WHATS WRONG WITH U HK!?!?

Hey... look check it out Hong Kong Government is giving every permanent HK adult residence HK$6000 dollars.

That is approximately HK$40,500,000,000 dollars in together.
That is 425,300,000,000 Japaneses Yen.
That is 5,200,000,000 US Dollars.
3,000,000,000 in Euros.
3,200,000,000 in UK Pounds.

HK's Apparent Solution to something.... by Bloomberg

I'm just going to say this first I'm a Hong Kong citizen 21 years old. I'm definitely one of those people.

What is the problem????
THE WHOLE FRECKING THING.

WHO IN THE WORLD GIVES $6000 to people!?!?!?!? I can only imagine that this only happens when the government realizes they have made a calculation error with their taxes in the past year. So they pay them back/

BUT THAT IS NOT THE BLOODY CASE HERE!!!!

Just look at Hong Kong, does it looks like the people living here is in trouble??

Hong Kong is not in a economic crisis, causing people NOT to spend money.
Hong Kong isn't in a war, making people to flee the country.
Hong Kong hasn't stop spending.
Hong Kong doesn't have citizen fleeing away the country, in fact more people are coming in.

So why give $6000 to EVERY HK ADULT??????

You have so many other choices that is 40.5 billion times better than this.

You want me to list them???
Well here it goes:

1. Better health care
2. Better Education
3. Promote Environmental Awareness
4. Help fund Recycling plant and companies
5. Clean up the Air
6. Clean up the Sea

Should I continue????
Yea why not...

7. Creating Hong Kong more beautiful by re-furbish HK old buildings
8. Spend more on HK research departments
9. Clear up the dump sites or improve it
10. Purchase more environmental friendly public transport

But wait there's more...
11. Fund Police, Fire, Rescue and Import & Export department
12. Fund Government improvements
14. Improve the way we use cars through gas stations and use hydrogen stations or more electrical stations

IF you ARE sticking we must give money to the HK people. Give IT TO THE PEOPLE IN NEED. People that are disabled, people that are financially troubled, people that are too old to work for themselves.

I'm just 21 years old, barely any political ideas. Simple average kind of person. And I just came up with 15-17 ideas. Come on HK!

Just think about how many people in HK have already a decent standard of living. Seriously think about it!

HK people at an average has a high the standard of living. Compare to the standard of living with people in South Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, South America, Brazil. They don't have a standard that is even close be reachable to ours (at an average).

You know what we are going to do with the money???
We spend it, what for? We are going to spend that money on useless items that replaces one that you already have, which I like to add is still working perfectly fine. I.e. a new phone, or ipad or maybe a computer, tv?, games, clothing. Wait a min... don't we already have most of these?

What are we going to do with the replace items?
Throw it away of course. HK has an average of 100-300 square foot per person. Just enough room to have a wardrobe, single size bed and a tiny table. Barely enough to keep a useless item lying around. We'll just add it into the pile of dump, that is already starting to pour closer and closer to villages. HK is already small as it already is . AND you want US to spend on products that may or may not be useful?!




40.5 billion dollars, BILLION!!!!! I cant stress the word BILLION is how much.

Look....

A person cannot change a town or a city or even a country. It may start off with one person, but the person gathers people to think the same way. And those people affects others. And so on. Why can't it be the other way, why can't the bloody government an naturally established organization formed by the HK people, push us? Why can't the government start us off raise more and more awareness to making our country a better, cleaner and friendlier place?

Here's the cock block. The HK government is lazy, stupid, short brained group of people who decides on stupid ideas, because they only think what is in front instead of what is in the long run for HK. They don't see the point when they probably not going to be in this political position for long.

Those politicians only have to ability to think of ideas that monkeys think of.

You know what the worst of this? Only some of the people in HK would be complaining about this. And the rest would not because they are getting money what is there to complain about they say?



Thank you Mr John Tsang. By the way that was sarcasm if you haven't notice by now.

I'll respect you for the position, experience, and other work you have done.

But this move you did is just.... no.

