與會者陸續到場，可能是因為每年都來開會，她們和本虎的同事們顯得都很熟悉了，隻有本虎因為是新來的，大家進來也就是打個招呼。
這時，終於，一位優雅的東方女性款款走來，我們例行地自我介紹後，她就坐在了我的對麵（長條的桌子，所以離得很近）。這位中年女士是韓國人，目前在曼穀工作，她的名字叫金恩珠(Kim, Eun-Ju)， 本虎還不知天高地厚地請她在紙上用漢字寫出這三個字。
金女士始終是麵帶微笑的，在會議正式開始前用餐中，她一直溫文爾雅地吃著盤子裏的魚和胡蘿卜，不時地和左鄰右舍說話。本虎是近水樓台，和她聊得最多，她詢問了本虎的教育和工作背景，我們甚至聊到了韓劇和中醫。她對中國的情況也很了解，並稱讚我們的吳儀副總理是了不起的女性。
直到我們的主持人開始講話，本虎才恍然大悟，坐在對麵溫和的金恩珠女士是整個國際電聯職位最高的女性－－電聯亞太地區的一把手。大家都把她當成在場女性的驕傲，本虎還真拿著豆包沒當幹糧，跟人家傻說了那麽半天。
大家開始輪流發言了，本虎注意到不少人仍然在繼續吃東西，或交頭接耳，金女士（大家都稱她金博士,Dr. Kim，本虎卻覺得這個比較男性化的稱呼，不適合她這樣一位最愛藕荷色的溫柔女性）卻是即刻放下了刀叉，再沒碰過，並且拿出紙筆認真地傾聽、記錄。
輪到金女士發言了，她的講話從結構上十分有條理，內容上又看出她是非常細心的人。她說，１９９２年她第一次參加這樣的早餐會時與會的女性隻有５人，而今天在座的共有２５名女性，這本身就體現出這十幾年中電聯內部女性地位的提升；把目光放到國際電聯以外的國際組織，金女士說，最鮮明的例子就是中國香港的陳馮富珍女士在２００７年１月就任了世界衛生組織總幹事。金女士滿懷信心地說，如今有許多人致力於改善婦女生活、提高女性社會地位的工作；聯合國秘書長也對在國際組織的女性職員狀況十分關注、很多國家的大學還設有專門的獎學金，為女生提供更多的接受高等教育的機會等等。
工作午餐結束了，本虎有點戀戀不舍地和金女士告別，其實隨身帶的手機就可以拍照，但是考慮到本虎作為主辦方的一員，如果隻和金女士拍照可能會顯得厚此薄彼，隻好揮揮手，不留下一張照片。
回來在網上搜索了一下金恩珠的名字，天哪出來的全是一個同名的韓國當紅女星。還是搜索了她名字的拚音Eun-Ju Kim才有了下麵一段英文簡介。
