Fare well, Occupy Central.

Merry Christmas Occupy Central
An early Christmas for Occupy Central at Causeway Bay.
Fare well.
People are packing.
Amidst Christmas sale.
Installation with steel resolve.
Imagine what might have been.
Freedom under the eye of the clock.
At Admiralty.
Unpoetic translation: even if there’s disappointment, one cannot lose hope.
There’s a time to pack up.
A time to plant fresh hope.
A time to remember.
Time to take stock.
Sacrifice.
Hope.
Restrain.
Hunger strike zone.
Merry Christmas Occupy Central.
The central government offices are overwritten with desire.
Home is Hong Kong.
A time to build up.
A time to let go.
A time for nostalgia.
Merry Christmas Occupy Central.
Fare well.
Fare well.

Mostly Monochrome Singapore
I’ve lived in Hong Kong long enough such that I could see Singapore with a fresh set of eyes.
Some of the buildings have become rather futuristic.
And public housing flats are beginning to look very homely.
Singapore is home, a comfortable grid.
We’re all fitted into grids.
Nice looking public housing.
Was at Hard Rock Café with my family.
An amazing acoustic set – it’s nice to listen to local acts with my wife… while trying to get our children to eat their broccoli.
The HRC I know were Saturday clubbing nights, 2 decades ago.
As I looked around at the various tables, I saw expat families with kids, tourists and middle-class locals out for dinner.
Times have changed – or perhaps I have changed.
Once upon a time, I wanted to be a rock star with my acoustic guitar.
The lyric he’s singing: “I’m all about that bass, about that bass, about that bass…”
Subsequent serious research (Google and Wikipedia) tells me it’s really a very cool song.
Now, I see HRC as an F&B outlet using rock music as a marketing tool, reaching out to customers like me who’ve come of age with the likes of GnR, Bon Jovi and Skid Row.
Perhaps I’m getting older and more cynical.
Still – it’s good to be young and idealistic.
HRC still looks impressive.
The colour is wonderful.
Orchard Road is gearing up for Christmas.
Hilton façade with a dash of nature.
A Martian landscape in full colour.
Equally interesting in monochrome.
It’s nice to be young…
An empty bus looks somewhat disturbing, like an unfulfilled promise.
This looks better – all blurry and full of promise.
Thanks for reading!
