Wai-Ki Pun (pronunciation WA-EE…-KEE…POO-NNN) born 21/11/1954 is the eldest and current Patriarch of the Pun Family (Australian Division) and the first male member to reach the age of 60. Born in Hong Kong, he grew up with aspirations to become an Osteopath, but due to an error in filling out his University Course application form, selected Orthopaedics instead. Since then, he has fostered a deep resentment of the field of Osteopathy and related sciences, such as Chiropractic’s. During his surgical training days, he travelled to many different countries to further his learnings in the craft of Orthopaedia. His travels took him to foreign and mystical lands, such as Scotland, London, New York, Toronto. During his travels, his reputation continued to precede him and perhaps in part, due to his powerful aura and the coinciding box office success of Sylvester Stallone in the 1980’s, he was nicknamed by his travelling companions as “Rocky”. This name served him well, gaining the attention and praise of the Grandmasters of Orthopaedia, which brought him much glory to his Orthopaedic Dojo in Hong Kong. Having mastered the various forms and techniques of thumping bones with his fists and hammers in Hong Kong, he sought further challenges and subsequently travelled to Australia to ply his trade. Arriving in the town of Toowoomba, he gained the role of “Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon” at the Toowoomba Base Hospital. Instantly impressing the people of Toowoomba with his unique Bone Hitting skills, he was able to progress to opening up his own private practice at St Andrews Hospital where he dwelled in for many years after. Having finally reached the upper echelons of Orthopaedics, he achieved the Title of ‘Grandmaster of Orthopaedia’ and continues to mentor and train the future orthopaedic surgeons of tomorrow.

Modes of Transport
Having initially crafted his body into an ultra lean, streamlined self-propelled machine in itself, Wai-Ki turned his attention to more artificial modes of transport once in Australia. His first car was a Toyota Camry purchased in 1992, coloured red because “Red is the fastest colour”. However, Wai-Ki’s penchant for utilitarian efficiency soon turned him towards German built cars, with the purchase of his first Mercedes dubbed as “not unexpected”. Since then he has not looked back, subsequently, purchasing German built cars since. However, Mid-life crisis then took hold and a Porsche was purchased shortly after.

Latter Years
In his latter years, Wai-Ki became a cycling enthusiast. Initially beginning as an exercise in exercise, it soon became apparent that the weekly cycling trips were actually an excuse for Wai-Ki to feed the ducks at Lake Anand. To maintain this façade, Amy and Alex were often forced along as well, in an effort to conceal the true motivation of these bicycle trips. However, these trips soon became more difficult to continue once Amy relocated to Brisbane and Alex’s high school weight gain became a very real and serious health hazard, often inducing frequent bouts of crushing chest pain and wheezing. Despite these setbacks, Wai-Ki continued to cycle until during one trip, he fell off his bike and subsequently fractured his elbow. This resulted him being banned from cycling by Amelia Pun and Wai-Ki’s pushbike fell into disuse and eventual scrapping. He continues riding to this day, however, on an exercise bicycle at home often without wearing a shirt (similar to Vladamir Putin) and often to the Musical Montage “Eye of the Tiger” of Rocky IV.

Retirement
Never.
