三月份花卉展的照片，現在才呈現。雖然晚了兩個月，季節上仍然對題。
pix from flower show almost two months ago, still the same season although it feels really hot as i write.
in bright colours
marine life on land 海洋生物上岸了
at a slower pace 慢活啊
perhaps someday you could fly 也許某天你能一飛沖天
for love is in the air 只因到處彌漫着愛
just like the eternal sun 猶如永恆的太陽
印象中上一代紅色的纜車也沒有運行怎樣坐過，眨眼間已變成第六代？（又再是兒時的）綠色纜車了。同樣是兩節車廂一起運行，否則正常時期本地人加上遊客是應付不了的。你知道中途可以呼喚停站的嗎？你又知否鋼纜是在纜車經過某一點才在軌道中露面？
hong kong’s peak tram, like the city’s shyscrapers at the same site, went through five incarnations already. the current, sixth, inaugurated 2022, brings back the retro green colour of my childhood. did you know you can request stop in one of the stations along the link between central and the peak just by pressing a button? did you also know that the (steel?) cable only makes its not-so-discreet entrance in between the tracks only when the tram reaches a lower elevation at whatever point you are standing / observing?
來去如風的中秋節過去了，九月尾聲的香港仍然是盛夏般乾煎酷熱。公園賞月的人水泄不通，比病毒折騰久了，不顧一切全家大細出動，前所未見的墟冚！ covid or not that was the most i’ve seen such a jam-packed park on any given night during the year. this moon festival broke all personal obversation record for human density there! people really were having some quality time with friends and family while mesmerized by the full moon.
太多人風箏也放不了 ／ with so many people, no place for kite flying
書展裏瞥見國泰航空七十年代的餐牌，除了英文外竟然有點造作之餘加了法文。中文係殖民時代是否欠奉是常態就不得而知。我倒是好奇這班連名稱皆印到餐牌上的 ” compassion tour group ” 乃何方神聖？另一張海報的亞洲女郎活像是蘇絲黃的世界跳出來一樣，嘴藐藐的但洗不掉那種西人對東方的迷戀。
à quoi ça sert le menu en français dans un vol de cathay pacific dans des années 70s? les lettres en MAJUSCULE de taille plus GRAND que celles en anglais, cela rend l’office québécois de la langue française jaloux hahaha. néaumoins, c’était un vol entre tokyo et hong kong, deux villes qui tiennent aucune relation francophone. la fille qui apparaît dans une autre affiche rappelle une caricature datée d’époque suzie wong!
社會運動衝突兩週年，其實乜乜周年意思不大，因為遊行示威次數太多。政府警察傾巢出動，穿黑衣的市民俾截停、搜查。國家領導人把叫口號的愛國人民說成亂港分子。看來要時間證明一般市民是對的。
hong kong as a police state 警察話事的香港
叫/寫 香港加油 也犯法？ shouting/showing the slogan “hong kong add oil” alone is guilty?
those questioning “one country two systems” is out of shape are deemed as enemy of the state. 覺得一國兩制走了樣的人就被打成叛國者
那就等著看遠一點，看看誰是愛國的。一般市民還是離地權貴。 so let’s wait and see if the average layperson or the oligarch is more patriotic.
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“
香港2019年社會運動到今天2020年二月底，特別的日子要不是機構鬼拍後尾枕嘅未敢忘記。每月月底則是對太子地鐵站警察暴力的控訴！政府在新冠肺炎下派錢$10000之餘又大幅增加警隊撥款，恐怕市民短期內都不會忘記。
能夠令極端資本主義減慢下來的，不是社會運動，而是新冠肺炎。你有否見過黃昏七點便關門的麥當勞快餐店？如果不是商場阻止，麥記打十號風球都不會停下來。然而今次這商場因為過境的碼頭停用，內裡的商舖也頓變冷清。停止營業的計有銀行、餐廳、中醫、藥房等等，但看看通告便知各家的公關手段。個別受疫情影響生意難做的，幹嘛寫成“裝修”呢？大環境影響，又不是自己錯也不敢寫出事實，這些公司內部文化真是有啲問題喎！
neither typhoon signal number ten nor the prolific social movement of 2019 can barely touch upon the religiously capitalistic machinery of hong kong. then came covid-19, who made a steady and rapid ascent with the year of the rat, and like stepping on brakes did it achieve in sabotaging the capitalistic rat race with just a few dozens of cases and counting, in february 2020. whether it is tcm clinic, restaurant, bank or pharmacy, their branches in this shopping arcade which serves also as a ferry terminal to mainland china and macao decided to temporarily close the doors until perhaps the community outbreak of the virus retreats, if their leases last that long. what perplexed me was the lie a few of the notices posted “renovation” as the pretext, what were the management thinking? it wasn’t the company’s fault, but external, uncontrollable circumstances that require cost-cutting measures. if there is anything, it makes me think thrice about the integrity of these corporations for if they need a pretext foe something they didn’t do, imagine when they really make an error or put their customers in harms way, they probably would find tons of excuses to rid themselves of responsibility! so consumers beware, separating the good crops from the rotten few in the time of covid-19.
康有為 胡志明 孫中山 斯諾登以及其他許許多多這百多年來足跡遍佈香港嘅人，不論他們甚麼身份－革命家、知識分子、有良知的人、國父 加上更多無明但又係佢哋拯救世界之時路過香港的英雄 。這些在他們年代獨當一面的人物，想想現代的香港要政治打壓引導他們去別處受審？只能講句『送你條尾』！
rattrapant sur le sujet de l’extradition dans les derniers articles, je vous montre ces quartre noms parmi des nombreux
kang you wei, sun yat sen, ho chi minh, edward snowden
tous ces hommes, et plusieurs femmes et hommes connu-es et inconnu-es de leurs ères, ont changé pour le mieux le monde. tu me dirais l’extradition de hong kong à l’heure actuelle? j’ai deux mots pour toi – mon oeil!
the girl who lost the right eye to a bean bag round shot by the hong kong police on 11 August 2019 finally gathered some energy to give a brief statement. a lot of public anger in the past two weeks calling for “an eye for an eye”. i can’t imagine the courage and how poised she has been in the video. if i were put into the same situation, traumatized is an understatement.
lots of flyers/artwork also emerged and keep on pumping out on various lennon walls in hong kong. here are a few of the examples.

alluding to street fighters or protesters: 
another bloodied eye also appeared on the background towards the right above!
