What My Piggy Eyes See....

My piggy eyes see...

A young piggy getting his first filet burger from Mcdonalds by himself...

My piggy eyes see...

An old piggy picking up rubbish in the streets in the dead of the moring...

My piggy eyes see...

People screaming as they are swpt by the torrent of waters from the hurricanes...

My piggy eyes see...

A young child fighting for his life after contracting the bird flu...

My piggy eyes see...

The saddest things in life.

A minute of silence for this year, the Natural Disasters year. There may be more deaths, may it be dengue, hurricanes Rita/Katrina, piggys cutting other piggys into pieces, bird flu, however, we as piggys must stand united and live on as we are born to.

Piggys stand strong and never give up. Positive input, hyper-positive output.

Terry Fox Run

Hi there everybody! As you can see from the titles I am going to tell you about the Terry Fox Run. As the Divine Piggy does it, it has been more than a boring run!

So with a great breather, here goes!

Once upon a time...
I came back from work, watched the telly, played Destruct-o-match till 6 and went down to take the bus. And I saw this Old Piggy taking trash cans from the rubbish bin. My piggy brain shuddered. Thee is still piggys out there picking litter for survival? Scavanging for food?
Then I started to sing, and as Devil Piggy would say, if I sing it rains. Well it did.

Well then a bee thought I was a tree and hang on to me like there was no tomorrow when a gust came. Then when I thought I was the only piggy in my area going for the run, there came a Runner Piggy going for the run too!

Well, at the Harbour Front Bus Interchange I was there with big crowd.

Of Terry Fox Run marshall piggys (you know, those nice piggys who cheer and points the way for you when you run like hell). I stood silent, and found myself in the same bus as many marshall piggys, being...
well... marshalled to a bus, given breakfast and a vest

which looks like I'm a Corrective Work Order piggy. Actually, they think I'm a marshall piggy because I'm young and wore the Terry Fox Run T-shirt (unlike the Runner Piggy who wore short shorts and those runner singlets)

Well as I was hungry, I ate the breakfast they have given me. Which composed of

a french bun (which looked like ginseng) , a muffin, a raisin bun and a sour puff, as well as

a banana, an apple and a water bottle.How thoughtful can the organiser piggys be?

It was running very heavily, and I my piggy guts are very empty, so I was really trembling. The group of marshall piggys which I have been assigned to happens to be around the underwater world. So here I was taking shelter along with the real marshall piggys...

Talking with the senior marshall piggys from the hotel Regent Singapore is very fun. We even took some photos together. Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever see them again.

Well, the rain stopped the 8 km run which I was registered to. Thank the guts the 4km run is still continuing. The drizzle was still there though.
As the marshall piggys with me are for the 8 km run, we went back to Palawan beach.

we arrived at the Palawan beach carpark and went in...

and I found so many runner piggys, for once not marshall piggys but real, runner piggys. Some wearing Terry Fox Run T-shirts, some runner singlets, some with their affliated companys, some with their very own piggy family. The excitment can be tasted!

Then it was time to run! Even though there was the drizzle, everybodys squeezing together at first and the wet muddy floor, it did not deter us runner piggys from giving our best and keeping the Spirit of Terry Fox Run alive!
When I was running I saw this sign which I found interesting.

"Owners must clean up after their pets..." interesting...
Must we wipe our piggy asses after our doggies do so?

Well after the runabout...

The run starts to get kinda painful as my trotters hurts and I did not have enough sleep and I'm hungry. But with the perserverence not found in normal piggys, I managed to finish the 4 km race!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The annoucer piggy said before the race that any piggy who really want to run 8 km can run the 4 km twice!
But you know what?
Theres really piggys who did that.

Well, after the running Sporty Joe Piggy lead all of us in a really cool cooldown (pun intended. haha!)

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The funny thing is, Sporty Joe Piggy is neither muscular or handsome, he is fat with a big pot belly and when he did all those exercises he was so funny, but we are very eager to do it with him!

There was marching and there was jumping and after the cool down none of us want to stop! Everybody was doing it: Ministers piggys, old piggys, young piggys, handsome piggys, pretty piggys... all of us did it as one! It was cool!

And just to tell you the day is still as gloomy...

But the spirit of Terry Fox is with us all!

Then came the Indonesian Idol Piggy who gave us all a very good number. After which some unknown band piggys called Legacy who made us covered our piggy ears.

The raffle draw drew the crowds back as the prizes are great! I was also rooting for myself. Some of the prices includes a 2 person suite at the 4 Seasons Hotel at the Maldives! Goodness that was good.
But of course my piggy luck did not get me the price...
The best price was... you know what? Stay at the 4 Seasons Hotel in Chiang Mai in Thailand as well as a trip in the Orient Express! Like that is better than the third price Maldives.

After the raffle draw you can say the crowds have disperse...

As most of them are right behind me queuing upfor the Lost souvenirs.

During the queuing there's this little piggy in front of me who drew this

reminded me of the olympics. Then a car appeared beside me out of nowhere.

Well, after all this and the souvenir (I got the worse one: The Lanyard) I got pretty wet (and I'm not talking about the gal piggys) and went home.

