[First you see the horde. Then you see the kiasu-ism.]

I withnessed the ugly side of Singaporeans today. Indeed. Went to catch the last day of the 2006 Fireworks Festival by Team France at Esplanade today. Was there at approximately 5.30pm and already the number of people thronging the riverside and along the highway were pretty shocking. Tried to find a good spot to catch the fireworks but there was simply too many tripod stands around. What the hell's with people who set up their stand and completely obstruct the seats while seating a distance away and obstructing other seats. Damn tards.

Was looking for seats right up to 7.30pm before finally settling on a rocky area somewhere along the river. By then, the throng had been reinforced to mob-size. There were also loads of people seating infront, behind and along our seating ground to the point that the human traffic completely stopped moving at one point. It was 8.15pm and by then, the crowd had became a horde. Tempers were raising and so were voices. It was a really tense situation down there. People started jeering and cursing and there was hints of a riot even. When the display finally started, it was basically a ~40cm diameter of breathing space for every person.
The above photo was taken when 2 morons jumped onto the electrical box thingaling to get a better view, obstructing the views of a few hundred pissed people. Yep, such friendliness eh?
And dun even get me started about the situation when the display ended. A complete nuthouse if you ask me.

On another note. I was counting the presents recieved for my birthday about a month or so ago and found out that i recieved the grand total of 1 present(s). Yep, that's inclusive of family. I'm so loved huh? Anyways, the only present was from Esther. Therefore, I declare Esther to be my bestest fren from now on. Lol~ I'm such a materialistic person...
