Merry Christmas!

Chai Wan Park

Having lived in Chai Wan for 16 years, that was the first time I visited Chai Wan Park two weeks ago. The Park is quite noisy because of the train, but people of all ages do enjoy the leisure area among all the high rises.

It isn't very big but there is a small pond that is good for remote-control boat. A little kid and his granny were completely attracted when I was there 2 weeks ago.

Christmas card is coming to town

After writing 30+ Christmas cards, I feel drained 🤪

On Remembrance Day and always, lest we forget

On this very special day, let us remember all, far and close, who have sacrificed for the betterment of others.

The Cenotaph was unveiled in 1923. It was initially inscribed with the words “The Glorious Dead” and the years “1914-1918” to commemorate the victims of the First World War. The years “1939-1945” were added later to honour victims of the Second World War. In the 1980s, “英魂不朽 浩氣長存” were carved on one side of the Cenotaph to make it clear that the Cenotaph commemorates all who fell, especially those who fell in the defence of Hong Kong.

池上福原打鐵工坊

Last sketch in Chishang before departing on Tuesday. I wasn't so confident on the spot, so the colour was added later.

The shop owner went out to take a look of my doing and said "everyone does have their own skills". This line comes from him is extra convincing.

[Remark: Many people have painted and photographed his workshop. Mine is just very elementary level.]

對面的駁二藝術特區先係重點...... shopping area!

(hope you don't mind my shadow casting over the sketch)

最好的時光.微旅宿

A quick one from the balcony of the room. I am too tried today that this is the most I can do.

About half an hour after this, it was all dark already.

池上九號咖啡 No.9 Gourmet Coffee

很近民宿，但有點 out of no where，想不到竟然坐滿人。

大坡池

I thinks tens or hundreds of very small insects have bitten on me when I sketched and I killed many of them.

池上穀倉藝術館

It’s hot when there’s sun that I had to change to shorts. It’s much cooler from later afternoon that I had to pull up my jacket with the hat on. It should be quite a scene seeing me like that sitting in a corner sketching.

走走池上

Hiding from the sun

Sketching the interior is not quite my favourite. But I guess one doesn't have much choice when it's too hot outside.

(They serve good coffee, BTW)

Chishang Station

It's busier than I expected.  Crowded with people and pick-up cars every time when a train arrives or about to depart.

*****

Those 2 taxis stuck in my way so I have to capture them. When I coloured, they were gone (as expected), so I decided to leave them colourless.

Now, it's lunch time.

KA438 to Kaohsiung

I like taking night flight. The problem with it is you can't really see the plane. (The other side is my cake and tea dinner. I am still too full from lunch.)

About to board now. See you.

Gate by Ju Ming

千里迢迢去馬料水大學睇展覽，無理由空手而回。

是日觀察：馬大的洗手間保養做得好過薄扶林大學好多。

It rained when I sketched. Even the water insoluble ink dissolved a bit.

Fall is the sketching season.

Only I forgot about the mosquitoes.  I wanted to cry on the spot because of the mosquito bites!

Any mosquito repellent to recommend?
