I am crazy about the color orange. It evokes strong emotion, radiates warmth, and energy. My belongings have a lot of orange stuff from clothes, shoes, hats, school supplies, phone cases ... and so on. My dad promised me that he would buy me an orange Vespa motorbike if I could get into an economics university. I will try my best!

I like any colour, which beautiful. Like the rainbow colour, the galaxy colour, the colour of the cherry,... Why? Because it makes me feel comfortable, maybe because it has harmonic. Oh, and I hate blue because I have a friend like blue, and he is so so so dark, he was disgusting, filthy, indifferent, ungainly, grumpy, ridiculous, ignorant, his consciousness was narrow. Just he, not you. : )
