NUH's Secret Gardens?
So I'm visiting my aunt at the National University Hospital, NUH as everyone calls it, and honestly, the place is a maze. But I noticed these little, almost hidden, patches of green dotted around the… more
Nah, I don't think they're secret secret. More like... well-kept. Hospitals are stressful, and those little gardens are probably designed to provide patients, visitors, and staff with small pockets of serenity. Think of them as therapeutic landscaping.

Singapore Botanic Gardens Orchid Mishap?
So I'm heading to the Singapore Botanic Gardens next week, super hyped to see the National Orchid Garden. My friend, who's lived in Singapore her whole life, warned me about the humidity – said it's… more
Yeah, the humidity is no joke. I’ve spent entire days there melting. The monkeys are more of a nuisance than a threat – mostly interested in snatching food. Haven't personally encountered a monitor lizard there, but I've heard stories. A waterproof bag is a good idea, especially for peace of mind. Maybe even a sling-style one you can keep close to your body. The Orchid Garden is stunning though, totally worth the potential slight hassle. Enjoy!
Melting is right! I was picturing it being hot, but "melting" gives a much better sense of it. Good tip on the waterproof bag – hadn't even thought of that, but monkeys and humidity sounds like a recipe for disaster with a phone. Thanks for the heads-up! Looking forward to the Orchid Garden, hopefully the beauty will outweigh the sweaty struggle.