You may say one of your reason is to boost HK people to support the government. But the truth of the matter is the GOVERNMENT IS MADE OUT OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. The government doesn't need support, the government need to have good ideas that would sustain the standard of living to every single person living in HK.

HK is always about fast, quick and getting the job done. This scheme is one too fast, and two too short to be even called a short term scheme. And it ain't doing jack sh*t. I bet once the government has paid every HK adult 6000 dollars, it would not change a bit apart from a sudden but short increase of money spent in the span of a month. That's pretty much it..... no cheers, no our government is the best, no support, just nothing.



Just think about it...

Movie Reviews: Red & Unstoppable

Its about time to reviews some movies that I have seen.

The movies I have seen recently is Red and Unstoppable.

Now let's start with Red.

The story goes that couple of extreme, professional, old school ex-operatives. In which they get hunted down because of unknown reasons. It starts with the hardcore action hero Bruce Willis as the main character in the movie. As it progresses the movie introduces some pretty amazing actors, such as Morgan Freeman(Jack of all trades), Helen Mirren (Actress who played the Queen), John Malkovich(Also Jack of all trades) and the 'lady' of the movie is Mary-Louise Parker (quite hot I might add).

Some of you may know that the movie Red is based on a comic book. I think there are some areas that are quite dull, simply because there was an intense scene and then boom. The scene after dies down and makes the whole movie a rollcoaster, going up with excitement and action and goes down with some simple jokes and talk.



I always think that action movies should be old school style. As in Die Hard, Commando, Rambo. At start the hero either gets into trouble or realize someone they treasure gets in trouble. The middle you would realize the evil doers are planning a bigger plot than we thought they were doing. Then the big fight, where the hero goes all out trying to save the day. Throw in a couple of jokes that guarantee a chuckle throughout the movie and there you go, an hardcore, old school style action movie.

Essentially the style of old school style action movie does sort of gets mixed with this movie Red but I have to say there's been a couple of gaps that the audience may find a bit dull. Since before it was full of action and intensely, we as the audience lose all the commotion and excitement because of the gaps.

However, overall I think the movies is not bad. If you like Die Hard, Die Hard with Vengence, Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard). The movie does have quite an stylish lady holding an machine gun and constantly shooting at cars, that was pretty cool. Mixed in with some jokes here and there, the movie is actually pretty good (but not as good as the classic action movies).



In comparison Red and Unstoppable. I must say that unstoppable has more of a the movie speed style. The movie is quite simple, its just a series of chain events that causes a train to be unstoppable.

The intensely of the movie is actually quite good. However, I did realize that if you take away the background music of the movie, the excitement goes down. And as all movies that punches the intense into your gut that quick, the movie ends quite short. Either way in the end, I do recommend the movie to everyone to watch that wants a thrill ride with a movie.

Probably at the end of the movie, it is actually quite a simple movie, that just so happens to have a set of chain events causing the problem to become bigger and bigger.

Is Reverse Engineering a now a everyday routine?

Is it me or is devices nowadays is becoming really easy to hack, mod and re-create?

It has only been less than 2 weeks since the release of Xbox 360 Kinect, release 4th of November in the US. I already seen two or three videos or articles about a mod from the Kinect.





Just think about it. The world now revolves around technology. Every single new piece of hardware comes out. Someone would have tools on one and computer on the other. Electronic products are being reverse engineered as we know it. There would be copies or modified hardware to suit the modder or hacker's needs.

I think what I hate is that company are becoming very protective of their products. In the world today, people are going to hack and mod it there's no doubt about it. I think they should be happy that some group of people is spending time to look into their product trying to understand how it works. Not every product gets reverse engineered, only the popular or products that people believe it has potential.

Everyday thousands or even millions of electronic products comes out in to the market to do one thing earn some money. Companies become so obsessed with money that they forgot the whole point of producing the product in the first place. AND To make it worst nearly all the big companies (and I mean multi-billionaire companies) goes off complaining about people hacking their products. They earn so much money! I bet if they dont get any sales for couple of months, they would still survive with no employees fired.

