Red Alert
You know, I love the colour red and have come to realize that Christmas wouldn't be complete without it. Red presents, red baubles and beads on the tree, everything red. Strong and vibrant. Like this window display with it's gift ideas. I saw it and snapped a shot. Completely attracted and drawn in.
And what a year 2007 has been. We're just days away to saying goodbye. So much good and yet the bad headlines the papers. Personally, I've achieved enough to keep me going another few years. Socially, I want to somehow bring some peace to our shaken nation. Lack of trust, a failing judiciary and racial unrest ever more prominent in our lives. Every small movement sends a red alert to the authorities and the shields, tear-gas and acid-filled water cannons appear in the middle of the city. Innocent are harmed.
I stand back and wish for love. Red is a beautiful colour. Let's not abuse it and waste it on warning signals.

That's from Tangs! That old man picture is distinctly Tangs.
I dun mind receiving a RED packet during Christmas too. :-p
Hear, hear. Peaceful wishes, right back atcha! (Are those red slippers in the middle shelf? Lovely.....)
Yup Philpok, it's Tangs KL at Pavilion, our new mall in Bkt.Bintang. I guess S'pore and KL have the same window display artist. How original!
Hello Meg!
Oh Edwin, what a beautiful post.
Perfect composition in red for the photo, sad yet hopeful message for the text.
Glad this year was a good one for you. But there's so much we hope for the rest of the world.
(interesting that Keropok recognised the window display immediately - globalization in the making?
Edwin, your photo is awesome, but your caption is impeccable. Boy when I grow up I want to be like you. :-)
I second Keropok, I would not mind receiving a red-wrapped package in the mail, or even a simple red post card.
