Recently I received a phone survey from someone who claimed to work for a company in Hong Kong wanting to setup branch here. Few weeks later, they said they are having some event at JB, Tebrau City Jusco shopping complex on one of the Sunday and invited me to attend. I did not go to the event. 2 weeks later they called me up again and said I have won their 2nd prize (cash prize) All the activities are conducted in Mandarin with over 10-15 phone calls. So far they did not ask me to buy anything but said to verify my identity and asked a lawyer from Hong Kong to contact me. Basically they got my NRIC number, d.o.b., my bank account number (say for the purpose to crediting the price money). The way I look at it, these are information easily obtainable with various technic (e.g. dumpster diving) and I have not much to lose so I gave them these data. (In one of my previous job, when running a lucky draw, we easily get about 1 million records of these information even with address and family member's information, so if this is a scam, why go through so much trouble ?) My questions are: - has anyone else received similar phone calls? - How can they take advantage of these information collected if this is a scam? - What else do I look out for?

Hong Kong’s MTR trains disrupted for 6 hours, morning commute thrown into chaos Mass Transit Railway (MTR) train services in Hong Kong were disrupted for six hours during peak hour on Tuesday morning (Oct. 16) due to a signalling fault, throwing the morning commute for millions into chaos. The disruption was said to be “unprecedented” as three lines broke down at the same time. They were the Island, Tsuen Wan and Kwon Tong lines. The signalling fault was first reported at around 5.30am. But at 10.18 am, a fourth line — the Tseung Kwan O line — was also affected. Commuters were told to take other forms of public transport instead. For those who were already inside the stations at the lobbies, they proceeded to the platform in 10-minute intervals. But for some who could not wait any longer, they chose to jump over the railings and leave the stations instead. Train services started to resume at around 11.45am. After the breakdown, operating staff had to drive the trains manually. As a result of the manual operation, trains ran at a slower speed — 23km/h instead of the usual 60km/h. Best in the worldHong Kong’s MTR has been acknowledged as the best in the world. Well-known vlogger NAS Daily even did a video on the MTR, calling it the “World’s Best Metro”. He also cited the HK$1 million fine MTR has to pay if a train is late for more than 30 minutes as the reason why trains are on time for 99.9 per cent of the time in the city. I think Nas Daily is a jinx.

It's been a hectic 2017 , some had enjoyed much , some wished 2018 the new year would be better ! A short trip is indeed a refreshment to perk up your drive for the many days ahead. Hong Kong , a bustling city of people , culture , modernization with an intense blend of the old . A walk down the streets of Hong Kong is never dull albeit the old houses . Enjoy the walk of life through Hong Kong as I filmed the transition of Hong Kong from 2017 to it's new year 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XETBVO7t48 Totally low powered after editing this film, which took 5 days of sightseeing and walking filming the scenes whenever I had the chance. As I took into my shock , I had more than 30 Gigabyte of 4K footage to edit and process. But it was pretty much satisfying to produce this short film as a remembrance for myself and my family to look back in the future. It is all memories. The new year also allows me to inject some spices into my old mediocre style of film production and I departed from my usual in this first 2018 new short film. Hope you ladies and gentlemen will enjoy !

We flew to Hong Kong and back recently on Tiger Airways, budget carrier owned by Singapore Airlines. Based in Singapore, TigerAir operates a fleet of 25 aircraft (Airbus A320) to almost 40 destinations. This is the first time we are flying with Tigerair. Overall, the flight for 4 pax (2 adults and 2 kids) cost us SGD $530 in total including taxes, return. This is about USD 375 or US93.75 per person. The flight from SIN to HKG takes almost 4 hours and the return leg about 3.5 hours. Our departure was early morning, 0605hrs. In this video, I show you snippets of Singapore Changi Airport that morning. Changi Airport is a beautiful airport. Very proud of Changi. They take a lot of effort to make it beautiful. Changi Terminal 2, early morning. In the line to board the plane. This video shows you the flight itself. Pretty smooth. We ate breakfast before boarding the aircraft, so we did not purchase any food while on board. The flight would be quite long, almost 4 hours. So what we did was to bring pieces of bread for discreet consumption. Tigerair's policy is that they do not allow outside food but they don't really enforce. That said, I don't think we should abuse this by bringing onboard a lot of food (especially if they smell!). So we bought pieces of bread from Baker Talent and our own water. We consumed the bread shortly after take-off and after that we went to sleep. Most pax also slept since it was an early flight, 0605 hrs departure. We got up just before 4am and took a taxi to the airport. At my seat. Aisle seat towards the front of the plane. Legroom was decent for a Budget Airline. I could put my bagpack underneath in front of me and yet have enough space to stretch out my legs. Waiting for more passengers to board. Cockpit door not yet closed. I could see the pilots making preparations for the flight. This video shows you some footage post arrival at HK International. We were at a satellite terminal and we had to take an airport bus to the main terminal. It was a very bright and sunny day. From the aerobridge, here is a cool picture of the Tigerair Airbus A320 that flew us to HK this morning. Good flight! This was taken from the airport bus. Tigerair uses the satellite terminal. So we have to be bussed to the main terminal for immigration and customs clearance. Check out my video for the bus ride and walk.

