In a good mood today, since my first article for SCMP went out. I cannot seem to find it online, BUT I have another story that's selected to publish on American History of Business Journalism! So hyped up!

Read the story here.

This week, I started my internship at SCMP along with ten other interns.

The first two rounds of orientation have been nerve-wrecking for me, simply because of my damned introverted personality.

Anyway, saw this advice from Bloomberg Businessweek (which is a great magazine) and it really resonates with my belief:

"If I'm nervous, I'm in danger of learning something. I'm not nervous, I'm not pushing myself hard enough. So I've always pushed myself to do things that make me nervous."- Jeffrey Taylor, founder of Monster

亂寫

好久沒有寫blog了- 我這個人真的越來越懶。亦都是因為香港太多entertainment,加上工作， 喘不過氣來。其實我想好好寫些遊記，如我上禮拜的馬來西亞之旅。 

見人家的word press blog弄到有聲有色，我也決心開個比較專業的blog, 寫一些比較serious的文章。這對日後的resume也會比較好看吧。

今晚就出發去濟州及首爾了！籌備了很久，超期待的！聽說濟州的黑毛豬和鮑魚（對，又是吃！）很出名啊...

P.s.這幾天狂聽1872游花園的鬼故系列，又驚又要聽！想邊hea邊做其他野的人，我誠意推介啊！

想你了...

"BE THAT OTHER GUY"

Came across an article today and found this anecdote interesting:

Toward the close of the session, Carlson shared an anecdote that harkened back to Journalism 101. "So there's a guy who's sort of an upcoming reporter in the D.C. scene and works for the Washington Post or something like that," he said. "He gets transferred to Detroit to cover the automobile industry. He thinks he's a very smart guy, so he really studies up on and learns everything he thinks there is to know on the Detroit auto industry. So he goes up and meets a lot of the auto executives. Finally, at the end of a meeting with one of the executives, the executive talking to the reporter says, 'You are really smart. You know everything. You are really impressive. The last reporter who was in here, I had to tell himeverything.' The joke being --"

"You want to be that other guy," Weisenthal interjected amiably.

Carlson nodded, agreeing simply, "You want to be told everything."

Finals are piling up and it's nerve wrecking. One of the things I'm looking forward though, is my trip to Seoul & Jeju mid May :) 

Best and Worst Jobs of 2013

Before I clicked into WSJ's article, I did not have high hopes in the ranking of journalists

..and it proved to be true. "News reporters" are ranked at the BOTTOM of the list (#200).

:O)

Fingers crossed for business journalists.

"We spend so much time taking care of our bodies, we wash them multiple times a day, we feed them, nourish them, groom them, 

but we do nothing for what is inside of us, 

we walk around looking good on the outside whilst our minds have never been cleared,

they are cluttered, dusty, full of thoughts and memories that we haven’t let go of but drag along with us day to day like weights bringing us down."
