Story of Ben Ng - Chapter One: Where It All Began Ben Ng的故事 - 第一章:人之初

大家好，我是Ben Ng，好開心可以加入Steemit這個社群，謝謝 @htliao 的分享讓我認識到Steemit。二十四歲的我是一個喜愛學習、交流、分享、探險的浪漫主義者。希望我接下來分享的故事會讓你喜歡。
Hi there! I am Ben and glad to join the community of Steemit. It should be the honor for @htliao to let me know Steemit. As a 24 years old guy, I would say that I am a romanticist who enjoy so much to learn, share, interact and explore to make the world great. I hope you would enjoy my story!!

經歷過傳統男校、艱辛的副學士課程、到自由奔放的大學、再到現在與另一位steemian @michelleluilui一樣，是Kafnu HK的社群經理，這些年都是活得無悔的。
From a traditional boy school, to a challenging associate degree, to the most awesome university life, and finally as a community manager in Kafnu HK with another steemian, @michelleluilui. I have experienced lots of amazing moments.

背負著「末代會考」、「末代高考」的標籤，在公開試中失敗，但選擇入讀社會科學副學士，最後亦感恩地得到4間不同大學院校的offers，最終以香港城市大學的文化及文化遺產管理課程作為我的大學主修。這4年 ，我學會了何為「學習」、「個人與社會」、「藝術與文化」。
Labelling as “the last group of students of HKCEE and HKALE (old education systems in HK)”, I failed the HKALE and took a course of an Associate Degree of Social Science. No pain, no gain~ I eventually got 4 different bachelor offers from different university departments, and at the end, I chose the Culture and Heritage Management in CityU HK as my major. In these 4 years, I have started to know what is “learning”, “individual and society” and "art and culture".

學習: 由平平無奇的3.3GPA到3.9GPA，最後成功入讀大學，一切都是愛上了學習
Learning: From 3.3GPA to 3.9GPA and finally got the university offer, it is all because I love learning.

個人與社會：七一遊行
Individual and society: Hong Kong 1 July marches

個人與社會：雨傘運動
Individual and society: The Umbrella Movement

藝術與文化：愛博物館、藝術畫廊、古蹟、經典電影、獨立音樂，半個偽文青就是這樣練成。
Art and culture: museums, galleries, heritages, classic movies, indie music, that's my HIPSTER LIFE!

那4年，走過不少大地，西藏、新西蘭、東歐、巴爾干、東南亞都在那些年間盡量遊歷。亦特別記得2年前， 到荷蘭當一個學期的交流生，與11位來自不同國家的交流生共住一棟屋，歡樂之餘亦大開眼界。今後亦會在此寫一下旅遊文章。
In those 4 years, I have taken adventures to Tibet, New Zealand, Eastern Europe, Balkans and South-east Asia. Especially 2 years ago, I became an exchange student in the Netherlands. I was living in a 3 floors apartment with 11 young people from various countries. Always being together in balcony time, beer time and happy time. And of course, my horizon have been widened definitely! I will write some articles about travel here as well.

那時候亦常到歐洲各國當背包客遊歷，自由自在。最念念不忘的有黑山共和國。
I was always being a backpacker to travel wherever I want in Europe. One of the most creditable and unforgettable place must be Montenegro.

回港後很想為自己的社群貢獻一點點，於是主動與大學同系朋友組織起來，於大學的最後一個學期共同出版了一本叫「巴潛」的刊物，一共四期。當中籌錢、印刷、設計、排版、插圖、寫文、分派通通一手包辦。絕對是大學時期的「我的驕傲」。
After I came back to HK, I wanted to contribute something to my community. Thus, I associated with my friends in my program and published a booklet called "巴潛", in 4 volumes total. We did all the jobs by ourselves including crowdfunding, publishing, designing, editing, illustrating, writing and distributing. That absolutely is my heritage to symbolize my university life!

其實我亦是一個精釀啤酒迷，畢業後在酒類專門店工作，所以精釀啤酒、葡萄酒、威士忌等精品酒都是我的最愛。
Indeed, I am a craft beer geek. I had worked in a liquid shop so I am into craft beers, wines, whiskies and other spirits.

最近我亦考獲BJCP國際啤酒評審，83／100的品飲分數（國家級評審水準）可能令我成為全港最年輕得到這分數的人（？）。無論是否，我都會繼續謙卑學習，追求進步。
Recently, I passed the tasting exam of Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) and I got 83/100 (a national level of tasting exam). Probably, I am the youngest man to achieve this score in HK? But diamond cuts diamond, I will do my best and be humble to learn more and more!

我亦是個家釀啤酒愛好者，喜歡自己啤酒自己釀！而且我亦是個啤酒博客（在亂世嚼一杯），喜歡將啤酒與社會文化結合，所以今後亦會在這裡寫關於精釀啤酒的文章。
I am a home-brewer who like diy my own recipes and create my beers. I am also a beer blogger (beer in chaos). I love to write the association and imagination between craft beer and culture/society. Of course, I will keep writing some articles about craft here (Mainly in Chinese but hopefully write some in English soon).

我亦喜歡潛水，是個PADI進階潛水員，香港的朋友歡迎一齊出海哦！
I am a diver too, a PADI Advanced Diver. Please join my dive and show me your amazing dive logssss!

Finally, hope you like my story. One more thing, Cheers!!!
