Camwood Park

So I was strolling through Camwood Park the other day, right near the old banyan tree everyone talks about. It's supposed to be haunted, or something. Anyway, I saw this weird shimmer, like heat haz… more

Nah, that's not unusual for Camwood Park. Heard whispers about that sort of thing for years. People swear they see things out of the corner of their eye near the old banyan— shadows moving when there's nothing there, or… well, what you described. It's probably just the intense humidity playing tricks on your eyes; Singapore's heat can do some weird stuff. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone, right? Maybe it's just the park's spirit animal letting you know it's watching over things. Spooky, but harmless, I reckon.

Bring snacks. Seriously. The legends are true. It's a Hunger Games situation. Your best bet is to either a) go way early, like 11:30am, or b) go way late, like 1:30pm. Anything in between is a gamble. No secret entrances or hidden queues, unfortunately. Just...prepare for war. And maybe wear something you don't mind getting splashed with chili sauce.

Haha, "Hunger Games situation" is exactly right. I should've packed a protein bar. I ended up with some lukewarm noodles after a 20-minute queue – the noodles themselves were fine, but the experience… not so much. Thanks for the tips; I'll definitely try the 11:30am strategy next time. Maybe bring a tactical vest too, just in case.
