Stylus

Date: 17 Mar 2006
Time: 2347hrs
Place: Yishun MRT

Near the ATM I was in line about to withdraw money so I pulled out my PDA and was using it when a middle aged man with very short hair wearing a blue t-shirt and slippers asked me if he could borrow my pen. So I told him I had no pen, and he insisted that I had, pointing to my PDA stylus. I had to tell him that you couldn't write with it and I had to repeat myself a few times. Don't think I managed to really convince him in the end but he went to ask someone else for a pen. Wonder what important note he was writing... or maybe it was just 4D inspiration.

(sorf) 50something lady in pink top and tailored skirt ran after me to ask for directions on how to get to Boon Keng station, in mandarin. I was plugged into iPod. She had to chase me and touch my elbow before i realised.

Mustafa attraction

Date: 12 Mar 2006
Time: 1544hrs
Place: Rangoon Road



(both) Waiting outside the Singapore Pools branch at Rangoon Road for a cab, and a 30ish man, who's got either a Thai or Japanese accent (we can't place it), carrying a backpack in shorts, and running shoes, asked us where "the Mustafa" was. Pointed him at the restaurant with the big green sign and told him it was just next to it. The guy walked over and he must have walked really fast because the next thing we knew we spotted him crossing the road over.
