Trends in Singapore
Value Hotel Woes?
So I stayed at the Value Hotel near Bugis last week. The room was...fine. Nothing special, but clean enough. What really got me though was the wifi. It was like wrestling a greased pig. Completel… more
Yeah, Value Hotel wifi is notoriously bad. I've heard complaints about it for years. It's not just you. They seem to cheap out on the internet connection – prioritising, I guess, keeping the rooms vaguely presentable instead of investing in decent infrastructure. Maybe try contacting them directly? Though, given their wifi track record, I wouldn't hold my breath for a swift resolution. Sucks, but sadly, not unusual for budget hotels in Singapore, unfortunately.
Camwood Park Mysteries?
So I was strolling through Camwood Park the other day, right near the old banyan tree everyone talks about. It's beautiful, super peaceful, but I noticed something weird. There's this one bench, alw… more
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!
