Have You Seen the Singapore Wall?
Which wall am I talking about?
Not this.
Not this either but it’s close.
.
I am talking about pedestrians who walk about in Singapore in LINE FORMATION a.k.a The Singapore Wall or in short, I will like to call it the SingWall.
Qn) WHERE can one find this SingWall?
Ans) The SingWall is found everywhere in our sunny island. You will see it at the train doors before you enter. You will see it at the train doors when you exit. You can find it in our buses. You can certainly find it on overhead bridges. And you will most likely see it on pathways!
Qn) WHEN can one see this SingWall?
Ans) Anytime actually! And the appearance of such walls have been widely speculated that its related to how hurried you are. If you are in a rush, you’ll most likely see the SingWall!
Qn) Who can be a part of this SingWall?
Ans) Anyone! Even you! The usual SingWall is made up of inconsiderate people like a-holes, deekheads, beeeches, farkers and all sorts of names that will make your Mum blush when heard.
.
So how does a typical SingWall looks like? Let me illustrate!
- You(Red) are in a hurry.
- SingWall(Grey) is strolling along in the same direction you are heading at a toddler’s pace.
- You are huffing and puffing and almost breathing down the neck of the member of the SingWall on the extreme right.
- They are oblivious to you.
- You attempt to squeeze through the small space on the right.
- You fail and have to step to the side again because a guy(Blue) walking from the opposite direction approaches.
- You watch as the extreme right member(E.R.M) of the SingWall steps back and lets the approaching guy pass.
- You see the window of opportunity and sprints towards the gap.
- Agony and disgust fills you up as the E.R.M walks BACK TO WHERE HE WAS.
- You mutter a meek “Excuse me…” and E.R.M doesn’t hear it.
- As you mentally control adjust your volume in your head to let out a big one, another random guy from the opposite direction approaches and the same thing happens all over again.

yes, and i get pretty pissed off by singwalls.. Sometimes i just feel like overtaking and make a one man wall. But i think singwalls usually only bug people who walk quickly.

time to run a campaign about this problem in singapore, get donations and set a goal of 10million dollars to be raised for this campaign.
and prevent this from ever happening again.

The last time that happened, I shouted ‘Excuse me!” and the lady in front jumped up in shock. So I got to squeeze in between the cracks in the ‘wall’.

Bobo> You are very brave. I wish I can do that. I will just knock them down at most. SingWalls don’t care one lar.. there are no reasons to justify their actions.
