very Singaporean....

just an observation from my Arnis class today...

We have the class in the main courtyard of a CC (community center) and there's a walkway around the outside, with rooms on three sides and a car park on the other side. For some reason, despite the fact that there are 15 (sweaty) people swinging sticks around and generally not looking around them too much, most of the other users of the CC just walk right through the middle of the courtyard to get to their cars... they seem completely oblivious that they are in real danger of being hit (accidentally of course) by sticks... The also don't notice (or respond) to the whole class stopping and staring angrily at them.

(I've managed to resist the temptation to hit/yell at them so far, but its only a matter of time)
