If there's a meaning to 'walking quickly', what is it?

While walking back from work on Friday... or is it today? ... forgot.. but anyway, Jin said something that reminded me of our Singapore trip.

When I stepped into the MRT station in Singapore, I noticed something. It was the people there. If I remembered correctly, we were in the station during the peak after working hours where everyone is walking in and out to get back to their home. They were walking really fast! All of them Singaporean were like busy little ants, caring their briefcases and bags, speeding across the hallway, walking up the escalator. Every one of them. The speed made me feel dizzy for a minute.... that's how fast they were all moving.

There's no way I can see such scene in Malaysia. People seem to be walking extra slow in Malaysia compared to Singaporean. Sometimes when I get stuck walking behind a bunch of slow pokes, I feel annoyed. It's like being in a traffic jam when you are rushing to get some where. I always try to overtake them and try to avoid walking behind of people.

I don't know why but I like to walk quickly going to and from work (and to anywhere else as a matter of fact). I don't like taking my own sweet time walking to one place to another. I find it such a waste of time to just wonder while walking. A lot...and I really mean a lot... of people say I walk really fast. A, Jo and LF from work says "Wah, I saw you from a far. But so hard to catch up with you, you walk so fast!". Sometimes when I'm out shopping with Zhong, he’ll ask “Why are we walking so fast?”. I remembered once Crabman said me and Jin walk really fast also.

But I don't know la... Why do I prefer to walk quickly? Am I afraid of something? Does this mean I'm impatient? Are Singaporeans impatient (to get back home) too? Or do I enjoy the quick life? The fast track? Or is my mind telling to burn calories by fast walk?

Crabman had a really idiotic and horny theory about walking quickly. He compared me and HY and said “HY have got bigger boobs, hence she needs more energy to walk, smaller boobs people (yes referring to me) walk faster because they have less to carry”. So, if I had bigger boobies I would walk slower? No I don’t think so. I would get a better support bra.

But then again, it’s not like I walk super quick all the time. I still do love the occasional stroll along the park, those lazy walks shopping mall and those ‘I’m just too tired to walk’ walk where I just drag my feet or just walk like a gangster ‘big brother’.

If there's a meaning to 'walking quickly', what is it?

its their lifestyle most probably...

singapore is super competitive when it comes to work,and the pressure to perform is tremendous.my cousin quitted his 16K ibm job because of pressure.nows he's into sales hehhahha

so they don have time to dilly-dally like malaysians.time is money,pleasure perhaps to get home n do their stuff? they seldom waste time...not like "some" malaysians

Jayelle: LOL! I have actually thought about it... if one have big boobies... and she walks fast... it would be like giggling up and down rite... so she walks slower? This stuff I'll never know unless i have implants or something.

BC: Not really lo. I don't think it's about the pressure. (and IBM mmg like that one la...any large IT org also like that one) I think Malaysians are much lazier compared to Singaporeans. They are more productive.
