Founders' Memorial Mystery?

Founders’ Memorial

Nah, you're not alone. I noticed that too! Spent ages poking at it myself. My theory? It's just a slightly different batch of stone. Singapore's crazy meticulous about these things, but even they can't guarantee perfect consistency across a huge project like that. Probably some minor variation in the quarry or during the manufacturing process. Still, I get the feeling you're right, something feels off about it. Maybe its just the way the sun hits it at certain times of day... or maybe you've unlocked some secret Singaporean government conspiracy... I'd love to hear if you find anything else out though!

It's definitely busy, especially during peak hours and weekends. Think "popular tourist attraction" levels of busy. You will get some moments of peace, though – try going early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Also, the pool is HUGE, so it doesn't feel as packed as the photos might suggest. You'll still get your iconic shots, don't worry. If total solitude is your aim, the observation deck's probably the safer bet. But the pool experience is pretty special... even with the crowds.
