You never know

Hiking with Irene and Sisi at Lantau Island, Hong Kong, February 2021

今年年初行了一次山，下一次就已經是今個月 (11月) 的事了。

已經忘記行了那座山，只記得當日天氣很熱，我受不了當時的天氣要提早下山。下山回到馬路邊時見到有個踩公路單車的人撞車，我跑過去就見到他頭骨凹了，看起來很辛苦。其他人已為他報了警，但因為意外導致的塞車，令救護車遲遲都未能到達。當時自己的腦海只想到可以做甚麼減輕他的痛楚，於是馬上把自己的外套摺起來枕着他的頭，以及開遮為他擋太陽。

第一次遇到這種情況，手不其然地在震。

At the beginning of this year, I went hiking once.

The next hike was only happened until this month (November). I have already forgotten which mountain we went. I only remembered it was a hot day which I couldn't stand so we left earlier. When we went back to the roadside, we saw a road biker having a traffic accident, lying on the ground. I immediately ran to him. Other people had already called the ambulance. But it arrived very late because of the traffic jam caused by the accident itself. His head was ruptured and in great pain. At that moment, I could only think of what I could do to sooth him pain. I folded my jacket into a pillow, using it to support his head, and opened the umbrella to block the sunlight.

It's my first time to meet this kind of situation. My hands were shaking.

Oral stage

Baby nephew, Hong Kong, August 2021

對自己感到很抱歉。剛剛的一個月沒有心機去做自己一向喜歡的事。沒有畫畫、沒有寫字，又沒有影相。在僅餘屬於自己的時間中，只做不需要動腦的事。

I feel so sorry for myself. In the past month, I was not in mood to do anything I have been interested in. I didn't paint, write nor take photos. During the very limited time that really belonged to myself, I only did things that didn't need to use my brain.

After Satoshi Kon

Eunice in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, September 2021

在戲院看完今敏的千年女優之後。這一個星期內看了三套今敏的作品（另外兩套是藍色恐懼和東京教父），非常滿足。

After watching Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress in the cinema. I watched 3 works of Satoshi Kon (the other 2 are Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers) in that week. It was satisfying.

Fabric and buttons

Me in Sham Shui Po with Sisi, Hong Kong, July 2021

這天我買了幾塊很布。其中一塊是台灣製造，有魚金的圖案，非常美麗。但到現在，我一塊都未用過。其中兩塊布想用來車一個非常大的袋來裝畫框。

On that day I bought a few fabric. One of them is made in Taiwan and has a pattern of gold fish which is very beautiful. But until now, I haven't used any of them. I want to use 2 of the fabric to sew a very big tote bag to carry painting frame.

Ink sticks from Kyukyodo

Hong Kong, August 2021

我常常買東西。今次我在日本品牌鳩居堂的樂天市場到買了兩條墨條。一條是五星紅花，另一條是京都香墨。這是小數我會為新買的東西影相又出post的一次購物。

包裝紙很美麗。墨條嗅起來是線香的氣味，我很喜歡。另外墨條的質素都很好，亦十分乾淨。我現在都是用京都香墨來畫畫的。十分喜歡墨色中的藍調。

非常滿意這次的收穫。

I often buy things. This time I bought two ink sticks from a Japanese brand Kyukyodo on their Rakuten page -- 五星紅花 and 京都香墨. It is one of the few times that I make photos and have a post dedicated to my new purchase.

The wrapping is beautiful. The inks sticks smell incense which I like a lot. The quality of the ink sticks is good and very clean. I have been painting with 京都香墨 since then. I love the blueness of its ink.

Super happy with this purchase.

Staycation with Eunice, Eaton Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, March 2021

選擇了一間我很欣賞的酒店來Staycation。最後整晚在電視看Youtube看到凌晨兩點。

I still don't know your name

Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, May 2021

已有一段時間沒見過牠了，上次已是2020年8月，都差不多一年。疫情好點後又見面了。

Hadn't seen this cat for a long time. The last time we met was in August 2020. It's been nearly 1 year. Now we met again after the situation of the outbreak improved.
