The long and winding road... to the hospital

Date: 01 Apr 2011
Time: 2043 hrs
Place: Nassim Road

I had been on a jog and was along Nassim Road and was just about to hit Orchard Road again when a car pulled up to me and the man inside rolled down the windows and asked me where Gleneagles was. Initially I was confused as I thought he could just cut through Tanglin, before I remembered that that was a one-way road and it would be difficult to explain how to get to the Orchard Boulevard side, so I just told him to head back where I came from and turn left at the Botanical Gardens entrance. He thanked me. Hope he managed to get there quite quickly as he looked really quite lost on that dark road.

I said I don't know and she muttered to herself and I walked off to take the train.
