"Hope tomorrow"

Mong Kok to Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong, August 2019

八月某一個星期六,花園街的小販沒有開檔,意外發現整條街都有一些畫了不同花的電箱。

這一邊的旺角比平時沒有那麼熱鬧,但另一邊的大角嘴比平時熱鬧得多了。

It was a Saturday in August. The market stalls in Fa Yuen Street were not opened but I unexpectedly found that there were actually some painted electrical control panels in the street.

This side in Mong Kok had lost its hustle and bustle that day but on the other side in Tai Kok Tsui it was much busier than usual.

很多人從旺角走到大角嘴。
Many people walked from Mong Kok to Tai Kok Tsui.

Unrest

很抱歉,六個月後香港變成一個不適合居住的地方。
Sorry that, after 6 months, Hong Kong has become a place not safe to live anymore.

Two of the birds

Copying and painting, Hong Kong, May - June 2019

這幅畫仍未畫好。

剛剛發覺自己一直都沒有為完成品影相。

This one is still not yet done.

I just realised I never make photos of the finished paintings.


最近香港有很多雀都死了,很心痛。
Recently many birds are dead in Hong Kong. It is so heartbreaking.

Last year's Mong Kok in an ordinary afternoon

Mong Kok, Hong Kong, ??? 2018

我忘記了甚麼時候影這些相的,但應該是2018年的夏天,某個平日的下午。
I forgot when these photos were taken. But it should be summer time of 2018. An afternoon of a week day.

我愛我城,天佑香港。不想再失去任何一人。
I love my city. God bless Hong Kong. I don't want to lose anyone.

Those days

Irene & Sisi, Sai Kung, Hong Kong, April 2019

這是我最上一次行山了。以前會行多點山的。

我已經不太記得當日行了西貢那幾座山,但中途經過嶂上吃豆腐花、看看牛,接着行了去牛耳石山,然後回到西貢市中心吃晚餐。

想上山。

It was the last time I went hiking. I used to hike more often.

I have already forgot exactly which mountains we hiked in Sai Kung on this day. But I remembered we ate Tofu and looked at the buffaloes at Cheung Sheung midway and headed to Ngau Yee Shek Shan before going back to Sai Kung town for dinner.

I want to go to the mountain.
沒有預料要穿過這麼多植物枝幹。/ Didn't expect passing through the plant branches. 空氣一般般。/ The air is okay la. 我們的手手腳腳都花曬了。/ Our hands and feet were scratched along the way. 我。頭上的那頂帽已經不見了。/ Me. The hat on my head was lost. 在障上吃豆腐花時見到的花。/ The flowers I saw when eating Tofu at Cheung Sheung. 準備下那一條長長的樓梯下山。/ Ready to take the long stair to come down from the mountain.
大家都說路很漫長。
Everyone said there is still a long way to go.
