Mind my business

I am so excited to receive this stamp! 

Reason no. 1: I designed it

Reason no. 2: I purchase from local artist

Reason no. 3: It is very cheap

Reason no. 4 My "business" looks more serious with a stamp

Reason no. 5: It is always fun to stamp!

Maybe I should seriously think about using it for my bank.

To walk a pug

I am her number one favourite street buddy, definitely. 

Every evening if my mom takes out the leash, she ducks under the chair, under the table, or under the bed.

When the leash is on my hand, she would come out and greet it, bark in a happy manner and breathe heavily.

I guess I win her heart by giving her more freedom on the street.

She would jump over the drain cover to save her feets from trapping in there, even the holes on it are tiny. She would bark against other dogs from far but she never dared to get close. She doesn't know how to enter a moving escalator, but she knows how to leave. She would lie down flat on floor upon return to the lift lobby in summer. Because the lobby is air-conditioned and the floor is made of stone.

These things repeat and repeat, but I never feel bored, I like her accompnay.

被時代選中的我們

在書展買了這本出版已有一段日子的雨傘書。

雨傘書相集、畫集、文集不少，也不知道哪本是有質素、哪本叫完整、哪本觀點精闢；最後看到很多意見領袖都願意推介這本，就買下，當留個記念，別去想這本是否最抵買或最應該買就是了。

登上巴士，掀著掀著讀，感覺馬上就湧回來。

那種自我感覺良好、愛、守望、最壞的年代最好的年代甚麼的，即使不切實際，對普選沒有半點用，但只要上過一次街，這些感覺就永遠附隨身上；書寫得出色絕頂還是未夠火候，其實都不重要。讀幾句，感覺馬上返晒來。

雖然對香港未來只感無奈非常，但對於那幾十天的事，心中還是有一種類似江湖兄弟的一記「好！」的感覺。即使大家曾經有過忐忑、質疑、或支持但不絕對支持，但只要隨著心中大方向就好。我們畢竟是同路人，有幸一起在途上。

Imperfection

Asymmetric, poorly calculated shadow, casual handwriting, this is the product of my impatience.

I am not saying I like it anyway because I worked on it. No. It is still very ugly, but there was something interesting from this absolutely unskilled work.

When I was mixing the colour, "Oh what the hack I am mixing? The green doesn't look like glass at all."

When I was working on the reflecting spot, "Come on, it is so awkward, just like a white square."

When I was putting on the outline of the bottle,  "I wish I had not put on the outline. But it is too late now."

Problems were magnified during the process. They led me to treat the sheet even more slovenly. 

The night when I looked at it again, it is still a poorly drawn bottle, but I didn't feel as angry as when I was working on it. 

Maybe that's what people say, "You have a better picture when you look from a distance." 

Someone like Kandinsky could draw a square bottle and argue that you just don't understand the curve in it; for me, I'd better make no excuse and learn the classical way.
