A break with a cup of Masala chai

Eunice in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, March 2022

最近看到有文章指香港人在工作上是亞洲區內其中一個最不愉快的一群。真是令人傷心的事實。很希望這個環境與氣氛會有改變,但我想會越來越困難了。

這裏是幾張我在幾個月前在一個悠閒的下午影的相。我喝了一杯用燕麥奶沖的印度奶茶。不談工作,好好放鬆。

I recently read that Hong Kong has one of the most miserable workforces in the region. It is very sad but true. I really hope this culture could change but I feel like it becomes more difficult now.

Anyway here comes a few photos taken in a relaxing afternoon from a few months ago. I drank of a cup Masala chai with oat milk. Just chilled. Let's not remember work.

The little egret

當日在大棠野餐,天氣不錯,還見到一隻小白鷺。

Where I put the bits and pieces I like together (II)

最近又停了幾個月沒有動手了,短時間內都不會完成到。只希望可以在冬天前完成到。

Going back to this shirt.

I have stopped working on it for a few months. It won't be completed in a short period of time. I hope I could get it done before winter.

It was a year ago I last cycled

今個冬天沒有行山,又沒有踩過單車。現在看看上年有次踩單車的相。那天還發現到一小片紅樹林。

我都記不起今年都好像仍未影完一筒菲林。不過到這一刻,我都是放上年影的相上來。

這三年好像消失了。

This winter I didn't go hiking nor cycle. Now let's look at the photos taken from last year when I went cycling. On that day, we discovered a small patch of mangrove forest.

I can't remember if I have finished one roll of film this year. But anyway, till now, I am still posting photos from last year.

I feel like these 3 years have disappeared.

Where I put the bits and pieces I like together

Me doing embroidery, Hong Kong, December 2021

有段很長的時間沒有心機做自己一直很有興趣的東西。除了看大量的Youtube外,有天突然心血來潮買了件白色裇衫,並在上面做刺繡。不過繡了幾個自己喜歡的圖案後就半途而廢了。

現在裇衫閒置在櫃頂都有差不多兩個月了,過多一段時間再有興趣就繼續繡吧。不過夏天都快到,就算現在繡好了都要等多大半年才可以來出來穿。

相中我在繡Matisse畫的那塊面。

p.s. 我用了普通針線來繡。

There was a long time I wasn't in the mood to do anything I have been interested in. Other than watching huge amounts of Youtube, one day I had the compulsiveness to buy a white shirt and started doing embroidery on it. But I gave up after embroidering a few patterns.

Now the shirt has been leaving aside for nearly two months. Let's start again when I have the interest again. But summer is coming soon. Even if I finish it now, I still need to wait for more than half a year to wear it out.

In these photos I was embroidering one of the faces from Matisse.

p.s. I only used ordinary stitching needle and thread.
