I arrived at a place surrounding by fire,
I don’t know where and I have no idea,
I looked at my hands and both of them covered with blue light fire,
Now I know I have super power!
Suddenly I heard someone laughing and shouting hysterically like orang gila,
The person covered by smoke in the atmosphere!

When the smoke completely disappeared,
I saw a women in cape standing with swagger,
She is Nicki Minaj the crazy singer!
Her hair coloured like Kangkung Belacan,
With all those over the top fashion, I think I don’t stand a chance!
But I tried to fight like a true superhero,
Finally she is defeated and I am the Supa-Hero to bestow!

So, I cracked my head for ideas on how to persuade my neighbour to give away their dogs instead of keeping them in the cage for 24/7 without offending them. Afterall, we have been neighbours for as long as I could remember and I didn’t want to create any conflicts. I believe each and every one of us has a power to make a difference. So, I don on my invisible cape to summon my courage to talk to the neighbour.

It was such a relief when my neighbour readily agreed to give up their dogs for adoption since they do not have time to care for them. I was so happy to be of assistance and within the next few days, I managed to get compassionate friends to adopt their dogs so that the dogs don’t have to be fed with regular human food like kangkong belacan and bak kut teh! You don’t need superpowers to be superheros. All you need is a compassionate heart and courage to stand up for the less fortunate to make a difference.

It was raining and naturally, I didn’t have an umbrella with me. With no money and no raincoat, I had to trudge through the rainy streets by myself. I shivered and cursed myself as I ran up to a dark alley to dry up. I could hear cats screeching as they ran or fell into dumpsters, I wasn’t really sure. I ignored them and took out my phone to check what time it was. The light from my iPhone ignited a small portion of the alley as the screen read 23.11pm. “Great,” I thought aloud. “It’s 11.11! Hah! Maybe I should make a wish for the heck of it.” I chuckled to myself thinking about all those stupid girls in school who would probably be doing that right now, wishing for some boy with 6 pecks to swoop them off their feet. For the heck of it, I made a silent wish. “I wish things would be different.” Then, the weirdest thing happened. With a huge flash of lightning, I saw something that I didn’t notice before. A laptop was sitting all by itself in that alley. It was a sleek brand new Lenovo one as well. I approached it with pure scorn, wondering who on Earth left it there. As I approached it, the screen magically lit up. The screen read, “Hello, Casey.” I was so freaked out I tripped over my own feet and fell down in shock. “Why are you so afraid?” it asked. “You wished for things to be different, didn’t you?” It was then that I understood what had happened.

Many years had past and boy, did I make a difference. Not only was I the youngest person to graduate at Oxford with the highest GPA, but I was also the first person to find a cure for cancer. I had it all; fame, fortune, girls, attention, you name it. And it was all thanks to the Lenovo laptop. It was the true secret behind all of my doings. You see, this was no ordinary laptop. It literally had a mind of it’s own. A thing that was so smart that you do literally do anything with it. And so I chose to be a superhero. The best part of this was that I didn’t need a cape or any powers of any sort. I just needed the right ideas and maybe a bowl of kangkung belacan to enhance my thinking skills and bam, amazing things would be born. Now, I am old and worn. My glory days are over and alas, I am not immortal. I’m taping this so that you can take over from now on. You now know all my secrets. The Lenovo laptop is hidden deep in the Harold mansion, in the diamond safe. You already know the combination.However, do remember that with great power comes great responsibility. It’s you who should steer now.

Few months ago while having dinner with my family at 123 Food Court, I had a strong cravings for Kangkung Belacan plus Sotong. I quickly ran towards the store and shout out my order. Hiding behind the tall piles of Kangkung was the hawker’s son in a cape, indulging himself with computer games on his Aqua Blue Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Ultrabook™.

I inched closer towards him and said, “You should help your father to reduce his workload.” He stared at me and answered, “I have always wanted to learn the secret recipe of this dish but my father insisted that I should complete all levels ‘Vegetable Chopper’ before he pass down the family secret to me.” The hawker passed my order and replied, “I want my so to learn the fundamentals before exposing him to the culinary world.”

His replied struck my mind with a strange idea because I have always failed in my mission to be a superhero. I quickly lay a strong foundation by reading materials and practising my martial art skills. My quick progress has transform me into my own definition of ‘Sotongman’ with extraordinary power.
