ending

I'm not too sure if I can call it a premonition? But the title of my last picture post seems to suggest it rather obviously that maybe it's time I should end my blogspot. I'm getting more frustrated with each failure in uploading my drawing. The feeling of incapability to do anything is just too much for me. Unable to share my drawing simply makes me feel handicapped. And so, I’ve decided to shift my attention to other platform. To all my friends, you are most welcomed to KF’s Drawing Room over at wordpress. I might need some time to get accustomed to the new platform, so please be patient with me.

知是巧合,或是冥冥中注定?上一个图文题为“结束”,似乎早已预示了什么。从昨晚直到此刻,blogspot的技术问题不见改善。无法上载小图,令我懊恼非常。或许,与其空等下去,不如就此结束,另辟蹊径。我已在wordpress设了新空间,就叫“阿果豐画室”,从新开始,从零做起。有空请来坐坐。

can't

Is it just me or everyone is facing the same problem? I can't upload any picture onto my blog since last night...

Keeping my fingers crossed.

结束

天开课了。校园短暂的清幽即将结束。学校不可能老是放假,开课才是常规,但我就是不正常。吵杂的校园,繁琐的职务,只会吞噬我的脑细胞。还得忍耐数个星期。


Today is the last day of the short term break; our campus will be back to its usual buzz and bustle very soon, like an orchestra of noise that goes haywire, as if the recent extremely hot weather is not torturing enough. How I’m going to miss the peace and serenity that filled every little corner of the campus in the past 2 weeks, with rays of morning sun quietly sieving through branches and leaves, caressing the emerald lawns where not a single soul of rowdy, unappreciative and insensitive teens is to be seen but only tiny grasshoppers and one or two occasional squirrels. I can forget about smooth traffic on my way to office, relaxing breakfast over a morning paper in the spacious canteen, and a library that is like a library.

PS: I can't help but keep wandering, is my stats counter painting a true picture? Are there really so many visitors hitting my blog everyday? Whoever you are, I hope whatever I've posted up here have done its part in making your day. Thanks for dropping by.
其实我挺怀疑,每天真的有那么多人点击我的部落格?谢谢你们的支持,希望我的作品,带给大家些许满足。

moonwalk

This picture was not drawn especially for what I'm going to write or for him. As a matter of fact, I've done it weeks ago as a trail piece with no intention to post or share, the roughness and sketchiness says it quite obviously. It is all pure coincident that I find it a suitable illustration to complement my thoughts at this moment. The dancing moves, the huge moon, the larger-than –life look and the background of a fairytale land, though at time of drawing I’d no story to it, but now it all seem to reflect that particular figure that created his Never-land. I’m never a frantic fan of his, not even an ordinary one. Of course, I’m aware of his existence and have heard of his songs and seen his dancing on MTV. Who doesn’t? The news of MJ’s death which I heard this morning did not shock me that much, instead it brought about a tinge of sadness for to me, it spells the gradual end of a generation, the generation that grew up in the 70s and 80s. It’s an indication that another piece of our youth is gone forever, vanished into the thin air, never to be retrieved. How much time have we left? Once we thought we had plenty, in fact we used to have so much of it that time was never an issue at all. But now, it seems time can just end anytime on us, we are no longer at the beginning of our journey, how much further will we go or can we travel, no one knows. Only time will decide.

月球上漫步,在皎月下劲舞,当一切成了过往,才发觉青春已逝,时间如手中流沙,指缝间滴漏。小图是先前习作,本无意发表,然发觉与此时心情相符,尚可勉强可用之。今早听闻MJ猝死的消息,并无太大反应,仅有一丝忧伤。我非MJ歌迷,不为他痴狂,但在我成长岁月中,他是时代不可抹杀的代表。他的辞世,无形中意味一个时代的结束。我们这一代,离青春渐远,可挥霍的光阴无几。当我们必须认老时,那个过程是悄然而至的,不动声色就夺走青春;当我们还眷念曾经的流行时,那流行已流逝殆尽。我们被时间推着走,不知还可走多远多久;我们被时间推着走,真的是,蓦然回首早已白了头。

waltz

Waltz in the woods
In a late summer
In soft silence

晚夏的林木
寂静如歌
翩翩华尔兹

ps: By the time I'm at Cambridge, I'll be experiencing the very first autumn in my life. On a golden meadow, under fallen leaves, while squirrels hurry among the woods collecting nuts for winter, I shall dance a one-man waltz.
