Waiting for a sunny day...

Throwback to sunny Tuesday.

Applause must go to the gardening team of Ocean Park, who makes this plant Chinese pavilion at location that visitors would not even walk past.

Oi!

There're a Pacific Coffee on Electric Road, and a Pret a Manger on Oil Street that can both see the Oi! clearly through their glass wall. But it's certainly more money conscious to stand by a lamp post

Hong Kong Ocean Park

Ocean Park reopens today!

I suddenly thought of sketching the Ocean Park (entrance) yesterday, and so I went. It was announced while I was there that the Ocean Park would reopen today, after a long closure for disease prevention purpose. The staff were busy preparing for the big day.

Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, from Kowloon Public Pier

Every where was fenced off (even the Freedom Fighter) along the TST waterfront, and public health advice was announced repeatedly in multiple languages. I could only find a spot next to the landing step to see the Clock Tower from a distance.

Everyday life under #COVID19

Rhododendron 杜鵑

Mom surprisingly follows public health advice and did not go to crowded places like the Flower Market to get CNY flowers this year. But this little pot of #rhododendron she randomly bought still serves the purpose.

辭舊迎新

Wishing you a wonderful Year of Ox!

Old Wan Chai Post Office

The old Wan Chai Post Office, now an environmental resources centre

I thought Queen's Road East would be less busy on Sunday, but obviously I was wrong. The cafe I stood next to had people continuously going in and out for breakfast. Workers were rushing the decorative works at the cafe to my back. May be I should be glad there were still people on the streets supporting local business.

An afternoon in the parking lot

住宅區, 送貨基本上由大清早開始至夜深。一面畫, 一面見到同時出現兩架 HK TV Mall 的貨車, 其他大大小小的貨車、外賣電單車更不計其數, 還有搬家公司的大貨車。另外, 最近家電是否減價？見到很多街坊買了新雪櫃。

Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter, from the Eastern District Cultural Centre

The smaller boat in the front was gone without my notice, and so it was not coloured. The Lion Rock should be further to the right, but I made it closer.

The Court of Final Appeal Building, from Statue Square, Central, Hong Kong

The Building housed the former Supreme Court from 1912 to 1983 and the Legislative Council from 1985 to 2011. It opened again as the Court of Final Appeal in 2015 after renovation.
