200605. 10th Thought. Last but not Least.

Yes, last but not least. My last national conference as an AIESEC in HONG KONG officer was ended two days ago.
WNCF 02, SNCF 02, WNCF 03, SNCF 03, NLDS 03, WNCF 04, SNCF 04, NLDS 04, WNCF 05, SNCF 05.

A total of 10 national conferences that I have participated.
From an LC offier to an outgoing MCP, each natco really means different things to me.
Natco is a place for our talents to meet together and to develop themselves and the organization.
Therefore, in some sense, a natco is a milestone of an organization.
Yes it is.
Witnessing the birth of AIESEC in HONG KONG 0506, I mean, not only MC, but also the LC officers.....so fresh so green.
What will AIESEC in HONG KONG be after one year?
What will it be after 3 years, 5 years, 10 years?

Do you have the answer in mind?

060605. 7th Thought. Exploration

I really want to go to explore.
A great desire to travel around the world on my own, to see, to inspire, to change.

I can only lead my way of life if I can explore and challenge myself everyday.

I am really anticipating to a new life.
PLEASE.

270505. 6th Thought. The colour of travel

Today, I kept on asking people who were online the same question:

"Please associate travel with one colour and one symbol"

The purpose for me to ask this question for me to brainstorm the layout, logo and colour theme of the travel magazine, and I realize that, there are really A LOT OF ASSOCIATIONS......

Examples: Yellowish Golden Brown, Red, Green, Australian roadsigns, suitcase, backpack, wine, "HOT GALS" ......

My association: Sky Blue - Old styled Train - airplane - tickets - postcards - music

This small founding let me reconfirm that every different individual will have their own idea and intepretation towards the same thing.

So listen more before you make a decision.

So perhaps. The colours of travel, yellow, green, blue ?

The Sun, the trees, the sky and ocean.

How do you see travelling? A leisure? An adverture? A Honeymoon?

My answer - an inspiring and reflecting journey, which will make some difference to my life.

Excited for the upcoming possible destinations - Taiwan & India & Thailand!!

270505. 5th Thought. Development. Celebrate the FIRST!

Today went to sit AIESEC-LC-Lingnan elect's meeting with my mentee, Ron.
Well we weren't playing a very active role in the meeting (we shouldn't have, my intention is to let Ron to observe how's the team working and meeting style and also observe Sharon's leadership), so we used a lot of time discussing about the development of MC 0506, and development of some LCs.
Common Recruitment, Member structure, Learning Network.
Well, I told Ron, that back to three years ago when I was the LC officer elect, I am sure I didn't know what AIESEC International's direction was(perhaps was my ignorance though), but I am sure that this year all of them will know we are going to have Learning Network, all of them will know we need to run @XP, all of them will understand how @XP can bring changes to people and to revolutionize AIESEC......

AIESEC's development.


Yet at the same time, both Ron and me think that, it seems the quality of people nowadays (we are NOT talking about AIESECers, we REALLY MEAN IN GENERAL) seems to be decreasing......

Echoed with my previous post.

I am sure that undoubtedly I also feel that sometimes, but I always remind myself, that you need to find the good side of people instead of only focusing on people's not-so-good things.

I read a sentence before which I think is a very good one to remind myself,
"If you think your era is the best era and you are always better than those who are less experienced than you, then you will never be improved and developed again."

Mentee, it is nice to talk with you, especially when we were thinking some "mo-liu" ideas like Alumni Annual Movie Appreciation......


and,
cheers for the 1st trainee for AIESEC-pLC-POLYU!!!!!!!!!!
So glad to hear this......
Really want to be the witness there!!!!
Ricky and all other PolyU people, work hard!!!!

260505. 4th thought. More Knowlegde. Less Wisdom?

I am now having lunch at office, listening to an interview of Monogolian Singer.
Oh my God!!!!
For HK ppl, if you have been listening to RTHK these days, you must heard that song, that really really funny song...
Bcoz of the brainwashing from the radio, I bought the CD, and read the biography of this singer...


I never expect that we can have the chance to listen to mongolian songs....

The Information Technology is always boosting, helping us to connect worldwide, be able to reach to more resources and get more knowledge.

Yet, why HK young people are being criticized nowadays that we are less quality than b4?

In logical sense, a higher accessibility to different knowledge, should young people be more wise?

I dun have an answer on this......
what happen?

250505. 3rd thought. My dearest brother....

For those who are really close with me, I am sure that you know that there is one very strong support to me, and I would always think of him when I am sad and get kinda really demotivated by any issues.

This is my brother.

I met my brother back to 2 years ago in APEXPRO in Indonesia, yet apart from that "Michael Jackson's dance" and his english pronounciation, and some few casual talks during the conference, I didn't really get too close with bro.

