Red
Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and as in usual practice, everything is left to the last minute. So expect the crazy rush to spring clean the house, pay the debts, buy new cloths, foodstuff, the little things that made up the Lunar New Year.
I wouldn't be on-line for a short while, so in the meantime, try to enjoy this repost...

Red
Red is the colour of the blood in my veins
is the colour of kinship
is the colour of life.
Red is the colour of the petals of peony
is the colour of luscious lips
is the colour of beauty
Red is the colour of the face of Guan Yu
is the colour of autumn trees
is the colour of loyalty
Red is the colour of memorial tablets on altars
is the colour of candles
is the colour of faith
and red is the colour of my beating heart
is the colour of your blush
when we first held hands
is the colour of our love.

HI,
I enjoyed this post a lot. (I used to wonder why so many Chinese restaurants were decorated in red.)I notice red in your blog icon, too and a "green eye!" :)
Happy lunar new year!

thank you! glad you like the post.
to the chinese, red is an auspicious colour, more so during the lunar new year.
now you know why my blog icon is red too.:) (i drew the icon using a graphics program and i thought red will be an eye-catching colour in a white background.)
