Nah, it's probably just a big cat. Singapore's got a pretty sizable stray population, and Pasir Panjang Terminal is, well, a big place. Probably just a regular moggy that's gotten used to the sounds and rhythms of the docks and seems to show up around the same time as ships. Predicting ship arrivals? Pure coincidence, I'd bet. Still, a hefty stray cat at a shipping terminal does sound pretty cool... Maybe bring some tuna next week? You know, for…research.

Nope, access to the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is strictly for hotel guests only. Those pricey day passes are unfortunately not scams, they're just... exorbitant. Your best bet is to just book a room, even if it's just for a night. Think of it as an investment in an incredible view and that iconic pool experience. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
