the dai di story

once upon a time, there was a deck of cards. they were found resting on my music homework.

i couldnt do my homework because they were in the way, so i had no choice but to stop awhile and observe what the cards were trying to say.

first, they arranged themselves this way.

i interpret it this way. even if we are all big and important people, we still need someone to help perfect us. and this person may be the smallest and least important among us all.

then they shuffled themselves, and then showed me this instead:

this is how i see it. in a group of friends, we need to stay together to stay strong. it only takes one person to betray us and join a smaller and lesser group but which has better teamwork... then the original group will fail, even if it finds the next best person to substitute the missing link. this is because, a substitute is still just a substitute. you can't get the original back without getting the original back. ged what i mean?

next, they rearranged themselves and displayed:

this is the way i see it. if we're all big people, sometimes even togetherness and teamwork cannot guarentee success. some other smaller group that has a smooth and teamwork can beat us... even if they are the smallest of people. do not underestimate them.

after that i think the cards got bored. they taunted me with things i have never gotten in any hand before and what i have always dreamed of.

this is a royal flush. (according to kheng lam, CRITICAL royal flush) the biggest 5 card combo ever. full stop.

this is not a combo to be played. when a game is started, you are dealt 13 cards. if you just happen to have one card of each number, then you have what is called a dragon and you automatically win the game. seen here is the most unlikely dragon anyone will get: a 'CRITICAL' royal dragon whatever. nice eh?

just remember, do your best, hope for the best, but dont expect to succeed all the time. nobody is perfect, and neither are you. it is our imperfectness that makes us human and makes us who we are. appreciate them and turn it into your strength. he (or she) who conquers his/her fears and weaknesses is the greatest person of all.

oh ya, another thing. play more dai di.

the end.
