Judging task @ Indonesia World Philatelic Exhibition 2012 雅加达世界邮展当评审

集邮活动在年轻人当中日见式微，却是一项很适合上年纪的人陶冶生活情趣。集邮从一项嗜好而发展到今天拥有世界各国邮会齐聚一起的国际组织。每年都在世界不同国家地区主办邮展，让集邮爱好者组集参加比赛。因此国际集邮联（FIP）每年都在培训评审，集邮爱好者可以透过参加邮展比赛，按部就班得考取评审资格。每一个邮展，参赛邮集很多，也需要众多来自各国的评审负责评分工作。评审工作繁忙，为邮集评分都得在邮展期间2天内完成以免拖延了成绩公布的一切安排。评审一天工作14小时并不稀奇，能够观赏许多珍邮，虽累，心里却是宽慰。一般评审在邮展的头两天会非常得忙，下来的时间在卸下重担后，可以往邮展厅看其他的邮集或逛逛邮市买邮品了，再不然，就到邮展邻近的旅游景点去游玩了。

The hobby of collecting stamps is getting unpopular among the younger generations, however, it remains a favourite pastime for the elderly ones. Stamp Collecting had been developed through a century with an international body established i.e the Federation of International Philately (FIP), which governs and unites global philatelists. Each year  FIP organises philatelic exhibitions at predetermined hosting country. FIP world philatelic exhibition is often known as the Olympics for the Stamp Lovers, it is a world event that philatelists gather and compete for an honour. FIP at the same time prepares and trains Juries at each World Philatelic Exhibition to serve as judges for each competition. A Philatelist is able to qualify himself as a FIP jury following the steps by beginning as an exhibitor. FIP Juries' work are hectic as the judging results are usually required to be completed within the first 2 days of an exhibtion, therefore , at times juries have to work up to 14 hours a day to get the work done within time. Although judging exercise is a wary job, however, it gives the opportunity to view and appreciate the many philatelic gems of the world, which is a great consolation in return. On completing the judging works, juries are able to go round the exhibition hall looking at many of the other world class exhibits, hunting around the philatelic booths buying philatelic materials or join a short trip to visit the nearby tourist spots.
