Hong Kong reporters -- what really went wrong...

GG has just hosted a party and there was supposed to be a few reporter friends there.

阿聰o係email話:
You're sure they're only interested in wine but not interested in making up stories? I don't want to see squares covering my face in the newspaper. =P

I think the perception we have on reporters are the most visible and mainstream reporters -- they do whatever to get your attention for profitability and they make ethical judgements based on only whether it's illegal....

Sadly I don't think the real culprit is the quality of the reporters, it's the mainstream HKer mentality. Reporters just happen to be more visible because they ARE the media...

it's all a matter of points of view

on sunday night...

what happened: a friend of mine had 4 japanese girls came to visit her from japan and i was invited to their dinner. I invited them to my place after dinner.

Last night I talked to my friend on the phone and she told me their conclusions are:
- i'm very kind because I treated them a bottle of muscat
- I'm very sweet because as a guy I would mix drinks for girls and cut the cakes up
- I'm very charming because I talk like those in their comedy shows
- they asked my friend if hong kong guys are all like that?

My conclusions:
- Japan is seriously lack of good guys
- girls come from Japan rural area are very nice and generous in giving good comments
- I need to relocate to Japan instead of Argentina
- I told my friend to tell them that hk guys are all like that in order to boost up HK's image (but that would probably make more single hk girls harder to find a partner)

Problem:
- I've got carried away after a few drinks and said I can stop over in japan during my visit to hk this xmas
- my friend called me about the logistics of my itinerary and accomodations but I feel bad to tell them the truth is I need to visit China this time
