HFC Schools No. 5 out of 6

I haven't really come across their students all these years. Maybe the school schedule is completely different from mine, or most of them go to school by school bus.






HFC Schools No. 5 out of 6.

Henry Moore's Double Oval across the street from General Post Office Hong Kong


This is so windy today that my pencil case got blown away (!) and I couldn't have my hat safely on.  A security guard discussed with me how special it is to have a bronze sculpture against a line of trees, while another one patrolled in front of me from time to time, probably trying to make sure I won't sit on their steps, or to wait for the usual crowd of foreign domestic helpers. Mr Security Guard likely is not aware that Easter is not a Statutory Holiday so he won't be seeing the usual crowd he expects.

(In Hong Kong, there is a difference between “General Holidays” and “Statutory Holidays”.  In short, the so-called “white collars” enjoy “General Holidays” (17 days in 2020), while the  “blue collars” enjoy “Statutory Holidays” (12 days in 2020), and Easter does not fall into “Statutory Holidays”.  This is why I could not see many foreign domestic helpers at the spot I sketched today on Good Friday, on top of the general ban of public gathering with more than 4 people in view of #covid19.)

Schools in Heng Fa Chuen

I always thought there were 3 kindergartens in the neighbourhood, but this complex actually houses 2, making a total of 4 kindergartens, 1 primary school, and 1 secondary school in the community.

Farewell GPO No. 3

Cloudy and a bit cool. May be it's better to stay home.
This is a sketch done earlier. Hopefully to sketch more of the General Post Office before summer comes.
