0 The Smiling Sky

The evening sun shines bright these days. 5 o'clock has never meant so much to me and though I should be deterred by the blast of humidity, I sit and wait outside my balcony for things to unfold.

The changing sky is so beautiful. I stay, catching the  glorious scene of sun rays bursting through the clouds and watched lines of light shoot across the blue.. ☀

I snapped a photo, shared it on Facebook, singing that "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" song.

Minutes later, a friend pointed out that the clouds were smiling. My heart raced a little. Could it be? I've always wanted to join the ranks of people who could see shapes from cloud formations, the person who snapped that "cool" photo.

And then I saw it.

The sky is smiling!

Happy faces in the sky! From left, a moustached guy with thick eye brows, then a face with closed slit eyes and finally, an old man with a broad smile! A meeting in the Heavens filled with joy and laughter. I felt their warmth.

This photo was taken on 1st March, 5.46PM

I've always wondered what it would be like to read the sky. Perhaps I was too logical in my thoughts before but on this day, my imaginative side was awakened.

2 The RED Lunar New Year Campaign

The alarm was set for 6a.m. It was a spur of the moment thing. I felt like I needed some fresh air so I got up early for a stroll in the park.

As I was enjoying the cool air with machoman by my side...

"Flower! Flower!" I dug my camera out from my pocket..which I brought along 'secretly'. 

"Ling, I'm surprised you brought your camera. There! There! Another red!" I looked at him with my eyebrows raised.

"Ahem..for Lion Girl's red campaign, kan?" He continued. Impressive. Hubby knows. I laughed.

It's exciting. Eleven days into the campaign and here I am sitting and reflecting over this exercise of posting photos of any red object onto our Facebook. Brilliant ..this red initiative has got to be the most brilliant idea ever! It makes counting down to the Lunar New Year more meaningful. What better way to get ourselves into the mood than post photos of all things red - the must-have, must-wear auspicious colour that is traditionally tied to this celebration. 

I've been faithfully posting one red photo per day and these are my favourites ..

A Hanging Decoration - Love this one because it's so festive!

My Happy Red Mug - Ideally balanced!

Ok, these really are "red" flowers I took from the park. I blame my camera for playing this trick on me!

By the end of the campaign, my Facebook account will be a wall of festive red. I have Lion Girl to thank for making my page so beautiful and for keeping the spirit of cheerfulness alive in everybody's hearts with her infectious "wakakakaka" (that's a guffaw for you) and her many supportive words.
