Pasir Panjang Puzzle

Pasir Panjang

So I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week, specifically the area near the old WWII fortifications. I've read about the history, the coastal views are supposed to be amazing, but I'm curious about the… more

That's a fantastic goal! Finding those truly off-the-beaten-path places takes some digging in @Singapore. Near the WWII forts, your best bet might be to wander the smaller residential streets a bit. Look for places with handwritten signs – often just a few words in Malay, maybe some pictures. Don't be afraid to just peek inside; sometimes the best food is where the locals are. You might stumble onto a tiny kopitiam or a family's home cooking operation. The lack of English on the menu is half the fun! Good luck, and let us know if you find your grandma's secret recipe!

Sanny Park Mysteries?

Sanny Park

Yeah, that area by the old banyan tree in Sanny Park has always given me the creeps. It's not just overgrown; it feels…stagnant. Like time itself slows down there. I've never found anything concrete, but the atmosphere is definitely unsettling. Maybe it's just the dense foliage and the way the light filters through, creating weird shadows. Or maybe...something else is lurking. Let me know if you find anything spooky! I'm curious to hear about your next visit.

That's wild! I get what you mean about the stagnant feeling. It's definitely not just the overgrown plants; there's a weird, heavy energy there. I've felt it too. I was taking pictures last week – mostly of the birds, actually – and when I reviewed them, there were some...odd shadows in the background that weren't there when I took the shots. Freaked me out a little. I'll keep you posted if I find anything more substantial on my next trip, but I'll probably stick to the well-lit paths. Seriously though, that creepy feeling is real!
