Date: 27 May 2009
Time: 2143 hrs
Place: 313 Somerset, traffic light
(both) We're in the middle of a conversation and looking across the road to what used to be Orchard Emerald (which is now a big hole since they tore it down), waiting to cross the road, when a man in a suit and lugging two laptops comes up to us from behind us and asked where Orchard Point was. I pointed down the road, told him to go to where the OG sign is, and he went on his way.

Indian Expatriate Part 2
Date: 20 May 2009
Time: 1757 hrs
Place: Junction of Bencoolen and Middle Road
(both) We had just crossed the junction when an Indian lady came up from behind us and asked us where the NTUC was. We told her that the one that used to be at IOI Plaza but it's gone and we told her she could go to Rochor which is a bit of a walk and we told her that she could get groceries at Bugis or PoMo's Cold Storage. When we said the selection is limited because it is for people who don't cook she laughed, and she walked off in the direction of Bugis.

Indian Expatriate Part 1
Date: 20 May 2009
Time: 1755 hrs
Place: Junction of Bencoolen and Middle Road
(both) We were at the traffic junction waiting to go over to IOI Plaza, and we were looking at a Chinese sign on a lamp-post, when an Indian man came up to us from behind and asked us with an American accent, "Where is Sim Lim Square?" and we pointed him down towards LaSalle. He's probably going to get ripped off...

No chicken
Date: 10 May 2009
Time: 1108 hrs
Place: Killiney Kopitiam at PoMo (previously Paradiz Shopping Centre)
(both) We're eating laksa at the Killiney Kopitiam when a fifty-something grey haired lady in blue jeans bermudas and a black striped top, wearing pearl earrings, asked us if the laksa was any good. We said it was ok and she asked what were the ingredients. So we started listing the fish cake, cockles, bean sprouts, etc. and then she asked "Got chicken?" and we said no. Subsequently, she didn't buy it.

BYO Blur
Date: 03 May 2009
Time: 1335 hrs
Place: By the pool
(both) We're sitting at the poolside and minding our own business, reading a book or working on cross-stitch, when we heard a voice saying "Excuse me!" and we looked up and saw and Indian man with slicked back hair and a guitar, wearing t-shirt and jeans and carrying a bottle of wine, and he asked us how to get to the eleventh floor. So we asked him which tower and he said the unit number is 11-21 and we told him go to Tower C by going back to the lift lobby area and heading to the comm panel on the left to call his friends.
