The easiest way to get the satus you want is probably to marry a HK Permanent ID Card holder.

so your saying, even tho my dad comes with me to hk i cannot get any statis in hk but a visitor? ive talked to hk immigration they said that i can get one if my dad is able to get his hk id back.

Maybe a good idea to get a second opinion from HK Immig themselves - call again and likely you'll get to speak to a different officer (or hang up if he/she sounds the same). You can also ask things you hadn't earlier. (Some calling cards in Canada make calling HK dirt cheap, so you can have lengthy conversation).
