“Niece of judge held for slapping cop

What relevancy does these two story has???

Well, It will be a good benchmark to see if the rich get away with a slap on the wrist for slapping a cop or the poor (the protesters on the Anti Rally Rail) will get jail time.

Will this case further re-affirm myself that law is on the side of the rich. The poor. You have to fend for yourself.

In the good ole U.S.A., slapping or any type of bodily harm to an officer of the law is a felony.

Hong Kong law…I don’t know. I guess…you get 10 hours of community service for slapping a cop(only applies for the rich felon). For the anti rail rally who protested for a certain belief will get 10 year in the jail (most probably).

If she indeed did not get jail time for slapping an officer of the law, please don’t tell me Hong Kong is based on the rules of law. You martha farkers get away from me. Hong Kong is no different from any other third world country.

I am thinking aloud.

Note: somehow my blockquote not working.

Some friends of my wife came over from Taipei. Took them to The Peak to check out Hong Kong scenery. A good opportunity for me to practice some photos taking.

This shot is from the Sky Terrace. Just to go up there, you need to pay $25HKD.

That is not included on the price of the Tram going up. $36HKD for the round trip ticket.

If you want to go into Madame Tussauds, it’s $160 HKD per person.

This is my second time visiting The Peak. The first time was somewhere 2003 during Spring Festival.

I came during daytime. Don’t know how to appreciate the beauty.

But at night, the scenery was just stunning.

I just pick this site up via angus tweet on a new online start-up printing biz card.

Check them out Kuukie. I might give them a try. Not that expensive. Only one problem. Limited selection.

My blog card was printed at OOprint.com. Not cheap if you convert the price into HKD. So, I think Kuukie is a better alternative.

All of my friend ask me to go Print100 in Hong Kong. Maybe…one day, I will give them a try.

This my dream blog/biz card. You can check them out at Dreamten Studios

This is another one that I like at Creattica.

The Grandcinema is becoming our favorite hangout. The seat are bigger and it vibrate with the theater sound system.

Yesterday, I went to the Anti-Rail Construction Rally at Legco Building. I was there just to be counted as a number and take some pictures around the area.

The contentious area of discussions – location, price and displacement of villagers. Am I for or against the rail construction? I am for the rail construction BUT the government must re-locate the location and NO displacement of villagers.

I was told (correct me if I am wrong). The villagers are offered $500 Hkd per square foot. The average price per square for any decent apartment is $3,500 Hkd up. All I am asking for is fair price regardless whether that land is zoned as agriculture.

At 10.45pm last night, the legislators delay the funding approval, again. They will re-convened next Friday for further discussion. My thought, it’s quite futile. What these politicians are doing is just a side show. The approval will come. It’s quite unfortunate.

All I hear from those opposing politicians asking the ‘WHY’ questions. When you ask someone ‘WHY’. The other side can come up with thousand of rebuttal. I did not hear the key word ‘REVISE’. No one is proposing or asking those involved to revise their proposal otherwise it’s a no GO. This is one reason I think the Rail Construction will get it funding approval (I could be wrong).

These are the guys/gals that I admired. The walked like ten steps or so and came down bowing (I don’t know the terms for it in English) from Sheung Shui (I think) to Central. After arriving, they continued to walked encircling the Legislative building. For a cause they think it’s right. You have to be there. It was quite emotional.

My opinion, to be effective and get your voice heard, the opposition party and the protesters need to turn up the noise decibels a thousand percent. At the present situation, well… I can only….sigh….

I am thinking aloud.

I don’t talk much about trading in this blog but this one I have to. Too much excitement.

GBP/JPY – holding a long position since Jan 6. I don’t know whether this trade will ends up making money but it’s a good start for the year.

This year, me and my friend are getting together to trade the market, again. We tried once but the result was very bad. We blew up our account. This time both of us trade on one single technique. Time frame 4 hour. I have not traded this kind of time frame.

I am excited because it help me to calm my emotional roll-coaster and having a trading partner bring me up a notch on discipline wise. Who knows, we might make some revenue along the way.

Keeping my finger cross.

Last year we went up to Tsuen Wan…but was disappointed with no fireworks. This year, I went down to Tsim Sha Tsui again.

I took the MTR to Jordan and walk from Nathan Road down to the Star Ferry Piers. In between, I stopped by Commercial Press bookstore and hang around for an hour before trekking down to the Piers.

Passed-by Chung King Mansion. Have to take a pix.

As I passed-by 1881 Heritage, I went in and started to click away…too much time to kill. It was around 10pm.

Took a pix at the moon.

The fireworks – did not take any good pixs. Mainly due to my spot and many hands and heads in front of me.

This is best I have…

Happy 2010.
