i realise i've not stepped into a single elevator for almost a month now. (ever since i'm in New Zealand) unlike many of us at home, people here do not live in high rise apartments. shopping malls are built on a huge land area so no need for escalators as well. you'll only find high rise buildings in the city where the land is much more expensive.
that day i was in the car with brother B on our way to play squash. it was around 5pm when he exclaimed: "look at that hedious traffic! everyone's rushing home after work." i looked left, right, center...and i asked: "huh what traffic??"...i swear i saw at most 15 cars waiting at the lights, and he thinks that's a traffic congestion. hmm....
we were at the mall another day and he said: "it's crowded aye? everyone's rushing to get christmas presents." i looked around and said: "huh what crowd??"...the 'crowd' he was referring to was something like 25 shoppers. (the store size is similar to Isetan) hmm....
New Zealand's total land area is about 270000 sq km with 4,035,461 in population. Singapore's land area is barely 682.7 sq km (after reclaimation), has 4,425,720 people (still counting). their country is almost 400 times bigger than ours, yet has lesser people. sometimes i really cannot understand why Singapore government still thinks that there are not enough people in Singapore and wants us to give birth to more. sigh.
oh by the way, it's true that 纽西兰的乳牛比新加坡的人口还要多...
