Rainy night. Took a stroll around the previously occupied area in MK. It was difficult to find a trace of the protest that was still there last Monday. To be honest, I prefer the previous state where I can walk freely on Nathan Road and see people vibrantly utilizing the public space. Now, you just […]

Day 43
Still insisting on visiting the “Harcourt Village” weekly on Sunday nights. Despite being already 43 days, I’m still finding new posters and other creative works every time I visit.
