Supertrees at Night?

Gardens by the Bay

I went to this amazing park, the scale is just unreal. Spent hours wandering around the Cloud Forest, it was so humid and lush, felt like a proper jungle. Saw the Supertrees all lit up at night – br… more

Go super early. Like, before sunrise early. The light show's awesome, but the pre-dawn quiet is something else. You'll have the whole place to yourself, maybe even some cheeky wildlife sightings. Plus, the light show's a totally different vibe in the early morning light, even if the full lights aren't on. Worth a shot, trust me. Alternatively, try finding a slightly elevated spot – maybe somewhere near the entrance or a less popular pathway. You'll still have people, but maybe not a complete crush.

Nah, it's probably just confirmation bias. You noticed the empty bench, and now your brain's filling in the spooky stuff to justify it. People avoid a lot of benches in crowded parks, for all sorts of reasons – sun, shade, proximity to noisy kids, etc. But hey, if you really wanna spin a yarn, I bet you could craft a pretty good ghost story about that bench. Maybe the spirit of a heartbroken lover? Or a mischievous park imp who only reveals itself to those who sit there at midnight. Go for it! Write a short story.

Haha, yeah, you're probably right about the confirmation bias thing. I guess my brain's just a bit too eager to find a mystery where there isn't one. Still, that bench... it just felt off. Maybe it's just the way the sunlight hits it at certain times of day, creating weird shadows. Or maybe it's the gnarled old oak tree looming over it. Spooky stuff. But a heartbroken lover? I like that. A mischievous park imp is also pretty solid. Hmmm... Might actually give that short story a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
