講中秋怎能不提月餅。雖然之前家母分別在兩家不同寶號各買了一盒雙黃白蓮蓉，中秋當晚黃昏時分見到非名牌的月餅促銷，一百元四個。因此同旁邊在看的情侶夾份買了四個。我挑了一個伍仁、一個陳皮和一個黑芝麻，共柒拾伍圓，他們買一個。海鮮價買回來，也算能入口！
中秋豈能無月餅？

中秋節 2022 mid autumn festival
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
red blue green and cny
是繽紛的紅？刺眼的紅？或是染血的紅？
由草根社區到中產兼『離地』的外國店舖行人街
每個走過又知道利東街歷史之人都應有自己內心裡對夜空中的艷紅的解讀。
不知你的版本是悲哀的還是節日來臨喜氣洋洋。
Lee Tung Ave, under the new year’s celebrative red was not quite it was for those small business owners and residents who got chased out of the area for this development. Now, full of roman alphabet signage next to the occasional, seasonal tradition chinese festivals’ decor, one must wonder how much of the original characteristics of the community have been preserved, if at all.
meanwhile, over the other side of the pond by tsim sha tsui waterfront, setting-up and rehearsals for the lunar new year day parade and performances are underway.
相對利東街的紅，彼岸的尖沙嘴則是準備農曆新年遊行和表演的藍和綠。。。
花 、fleurs、 華
新年鮮花年年鮮，可知價值是多少?
年初一的淩晨兩點多三點，又是買平嘢嘅時候!
剛剛才聽見老闆說賣五十蚊的大桔，眨眼已買廿蚊，可惜屋細和沒有拖車仔的我，只能拍下照片留念。
農夫辛勞的工作，只能換來幾十元，是禍是福，是苦是甜，也許不足爲外人道也!
From those tangerines of unbelievable bargin that I didn’t took in for the Ram year, I did menage to recuperated a bouquet worth of flowers from the street, as one of joyful by-standers when passers-by spotted a grad-opening of a store/office (I dont know to-this-date what it was) was throwing away, or at least letting people take home all those flowers delievered to their doorsteps just hours before.
Trashed after an hour or so of spotlight, they are now in a vase, on a table, for an extended fortnight of their lifespan.
ole ola, mas nenhuma força
ole ola….
The dust has long settled after the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Football aside, the theme song and its video really sounded and looked heavily American, albeit international production. So much for Brazil’s backbone of photographing and fingerprinting Americans visitors knocking on their doors on arrival, when it comes to big money, multinationals still dictate how events are run or sponsored. This couldn’t be truer weird and somewhat vulgar and definitely violent (towards the end) parody which par hasard caught my attention today:
So the Brazilians spent all that money, threw in some false pride, garnished with cultural absence and misrepresentations and topped off with some posh infrastructures, et Voilà! Who eventually would benefit? Wait, Rio will host the Olympics in less than 48 months and the story keeps on fermenting itself.
and here’s the NFL or Miami-like original jingle.
religions: not equal opportunity
What did you do on Christmas Eve? For me this year it was sprinkled with solitude as I walked mostly alone during the day, passing by a Buddhist temple in the afternoon, spending well over an hour looking at its architecture, the free literature they are giving away (mainly the Sutras)
Towards midnight I descended into the town centre, blended into a sea of tourists, excited teenagers and took a few pictures, then had into a midnight mass. While most attendees were indulged in their prayers and hymns, the entrance looked a bit like a circus, with the curious but not the religious parading in and out taking pictures and videos. Festive indeed and I applaud the church and its open door policy – showing everyone that those who don’t believe or are not familiar with their protocols or etiquette are still very welcomed, which is a first step in preaching their beliefs, if not getting to world peace !

自娛 馬拉松 s’amuser au marathon
Did I record this because of music or because of marathon? Like most things in life, it doesn’t have to be laid out in advance with precision.
So old your camera for some acoustic good vibes, even with few bystanders because it’s past 4 hours 3 minutes from the beginning of time and Indian summer took a day off because it was Sunday. Eventually, just eventually, if you are a patient observer, time, space, people, gesture, moves would fit into this three dimensonal jigsaw puzzle of fun.
hmmm something that MasterCard CANT buy, nor the numerous Olympic Gold medals would compare.
跑馬拉松應該開開心心，一眾同樂的。若然你已跑了4個半鐘，差不多5小時累得要命的時候，遇見像影片3分鐘後出現那位仁兄般自娛娛人，你在這13度C冷風下感受到的人情味比某某在奧運會拿多少金牌更意義重！搞馬拉松的似乎要想想贊助商重要，還是提供一些樂隊現場表演打打氣，如果每個參賽者皆是苦臉變笑臉，錢就花的其所了。
Avec une musique super conviviale qui chasse le froid et la fatigue, meme si c’est déjà 4h30min après le départ, un moment drôle et charmant nous arrivera, si l’on a assez de patience!
Felicidad
I only learnt that there is this spanish version of “Happy New Year” by Abba at the end of 2011. One year has passed, lightning fast! My español is not making much progress. My hope is to have a basic grap of the fundamentals next time around when this song is on the airwaves
incessantly. Let’s see if I could keep my promise in 365 days
