3BL +1BE+1BR+1WH+2YE :: The Whole World

It's been all about Russell Peters lately, and he's got me thinking about "colors". Black, Brown, White, Yellow, Beige. That right there represents the primary colors of the world already. It means the whole world. Let me know if I'm missing a color from the palette, red doesn't count.

Anyways I was skipping down the street after work as usual, passing by the usual basketball court outdoors with yellow sticks running around with an orange ball, as usual, supposedly, but something was unusual this time. The canvas was painted rather colorfully with various colors....so I took count.


(Click to count too)

Brown - Check
Beige - Check
White - Check
Black - Check.Check.Check
Yellow - Check.Check...waitWTF

Hong Kong is a international city and colors mix around pretty often, hell almost everyday everywhere, but it was pretty fresh for me to see them together in a palet...basketball court. Thats global competition right there, in a small half-court canvas and I haven't seen anything like that since back in the days in Okinawa. What stunned me more was the 2 yellows were only KIDS, playing buffcut black and beiges in their 20's~30's. They made a shot too. Ok they're just playing around but c'mon you don't see shit like that on a normal day. Props to the kids with enough balls guts to play those guys.

Anyways it was a really weird scene so I snapped a photo. Thinking about it now, if one of them were wanted or something I woulda been killed.

i thought this was a photo you took while checking out the guys on the court!

i'm more shocked to see black black black!
not so common around here, unless you go to nathan road.

well..I was...kinda...in a way..

I forgot to mention my office is at Wanchai, right in the middle of the pink light district.

So the Bla Bla Black kinda makes sense. Only in that area.
