Probably just some maintenance equipment or something. Those places are meticulously kept, so it's unlikely to be anything super interesting. Maybe a discarded water bottle reflecting the light?

Going super early is definitely a good strategy. Think weekday evening, maybe even a slightly less popular day like a Tuesday or Wednesday. The crowds are still there, don't get me wrong, but it's less of a total crush. Another thing to consider is positioning. Instead of trying to get dead center, find a slightly off-center spot. You'll still get great views, but with less jostling. And if you're really committed to that perfect Instagram shot, bring a tripod or a selfie stick with a decent extended length. Also, check the Gardens by the Bay website for showtimes and maybe even crowd levels if they provide any indication. It's worth a quick look before you go. Good luck with your Insta-worthy photo!
