Nothing much to filter already... filter and filter then finally get nothing ga la... 
That's is Cafe de Coral, it's a fast food type of chain restaurants but not cha charn teng. Cha charn teng mostly don't have such established system, and cha charn teng is paid after you finished your meal.
SMS is ok I think... the most they charge you for overseas SMS is HKD2 per message. But I don't know about IDD call la... Yes it's readily available, you can get different brands of pre-paid sim card in 7-11 or Circle K convenient store. There is a 7-11 in Arrival Hall of HKIA, you can get one there. As per one of my M'sian friends who visited HK, he said the brand "People" sim card is the cheapest. You can compare when buying.. For Octopus card, get it in the counter of Arrival Hall as well la... the round counter in the middle..
yea... Japan even more nice x'mas deco~~ Originally think of going to Japan next week for 3 days but nobody available... seems lonely to go alone, so just leave it la...

HKD2 sounds dandy fine for a SMS, Maxis told me it'll be 3 way payment if i were to use their service, sweat lah wei. crazy de. need to pass through their network and then pay HK then pay Malaysia again, might as well spend on a prepaid card. prepaid card no special registration required hor? stupid Malaysia asked us to register prepaid numbers last year back IIANM. stupid move.
Octopus Card can get back the remainder left in the card, syok lah. i love HK's system. stupid Touch and Go here in Malaysia is sooooo fugged up. sometimes can just eat all your damn credit and you never know where your money goes.

HK is used to be more stable and safe than M'sia la.. Afterall it's Chinese dominated society so we are all treated and protected equally~ 
But living space is far smaller than M'sia lor..
no racism there right?! sooooo unlike here. But living space is far smaller than M'sia lor..
and yeah, living space is one of the reasons why i hold back when i make future plans of moving there to start a life. so small lah, can't take it.

just buy the Prepaid card and make phone call back to MY. It is very cheap only... i think about RM0.20 per minute if I am not mistaken. Just check around the phone charges rate before you purchase. There is one card that offer this IP phone call rate.
when you say prepaid, you mean Hong Kong prepaids? will do so, thanks. 
if it's RM0.20 per minute, i will 'call bao gei' already. 
and according to northasian she said someone mentioned 'People' SIM cards are good with nice rates.
