Time: 1930 hrs
Place: Outside SRT, Mohd Sultan
Still standing outside the SRT when a small Mercedes SUV pulls up and an old lady in an elegant black dress alights and asked me where the Gallery Hotel was so I walked with her down to the corner to try to point out the hotel to her but we couldn't see it from there so I told her which direction to go generally (the Mohd Sultan Road stretch) and she got back into her car and drove off with the driver.

'opelessly lost
Date: 25 Sep 2008
Time: 1926 hrs
Place: Outside SRT, Mohd Sultan
I'm waiting outside SRT and just basically looking across the road when an Indian guy in a red short sleeved shirt and jeans, quite tall, and asks me "Excuse me where is Arrys? Arry?" and I realise after a while that he was talking about "Harry's" and I didn't know where exactly it was so I pointed him down towards the canal where most of the restaurants were and send him on his way.

A family that walks together...
Date: 21 Sep 2008
Time: 1520 hrs
Place: Across the road from Paradiz Shopping Centre, Selegie Road
I'm trying to cross the road at the Mr Bean when to my left this Indian lady comes up to me and asks me "Which way to Little India?" and it turns out she was with her husband and her son (I can just imagine both the men refusing to ask for directions) and they were all in jeans and t-shirt (she was with her cap backwards). So I told her to walk all the way down Selegie Road, and that they should reach the start of Little India. She asked where there were restaurants with Indian food and I asked her if she preferred North Indian or South Indian food and I told her for South Indian she could go to the Apollo Banana Leaf restaurant.

It's a MUJI!
Date: 18 Sep 2008
Time: 2105 hrs
Place: Plaza Singapura Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe
(both) We're sitting having dinner after having watched a screening of "My Magic", when we start to notice these two girls at the nearby table gesticulating at us and talking quite excitedly, when we realise that they were discussing the portable bag hook that helps you hang your handbag over the table's edge that we were using. Finally one of them comes over to ask, in Mandarin, where we got it from and we told her we got it from Muji.
