the REAL me.

I have no idea how this topic came to me. It somewhat just hit me on the head. And I think it's rather ironic now that I'm discussing about colours when my blog just turned black and white. Well, greyscale, actually. In any case, here goes..

All my life, I have been taking colours for granted. I mean, it's another one of those things that we have gotten so used to having around that we don't realize it's importance anymore.

But now i realize how colours are affecting our everyday lives. In fact, many of the choices that we make each day revolve around colours. When we buy food, the colour of the food affects our perception on the palatability of the food. But it doesn't just stop at food. Many of our purchases are based on colours, after all. From clothes to furniture, accessories to hair dyes, having different colours gives us different choices. Even certain items that used to be black or white only have introduced different colours to appeal to different crowds. Like the iPod, and even the PSP (PSP Pink.. Eww..) comes in a variety of colours now. And don't get me started on camou cream..

I've just decided not to go on talking about something about colours that is quite close to our hearts, namely problems caused by different colours. And again I've just replaced some text that is supposed to follow the previous sentence with this very statement instead. You can't be too careful, you know? In fact, maybe I should remove this entire chunk of text. But I suppose it's too vague to be used against me. In any case, it's up to you readers to use your imagination on what these "problems" might be. However, I guess these problems don't really exist in our motherland. They are more evident in other societies, I suppose.

Colours are also associated with beauty. Rainbows are the most common association, I suppose. I've only seen rainbows two or three times in my entire life, but I must say, it is truly a sight to behold. But I wonder why Newton described the rainbow as having seven colours, even though I suppose he knew that it is somewhat a continuous spectrum of colours. And isn't it amazing how the combination of the three primary colours of light (red, green and blue) can give us white light? Colours sure are amazing..

Well, I suppose that's about all I have to say about colours. As a closing note, check out the sites I've listed under "Cool Sites". PBF Comics contains comic strips that are rather satirical, and they are really funny. Uncyclopedia is a satirical parody of Wikipedia, and the articles are nonsensical, retarded, and just plain funny. Guess I love satire. I hope to add more to the list soon. And to end off this entry, here's a pseudo-image (it's actually just a table) of random colours. I'm putting it in for Yuheng's sake, since he said my blog needs pictures to augment my entries. But then he will say it's for my own sake, since it's MY blog, not his. Well anyway, it will be different each time you refresh the page. Enjoy! *Rolls eyes*

Edit: Blogger is retarded. I can use Javascript in my template but I cant use it in my posts. Guess I'll just have to put the pseudo-image above this post inside my template instead..
