Joint Roatract High Table Dinner



10月10日我參加了 Joint Rotaract High Table Dinner, 是 Table Guest 之一。當晚的題目為 Magical Moments, 台上第一節有梁家傑、劉慧卿及葛珮帆(EQ)議員分享,第二節有前補習天王 Jeffrey Hui, 作家深雪等分享。

第一節談到什麼是自己的Magical Moments, 梁家傑說選特首,卿姐說做立法會財委會主席, 尤其是卿姐, 她說每一個議員都去說服投她一票, 不理會他 /她是否泛民的陣營, 事實證明, 沒有偏見的拉票, 她得到眾人的支持。誰說一定要每一次都壁壘分明?

第二節 Jeffrey說到時間分配, 他說會將每天分做15分鐘一節, 這會時間好用一點, 如果要hea 也要meaningfully 地hea。我想, 15分鐘一節似乎太heavy 了。

我的同檯同學, 有些很清楚自己在做什麼, 這些同學散發自信的魅力, 完全感覺到她的「氣」, 有些仍未有自己的方向, 還是個小朋友一樣, 有點像小朋友扮大人。我對他們說讀書成績好與壞, 讀什麼科也只是一張社會入場劵, 做人最緊要有目標, 成敗得失決定在自己的心態。

如果敢think big, 肯下決心去做, 誰說你不會遇上magical moments?

2008 Rotary Flag Day

On Saturday I joined CP Eva, PE William, Chairman Patrick, and fellow Rotarian Joyce to sell "flags" on Rotary Flag Day.



We met with other Rotarians in TST at 7am for the opening ceremony, and proceeded to Mei Foo MTR station to "sell flags".



There, we spotted other members sporting the Rotary t-shirts and bags, from 12 year olds (accompanied by their parents) to 70 year olds. The other members represented other Rotarians and Rotary sponsored organisations such as the Interact Club and senior citizens center.

For a while business was good. We occupied a "prime location" where there was a lot of "buyers" coming out of the MTR station. After spending some time at the first MTR station, our group decided to move to another MTR station to make way for another group of flag sellers that had arrived. We stayed above ground as we proceed to the next sell point. As we proceed, we were greeted by other flag sellers on the way. There must have been 20 to 30 flag sellers in Mei Foo alone!



We greeted everyone as we passed. There was a sense of joy among us, to see so many people united, all awaken at 7am in the morning, standing in the street corner, carrying the same yellow bag. We were all working for a good cause.

Rotary Spirit

The Rotary Club of LKF blog is intended to be a venue whether club members can share their experiences as a par tof this great organisation. Through words and pictures, I wish members would use this blog to tell their stories. So lets begin with an introduction.


The Rotary Club of Lan Kwai Fong is a non-profit organization formed by volunteers who share a motto to perform "service above self". It is one of the 59 Rotary Clubs in District 3450 of the Rotary International, the world's first service organization.




Our Club consist of 25 young professionals and entrepreneurs who share an genuine interest in helping people. Our mission is to leverage the passion and experience of our members to complete local and international service projects that create lasting impacts. For the 2008-2009 year, our focus will be on community service projects on benefiting youth living in Hong Kong, with a focus on youth at risk.


Our members meet every Wednesday night at Le Manege, located at the 1/F Canton House, 54-56 Queen's Road, Central, Hong Kong. Dinner and fellowship starts at 7:30 PM, and meeting starts at 8:30PM. We elected to name our club the Rotary Club of “Lan Kwai Fong” because we believe that Lan Kwai Fong represents energy, entrepreneurship, and diversity.

Lan Kwai Fong is filled with energy, fellowship, and an entrepreneurial spirit. It is a Place where people “work hard” and “play hard”. It is a Club where “Rotary Shares” and “Make Dreams Real”.
