Half-Boiled Egg

As we were leaving the carpark of HOSKA, we heard a wet kinda "blab" fell on the car. We thought it was one of the ripened mangos like the many suicidal ones that landed on the ground. When we got home, I thought I'd go check on the mango to find that OMG(!) it was an egg!

The egg was the size of an olive. By the time we got home, having driven directly under the blazing hot sun for a good 45 minutes, the egg had solidified and changed its consistency to those of the half-boiled eggs.

Of all the cars in HOSKA, the egg landed on our car! How lucky were we? Was the egg suicidal or did it suffer an accidental fall? Whichever one, it made my heart sink a little. To see an egg, which could have been fully developed into a bird lost its only chance to see the world. How unfortunate to have come this far and ended up losing it all and becoming nothing? This made me a little sad as I related it to instances where we could have become something bigger and stronger, but due to our lack of perseverance and our quick desire to give up, we lose them all!

We were never promised smooth-sailing journey in all that we do. Sometimes the transition from being an egg to a bird is not easy. However, would you rather be a fully developed bird or would you choose to suffer the life of an half-boiled egg, splattering all over some lucky person's car? If you ever thought of blessing some car owners with your egg white, yolk and shell? Think again...Not a very pretty sight, when it's half-boiled on the car, it leaves a stain and it also does not smell very pleasant. Being an half-boiled egg on some person's car may not be the best thing you can do for yourself and for others. Why not suck it up, press on and be a fluffly, flying bird instead?

Omg, a boiled egg can make you think of these things?

I would probably think

"Which moron threw this egg?"
