AISU Final E

To a number of members, our union was not doing quite well in the previous year. However, I’m quite satisfied with the performance already, considering so many uncontrollable personal conflicts amongst the people.

Well, it’s never an easy job to start this union as AI’s something new and complex to most of the people in Hong Kong and there’s also deep misconception that AI is just some hard science. We’re not running a business, which should be market-oriented at most of the time. AISU is a dream, of all those who believe in the missions of it and we should always keep in mind the objectives but not the superficial success. An organization like this is never a success when it’s deflecting from its missions, no matter how many people know the name of it.

Despite this I do support Michael’s suggestion that we should consider the market trend, but only in terms of the form of activity.

I recall the words of Oscar Wilde “Ah!  Don’t say you agree with me. When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong”

Watched “Phantom of the Opera” at AMC in Festival Walk at night

Haven’t watched any movie for really a long while. Felt good.

Bought a lot of food from the renovated Park’N shop “TASTE” before that. Quite full~~

Met Howard But when I just arrived at Kowloon Tong MTR Station. It should be 3+ years since I met him last time.

Yum Cha at UST and then went to Lai Chi Kok to get a new palm case.

Called Walter on the way. Well…his tone made people felt it’s like a secret visit to Ying Wa with the other guys. Originally I planned to go home afterwards yet I changed my mind after knowing thier visit to alma mater as I was really close to it.

Stayed there for unexpectedly long but didn’t meet lots of teachers. It’s nice to know that things are fine there, except for the Math Olympaid performance.

Then we went to Cheung Sha Wan for tea and chatted a lot. Totally can’t remember when the last time I met Ying Wa guys other than my year was.

Taught violin as usual. It’s really nice to see the student getting some significant improvement. Hope he can keep it.

Anyway, I’m still a bit stressed for his mother’s expecting him to take violin exam at the end of the year.

Went to Mong Kok and ate something in Hui Lau Shan there. It’s always great to eat. Haha.

Originally wanted to see Chinese doctor today….but the clinic just got its opening ceremony today…errrr…maybe I should go to the Tai Wai one these days.

Then rushed to Wan Chai to get the BR form. Gotta plan carefully for that.

Went to Prince Edward afterwards to quote price. Hope it’s a good try. Then had tea time at a small Taiwanese restaurant near the MTR station. The food tastes good.

Got hired for teaching Olympic Math in Tai Po. Well, the mother was the VP of AIESEC many years ago…How interesting!

to ymchiu: I think your sharing is very interesting.

to horris: I do think the reporter understood your words, but she just wanna make the title more “interesting” and “attractive” to readers.

I’ll post to you a very old interview in my Xanga soon. Anyway, that’s just an example. Another was when I led the math team of my alma mater to Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad.

After the competition they didn’t get any prize. As our school had a very good record in HKMO, the reporter of Apple Daily came and interviewed us for the feeling and also why they lost.

Well, I can’t remember my exact wordings at that time. Yet it should be very close to the followings.

The version of the newspaper appeared to be like this.

What the fuck!!

I did talk about the form of competition and I did say it’s related to result but it’s totally far from what she reported!

Well…my sister has even experienced more…

yes I duno whether Prof. Ng really said that, so i really duno whether she made things up or what. But I do think that if the interviewee said sth what we called INTERESTING, we should quote it after double-check.

How to do a double check? Use ur own wordings to reframe the Q and ask.

eg. you say u want to cry

so I am the reporter, and i wanna make sure what i think is right, so i will say “So, mr. Tse, u mean you are very sad and want to cry?”

then at this point, this is a double checking. You may ans “O yes”. or “No, I want to cry coz I am I feel very uncomfortable with my eyes”, or even like this ” um, I am sad, and i wanna cry, but not ‘very sad’. “

So a reporter should do so. I duno whether she did that during interview. But this is what I will do.

P.S. You have encountered bad experience like this before? Mind to share pls?
