Wheel basketball life

It happened years ago. It has stuck with me since, and I find it awfully relevant to me today in relation to where I am, as well as in observing my friends, peers and contemporaries.

I overheard something said from one notable player to another, in the middle of the court, between passes, during a casual pickup game of basketball in campus. Both of them represented the varsity and state team. Both had the same name. Except one was modest chap, and the other, otherwise. That said, I think what was said encapsulates all sorts of characters and facades.

Kita ni hidup macam roda. Ada masa kita dekat atas, ada masa kita dekat bawah.

(This life is like a wheel. There are times when we are up there, there are times when we are down there.)
