If you have watched Sci-fi movies about the parallel universe, I’m sure you must have thought “hmmm… what would I be like in a parallel universe”
What’s a parallel universe?
Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one’s own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a multiverse, although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that constitute physical reality. While the terms “parallel universe” and “alternative reality” are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term “alternative reality” that implies that the reality is a variant of our own. The term “parallel universe” is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship, or lack of relationship, with our own universe. A universe where the very laws of nature are different – for example, one in which there are no relativistic limitations and the speed of light can be exceeded – would in general count as a parallel universe but not an alternative reality. The correct quantum mechanical definition of parallel universes is “universes that are separated from each other by a single quantum event.”
Ok, it’s basically another universe similar to ours, with just 1 single “quantum event” of difference. I could have decided to wear blue instead of pink clothes today, and something else would affect my life and the ripple effect continues to affect other things in the world.
Some crazy things to think about… what will I be like in a parallel universe if I did 1 thing differently in my life…
1. I’m famous celebrity (actually I think in another universe also very unlikely lah~)
2. I become a billionaire over night.
3. I end up as a prostitute in the streets. jia lat!
4. In a parallel universe.. I might live a longer or shorter life. Scary thought that there’s a Priss in another universe that passed away just minutes ago.
5. I’m worshipped as a goddess of some huge religious sect. HAHA
6. I might have become one of my many childhood ambitions… A singer, an architect, a professional dancer, a lawyer, a fashion designer, a mathematician…
7. I might have attained nirvana in some other parallel universe.
8. I might not have had a blog
9. I might have a blog that is even more popular than XiaXue
10. In an ideal world, I am happy, and everyone else are happy.
If theories of the parallel worlds are true, and that there are infinite number of parallel worlds and infinite number of possibilities for this world… then there MUST be one where everyone.. every single being.. is happy.
Unfortunately, we are stuck in this one. This one suck. Live with it. Stop complaining and whining about everyone around you and go do something for yourself. It IS that 1 action, or a chain of actions, that you can take to change your destiny. Perhaps this serves as a self-reminder.

How is it bo liaoz. It’s important existential questions…. Although there won’t be an answer to this kind of question, but it is still nonetheless important to think about the limitless possibilities of the universe.
Bleh!
