Personal life

Sham Kwok Fai successfully proposed marriage to his girlfriend of six years, Stephanie on 31 December 2011. His Citizen teammates sang "唯獨你是不可取替" (You alone are irreplaceable), an Andy Hui hit song, as he proposed. But he said the wedding will probably have to wait until 2013, as he needs to save money for it and their house.[1]
