DIARY: On the spot - John Snelgrove, chief excitement officer, aka general manager, corporate affairs, AXA China
<p>What's the best part of your job? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>All of it. I love it, especially having the freedom to express myself </p><p>and let my creative juices thrive. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>And the worst? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I don't really have one, although I dislike administrative chores. I </p><p>much prefer to create rather than fill in forms </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Your all-time favourite film and why? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I love Forrest Gump. Having grown up in that era and having milestone </p><p>events turned upside down by Tom Hanks' character really warmed my </p><p>heart. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Favourite restaurant and dish? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Hong Kong has so many good restaurants, it is hard to pin it down. I </p><p>love tom yum kung, and t he Aberdeen Marina Club's Balcony Restaurant is </p><p>probably my favourite Thai joint. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Do you have a favourite gadget? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I don't even normally use remote control for the TV, VCR or stereo, so </p><p>it would have to be the NICAM button - so that I can watch the English </p><p>football in English, instead of Cantonese. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Who would you want to play you in a movie? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>It would have to be a loon - Jim Carrey would fail on the London accent, </p><p>so it has to be Rowan Atkinson. He has the perfect rubber face to pull </p><p>it off. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>How would you title your movie? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I guess it would have to be Go Ahead, as Chee Sin Gwei Lo might not work </p><p>overseas. It would be a shame to do a movie, because the best part of my </p><p>life is still to come. So we might have to suffer Go Ahead 2, 3, 4 etc. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
