Easter Magic Ribbon


This is an Easter story about forgiveness and love, which are also the meaning of Jesus Christ’s salvation. For this reason, I want to send Easter blessings through this story. Wishing you a lovely Easter with your family and friends!


Huh? Why does E.Ding ran so fast? E.Ding has a special event at home today because Easter is coming, so she is full of anticipation and wants to run home quickly. She will play with her good friends Fragrance and Spicy. They keep running together. They imagine themselves as racing cars filled with gas, happily heading to E.Ding 's house.

Their special event today is to prepare for the Easter games. This game is called "Easter Egg Hunt”.

The game is like this: On Easter Day, E.Ding's mother collects colourful Easter eggs in different places, then E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy carry their Easter baskets to look for Easter eggs. Whoever finds the most Easter eggs wins.

In order to prepare for the "Easter Egg Hunt", E.Ding and the others agreed to paint Easter eggs at E.Ding's house and make their own Easter baskets.
 

At home, E.Ding's mother have already prepared what they need: a lot of eggs and paints. Mother put them all on the table. When they paint different patterns on the eggs with different colours, the unique Easter eggs are completed.

E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy paint Easter eggs very carefully. Although there are still some Easter eggs that have not been painted, they are already talking about which Easter egg they like the most.

E.Ding likes the Easter egg painted with many colourful flowers because E.Ding likes flowers very much. Spicy likes the Easter egg which has a smile on it because he hopes everyone to be happy. And Fragrance likes the big butterfly Easter egg because she thinks the Easter egg with a bow is like a gift. The Easter eggs are so pretty and lovely, so they really enjoy having a good time drawing them.

But E.Ding has to leave for a while because she wants to go to the bathroom.

Ah! When E.Ding turns around, she feels her hand touch something, and then she hears the sound of something falling to the ground. At the same time, she hears "Si~~~".

What exactly does she drop?


E.Ding looks at the floor curiously, she is petrified! She dropped Fragrance's favourite Easter egg! E.Ding carefully picks up the Easter egg, not knowing what to do. Because she sees that the Easter egg had cracks.

Looking at the cracks on the Easter egg, E.Ding is very upset. She knows that Fragrance would be very sad, and she doesn't know how to restore the Easter egg. She keeps saying sorry to Fragrance. Fragrance is a little bit unhappy, but she says to E.Ding:

" E.Ding, it's okay! I forgive you because I can draw another big butterfly Easter egg!"

When E.Ding hears Fragrance’s forgiveness, she smiles slightly. She thanks Fragrance and says that she would also draw a big butterfly Easter egg for her.

Spicy says he wants to draw one too.  All of them want to paint a big butterfly Easter egg now! Will this Easter be full of butterfly eggs?

However, there are tears trying to escape from E.Ding 's eyes. E.Ding is still thinking about the broken Easter egg. She finds that when she did something wrong that she can’t fix, she feels a deep sorrow in her heart. Moreover, she also feel miserable for making Fragrance upset.

Both Spicy and Fragrance askes E.Ding what happened, E.Ding says: “I broke Fragrance 's favourite Easter egg, and it couldn't be fixed.”

Fragrance says to E.Ding: "I am even more unhappy now because I have something missing."

"What are you missing?"

"My good friend called Joyful E.Ding is gone. I want her to come back!"

E.Ding suddenly understands that Fragrance and she both want each other to be happy, so she can't be sad anymore.

She should be very grateful to have two good friends, Fragrance and Spicy. E.Ding smiles joyfully because she thinks her good friends are so wonderful.

Both Fragrance and Spicy say, "Come on, E.Ding, let's paint the most beautiful Easter eggs in the world!"

E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy finally drew all the Easter eggs, they are so cheery! They love the Easter eggs so much that they don't give the Easter eggs to E.Ding 's mother immediately. They put the Easter eggs together and want to accompany their Easter eggs more.

Spicy also did something that made them all happier than playing "Easter Egg Hunt", so they all jump for joy.

What is it? Spicy ties ribbon bows on E.Ding’s and Fragrance's hands. Spicy himself doesn't have one, because he says he is a boy and doesn't wear a butterfly, but he also ties a ribbon on his hand. Neither Fragrance nor E.Ding know what was going on, Spicy say:

"This is called 'Magic Easter Ribbon'. When we do something wrong or get angry with our friends, it will use magic to remind us that we want to be cheerful with our friends!"

E.Ding and Fragrance think it is really great! Yes, the "Magic Easter Ribbon" on their hands means that they are good friends forever. Although they haven't played the "Easter Egg Hunt" yet, they have already found the treasure. The treasure is their good friends: E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy!

