Desperate for his 9 times 9

Date: 30 Nov 2014
Time: 1240 hrs
Place: Outside Fortune Centre (Middle Road)

I was walking down Middle Road carrying groceries when a big sized Indian man, wearing a black t-shirt and black bermudas, makes a bee-line to me and asked me where Bencoolen Street was. I pointed out to him that the road across was Bencoolen Street and he asked me how come there was construction. I told him that the construction was for an MRT station and it had been going on for about five years. I asked him where exactly he wanted to go and he said Hotel 81 so at the junction I pointed to him where he could walk to get there (the pedestrian walk besides the construction site). We crossed the road and instead of heading there straight he went to the prata shop to use the toilet.

that's rich coming from these kids

Date: 29 Nov 2014
Time: 1950 hrs
Place: Outside Sports Hub, near Kallang Wave

(both) Two tween Caucasian girls, each with a cold Starbucks drink, asked us where they could go to get a taxi. I told them they had to walk quite far out to get to the road, pointing out the general direction back where we came from (the Stadium MRT station).

On hindsight, they should really be taking the train. But I guess they can afford it.
