Wood Lands!

Date: 12 Aug 2010
Time: 1006 hrs
Place: Bras Basah MRT station

A balding, white haired, fat Indian man in a light blue flowered shirt and jeans and sandals just got out of the train that was heading towards Dhoby Ghaut and just before the escalator came straight to me and asked me "b??????? WOODLANDS!" and I went "huh?" and he repeated himself and then I realised he wanted to know how to get to Woodlands. So I went to the signboard and showed him that he needed to get off at the next stop Dhoby Ghaut and change to the red line and he said "oh!" and thanked me and walked off back to the platform to wait for the next train.

Place: ION orchard

Plugged in to my headphones, I'm at the Orchard MRT just walking into ION near the Swatch shop and Uniqlo, when an old man, carrying a lot of shopping bags, with grey, short hair, cubby, wearing a white t-shirt and shorts, comes up to me and asked me, excuse me where is the Takashimaya? I directed him through the MRT and he thanked me and walked off with his wife, also carrying a lot of shopping bags.
