Yes you can get there by foot

Date: 23 Dec 2010
Time: 2031 hrs
Place: Little India MRT Station exit

I am jogging with headphones plugged into my ears and obviously trying to move steadily when, just outside of the Little India MRT station exit, a skinny, young, Indian woman wearing a black dress and with blonde hair, smoking a cigarette, comes right up to me and asks where KK hospital is. I jog on the spot and point to the left telling her it's where you can see the blue lights (and the big sign) and then she asks whether she can walk from here. I told her yes and jogged off, and she still seemed unconvinced as I left.

Lost and found re-ward?

Date: 08 Dec 2010
Time: 1040hrs
Place: National University Hospital

I was on my way from the A&E building to the foodcourt when an auntie and uncle asked me in Chinese whether this is the main building. I looked at the signs and told them yes. Then I asked them where they were going and they said Ward 62 and I found a sign for a Wards 20 to 63 and pointed them that way.
