Was walking home from work, having had the most terrible and most frustrating day, and i bumped into safrizan, and old friend from poly. He was selling Ayam Percik(percik chicken, honestly i dont know the true translation.) and he called me over. We had a stick and he offered to send me home.

I was famished, so i decided to go makan first over at Al-amin. Suddenly, both of us started making calls and before the hour was up, we were joined by Qamah, Salim, Fir, Rasfan and Blaine. It was a super impromptu gathering but it was not unlooked for. I was immediately cheered up! haha

We had a long discussion, about life, and Ijan came up with a very interesting view on life.

LIFE IS A BOARD GAME OF SNAKE AND LADDERS.

Now this might sound cliche, but it made sense.

Say you have a target. perhaps a car. so you play the game, going up life's ladders to bring you closer, going down the snakes along the way. Sometimes, you see a ladder, but actually its a snake, masquerading as a ladder. Sometimes, you expect to fall but come out nearer to you target than you ever expected. The game,of course, isnt complete without dice. The dice are the choices we make, whether right or wrong, 1 or 6, will bring us closer or push us further from our target.

Now, concurrently, there are millions of other targets, each over and under our current target, and every decision we make moves the pieces on the other parallel boards as well. Cool huh? An infinite game of Snakes and ladders.

Would you like to play with me?
