深圳樂園路吃海鮮
28 May 2009 (Thu), after lunch, we went to 深圳 massage and 到樂園路吃海鮮. The price of the seafood was about 1/3 of HK price (about 100 元 per person). We went to one of the largest restaurant namely 华城. When we left around 12:30 mid night , there were still a lot of customers there.
Taxi fare from 樂園路 to Wong Kong was about 40 元.

We share same views about Tin Shui Wai
some 天水圍人的感覺. I share their views.
The following copied from other websites:
有時人地一問我住邊,我話天水圍,佢地就會有感覺,天水圍d人好慘...我真係好想知有幾慘,我真係覺得一d都唔慘,悲情城市??點會呀~我唔敢話最好,但如果去過天水圍or係天水圍住...都會覺得佢係一個好舒適既地方 ....
早前我前往天水圍做義工工作,接觸當地居民,得知他們生活,平常得像我和你一樣。他們活得開開心心,快快樂樂,並認為天水圍不是一個悲情城市。這套電影真實反映香港市民的生活,值得代表香港,往海外參加影展。《天水圍的日與夜》 - 天水圍人的生活 與你我他是一樣

Medical Insurance
We have renewed our domestic helper's insurance 2 days ago. It covers 門診 and many other items. But, the cost is much cheaper comparing with any other medical insurance for local residents.

Visit a 7-month-old baby
Having lunch at a Tin Shui Wai Chinese restaurant, we visited a 7-month-old baby this afternoon. We bought Swisso Logical Baby cream bath and body lotion for the baby. Our daughter has used the Swisso Logical since she was born.
We had diner at a Chinese restaurant located at 泓景臺 shopping mall. Relatively, it was cheaper than at Tin Shui Wai. I think Chinese restaurants in Tin Shui Wai should reduce their price.

Pok Oi Hospital in 10 minutes
In past 1 month, I went to the Pok Oi Hospital twice. The time of the 2 visits were around 2:00am. One good thing in Tin Shui Wai is that you can get a taxi very easily. From Tin Shui Wai to the hospital was just about 10 minutes by taxi. It is very convenient. I don't know why some people in Tin Shui Wai always complain that there is no hospital in Tin Shui Wai.

悲情城市 City of Misery
I have been living in Tin Shui Wai for more than 2 years. Frankly speaking, I have not come across any person who lives in Tin Shui Wai and who really needs help. Most of the time in Tin Shui Wai, I hear people are saying that Mr X or Ms Y has bought another apartment or how many flats he/she owns. Sometimes, when I go to visit my daughter's kindergarten, I see that the whole entrance lobby is occupied by domestic helpers.
天水圍VS「悲情城市」

三名住在新界天水圍的女子集體燒炭自殺事件,再度引起市民對天水圍社區問題的關注。「天水圍」愈來愈被「標籤化labelling」, 甚至有高官竟出言說天水圍是「悲情城市」。如果天水圍真是悲情城市的話,香港又算是什麼的城市?天水圍不是化外之地,她是香港特區的一部分。下次有人說天水圍是「悲情城市」,我們要大聲對他/她說:「請停止標籤!」.......
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tin Shui Wai New Town (天水圍新市鎮) is located in northwestern New Territories of Hong Kong. It is a part of the Yuen Long District, and is the second new town in Yuen Long. It is situated 25 kilometres due north-west of Central, Hong Kong on land reclaimed from low lying areas south of Deep Bay. As of 2007, the New Town has a population of 268,800[1].
"City of Misery"
In recent years, the town acquired a rather dubious reputation in Hong Kong for being an area where numerous serious family and social issues, including domestic violence, mental illness, and suicide occurs. The collective suicide of 3 girls through coal burning took place, attracting extensive reports from the local media. The image of Tin Shui Wai is thus severely tainted in the minds of many Hong Kong citizens; family tension and domestic violence issues are not limited to Tin Shui Wai.[citation needed] According to some Social workers, Tin Shui Wai is prone to family tragedies because of its remote location, limited employment opportunities, and high density of public housing estates.[5]. Some would also argue that the large number of new immigrants from Mainland China in the area, struggling to adjust to the different cultural and social dynamics of Hong Kong, also contributes to the problem.
In 2003, a mainland woman, who had sought help from both social services and the police, and her twin daughters were stabbed to death by her husband who then fatally wounded himself.[6]
In April 2004, a man killed himself after stabbing his 31-year-old mainland wife and two teenage daughters to death in their flat in Tin Shui Wai.[7]
In July 2006, the Director of Social Welfare, Mrs Carrie Lam, labelled Tin Shui Wai "City of Misery" (悲情城市). Lam's comment was criticised because it did nothing to solve the social problem within the town[8]
In October 2007, Mak Fu-tai, a 36-year-old woman suffering from mental illness bound the hands and feet of her 12-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son, and threw them out of a window in their 24th floor flat at Yiu Fung House, and then jumped to her death. Mak's husband, also with a history of mental illness, was hospitalised with terminal cancer. The deaths spurred a review of the inadequate social services provision.[9] This spurred some 20 non-governmental organizations to plead with the Legislative Council's welfare panel for more resources to deal with the problems there.[5]
On November 25, 2007, numerous residents rallied outside government headquarters to push for more aid and reform for the area. Many demanded the government to create new hospitals, jobs, and increase police enforcement in the town. [10]

Education Fund
Kids are our hopes. I have a daughter and she is studying at one of the kindergarten in Tin Shui Wai.
3 years ago, I created an investment plan for her namely Education Fund. It is a monthly stock saving plan. The stock I invest is 恒生H股ETF (2828 ). The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index ("H-Share Index") was launched on 8 August 1994 as a benchmark for the stock price performance of the China incorporated companies listed in Hong Kong. Shares of these companies are called H shares. Monthly report of 2828: http://www.hangseng.com/hsb/eng/per/invs/pdf2/20090504_2828_en.pdf

Mother's Day
My wife and I had breakfast at 嘉湖銀座大快活. As usual, there were so many people and we had to wait for about 10 minutes. Sometimes, I think that if they were poor (as described by mass media or people living in urban areas), they should save their breakfast money.
We had diner with my parents and my younger brother and his wife at a Chinese restaurant.

Lunch at Tsim Sha Tsui
My first round of Mother's Day celebration this year started today. We had lunch buffet at Kowloon Hotel with my mother-in-law. The food and price are reasonable. But, today no credit card discount was given.
Though my mother-in-law is still not yet classified as the elderly people, I think it is a good place for the elderly people as they can enjoy sepcial discounts.
Before we left Tsim Sha Tsui, we bought a dress for our daughter at Marks and Spencer.
We had diner at home with my mother-in-law and after it, I decided to write this blog.
