Yellow Fellow

Some of you may know I teaches in Republic Polytechnic. And during the 2nd semester, I'll be teaching this module call "Contemporary Issues in Culture & Aesthetics". We're into our 8th week of the semester and usually the second half of the semester we start to focus on aesthetics issues.

For this week's problem, we talked about things that have an aesthetic value or what defines beauty given this phrase "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". Sounds so philosophical, you might say. Well, let me tell you, there is actually a "formula" that the academics had came up with that defines whether an item has an aesthetic value or not.

Anyway, I'm not going to spend another half day talking about that. The interesting part was, I was sharing with the class my liking for yellow colour and things that are in yellow, I find them attractive and beautiful. My liking for yellow is so great that a lot of my kids' clothings and toys are yellow (since I'm usually the one who shops for their stuff, I get to decide!).

I did a search at home just now. And I found, in the kitchen there are quite a number of things in YELLOW too! Wow... I didn't know I'm such a great fan of yellow.

So, here's some of the pictures I've extracted from the kids' albums in which they're dressed in some shades or patterns of yellow (inclusive of pillow cases, bedsheets). Plus my favourite yellow tulips, durian mousse cake, ladle rest etc.

And nope, you guessed it wrongly, I DO NOT like bananas, mangoes and pineapples. I bake durian cakes but I don't really fancy durian as the fruit itself.

Maybe I should named this blog "mellow yellow jean" instead...
