The Super-Long Entry

Today, there’s a mini-class gathering with my JC mates. The people present for this gathering, although pathetically small, were Jinhua, Huda, Hafizah and Kitty. It was quite surprising when Huda suggested that we go Ice-Skate because I never would have imagined them being into sports. Anyways, the skate was not a bad idea. Think that everyone had their fair share of fun. Hafizah molested a boy ( age should be below 12 ), JinHua managed to learn how to skate. Huda got to see me fall “graciously” ( on all fours, mind you ).

Went to watch Superman Returns with Hafizah and Huda after being cheated by Kitty. She said that there’s a Wallet Shop outside the IMM Giant. I was thinking of THE Wallet Shop, not the pasa-marlam type. Anyways, Superman was quite a nice show. It isn’t on my Must Watch List but since it’s the only movie available, we had to choose it. My rating for the Superman Returns will be : 2.0 Almond Jellies. The low score partly due to the lady sitting behind me who keeps kicking my chair. Wait, I wouldn’t even call her a lady, that bitch. *Hafizah cried when Superman Died*

While waiting patiently for my bus to arrive, I started thinking how great it would be to have super-speed like Superman’s. To be faster than a speeding bullet, means ( at that moment ) I would already be home and not stand there like a idiot waiting for public transport which definitely moves slower than a speeding bullet. On the ride home, all the ‘what-ifs’ bombarded my mind. How nice it will feel to not have gravity act on you? How great it will be to have super human strength?

But just as I reached my designated stop, reality dropped down on me like a great hunk of kryptonite. Life is not a fairy tale, that’s why we don’t have men in skin hugging spandex flying around our HDB blocks. ( it will be a sight to behold if there were.)

On the short walk home from the bus stop, that’s the time when “Why the world hates Superman” syndrome kicked in. Superman is a freak of nature! Unlike his alien counterparts ( whom normally have 10 eyes too many ), Superman looks exactly like us humans. He is like a outcast no matter where you put him. With the aliens, he looks abnormal. With Humans, he possesses too many super-powers ( and looks too good! Says so by a particular sex of the Homo Sapiens Species ).

But still, it would be good to have super-powers.

Here are the five super powers that I wish I have:
1) Super-Human Bulging Muscles:
Who needs Super-Strength when you have muscles like his.

2) Super-Breath:
What I meant is NO-BAD-BREATH.

3) Super-Speed:
It will be a breeze to pass your IPPT and Re-service term.

4) Super-Good Looks:
Need I explain?
5) Super-Size Schlong:

It would be great to have people digitally erasing your over size er-herm every time they are going to publish your pictures on the paper.
