Here's a simple game I just thought up.
Think of 3 colours that you feel, best describes you. Try and put a reason to why you chose that colour to describe yourself. Personality, Outlook in life, Who you are... etc. etc. Don't tell us what they are. Keep them to yourself for now. You'll need to reveal them later when the game is over.
eg 1. My Name: Count Dracula
Red - because I love blood
White - because I love virgin blood
Black - because that's all I ever see... sunlight kills me.
eg 2. Your friend's Name: Chan Ah Beng
Red - Because he's so angry all the time
Yellow - Because he has such a sunny smile everytime I see him
Dark Lavender - I keep sensing this deep dark mystery about him.
See, simple? But remember, don't tell us yet.
You have your 3 colours? You have the 3 reasons why you've chosen these three colours? Ok good. Don't change your choices now. Lock them and keep them safe. For best results, you mustn't change your choices after the next step because we want you to make the choices without the influence of other people's opinions.
Ok, next step. Let's try and put 3 colours on each and everyone of your friends here.
Each of us has a multiply page. If you want to play this game, create a new blog with the title "Colour My Life".
Each of us will then go in and state the three colours that we think describes you best. Everyone please go and post your "coloured" opinion of the person. At the end of say... 1 week when we decide to close the game, we will tally all the colours eg. green - 4 votes, blue - votes, white - 1 vote etc. and pick the top 3. This top three represents the top three colours that all your friends see you as.
Final step. When the game is closed and everyone has been "rated" with 3 top colours by everyone else, post and reveal to us the three original colours that you had chosen for yourself and see if what you perceive yourself to be is the same as what others see you as...
Interested? Dare you play and find out just what people think of you?
Let's play.
This is my "Colour My Life" page. Go ahead and post your 3 colours that you think suits me best or describes me best.
K. play.
ReplyDeleteSo for example, you're Ursula, and this Ursula's Color My Life page.
ReplyDeleteI would put
My Name : Ursula Lam
Red - because she uses too much lipstick
Blue - because she beats people up
Black - ^ same as above.
Without mentioning the colors right?
OH nevermind, I got it.
ReplyDeleteYou put it as your own and let others guess at the colors.
ReplyDeleteKekeke. Post the 3 colours you think describes me here. Don't forget to make your own "Colour My Life" page on your multiply... eerrr.. in your case it would be "Color My Life" page. :P
ReplyDeletestill don't understand...I cannot mentioned the colour right? I can only write my name ..maybe you can guide me.
ReplyDeleteEdited: Sorry I changed my mind on one color...
ReplyDeleteJM
Red - Righteous, Bold. JM is not afraid to speak up, the truth and nothing but the truth.
Yellow - Charm, Humour, Delightful. Always manage to make us laugh without much efforts. He is a born-natural!
Black - Sometimes, depending on situations, JM can be very serious too... ;-P
now i got to think what are my three colors that suits me best.... *tap fingers*... i can only come up with my three fave colors, as to how these colors describe me... hmmm got to scratch my head a little..
ok. visit me at my site.. JM may I copy your rules of the game to my site...?
Hi! Just choose three colours that you think will describe me the best then post it here.
ReplyDeleteThen on your multiply page, start a new blog with the title "Colour My Life". We will also go there and post what colours we think will describe you also. Then later, when the game is over, we will collect all the post and see what top three colours your friends describe you as.
Example, After you have chosen the three colours that you think describes yourself best, we will start posting into your multiply page. Let's say I post in your site red, blue, white. Moon posts on your site, Yellow, Red, Green. Centaur posts on your site White, Green, Red. So when the game ends we total Red = 3 votes, Blue = 1 vote, White = 2 votes, Yellow = 1 vote, Green = 2 votes. This means that all your friends voted that the three colours that describe you best are Red, White and Green. Then you tell us what are the three colours that you choose for yourself and see if they are the same or different!
Moon, go ahead and repost the rules on your site.
kakakaka red, yellow and black. I'm a bumblebee with a red sting!
ReplyDeleteInteresting... :P
lynn.. go ahead and create a blog.. see ya!