I am sure going to join next years Terry Fox run. There is so much enthusiasim and fun in there! Bananas and apple galore! (there are stores giving away free apples and bananas which everybody have their fill) People from many countries, Canada, Singapore... There were fan clubs there too (Liverpool, Leeds United). Piggys running united... families together... Terry Fox's spirit is in the air (not the spirit, the spirit of the marathon. Duh)

Well, with that, I leave you with the heaven I call school

Happiness At Work!

Because of the exams I could not work at Piggy Springs for 3 whole weeks. Now that I'm back I feel so happy. I think I got used to the technos and if I don't get technos for a week I'll feel weird. When I am studying I'm actually thinkung of coming back to Piggy Springs to work!
I managed to push (upsell, as Senior Piggy would say) 3 cocktails, Snowball, Double Lamboghini and a Long Island Tea! Do you know what Lamboghini is? Lamboghini (not talking about the brand of the coolest cars in the world) is a cocktail that is lighted up with fire so that it looks like its flaming. Cool huh? Unfortunately, while I was lighting this particular Lamboghini, the lighter broke apart and a gear flew into the drink! I guess I let my trotters get the better of me.

Now, I'm sitting on the living room, watching a show about World War II. It makes even the Hardest Hearted Piggy sad to see the footage of soldiers just dying before they manage to land on enemy shores, not knowing what hit them. Then there's the Jewish Piggys who was liberated from the Nazi's concentration camps... they were skinny and they even used their skin for tattoo as book covers and lamp shades. Goodness this is cruel and inhumane! How can a Piggy do such a thing to another Piggy?

As they always say, conflict starts when 2 different Piggys have 2 different ideals about life. War and disputes start basically the same way, the difference just what extremes they are going to do to realize these ideals of theirs.
So don't hate any other Piggy okay? Piggys Unite!

Well, its one hour to the Terry Fox Run. Hope my trotters don't fail me now. It has been a hard day at work and now I'm ready to shake my wiggles!

Desal H2O!!!!

Hurray!!! We Piggys of Singapore has a new water source: Desalinated water!!! THis new water source is very important for us Singaporean Piggys cause this means we are not going to be so dependent of water on Malaysia our nice neighbour. We want to allow them to enjoy their own water for their very ownselves! We Singapore has reservior water, NEWater, and now, Desal water!!! Jurong Piggys going to be the first to get the Desal H2O.
And Piggys who got bitten by the nasty mosquitos please don't be sad. Hold yourself together and the dengue would just go away. Every pig has its day and its going to be your day! So raise those trotters and be positive!
Piggys whos got AIDS, don't be pessimistic about your life. There's still many years to go! Though you cannot make love with that lovely piggy that you always wanted to ever again, you can still make a difference in the Piggy World. Do a good deed or two, and make those evil piggys count! Live life to the fullest, as far as the trotters can go, that's the spirit!
That's what being a piggy is about: positive input and positive output.

A Piggy Introduction!

Hi everyone! I am a piggy known as Angel Piggy!!! I study in the Nice Piggy Polytechnic. My hobbies includes eating, sleeping and gardening (even though its not convienent with my pair of trotters but I will grow something green that is not grass one day! Sorry to say this though I don't like to eat grass. Grass is for cows) I want to be a landscape architect piggy when I grow up. I live in a typical piggy family with a mom, a dad, a brother and me. I have a mom and her name is Mummy Piggy, a dad named Daddy Piggy, and a brother named Devil Piggy.
He's not evil or anything, but he wants me to call him that. He's a nice piggy.
And he has a nice Piggy girlfriend who's name is Dark Piggy.
She's not evil too. She's just very tanned.

Well, watched CSI today. Wow. There is such a thing known as Chimera. I thought that only appears in World of Warcraft. Unfortnately, it is true. Chimera's do exist (Hold on to your piggy wigglies everyone!) No, they do not have sharp teeth that bite off our piggy heads but they can commit crimes but noone will know about it. In this episode (which just happens to be the season finalle. Thanx Divine Piggy!) Grissom Piggy founds out about this Chimera Rapist Piggy who rapes many Female Piggys.
Chimerism, as it is called, is a genetic disorder that happens to some poor piggy with two or more genetic backgrounds.
Which means they have two or more DNAs.
Which is not good.
This bad Piggy is lucky. He has two male DNAs. Some unlucky Chimera Piggys have one female DNA, one male DNA, which causes them to have a wanker and a pussy at the same time.
Real sad.

Anyways, is there any piggy that is going to the Terry Fox run? Though we Piggys are scared of foxes (I am scared of only one Fox. His name is called Adrian Fox. Hee hee, just joking! ) we should support all the piggys who has cancer. But poor piggy me I have to work on the day before till 3am! Which means I have to run with my trotters to Harbourfront at 7.45am. Which means I may not have time to rest my porkies. But I'll manage, for the good of all cancer piggys out there. I may be tired, but the cancer piggys are more tired. They need our help, the help of the Piggy Community. Please donate generously. For all you nice piggys who want to become runner piggys for the day click here!
I hope all of you will be inspired or at the least be amused by my misadventures and adventures in the years ahead! Every Piggy is welcome! Drop a comment!
