風鈴花 Chinese Lantern

可愛風鈴，隨風搖曳，風姿綽約，卻沒聲音。

兩個一對，送給妹妹，當作耳環，清脆笑聲，盈盈不斷。

What a lovely wind bell!

 However, while it is swinging in wind, there is no sound coming out.

Let me give a girl a couple of them, put on her ears as her earrings.

 Then she smiles and  I hear her giggling in the wind.

還是大方剪裁，

歐巴桑的包頭巾，大嬸婆的大花裙，

也能換得笑聲呵呵。

 It is also suitable to give an old lady,

 as her headscarf or her poodle skirt.

She will laugh loudly, 

her sound of "hah hah" will break the silent.

旖霓世界 Neon Lights

到處是飛碟，

到了外太空嗎？

UFO was here and there,

where have I been?

Was it the outer space?

其實還在銅鑼灣的『血拼磨』，這是從中秋節到聖誕節的裝飾。
看得出什麼關聯嗎？

嗯～～有像燈籠啦！（香港人中秋節提燈籠）

嗯～～～啊有紅有綠有燈光啦，算是聖誕節的元素吧！

其實，我根本搞不懂這跟中秋和聖誕有什麼關係，

倒是還蠻有一種Fu，

表現出香港購物天堂旖旎，虛幻又浮誇的氣氛。

Actually, I was at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong;
and this was the decoration in a shopping mall
during the period from the Mid-autumn festival to Christmas holiday.

Can you tell what kind of thoughts behind this decoration?  

Well, it might be because they look like lanterns
which are one symbol of the Mid-autumn festival in Hong Kong. 

Well, they look colorful,
so because of those green and red neon lights
it might be related to the sense of Christmas.

In fact, I did not have any idea at all.

However, this decoration of neon lights did deliver ideas
 such as delusiveness, vanity, and exaggeration
that you will sense in this so-called shopping heaven, Hong Kong.

註記：思考和顏色的關係：

            思考和顏色確實有關，法國心理學家 愛德華·德·波諾 Edward de Bono 工具理論叫『六頂思考帽』，分別用紅、黃、黑、綠、白和藍 六種顏色來代表六種不同特色的心智作用。其中藍色思考帽，是一頂控制思維的帽子，而白色思考帽則主要跟提供事實與數據有關。詳情請見維基百科。

         Yes, there is a relationship between color and thinking. Psychologist Edward de Bono creates a technique called "Six Thinking Hat" .  He uses six hats in different color, blue, white, green, black, yellow, and red,  to indicate different type of thinking, such as intuitive thinking, creative thinking or emotional thinking.
