Newpaper Big Walk - 10km
wow.. i walked more than 10km this morning.. can't believe i actually persevered and walked the whole distance (no shortcuts whatsoever ok?).
Anyway, i was quite pissed with the organisers.. They are supposed to provide us with mineral water halfway thru the walk. However, when we reached the waterpoint, they ran out of water!!! Then we saw a small crowd at the side nearby the waterpoint and apparently water was (supposedly to be) given out. Therefore my friend and i went over. However, to our disappointment, we heard..
someone said, "it's for casualties"...
another person pointed to the waterpoint said something (think he was trying to show us where's the waterstation, as if we cannot see x_X)
yet another person replied loudly, "there's no more there.. we walked all the way here and you all don't even have water for us?!?!"
by this time, we already walked back to the path.. and a few moments later, i saw that person holding a packet of water (-_-)!!.. i told my friend, we should hv stayed there a little longer and complain, then we could hv gotten some water... and my friend told me this is the situation in Singapore. For instance the time when she worked in a local telcom company, customers hv to complain, complain and complain, then will the company take action and do something. I guess this happens in many situation and that's why we Singaporeans are trained to "complain, complain and complain" and we ended up being complain kings and queens.
p.s.: heard fr my friend b4 the walk that some ppl go for the goodies bag (nt me of cos.. i go cos my friends jio-ed me), but i confirmed otherwise cos the goodies bag s**ks!!
