We walk fast. And that's good?

Hey Gang

Somewhat Singapore(ans) is kinda fu*ked in the head in terms of being the best or top for any kind of shit that is worth competing. Or should I say, not worth competing.




For instance, a study by the British Council...who apparently has too much time in their hands found out that Singaporeans are the fastest walkers in the world.

Yes, we walked fast.
So the FU*K what?
I mean, seriously. So what?



Well, the Brit Council thinks people walking speed is a reliable measure of the pace of life in the city. I may not have a degree in Human Geography or Sociology, but I know when someone tries to BS just to sound clever.



You walk fast because you don't want to be late. You don't want to pay unnecessary ERPs. You walk fast because you don't want to miss the train. Or you have to take that free Today newspaper. Or you have to take a shit. Or you want to get away from kids asking for donations.

Point being,
People walk fast does not mean it is a reflection of the pace of our city life.

City Life sucks by the way.
And everyone knows SPEED KILLS.

So, Singapore(ans).
Don't be proud or should I say, take pride in some bogus achievement.

We ain't the friendliest or happiest people.
Time to face the real fact, Fastwalkers.

Enjoi.
