Superheroes revisited

When we were kids , all of us had favorite superheroes that we admired. There are a lot of them such as Superman, Batman, Ultraman, Spiderman, X-Men, etc.

I listed three famous superheores that I think should be on the top three:

1) Batman

The reason why I choose Batman is that Bruce Wayne is a successful and rich businessman in the Gotham City. Unlike many superheroes, he has no special superpower that I think ridiculuous and it will be stupid to have one. He uses his intellect, martial arts, science and technology against evil and bad people.

Although he's rich, he is very down to earth person and that is the reason why I like him. He is a normal person.

So Batman is in my top list.



2) Superman

He is at the second list, because he is too strong. His superpower make me sick and make me feel annoying to the highest degree.

He is powerful and the only thing can make him weak is the kryptonite which I think quite boring.

Nevertheless, he is strong. He also has very high self-esteem. He stands still and tall. So he is at the second.

What make him more interesting is that he is a loser as a reporter in his secret life. Wearing glasses and suddenly change himself to a superhero, a large contradiction, but amazing.



3) Professor X / Professor Xavier

He is one of the X-men characters among Wolverine, Pheoenix, Magneto and much more. His speciality of reading and controlling people's mind is amazing.

He is unique although he is physically weak. For me, the power of mind is the real power ever. That's why I like him.

So he is at number three.




....100) Spiderman

Spiderman is stupid teenager who has problem with his life and the personality crisis is funny. Spiderman is the weakest character among the superheroes. I don't like his so called spider-webs power. It's disgusting. Plus, he walks and climbs the building like a retard.

What the heck a superhero 'jalan terbongkok-bongkok macam orang nyanyuk?'

Analyzing and Prediction

So this week I have watched two Champions League games which Chelsea draw with Liverpool (4-4) and Barcelona beat Bayern Munich (1-0). Chelsea went to the semi-finals with aggregate (7-5) and Barcelona with aggregate (5-0).

My prediction is Barcelona will meet Manchester United in the final and Barcelona is declared the Champions thanks to Thierry Henry.

Analyzing and Predicting is one of the skills that everybody have but with different capabilities. It can improve according to time and experience.

Say it football, shares, economy, politics, all of them have the essence of prediction. The more accurate you are, the better.

Actually I am not a hardcore fan of football but I enjoyed analyzing the strength of a team and as well as enjoyed the prediction I made.

In 2002, when I were at the secondary school, I supported Brazil as my favourite team to win the World Cup and they did. In 2006, I predicted Barcelona to win the Champions League and Italy to win the World Cup. I'm slightly wrong in 2008 where I didn't choose likeable Manchester United to win the Champions League but they did beating Chelsea through the Final and I'm happy for them as they are my favourite team in EPL.

I predicted Najib won't be the 6th Prime Minister but he did. Yet, I'm wrong.

So here is the man who will makes a difference in Champions League this season.


Thierry Henry.

Thierry Henry was the man I hate the most in EPL when he was with Arsenal. Now, I like him very much because he is playing with the best team in the world, Barcelona. Messi is such a great player but I think Henry will be at the front page in the news tomorrow.

Ronaldo is a good player too but I don't think he is excellent playing in a such a big game. Henry lead Arsenal to the Final in 2006 CL and lost to Barcelona. He scored playing against Brazil in the WC 2006 thus Brazil were out in the quarter-final. He decided to join Barca which I believe a huge decision ever he had made leaving his lovely team Arsenal.

So, I want to see if my prediction is correct.

Prayer and Football

I believe all of us have hope and faith regardless what God you believe in and what religion you are into. Even atheist do have hope based on logical facts, although they not believe in God. They may believe hard work is the fundamental principle of success.

We Muslims have three fundamental principles of success which are Effort, Prayer (Dua'a) and Tawakkal (Depending on the God with due reliance). I am not into religion anyway ( for now).

I have googled "Dear god please awarded", and I got a handful of interesting results.

• "Dear God please don't kill us all"

• "Dear God if you cannot make me thin, please make my friends fat"

• "Dear God please give me bail out so I can believe"

• "Dear God, please exist"
  

It is Champions League season and Barcelona beat Bayern Munich at Nou Camp 4-0. It is a superb attacking trio of Henry, Eto'o and Lionel Messi.

• "Dear God, please awarded Barcelona, Champions League Cup"

Amin.
