Singapore Bayrun and "graciousness"

Rained the whole of Saturday... luckily it din rained on Sunday Morning which is the date of the Singapore Bay Run 08

But the rain did turned the Padang into "Mudang". and to think i even wore my new SAF shoes. Ah well, SAF shoes heck care haha...

Heard the PM wanted Singapore to be more gracious when we host the 2010 Youth Olympics... i think hard la, the news mentioned an very good example, before the people exit frm MRT, people already rushed in. Well sometimes can't blame them, if they dun squeeze, they might not get in and will be late for work... the next not so crowded train might be 3-4 trains later...Ah singaporeans have a heck of "calculating" everything to the finest details... like wat time they need to leave home so that they will be just on time for work... haha..

Well the run today also like tat... Got alot of walkers who just stand abreast of each other and blocked the runners(and in the center of the lane somemore, they are everywhere. Guys, Gals ). As a result many runners have to do alot of "direction change" so that they wun run into any of these grps...Is this a gracious behavior? I hav nothing against walkers, if they are tired, walk it's normal. but if u are walking i think it's basic courtesy to move to the side of the road so that others who wan to run can run. Isn't it better? it's not a catwalk...

Instead of this formation

Why not this? (at least u wun block ppl who wan to run)
