  • Stress/Opportunity

    Challenge, Challenge, Challenge, Challenge, Challenge, Challenge.........

    Always dun understand why my boss could trust a little child like me in such way. Scare most people i think. He put me in the team of one of the 3 innovative solutions launched by IBM HK recently. COBRA、SWOPS and SABLE. The last one, SABLE, probably is the first baby in my little career. Could be the first failure too, who knows?

    Most preparation works are over. Now is the show time for the fabulous Sales.....(better stop, approaching business secret)
    Frankly speaking, i have tried my very best but still something is not prepared very well i afraid.
    Believe or not, luck is always walking through my life. But this time, the true battle comes.
    The most exciting part is not knowing whether it will success or not while the most depressing part is knowing it might fail.

    To me, it is called stress.

    To my boss, it is called opportunity.

  • Presentation

    Nightmare again.

    No matter in secondary school, University, i always get scared by the Presentations.

    But this time, i see that as an opportunity to show what i have equipped in this year being a placement student. At first it is not a presentation exactly, My boss just mentioned it as a so-called "Tea & Learning" session letting me to introduce and demonstrate a brand new Data Security product he had assigned to me.

    The audience was originally My dear teammates, but tragically he sent invitations to three managers whom i have never met in this morning. This makes me really nervous.

    Get prepared, get prepared hot. The knowledges and skills are already there, deeply inside my mind. What i need is just package them in a tidy way. 

    Anyway, Life goes on and why scare? Lets rock the presentation and show them the professionalism of a newborn IBMers.

    Be smart!

  • "Well-Round"


    今天瞿葉春致電我,想取回高考的證書。這小子在拿證書那天沒拿提包,就放我那裡,一放就放三年,放到他大學畢業。現在他想必忙著找工作,才記那起那總結他七年中學生涯的一紙證書。

    你說香港的教育制度是不是如此一文不值?

    他此舉提醒了我也要整理一下自己的證書、文憑、獎狀之類,以免日後找不著。
    不整理不知道,原來我的Resume是很全面的。

    我將所有的證書、文憑、獎狀放入一個Folder Book ,每揭一頁,就彷彿播放我記憶中的某一個片段。哈,這本叫「我的人生」。

    第一章:中學生涯

    "Certificate of Appreciation of outstanding service for the school"
    "Awarded  Yick Seh Schoolaship'

    節錄了我中學時當福利幹事的光陰,哈,Service,正所謂三歲定八十,現在我的工作也是資訊科技業的 Software Service Sector。電郵的下款是:
    Leo Young
    Software Services
    IBM Hong Kong and China Limited




    "First in Mathematics and Statistics"
    雖然AL 數統既成績不見得人,這個記敘了很愉快一科,很小班的教學,M&S。還有,一位很特別,很有趣的老師,李紹榮。The King of GAP。


    還有找到很多零琗事,例如第一次賣旗(超冷)、中三的英文進步獎、中五的深水埗老人義工計劃、中六訓練營等……

    在華英中學裡,我得到很多很多,我不是那總明的一群好學生,也不是金毛飛仔,間唔中都會有些成就,又間唔中都會入下訓導處,重要的是我學懂了把握機會,積極去爭取成果。雖然是老生常談,但很實在。今天的我,有大部份細胞是在華英生長的。

    "This is to certify that Young Chin Kong has completed Secondary Seven in this college."

    第二章:大學

    "Internal Vice President of the Computer Science Society"
    "Mr Huang Yu Jen and Mandam Huang Peng Hua Chu Whole person Memorial Scholarship"
    這一頁叫做上莊,是大學生必修的一科。書可以唔讀,但莊一定要上。這是我一直相信的。
    雖然我這條內褲做得不好,但高興的是我改變了。一個組織所需要的,不是一個自以為是,只顧衝衝衝的人,而是一隊合作無間的團隊。I learnt a lessen.

    現在貴為老鬼,「樣賤」呢個名在CompSoc裡上了神枱,可以見到下莊和下下莊對自己的貢獻有一種認同,我心懷安慰。Ocamp,我仲可以參加多次,甚至幾次。


    "International Exchange Program at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne"
    "Awarded Li & Fung Scholarship"
    咁大個仔第一次出國,去呼吸異地的空氣,浸下咸水,我現在覺得當時的決定是我一生人中最的正確的。中國成語井底之蛙是有古人的智慧,一日未走出個井,一日都不知道世界是有多大。


    "One Year Placement in IBM Hong Kong & China Limited"

    正在努力去寫的一頁,一年的時間,是我選擇的,是我投身這行業的一份誠意。不知這算不算事業的起步點,但至少我知道,我在這一年裡,我很認真對待這差事,沒有一刻是枉費的。另外,可以置身在全球第一大IT服務公司藍色巨人實習,是一種榮幸。Pround to be an IBMer。



    前幾天,一位好朋友突然感慨起來,後悔自己在中學時不思進取,才得今天如斯田地。
    我說試問天下間有誰在年青時候沒有荒唐渾沌過?
    其實,那Folder Book收藏的只是毎個人生命中美好的里程卑,因為無人會將小時愉東西、玩門鐘、年輕時食大麻、亂搞男女關係的事都放在其中。

    但今天的我之所以是我,一定不只以上。里程卑往往只是一眼即逝的結果,薄如一紙證書,真正刻骨銘心的,是夜裡獨自哭過的晚上,是別人最難聽的說話,是用血淚換來的成功。

    最高學府的所謂全人教育,是要培育一個Well-Round Person,一個圓渾的人。未經打磨的人會有棱角,要變得圓渾,必須去經歷,勇敢去經歷人生的每一章。

    很幸運地我有一份有份量的覆歷,但我更關心的是,我可不可以成為一個有份量的人,一個Super-Round person。

  • Cant wait meeting Mr Chai

    Unfortunately, i got a cold and in return i was invited to take a sick leave. Probably infected from some colleagues, maybe Gordon Fung or Shanice. However, still i wish they will recover soon. Gordon Fung is a freaky funny guy, the teamates usually called him Girl Friend. He is the guy who always tells us some cold knowledge such as introducing some kind of fruit we never heard before.

     Pretty tried with RTC already......i need some other challenges to keep me awake. As Fung and Anthony 's birthdays are both coming, i have to keep healthy and kill them in the bar. Can you imagine what they will look like when both get drunk and vomit on the street. That could be interesting.  

    By the way, Mr Chai is flying back too.(I was paid to spread the message)
    Lets go to his place someday, Chai's home is really a good place to SLEEP!
    The sofa scores 95 out of 100 and i really miss that.
