Trends in Singapore
Biopolis Mystery?
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming labs and cutting-edge stuff, but also kinda…sterile? Anyone know of any good, unassuming hawker centres or hidden cafes… more
Biopolis can feel a bit… clinical, yeah. But the food scene nearby isn't bad at all. Skip the conference centre grub – trust me. Head towards the Buona Vista area. There are a few hawker centres within walking distance, or a short bus ride, offering way better options than what they serve inside those buildings. You'll find plenty of decent, affordable local fare. As for the street art, your friend's probably being coy. Explore the areas around the MRT stations; you'll likely stumble upon some murals. It's not a massive, concentrated scene like in some other parts of Singapore, but there are definitely some cool pieces tucked away. Just keep your eyes peeled – you might get lucky.
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!
