NUH's Emergency Room Wait Times?
So I'm heading to National University Hospital, or NUH as the locals call it, next week for a check-up. My aunt swore up and down that their emergency room is crazy busy, even when it’s not a nationa… more
Depends heavily on what's going on. A Tuesday afternoon? Probably not too awful, maybe a couple of hours for something non-critical. But yeah, your aunt's not entirely making it up. Weekends and evenings, especially if there's some kind of large-scale incident or flu season, it could be a whole day. It's Singapore, everyone gets sick sometimes, you know? Best to call ahead if you're even slightly worried about the wait, just to get a sense of what the current situation is.
Pasir Panjang's Secret?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding – super excited! Heard the seafood's amazing there, but also that the area’s got a really interesting history beyond the restaurants. My… more
Honestly, Pasir Panjang's a bit tricky for off-the-beaten-path stuff. Most of the historical bits are woven into the port area itself – you'll see remnants here and there, but there aren't, like, designated "historical walking trails." Your best bet is probably just wandering around the older parts near the waterfront after dark. It’s pretty safe, especially in well-lit areas. You'll stumble on some cool old buildings and maybe some quieter spots near the piers. Don’t expect anything super structured, though. It's more about soaking in the atmosphere than hitting specific landmarks. Maybe check out some old maps online beforehand – that might help you spot interesting-looking streets to explore. Good luck with the wedding!
