As a PR, I am always interested to keep myself upbeat within this profession through attending different PR training courses. Yet, I was surprised to see more than 100 persons at JC office tonight who were interested in “PR”. The topic was “New Era of Marketing”, presented by Ms Alice Fok, General Manager of DT Communications Asia Pacific. It’s not the best training course in this field yet I found the content was inspiring. Also, there were a lot more to do for the program rundown and logistics arrangement of the night. Another good learning experience, all you need to do is participation!
Frankly speaking, I have never submitted electronic versions of bid books. During the time I was a board member, I needed to prepare bid books in hard copies. The great invention of Internet and technology lead people entering a new age. Although I have submitted a lot of award bidding materials for my company before, the sharing from CJC PP Senator Polsion and JCI Trainer Senator Francesca did give me insights, of which benefitting myself, my chapter and my company.
Trust me, always keep yourself open and you will be rewarded as much as you can!
If you ask me what have you achieved at JC so far, I can name numerous things while meeting new friends must be one of the key items. I feel very glad to join JC Choir as I really love singing. Getting to know a group of music lover is a wonderful and beautiful issue. Tonight, we have to farewell Asako (PP of KJC) who will continue her living in Japan. Though not many people could join the dinner at the end, we had a nice time there with good food and free wine. Asako also brought us a box of very yummy “dessert” from Japan.
It was a great dinner gathering and Asako shared her views on JC. She also told us the reason she chose to join JC: Asako thought JCI offered an invaluable chance for young people to develop oneself. To her, this chance can even be comparable to achieving a master degree at the college! She knew that there were JCI around the world and somehow she got the chance to relocate to Hong Kong, so she was able to join JCIHK and started her memorable and rich experience here.
Asako, all the best to you and see you at Nagano ASPAC this June!

I’ve invited my Uncle Bill to visit JC Office in the morning. All started from Uncle Bill’s visit to HK the other day from Boston for some personal matters. He’s a Past President of Lion’s Club in the US while he’s recently set up another chapter and be the Charter President at Connecticut. We then had a lunch meeting with “Excom” together with two friends of Uncle Bill – Margaret and David. The meeting was fruitful and very meaningful. Bill shared his points of view on our chapter’s issues / problems. Margaret and David did give us very valid comments as well. We all enjoyed the meeting and were inspired to think further what we should do next. Change of our mindsets is inevitable. Jayceettes, are you ready to see the new transformation of the chapter?
After that, we had board meeting and then celebrated the nearly being forgotten Director Winnie’s birthday.
JTT Mandy Yeung has delivered her baby boy 5.72lb on 9 March at Baptist Hospital. I visited the new Mama and BB today on behalf of the Board of Directors, and presented a gift to the BB. Both the Baby and Mama are fine. Let's wish Mandy and her BB all the best.
0900 Urgent Trust Fund committee meeting to discuss about the case of HSBC
1200 Lunch with my respectful Conductor Tong, Zhongruan Tutor Ms Chu and friends from the Music Office
1600 Personal appointment
1800 Church
Today’s itinerary concludes a bit the type of person I am. Besides JC, my life is actually filled with music since some 20 years ago. Then, participation in church makes up an important part of my life. Of course, I also need a balanced life to meet up with friends of different circles. Who says my life is only occupied by JC, haha? Sometimes, I also found myself too busy and I think it may be time for me to cut down some commitments so to leave more time with my family and beloved friends, as well as to serve the community.



Sunday is a day for rest, no matter for work or JC :) I had “yum cha” lunch with my family. Meanwhile, I kept thinking about whether to join the「開你的心 DAY」啟動禮. Board members were available to join me and I totally had no idea of what this function was. At the end, I decided to go and support the event though I did not really wish to.
Not until I reached the event hall did I realize that the event was actually hosted by RTHK. All of a sudden, I felt at ease since I thought there would be a lot to see and learn from :) Yes, a simple and nice opening ceremony with guests’ sharing about their views on “happiness”. This is a very meaningful project and I learned a lot as a participant as well.
What an inspiring experience – no one can guarantee what you can get / learn from an incident, but if you don’t pay your effort to experience it by yourself or take action, no matter how good I tell you it is, it will only be my story and not yours. Now, I am telling you my experience, please tell me your experience through active participation!
