打工仔血淚史 (1)




加人工不在自己手中,

打工仔永遠無多勞多得、

事事聘命於別人、老闆

老門闆愛聽好聽的,吾想聽到問題!

契仔可以豪洗錢、你呢,樣樣算住 .

你越老越吾可愛……因為你人工高

你吾好以為自己公司幾十年好了不起,好忠心……老闆話我有糧出比你的!

你三個伍、小心呀?年個五十、月薪五萬以上、眼耳手脚腦都比其它人慢!

You are on the chopping list!

賣到嘢吾好牙擦擦、因為功是你上司領的……有什麼你老闆白痴做错……你最好準備接這個鑊代罪Kao!

吾能好以為公司好需要你、相反、你老闆話無左你、公司會發展得更能快。

中庸之道、有好計劃、比老闆知……等老闆做……真係掂的、你好彩、如果衰左,你最好準備一下身後事!

見到老闆偷食、扮睇吾到、見到老闆蛇王,釣魚、吾好周維唱……

見到老闆無拉拉鍊、吾好賴叻提示他、最好當看吾到。

工司有制度……坐飛機一定找到一些無績分又最便宜的給你……廉航之類……因為公司cheap 左、無法子了……如果廉航推出企位機票……一定有你份兒。

你應該有自知之名……你戴PP, AP or Rolex上班……請預左無人功加……因為薪水調整呢家嘢……有制度的公司都喺. 依仗個人主觀表直覺比分的……這樣才是真正KPI精髓所在。

He is A Chinese Calligrapher
 He Does not Open on Sunday.
 
 
 
Tsuen Wan is the terminus of the MTR Red Lane, I can say this is the central hub between East and West of New territories. An Important transportation terminal.
 

 
Even as late as in the 1950s, Chung On Street was still the only significant road in Tsuen Wan, and a small bazaar was formed here.

In the 1930s, the former Heung Yee Kuk chairman, Mr. Chan Wing On, founded “Dai Chung Teahouse” and “Ping On Pharmacy” in the area, and “Chung On Street” was named after these two shops.

Chung On Street in Tsuen Wan, better known as the "jewellery and goldsmith square" started  four years ago,

There are a few Rolex AD Shops there, namely Chow Seng Seng, two Chow Tai Fook and Tai Hing, where are within the same street.

Next Time, if you pass by Tsuen Wan, stop and look for some of the best local stuff there.

There are The Famous Wing Chun School, The Ti Da Clinic, the best Egg Omelets and Beef Noodles of Cala cafe.

The Melon Seed King, and the shop I used to buy Chinese special paper for my Calligraphy practice.

Don't forget Tsuen Wan has a lot of gold smith. As for Rolex AD, it carries sometimes a small surprise for you.

Why as most of the people would like to shop a TST?
 
Who will come to Tsuen Wan to Buy Rolex…so, it may be a hidden treasure for you.

PS or you may or may not know, the Hong Kong Highest Sauna is in Chung On Street...

Kathy's Rolex Daytona in 18KT Yellow Gold Ref 116528
 

Kathy the Ambassador appeared at IFC L'occitane yesterday... for promotion...Being one of her secret admirers....and I used to look at her long leg first and then her smile that that does make your coffee sweetened automatically, but this time, my eyes were caught by her Watch... “A Gold Daytona”


This Queen of the goddess stands at 175cm which is about 12 inches taller than I!


Though, I don't know what word is best to tell about her, I was fascinated by both she and her watch…

This is the Daytona I love too, no matters for men or women... It is gorgeous!

This is one of the Perfect of All Powerful Rolex Factors:

Sportive, Ceramic Bezel, 40mm, Colour and Contrast and Four Seasons watch.

Her watch looks like Ref 116528 Daytona in yellow gold MSRP HK$262,000


 



Rolex Daytona Ref 116505 2015

 

The one I like also, Ref 116505 Daytona Pink Gold with Ceramic Bezel, MSRP HK$269,300

Rolex Daytona already exists with ceramic bezels. The first one introduced in 2011 was the Pink Gold ‘Everose’ edition but on a leather strap and with a chocolate brown dial.

If you get by parallel import the price of Ref 116505 is about HKD$200,600.

Expensive to buy, Cheap to use!




I asked one of our sales managers what his first consideration of buying a pair of shoes.

He said:
First wearing comfort, then the shoes should lasts for minimum one year, and what price?

OK! That is almost the answer for average men…

If for very rich business man, he might think that a pair of shoes should be comfort to wear and an outstanding look, after all, the others are not too important at all.




If for Movie star, then will be different story, first consideration is good looking, second is comfort as they probably will wear them once only.

How about Car?
Well, if I were able to choose for just one car, I may select a Tesla Model X. Especially it fits City drive of HK.

When I buy, I Will consider these factors.

Quality
Durability
Technology
Brand name
Price





Good Stuff has good quality and it lasts, though it is a bit more expensive, but after years, they still perform like new… that is the satisfaction It brings me…


Parker 51 seems to be the most practical pen for me….
The attached one is a Burgundy with a rare Sterling Silver cap , it writes smoothly and it is always ready to.


I used to have a Zwilling twin snap red with aircraft aluminum handle, It is RED, sharp to be seen and sharp to cut. I had bought it 25 years ago. Until now, I have not taken for a sharpening at all, it can cut newspaper with its razor like blade!

For shoes, I have been using Ferragamo, Valentino, Clarks, Florsheim, Rockport, Timberland, Lloyd…

Until Now I think Only Clarks provide me 100% total Satisfaction and best performance with price over time.

The Active Air vent is one of the best feature  

Clarks is having besides the shoes itself is it Super comfort.


Watch, needless to say…. This is a Rolex Blog….


For these products I have mentioned here, The Tesla should work.  I mean I should not have any concern on electronics reliability.

As  Automotive industry has a very stringent requirements on reliability and test on those electronic and semiconductor being used. 


These are all a bit Expensive to buy, Cheap to use…


Next time when you make a purchase, think again why do you buy them for? 

And you should be happy going along with them because you have made a wise decision to purchase them.

Besides, they are all great brands....

Special Note when you purchase Rolex in Japan.

Whilst you are going to Japan for shopping, you might want to buy a Rolex for your own use or even for Collection.

Beware that you have to remind the sales executive not to remove the tape on your Brand New Rolex in advance.

As many of our friends were not aware , after the payment is settled, they remove the tape of the Watch faster than you can see....


So if that is for Collection, it has been automatically transformed from e Brand New into USED Rolex.

Please remind them and make sure they understand before you pay for that, same thing has happened colleague of mine bought a Deep Sea Black a Bucherer, even!
