Char Keow Teow without “Hum” and Superman
Couldn’t think of a better title than my lunch. (for the benefit of friends of other languages:) it’s fried kueh tiow without the hum no not my humps not my lovely lady lumps.sorry couldn’t help it. It’s cockles.)
Anyway, Thanks Iza for the optimistic way of looking at it.(which was thank god it wasn’t sandwiched) haha~shivers
These few days have been quiet. Not much of disturbing stuff. But something’s got me thinking. (And I warn you I’m seriously bored.) Ok here it goes….Superman in cartoon and drama series changes in the phone booth. Ever thought what it’d be like if the country was different?I can’t imagine Superman being local. Where’s he gonna change?This all started due to a joke between me and maddie about superman in a lift.
Here’s a couple of scenarios.
1. Superman changes in a local phone booth:(Our phone booths are open there’s no door.)
Our dearest Clark runs into a phone booth, (into a booth that’s dark and plastered with Singtel IDD ads.) He’s stuffing himself into the blue leotard emblazened proudly with the letter S so he can save the cats from getting culled at night. So he’s rushing to put on his undies and here comes Mr. ImmigrantOnWorkPermit(but maybe illegal) in his sarong tied round and tucked into his waist with his IDD call card waiting to call his girlfriend.And all you can see is the teeth. Scary part is Mr. ImmigrantOnWorkPermit might think it’s nice. Now who’s gonna save superman.
SUCESS RATE: 2/10(He’ll be lucky to even find an empty booth at night)
2. Superman changes in a lift in S’pore:(S’pore,not many high rise buildings)
He rushes in with his suit and specs pressing the highest floor. He’s rushing to save a damsel in distress whose just got flashed via bluetooth during lunch. He puts on his body suit first(rem, superman’s undies are on outside) then when he’s jus about to put his signature red undies on and shout "SUPERMAN" the lift door opens and people catch him pulling it halfway up in a half crouch position with his blue ass wiggling in the air. Very embarrassing plus no time to even put on cape.
SUCESS RATE: 4/10(He might even get jabbed with angry aunty’s umbrella)
PLUS!He might get lulled away from his flying and saving duties by the ever local SPGs.(ang moh in leotard and whose in his undies already leh!Wooohoo!!!)
For now this is all I’m able to think of but my verdict is still Superman can’t be local.If you can think of reasons why he shld or shldn’t be localised please feel free to post something.(it’s toll free. Don’t worry no charge for gold taps and first class flights overseas.)
Only reason why I think maybe he’ll be successful here is the possibility of him being a very cheap,convenient,user and evironmentally friendly aircon in this hot Singapore weather. Just don’t pass him the fake jade pendants sold in chinatown. Don’t wanna risk it being a kryptonite.
Warned you i was bored.:) K bye!have a gd dinner all.
