CCCcccrazzzzzzZZzzzziiiieeeEEEEeeee blue skies, don't you think so?!
Autumn is lovely... The leaves change colour. They dance around in the air as they fall from the trees tickled by the light breeze...
The ground is a mix of yellow, red, brown, orange and green, with the warm sunlight and cool shadow of the trees bringing out different levels of brightness...
I could spend days just walking around, snapping away and taking in the colourful surroundings. Ahhhh....
Flight
Anyway... People argue that superheroes in comics promote sexism in the sense that there're more prominent men superheroes than women. (e.g. Marvel, Capcom, DC Comics...) I think the problem isn't the physical disadvantage women have. This is what I think:
Larger Than Life
1. Wardrobe. How many costumes does the standard superhero have? You think the ladies can survive on that? If they started going shopping around for more costumes, the citizens would never know whether its the superhero coming to the rescue or another villain appearing to assist the one terrorizing the city.
Late For A Date
2. Changing. Superman walks into a red telephone booth, rips off his clothes and out he goes. Spiderman wears his sexy blue-red tights underneath his clothes and just slips on his mask and he is off. With the everyday woman already wearing more than the everyday man, it would take QUITE some selflessness to impose some MORE discomfort on oneself for the sake of the people around. If they don't, then they'll have to run into a toilet, change properly,(which would take quite some time with all the taking off and putting on) probably put some additional/remove some make-up, blow their hair......
Life After Death
Makes sense or not ah? Heheh... Alright... That was just for fun...
Anyways... Here's me calling out to the everyday female superheroes who change their costumes from wearing maternity dresses to backpackers(or rather... frontpacking the baby) to chaffeur uniform, then to the traditional flowery tops...
So Close And Yet So Far
Happy Mother's Day( & Parents' Day), all mommies(& daddies)! Especially to my dear old mom, Mdm Lau Ming Hung!! For all the 20 years of care, love, concern, worrying and harrying(though some of it were/are unnecessary...), chaffeuring, hard working to earn money and faith in me(and me siblings, of cos...) Here's a picture for you (& dad - Mr Ting Kong Yu)!

Church tomorrow! Scott "Sanga" Samways from Hillsong Church coming to speak. Should be something different...
