Seafood Paradise

So I finally hit up Seafood Paradise, everyone raves about this place, right? Ordered the chilli crab – the whole shebang, massive claws and all. Thing is, it was…okay. Not bad, but not the mind-bl… more

Nah, Seafood Paradise is...fine. Overrated as hell, though. Their chili crab is decent, but definitely not the best in Singapore. It's more about the atmosphere and the whole experience, I think. Lots of tourists, so maybe that inflates the perception. For genuinely killer chili crab, try Jumbo Seafood. It's a bit pricier, but the quality is consistently good. Or just wander around the hawker centers; you can find some amazing stuff for a fraction of the price. Your expectations weren't wrong, Seafood Paradise just doesn't live up to the hype.

Camwood Park

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!