WTH CoD:BO?!



Ok, it's 8:26AM on the 9th November, 2010.

I bought Call of Duty Black Ops last night at 7pm on the 8th of November 2010. It suppose to come out on the 9th November, 2010. So I was really happy to get it early, hoping to play the singleplayer mode last night.

HOWEVER, like many enthuastic people cannot play or EVEN INSTALL the bloody game until it is the 9th. Here is what happens, when you click to install, everyone I guess was expecting Windows installer system to show up. Sadly no. It first says preparing system components to install. After it jumps into steam, to install the game. When you click next to continue install, a little devil popup window shows up and says along the lines of you cannot install this game yet.

SO I waited until it was midnight until it was the 9th. THAT didn't work. I even changed changing Windows Time and Date settings or the GMT time zones to Australia (I heard their games work). I even set download region from Steam to Australia. I got zip, nothing, the space inside a vacuum.

As of right now, I'm suspecting it the bloody game DVD itself. The Game DVD is probably from the US and Steam thinks that I'm in US. DUDE just look at my IP Address accessing into your Steam, it obliviously SAYS HK!

I know this is stupid to be complaining about. "Its a game dude just wait til the 9th" NO this is actually about the integrity of Steam systems. Dude if Australia works, how come mine doesnt? I waited til 12, Steam should let me, Why hasn't it?

Ugh now I have to go to work, knowing that many people had already finish playing the singleplayer. Now playing multiplayer ranking up, having loads and loads of fun. I was playing MoH, it suxed.... I wanted a good FPS and CoD was a calling. Darn you Steam, Darn you installation restrictions and Darn you Call of Duty Black Ops publisher Actvision, developer Treyarch.

Medal Of Honor Review

Ok, I think it's about time to give my review of Medal Of Honor.



I think the game is MEH.

It's quite realistic, but there are something that needs to be change.

Graphics were good I probably give 7/10.
Storyline wasn't much, a bit like Call of Duty but without the Zazz. You know what I mean? I'll say it should be 5/10.
Features? We'll, I didn't see much of a feature compared with all the other FPS/War/Realistic games.

You finish the game in an hour, like as if you had a blackout. What happen to games that gets exponentially difficult as you dive deeper. I remember first time playing Crysis, a huge boss in the end took me agesss to beat it. It was hard, that what's made it awesome to play! I played Crysis like 4-5 times!

To make it worst the game end in this crappy conversation trying to say something really philosophical or something like it! It's like a crappy movie where the evil guy is dead, but then a guy in the background says hey look another evil horde (end scene). Seriously what is up with that?! The least you can do is make the last fight or whatever to be epic!

Multi-player was quite annoying especially the snipers, there's pretty much no bullet time or a projectile effect (gravity pulling the bullet). It was like Counter-Strike but with less weapons. The maps doesn't really have proper cover spots, there's always some part of your body showing or holes in weird places. If you know the map well, you can get ALOT of kills. Spawn points are awful, and so many times, I either got killed or I killed someone from spawning in an open area. By the time you move, you get shot by a sniper and your dead.
It was small map, I was actually hoping for like similar approach like battlefield bad company 2. Medium size map with 20-30 players. But they didn't. The ranking ain't much to be high and mighty about, since it bloody easy to go up the rankings.

Here's a question, if i can prone in singleplayer, why can't I prone in multiplayer? As a sniper that is quite a useful position to aim and shoot people down. What you could do in singleplayer to be equal to what you could do in multiplayer no?

You know what, this game was quite focus for console gamers not for PC gamers. The simple and small menu size and layout is quite common for consoles. PC games have limited freedom to pick so do. This is what I hate, games that were design for console and changed to PCs. It's not RIGHT!. PC are not the same as consoles~! PCs should have the choice to be like Crysis.

This game overall should be around 5/10. I wouldn't recommend for serious war/action adrenaline junkies or console players. It isn't worth the money for it. I swear they spent most of their budget on advertising than the game itself.