By the time we know that we will meet together again in IC 03 in Belgrade (we were all proposed MC people at that time), we started off getting excited and I lept reminding him that my birthday is going to be the day after IC so therefore remember to bring me present :)

Yet I never expect things will turn up that way.

When we finally met again in the hot classroom where the pre-meeting was held, we seemed to be a pair of long lost friends, playing with each other's head...and very stupidly, he gave me the present 14 days before my birthday!!! It's a pair of China-cats. This is the most valuable present that I get (not in terms of money, but in terms of the "meaning" behind).

And following up are the tonnes of happiness and tears shed in IC, times to discuss our AIESEC life and personal life, running to basketball court but then found out the court was closed. AP partying at Charlie's room and got drunk together, and the time when I saw my bro up on the stage during the Closing Plenary dancing "fighter", and my tears couldnot kept from running out ......

and the night when my bro wore his funny hat and appeared in the bar and said something that I will not forget for the rest of my life......

We met again almost one year later in Taiwan, where he brought us to his family house in GongLiao (a place which I really want to revisit again when I go to Taiwan), and we chatted for nearly a whole night, sharing our recent life, sharing our happiness, sharing with our fears to be MCP and also going to military service......

I become MCP on 18/7/04, and he went to military service on 19/7/04. Seems like that we both heading to a new life.

During these 10 months, although we did not have much chances to chat (yet the no. we chatted on MSN is already exceeded my expectation, totally don't understand why serving the military will get so many holidays!), but everytime we chat, and share our life, I can get back the motivation and support to work and live happily again.

Despite anything, my bro is always my greatest support for me, and I really wish I can be his support, too.


The return date of his military service is 19/12/05. By that time, I hope I can be there to celebrate your be-lated birthday :)



You are always the best brother I get......

250505. 2nd thought. Virtues & Values?

Talking about AIESEC's Six Values, Activating Leadership, Demonstrating Integrity, Striving for Excellence, Enjoying Participation, Living Diversity, Acting Sustainably, How much am I really, LIVING them inside out?

Yet I truly believe, before talking about values, one should have good Virtues to support the living out of Values.
Virtues, talking about compassion, talking about wisdom, talking about politeness, talking about respect, talking about fairness, talking about diligence. Inner Beauty.

Before you ask yourself how much you are living out the values, try to reflect on yourself, how much good virtues that you have now?

I always remind myself on this. To build up my good virtues, then next is the six values. I hope I can be a better demonstrator on this everyday.

Virtues are the neccessities as a good person, AIESEC six values are the neccessities as a good change agent.

So, if change agent is a person, therefore, both virtues and values are needed, am I right?

240505. 1st thought .

Since I accidentally discover aditi's regard to me in gary's post, therefore, i decide to make one blog.

As a going-to-be alumnus, I have counted, I have spent a total of 4 years in AIESEC in HONG KONG, working hard and playing hard, making changes in myself, making changes in others.
Having a short review, that I think I am currently one of the few AIESECers who are still actively involved in AIESEC in HONG KONG development, the other one I thought is Ivan Wong, who I need to say, that is one of the most brilliant individuals I met in AIESEC in HONG KONG.
Witnessing the evolution of AIESEC in HONG KONG within these 4 years, from the change of CW design, discussion of identity, first year having 3 full time MCs in AIESEC in HONG KONG, coming year having MC flat and Nigerian and German working as MC, which I will never expect this to be happen in such a quick pace when I was an LC officer.

Everything is happening.

These days, I have been asked by many people, either LC officers, alumni, my 1st year MC teammates, my dear APMCPs, cool delegates I met in ILDS back to 2.5 years ago (yes, Matt I am talking about you^^), Are you happy with your MCP term?

How do you define happiness?

I tried to trace back what is my vision for AIESEC in HONG KONG when I bid for MCP 0405.

Then I know the answer. PEOPLE.

I realized, that I haven't told more than 2 people about my reason to go for full time MC.
And surely I did it in a very low-profile way and because of my childish outlook so up till today I still get many people think I am only going to be graduated this year ^^

This year, I allow myself, to devote in something I really want to do, and at the same time, to really find the life I want to lead.

This is my personal goal for my 0405 "jobless" year.

And, I did. I know what kind of life I want to lead. I am even clear that which way I want to go, what things I want to do, what do I want to tell my children when I am going back to God's embrace.


What makes you feel most satisfied when you are in AIESEC? Not as an MCP, not as a VPER, not as a VPIS. Just an AIESECer.

For me, maybe it sounds a bit too trivial, but to me, is truly important.

"Thank you AIESEC, I have learned and grow in AIESEC, and now, I decide to contribute myself to society, and make changes."


Is that where your greatest satisfaction of working in AIESEC lies?
