More Colours


Green is the colour we like to see more of especially in cities which have grown into concrete jungles. City parks are far and few in between but these green lungs are highly sought-after by people who long for some greenery. Green has a cooling effect and it is very pleasant on the eyes. So if you're lucky and have a garden, set your green fingers to work so that you have beautiful plants and flowers to enjoy. They are indeed a sight for sore eyes.

Green is also the colour of envy and the green-eyed monster has taken some by storm especially when love becomes a triangle instead of a duo. In this respect, it is certainly unpleasant if you are at the receiving end.

If you are given the greenlight, it means you can proceed, either in traffic or in a project.

Then there is the old village green, where in the past, the Maypole dance used to be held. It was just a piece of common grassy land in the centre of the village. Nowadays, there is the golf green where you hole out your golf ball. These greens can be very tricky and to hole the ball in just one putt is just plain luck or an uncanny ability to read the green!










Blue is what you dont want to be cos you can end up tearing your hair or leaping off a multi-storey block. However, there are good Samaritans out there who can draw you out of your blue mood. Some people like to sing the blues, or play the blues, which is melancholy music of Black American origin. While one may be a blue-eyed boy and enjoy the patronage of influential mentors, the girls may not like being called blue stockings, a rather derogatory term for an intellectual lady. Being of blue blood has its advantages especially in the working world but being a blue baby is certainly a sorry introduction into life.

If you have many blue chips in your investment portfolio, chances are you are all set for a cosy lifestyle but then a global downturn out of the blue may hit you very hard and you may find yourself chewing your nails to the quick. However, that should not see you rushing to watch blue films for comfort but to take the time to work out a blue print to ride through the tough times ahead.

Finally, I'm hoisting my Blue Peter as I leave port. Cheers!
