Tsuen Wan highway. His wife's in ICU and 17 other people including his son were injured.
Ngao was a good guy - he was my late great grandad's most trusted friend (they were also in the triads), helped me refurnish my apartment and even introduced me to a doctor for my skin condition - although his meds didn't help.