Remember when the internet went bananas trying to find out the date of Cheryl’s birthday in a logic question? Here comes another one. Don’t worry, this is pretty simple, as long as you know how to think out of the box. (Photo: Mashable) The puzzle is meant for elementary school kids, who have to identify the number of a blocked parking lot spot in less than 20 seconds. In the question, six numbered parking spots are displayed, with one blocked from view by a parked car. With the numbers, 16, 06, 68, 88, and 98, it does prove to be quite a challenge. The answer is simple: Just flip the image over, and the answer will be right in front you, clear as day. (Photo: Mashable) This puzzle appeared in a Hong Kong elementary school first grade student admissions test, and was circulated on Chinese social media platform, Sina Weibo. According to The Guardian, the puzzle was in fact created by British puzzle inventor David Bodycombe, who came up with the question when he was in a car park in Portugal. It was also published in a 2002 IQ puzzle book for Marks & Spencer. ========================================================================== It is L8 rite?? Cant be 87...

This is my blog landing page for a recent short family trip to Hong Kong and Macau. http://guitar123foodandtravel.blogspot.sg/p/hong-kong-and-macau-2015.html A very short trip, only 4 nights. We flew with FlyScoot (cheap fares but the timing isn't great). Upon arriving in HK, we had a quick breakfast at the airport and took the Citybus A21 into HK and stayed at Eaton Hotel, which is 380 Nathan Road. Over the 2 days, we had Tim Ho Wan (twice), Tsui Wah, Australian Dairy Company and some random food. We also visited Ocean Park and saw the Pandas. That was a very good day outing. We took the ferry to Macau and stayed at the Holiday Inn, Cotai Strip, for one Night. We didn't do very much in Macau, just walked around Cotai Strip. It was too rushed, so we decided against going to the old downtown Macau. Shrekfast at Holiday Inn was pretty cool. We took the ferry back to Hong Kong, stayed one night at the Regal Airport hotel, before taking the Scoot flight back to the Singapore. The plane was severely delayed. Plenty of videos and some pictures on my blog, for your reference. Hope it is helpful for other tourists. -

What's happening in HK in the past 2 days is pretty amazing.

CY Leung's daughter claims she was attacked by mother, says she's 'leaving home forever' Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung's daughter is sure to stir up more controversy with the most recent series of posts on her Facebook account, where she's been known to go on a lengthy tirade or two. In a public post published to her personal Facebook account at around 7:00 a.m. this morning, Chai Yan Leung accused her mother of physically assaulting her and threatening to call the cops on her. She ended the post by vowing that she will be "leaving home forever" and is "Never coming back". In a subsequent string of posts, all published within the same hour, the 23-year-old law student at the London School of Economics wrote "I'd rather be living on benefits sleeping on a couch eating cup noodles everyday than living the life I'm living now," and "I honestly wouldn't give a single f**k if my parents died right now this minute." She concluded with a "life event" on her Facebook wall declaring her departure from home "forever". It's unclear what exactly triggered the series of posts and whether or not police will investigate the assault accusations. About an hour beforehand, Chai Yan Leung had uploaded a photo of herself posing with Paris Hilton at an after-party for an amfAR fundraising event in Hong Kong. Regardless, it's not the first time the Hong Kong leader's daughter has landed in the spotlight for her outspoken presence on social media. Back in October, she gave a good tongue-lashing to her critics on Facebook after someone had seemingly likened a necklace she wore in one of her photos to a dog collar. She hit back by saying "This is actually a beautiful necklace bought at Lane Crawford (yes- funded by all you HK taxpayers!! So are all my beautiful shoes and dresses and clutches!! Thank you so much!!!!)". The post surfaced in the heat of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong—about a day after protesters rallied outside of her father's office demanding his resignation—ultimately landing Chai Yan Leung a slot as the subject of mockery on the US satirical talk show "The Daily Show". This is also not the first time she's used the platform to publicly criticize her mother. In July, she wrote a status reading: "Courage and loyalty are the virtues I value the most. My mother embodies the exact opposites of both." A source had previously told SCMP that Chai Yan Leung has been allowed to freely express her thoughts on her own Facebook page. Today's posts follow an announcement made in February through the same personal Facebook page that she would be leaving Hong Kong for "a while" and that she was cutting off communication with all media "for privacy". Her account seems to have been deactivated as of writing.

