At The Park | 在公園

Rozy and I train at the park 2-3 times a week.

Whenever I'm taking a break , I take in my surroundings. I see all kinds of people there. Some foreign domestic workers gathering in a group of 6-7 females.They'll hold hands and stand in a circle and pray together afterwhich one will play the guitar, others will sing. When they are done with their singing, they will then take out their lunch boxes and enjoy their sandwich. It seems like a ritual, I've seen them do this so many times before and I enjoy seeing them enjoy themselves. Seems like a healthy activity too. Then there are the tourists. Very typical of them to be taking pictures of everything the see, especially of us displaying our kungfu moves there. haha.| Rozy和我每周2-3次會去公園練習。

每當練習間隙，我就觀察周圍。那兒有各種各樣的人，有外籍家傭大約6-7個女性聚集在一起，她們牽著手站成一圈，在一起禱告。之後有一個彈吉他，其他的人唱歌。唱完之後，她們會打開午餐盒享用三明治。這看起來會傳染，我看她們這樣許多次，現在也很喜歡看她們自娛自樂，看來是很健康的活動。還有典型的遊客，他們拍看到的一切，尤其是我們打功夫的樣子，哈哈。

Sometimes there will be a small group of news reporters and tv crews covering news on a group of around 20 old men and women protesting for lower housing rates or something....It was obvious the police and news reporters find it a hassle. How odd, when there's only 5 policemen involved in such an important issue raised by the elderly of our country. Come to think of it,they are the ones who made HK what HK is today, they built HK into what we enjoy today....well....thinking back on the Edison's scandal and there were 200 policemen escorting him and front page coverage on every newspaper, magazines and live telecast on a such a negative issue....what a shame...

 There are many couples holding hands, dating and kissing in the park.....and some very lonely people sitting all alone looking into space...thinking about what they have done that made them such a solitude person they are now...wonder what their purpose in life is and how everything's over suddenly.....lots of office people hurrying here and there.....then there's another group of middle age men and women doing tai chi, all in their office wear...this is the perfect picture to show how busy hk people are.... they don't even have time to change into their appropriate attire.

Some regulars are there too! Including the cleaners and this particular man. He likes to sit next to our bench and take pictures of us using his phone. Initially he tried to do it to secretly but later on, he didn't care as I'm sure he knows that we know of his existence. I find him extremely irritating. I thought about taking his picture in front of him so he'll get a taste of what it's like....but i don't wanna pollute my phone with his picture.He comes very often. Always sitting close to us. I can't drive him away, it's public property. I did think about practising my flying kick on him of course!| 有時也有小群的新聞記者和電視臺的人在這裏拍攝20幾個老年人聚集抗議低房屋補助或其他問題…警察和新聞記者很明顯知道這是抗議集會。但很奇怪，只有5個警察來管我們國家老年人的重要問題。想一想，他們是建造香港的功臣，是他們把香港變成今天我們享受的樣子…好了…回想一下陳冠希艷照事件，有200個警察護送他，每張報紙和雜誌的封面、電視臺現場都聚焦在這樣一個負面事件上…真是糟糕…

有許多情侶牽著手約會、在公園接吻…還有些非常孤獨的人，孤零零站著，望著天空…可能在想做了什麽事讓他們今天這樣孤獨…懷疑他們的人生目標以及每件事結束得多麽突然…許多上班族匆匆走過……還有另一群中年男女穿著職業裝打太極…看看香港人有多忙碌……他們甚至沒有時間換上合適的服裝。

也有常來的人!包括清潔人員和這個家夥，他喜歡坐在靠近我們的長椅上，用手機拍我們。起初他還想偷偷拍，後來根本不在乎，一定是知道我們看出他來了。我很生氣，想站在他面前拍他，讓他也嘗嘗這滋味…但我不想用他的照片汙染我的相機。他來得很勤，總是坐在我們附近，我不能趕他走，這是公共場所。我甚至想過對他練習我的飛踢!

Last friday, he was there again. He was staring at Rozy while I was staring at him. Suddenly, a thought struck me. He's a very sad person isn't he. During lunch time, he has no friends nor anywhere to go to. He must be left out and left so lonely that he went to the park alone and saw us there. He made it his favourite lunchtime recreation to watch us train. Sad..... maybe he should get changed and exercise with us, I think that will be more effective in coping with stress, rather than just sit there and stare.

I can't help but remind myself of the song 'Stop and Stare' by One Republic| 上周五他又來了，他盯著Rozy，我就盯著他。突然我腦中閃過一個念頭，他是個非常悲哀的人，是不是。午飯時間，他沒有朋友也沒地方可去。他一定被人冷落，非常孤獨，才會獨自來到公園看我們，看著我們練習讓他更享受午餐時間。悲哀……也許他該改變，跟我們一起練。帶著壓力練習總比只坐在那兒看要有效得多。

我不禁想起One Republic的歌曲”停下來凝視”

As I watch the world in front of me.....

| 當我看著眼前的世界……

 I remember many people saying:  Do not pick on one's fault.

| 我記得很多人說，”別只關註其他人的錯”

 As the more you focus on it,

| 你越關註，

you don't see anything else,

| 就越看不見其他，

 but the fault.

''No one's all bad

No one's all good''

This is something we all have to know.

We are not perfect beings.

也沒有純粹的好人” 這是我們都必須了解的。 我們都不是完美的人。
