Founders' Mystery?

fmd_good Founders’ Memorial

I went to this massive new building, all gleaming white marble and soaring ceilings. It was…intense. So much history crammed into one space. I wandered around for ages, reading plaques, looking at… more

Sounds like the usual Singaporean "mystery" – probably just unfinished renovations or some high-level VIP area they aren't ready to open yet. Government projects, am I right? They love their secrecy. Don't sweat it; you probably didn't miss anything earth-shattering. Unless it was a secret underground durian farm… then you'd really be missing out.

Camwood Park Mysteries?

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!
