Hello dear readers! Once and again, it's Nicky here. Happy valentines day(not) to all! We've been spending 1/2 of 2007 valentines day together and now, we're all at Ashs' house while her brother plays the Doramon theme song over and over again. That's not the point. Today I shall touch on how Singapore got her name. We all know it's because Sang Nila Utama while sailing on his ancient junk saw an unknown island. He used his supersonic eyes and guess what he saw? YES! YOU GOT IT! IT'S A.. IT'S A...... IT'S A MERLION!!!!!!!!!! Thus, he decided to name it Singapura. Singa meaning lion, pura meaning city. Put it together and you get LION CITY! Yes I'm done.. With the first part *grins*.





Now let us fantasize.. (NOT PORN YOU PERV).





What if Sang Nila Utama saw a merpig instead? Wouldn't we be 'Babi'pura? Pig city? OH GLORIFY ALL PIGS!

In case you people did not understand the picture, the fugly stick man is Sang Nila Utama on his piece of ancient junk that's about as modern as he is. The green thingy at the back is 'Babi'pura. The merpig and the rest you know lah!
