Let's party this meaningless party and play that meaningless chess game.

yesterday i was blog hopping, then i came across lyndy's blog. her latest post is about life and how it's like through her own eyes.

and you know what? i so agree with her. after reading it, i thought of something like hers.

to me, life's like a masquerade party. you go to that grand party and you'll see lots of people. guys in tux of different colour and shades, girls in dresses that is either so glamorous or trashy. it's like a first impression thing, you see people of all shapes and sizes just like how you see people in tux and dresses.

and then you start introducing yourself to these people in their masks. their masks are either scary, beautiful, outrageous or unique. and.. you start to wonder, what's really behind that mask? how does that person look like without it? does the face behind it suit the mask he/she is wearing? and by that, i am meaning the personality. the same person in the mask you've met would wear another mask to another party. so you see, in different situation, people wears a different mask.

and why we're all so complicated? to survive. to survive, we need that mask to fit in. to survive, we need to dance to the music being played. to survive, we need to play that boring chess game.

yes, life's also like a chess game whether you like it or not.

at times you're the master of the game and at times you'll stump so low that you're just a mere pawn.

and so, right now, you're playing your game well. i can see it. i'm pretty sure you know i know. continue to play your game well dear, i believe you've yet to meet the real master. she may be a pawn right now? but who knows what's the outcome? you could be the queen and she the pawn but who knows it's the other way round?

or maybe, she's the master in her game, and you are yours. and you guys are just mere pawns in each other's game.

hmm, i'll be watching. oh sure you're winning right now. right now. but we'll see. =)
