油麻地停車場大廈 Yau Ma Tei Carpark Building

too much obituary but then here is another one.

Yau Ma Tei Carpark Building, know for the Gascoigne Road Flyover passing through the building on the 3rd floor, will be permanently closed next year, in 2021. The top three floors of the car park will off limit starting 1st nov 2020. disappearing landscape aficionados in hong kong are congregating on the 7th and 8th floors to savour the hustle and bustle of yaumatei on this last full day of its operation.

2020實在寫得太多訃聞，不過還是越寫越有。預告你知十一月仲有我想寫但未寫嘅。油麻地停車場大廈要重建／改建了。我期待的是地下的讀書館會變得更乾淨、更大、提供更多元服務等等。今日我就跟其他香港人追逐那些虛無縹緲、似有似無嘅回憶。油蔴地係五湖四海、人流複雜的地方。出入停車場大廈地下公廁的，有時有點駭人、像是吸毒癮君子、亦有神志不清的人。如果說資源不公，這里的圖書館和公廁都可以算是我用過之中的最污糟。希望這社區奇景消失之餘，政府會改善此地的各項服務。

marina arabamovic

je ne savais pas qui est marina arabamovic, grace à une rédiffusion de hep taxi sur l’antenne de tv5 monde, cela a changé récemment. le entretien encirle toujours la performance rhythm 0 en 1974.

the little glimpse of imagery and subsequent interviews/reporting can still rock our conscience to this day. what if some of the audience were not accompanied by their wives? what would they have done with the loaded pistol?

her brief reunion with her long time collaborator ulay in moma in 2010 was equally emotional. human interactions? sex? inquality? violence? women? men? i wonder if her performances challenged any long held beliefs we have? have things changed / progressed since the 1970s?

Scammers sin frontera 欺騙無疆界

scamming without borders.
was that someone / many people trying to steal my whatsapp conversations by claiming a change in phone number? amazingly, these scumbags collaborate across time zones but in a sequential and synchronized way to make you fall into their traps. technology is no free lunch. use at your own risk.

兩條友一先一後發短訊要求提升、加密安全云云。一不小心，也許已墮陷阱。不要對社交媒體太依賴，別焦急，再加一點常識，即王道也！

社交距離 distanciation physique

社交距離 / distanciation physique / social distancing or even

distanciamiento físico, distanciamiento personal, o distanciamiento social,

no matter how you call it, for three quarters of a year, it is tiring, frustrating or even sad for many. If this photo I dug up from my cell phone which I believed to have arrived at my possession in march 2020 could lift your spirit up just a little..

How would you title / caption it?

para mi, es “star wars vs. covid-19“
