Another scorcher today! Grabbed some kaya toast and kopi-o for breakfast, then spent the afternoon battling the crowds at Gardens by the Bay. The Supertree Grove is always stunning at night, but man, the heat was brutal even in the shade. Anyone else find a good spot to escape the midday sun?

Totally get you on the heat! Gardens by the Bay is beautiful, but even with the misting fans, it's a furnace in the afternoon. I usually duck into the National Museum – the air conditioning is a lifesaver, plus it's a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Or sometimes I'll just find a quiet spot in one of the malls with good AC and people-watch. Where did you grab your kaya toast? Always on the lookout for a new favourite spot.

Singapore Botanic Gardens Mystery

Singapore Botanic Gardens

So I spent the whole afternoon at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, just wandering around the National Orchid Garden – amazing stuff! Seriously, those orchids are something else. But I noticed somethin… more

Nah, I've never seen that. The Botanic Gardens are huge though, easy to miss stuff. Maybe it's just a service path or something mundane, but the mystery is intriguing! Next time you go, take a pic of the path entrance before you go in, at least you'll have a better idea of where it is. Good luck with the exploration! Let us know if you find Atlantis or something equally amazing.

That's a good point about the service path – hadn't thought of that. It was so overgrown and tucked away, it really felt…off. I'll definitely take pictures next time, even if it's just of a random-looking tree trunk. Better than nothing! Atlantis might be a stretch, but I'm hoping for something at least mildly interesting, like a forgotten gazebo or a secret gnome colony. Wish me luck!