"The taxi driver and the two passengers in his car were confirmed dead," traffic police official Tam Wing-leung told reporters, adding the cause of the accident was under investigation.

HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday that the government is looking to restrict the number of Chinese tourists entering the city, following a public backlash over the influx of mainland visitors. The announcement came after a leading travel body said official figures showed the volume of mainland visitors over the Lunar New Year period fell for the first time in almost 20 years - attributing the trend to the frosty reception they receive. "We will continue to speak with Chinese authorities about whether or not there is space to tighten the (visitor) scheme to be able to control the natural trend of increasing mainland visitors in Hong Kong," the city's leader Leung Chun Ying said. Leung said the growing number of Chinese visitors has "put pressure on the everyday life of Hong Kong residents". Residents from 49 Chinese cities can currently apply for a multi-entry travel permit to visit Hong Kong. Leung said that scheme would not be expanded and that he would raise the issue at the next meeting of the National People's Congress - China's parliament - at the beginning of March. Hong Kongers have grown increasingly angry at the number of Chinese traders who travel to Hong Kong's border towns to stock up on everything from iPads to milk powder. Protests against the traders have led to violent clashes over recent weekends, with police using pepper spray. The semi-autonomous southern city of seven million people is also a favourite shopping destination for wealthy mainland visitors eager to stock up on Western luxury brands. Mass democracy protests at the end of last year also showed building anti-China sentiment, with tens of thousands protesting against Beijing's restrictions on the vote for Hong Kong's next leader. Negative sentiment has already led to a drop in visitors over the Chinese New Year according to Hong Kong's Travel Industry Council (TIC), which said it was the first decline in 20 years. Numbers fell 1.09 per cent to 842,124 for a six-day period, compared to the same period last year, immigration department figures show. "I think the string of protests is one reason... the news reports about these kinds of activities certainly upsets their mood for travelling to Hong Kong," TIC executive director Joseph Tung told AFP. He called the drop "alarming" and said Chinese visitors were travelling to other destinations which were more welcoming. But democratic lawmaker Kwok Ka Ki said further curbs were needed. He said an increased number of mainland visitors had "severely hampered" the city's transpiration system and it was harder for people to shop for daily necessities as stores focused on the needs of mainland tourists. "If Hong Kong is unable to accommodate the requests or to change the policy a bit to alleviate the grievances, this could easily turn into more violent incidents like in the past few weeks," Kwok said. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/asia/east-asia/story/hong-kong-mulls-restrictions-chinese-tourists-following-public-backlash-20#xtor=CS1-10

SINGAPORE - An 11-year-old boy who was found wandering along Marina Promenade on Monday night is believed to have been dumped here by his Hong Kong father. Police said in a statement on Saturday that they have established his identity and are working closely with the Hong Kong Police Force, who have detained a 45-year-old man there who is related to him. "Investigations are ongoing and arrangements will be made to return the boy to his place of origin as soon as possible," the statement added. Metro Radio Hong Kong reported on its website that the man is the boy's father and had flown from Hong Kong to Singapore, left the boy behind and travelled back alone two days later. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/boy-found-marina-promenade-was-dumped-hong-kong-father-2#sthash.DXPnVC2D.dpuf Hong Kong news reported that the boy is deaf-mute, his father is unable to take care of him so he decided to abandon him in singapore hoping he will start a new life here

Saw this on TOC and gave me mixed feelings, it was touching what his family did for him and at the same time makes me wonder what kind of "power" our President has or none at all. Watch and you'll understand.