我對鹿的情意結

現在想來,我是自初小的時候,已經覺得鹿很美。那時,我家有一件玻璃小擺設,是一隻梅花鹿,那是我很喜歡的擺設。這是我喜歡鹿的開始。 我的小學時期,電視台播放了一套令我至今難忘的卡通,但我不記得卡通的名稱,也不記得故事內容。我只知道我深刻記得的是有一隻鹿,有個穿吊帶褲的青年,他應該住在森林附近,而森林裡有一隻鹿,那鹿常常到溪旁喝水。現在我憑這些僅餘的記憶,尋到八十年代香港有一套名為《湯姆歷險記》的卡通,主人翁就是住在森林的吊帶褲少年。誠然,我記得這卡通,純粹因為鹿。 以上這兩件事,讓我發現原來我從小便很欣賞鹿的美麗。 提到鹿,不可不提小鹿斑比。事實上,我連小時候有沒有欣賞過這齣電影也記不起,只知道長大後的我,是很喜歡斑比的,當然也是因為覺得牠很美麗。所以,有一年的生日,老公送了木雕斑比給我,真謝謝他啊! 但我一直不敢畫鹿,因為覺得這種體態優美的動物很難畫。(說實在,我有太多動物是不敢畫的,我總是有我的原因,說到底就是膽小吧?)今次,我是「膽粗粗」地嘗試去畫雄鹿,拿起畫筆的我,心情戰戰競競。 我先去看許多不同的鹿的照片,一時搜尋梅花鹿,一時搜尋馴鹿。一邊看照片,我一邊驚嘆,驚嘆鹿角的美。鹿角在雄鹿的頭上,猶如加晃的皇冠,讓牠們更顯高貴。真的,我為這造物的美麗動人驚嘆不已。在我畫鹿時,我覺得最要緊的就是要把鹿角和眼睛畫得好。每次我嘗試去畫寫實畫時,都覺得眼睛是最重要的部份,因為眼睛要帶出眼神和感情。而今次,還要加上鹿角,因為美麗的鹿角可以為雄鹿帶來王者的氣派。 我很感謝朋友和粉絲們,讚賞我今次畫的鹿。但我真的覺得,是鹿本身美麗,畫作才能美麗。我忽然間,很想將大自然的美麗畫出來呢!

只有「熱狗」的日子

八十年代的我,時常在 「熱狗」裡 不知不覺地睡熟。睡前,我還在家樓下;睡醒了,便已身處九龍城,可以探望公公婆婆去了。 「熱狗」就是沒有空調的巴士,當時所有巴士都是「熱狗」,但我們卻沒有聽到有巴士司機突然死去,而 一向容易大汗淋漓的我,也不覺得熱得發慌,真是奇怪。 「熱狗」是我探望公公婆婆時需要乘坐的交通工具,想起它,我就會想起:「九巴服務,日日進步」這句廣告標語。小時候的我,每當看到「熱狗」,差不多都會同時讀到這句標語,使得二、三十年後今天的我,也不禁要講一講這句話。那個年代的九巴,通常只為自己賣廣告。但九巴沒說謊,只有「熱狗」的日子早已成為過去 ,今天大部分的九巴都有空調了,而且還有電視看,我們都見證著九巴的進步。 然而,我沒有忘記,今天我也不願坐上去的「熱狗」,曾經是我可以睡得香甜的搖籃,搖一搖、晃一晃、睡一睡,張開眼睛就到達九龍城,可以向光榮鞋舖走去了。

【人在英】Something small to make you smile

  帽子郵筒 你希望別人快樂嗎? 你希望別人因你快樂嗎? 原來,有時候我們只是做了小小的事,別人便可能因此而歡喜不已。 我走在異地的街頭,第一次看見帽子郵筒。那一刻,我的心像孩子般歡天喜地,因為覺得那郵局十分可愛、十分溫暖。那不是普通的帽子,能夠戴在郵筒上,它首先是一頂突大帽子,用毛冷織成,還要有一朵朵的向日葵圍在帽子的邊沿。這還不夠,帽子本身有不同的顏色,而在它的上面,有毛冷小老鼠和一些毛冷蝴蝶等裝飾。 帽子本身已經很美、很燦爛,足夠讓你一看到便心花怒放了。但它竟然是在冬日街頭的郵筒上,好像要給郵筒保暖。而帽子還繫上一張紙,寫着: “Something small to make you smile!” 噢﹗原來帽子不只要為郵筒保暖,它還要暖暖你的心。 以這樣的方法,來讓不同的陌生人快樂,我的心因此很感動呢﹗於是,我寫了一個故事,讓伊汀也學習一下這麼美麗的舉動。 學織向日葵頸巾的伊汀 而我,又可以作些甚麼微小的事,來讓你快樂呢? 我真希望,我的畫,我的故事,可以像這帽子一樣,暖一暖你的心。

謝謝妹妹

我要在此多謝我的妹妹,因為在我開始畫畫路的初期,她給了我很多意見。 妹妹自己不畫畫,但她常常都有很好的提議,這一幅貓貓圖,就因為妹妹而畫龍點睛了。 當她知道我想畫貓咪們在海上活動時,她提議我讓貓媽媽拿傘,因為貓媽媽怕曬。她還建議讓貓媽媽拿維多利亞傘。 我不知道甚麼是維多利亞傘,經妹妹一說,我才知道維多利亞傘原來是這種典雅高貴的傘子。這把傘子實在很吸引人,是嗎?

應天哥哥——我的高人

應天哥哥指教下的作品 在我還是黃毛小丫頭的時候,我已經很欣賞應天哥哥的藝術作品。 他是小學生,我也是小學生,小時候的我覺得哥哥的作品很美,長大了,我才知道原來我自小已發現應天哥哥的藝術才華。 對於應天哥哥的作品,我印象難忘。我記得,當我還是個初小學生時,哥哥因意外導致右手手骨有裂痕,所以只能用左手來完成美術課的功課。他用左手,畫了麥當奴餐廳的情景——有不同動作和神態的客人和服務員,構圖豐富,各人表情生動。 我也記得,哥哥在一塊石膏板上,雕出老夫子像。老夫子,是我們當時最愛看的漫畫。 無論是繪畫、攝影,還是文學創作,應天哥哥都是我心中的高人。 近日,我要畫一幅朦朦朧朧的星空,我不懂畫。於是,應天哥哥教我如何用水溶性木顏色,握著較大支的毛筆,再加上分怖不需太平均的星星,然後,畫作完成了。 久沒畫畫的他,只隨意說出一、兩句重點,再給我找來合用的參考圖畫,就這樣輕輕鬆鬆地,讓我畫出了從沒畫過的風格,畫出了我意想不到的作品。 這一幅 星空 ,不只美麗,還份外有意義。
