Colours!

Colour is an important element that we cannot live without in life, everything in this world has colours such as the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the buildings or houses we live in and so on. It is a form of non-verbal communication where individuals would interpret the same colour differently from each other, or they might even interpret the same colour differently each day according to personal mood.

I believe that everyone has their own favourite colours. One of my favourite colour is RED

The reason why i love red is because this colour gives me a sense of strength, hope, determination, and energizing power in life. It is also typically viewed as a colour of joy and happiness which I can share with my family and friends during any celebrations or festive seasons. For example, during Chinese New Year, most of my family members would wear red colour clothes and the decorations around will be filled with red-ness. Hence, this always bring about a sense of excitement, warm and love which are shared among each family members.

Besides that, I find that red is a very attractive colour in the sense that it can capture a person's attention more effectively compared to other colours. Therefore, many companies used red as their logo's background colour. For instance, KFC, McDonalds, CIMB bank and so on.

Also, red somehow gives me a sense of positivity and courage in life which leads me to be motivated in doing a particular task or when I am working in a team. Lastly, I associate red as being beautiful and pretty. This is because many flowers such as rose and hibiscus are red in colour, they look attractive even from a distance. Hence, showing that it is a powerful and strong colour.

Another favourite colour of mine is BLUE

There is only one simple reason why i love the colour blue, especially sky blue. It is because sky blue gives me a sense of calmness, peacefulness, and tranquility in life. Each time i look up at the sky, despite of the different tones of blue during that particular day, the blue sky and white clouds will always combine perfectly with each other, making it a breathtaking sight. Unconsciously, this enables me to cast all my stress and frustrations aside, trusting that better plans would be ahead of me regardless of the current situation.