ReplyDeleteits always interesting to know how others look and think of us... ;-)
Mon Cher:
ReplyDeleteGreen - the colours of grass and sea, the former denotes tranquility and the latter, turbulence or activity. Two qualities in one, the same way Mon Cher's taiji centres and calms him, and his natural talent for keeping busy.
Khaki - I notice that it is his favourite colour for his trousers, and I will always link khaki trousers to Mon Cher. It also reminds me of the big-game hunter he was meant to be.
Hot pink: Mon Cher's proclivity for cross-dressing his characters XD
aye his fave shirt color is red okay... XD!
ReplyDeleteJiang Limon:
ReplyDeleteYellow - have a personal aura that attracts others. Maybe it's just being yourself?
Brown - Sometimes the world is a little too white and clean, LJM leaves a stain on the world that cannot be scrubbed off; a little bit of dirtiness is never bad. His humor is like stains, he does not expect it to make you laugh - it just happens.
White - Although his mind can be unclean (laydee boys... arg), it can easily purged into a blank slate to create. Because white cannot balance brown (brown is not yin enough) enough, his humor spills over into his serious work. White reflecting how he can clear other people's slates of worries and woes.
My name is Hui-en
ReplyDeleteGrey - the color of my robe
Blue - the strength and steadiness behind it
white - that someday nirvana could be like that.
OK, JM... here you go...
ReplyDeleteWhite: For your lightning humor
Yellow: For your smile and appreciation of the funky side of live (durians included)
Red: For your love of women
Ok.....my turn...JM;
ReplyDeleteYellow: cheerful, humourous, this is how you present yourself towards people around you
Green: Witty, deep thoughts, curiousity, observant
Blue: Can be serious at times
Whatcha tryin' ta say huh?
ReplyDeleteAll replies in yet? Anyone want to make changes to their answers? We end this game and tally the votes in a few days time.
ReplyDeletenahda... happy with whatever.
ReplyDeleteerr... ok but I donno what "Grey - the color of my robe", or "white - that someday nirvana could be like that" has to do with me...
ReplyDeletewas hoping you might want to be monk someday.... hehehe.
ReplyDeleteerrr.... then should I discount your post then in the tallying of votes since the votes are for what you think I am, and not what you hope I might want to be?
ReplyDeletehehehe. ok, poor thing.
ReplyDeletewait, wait, wait, let me give new one.... (ok lah, last minute, so what ah!)
ReplyDeleteGreen - still wet behind the ears
Red - from the headaches some people give you.
White - the longed for peace...
Hahaha "wet behind the ears", that's a first. Will log this.
ReplyDeleteHere's my total. Top three colours (there a tie for 3rd) in descending order, White, Yellow, Red and Green! Fairly strong in White and Yellow but scattered colours after that.
ReplyDeleteOk, time to reveal what my own colours are. Let's compare!

Colours discounted due to replacement with new colour postings in later post.
Grey - the color of my robe
Blue - the strength and steadiness behind it
white - that someday nirvana could be like that.
Well, let us know how we should go about posting our own colours. :)
ReplyDeleteMy own thoughts on my colours were;
ReplyDeleteOrange - for being overly energetic and sparky, constantly looking for new stuff to try
Dark Blue - for the serious part of me that suffers no nonsense
Pink - for the loud, unexpected part of me
Having White, Yellow, Red and Green denoting what people see me as is rather interesting. The explanations for White are all over the place and I can't really pin it down. Yellow shows a consistent pattern though, and would probably match my choice of Orange.
The explanations for Red seems to match my Dark Blue but probably reflects more the degree of severity rather than the actual reflection, so yes I think Red here equals my Dark Blue.
The Green here is surprising. The explanations are again all over the place and in no way matches my selection of Pink.
I suspect three things have happened here.
1. There is an inner "me" that few people see
2. Some of the selections were "less-than" serious and so spoilt the results of the game
3. cultural/gender stereotypes probably played a part in selecting colours for individuals
. cultural/gender stereotypes probably played a part in selecting colours for individuals
ReplyDeleteJah.
Plus, I think the fact that later participants saw the color choices of previous folks undoubtedly had some effect.
ReplyDeleteInteresting game. But since I don't know anyone here very well, and vice versa, I will sit this one out.
