'First dates without first-class prices: What did you do besides eat and caffeinate?'
SINGAPORE: When one Redditor turned to the internet for advice on arranging a budget-friendly first date in Singapore, he probably wasn't thinking of cemetery strolls and animal healing to come up, but these were exactly what came up. In a post that rapidly collected responses, the user wrote: 'Besides eating and coffee, what's the most fun first date that you had in Singapore? Looking for activities that preferably won't cost money or cost very little, and can get to know each other better. I can think of park/beach walks, but the weather recently is so unpredictable, either super-hot or super heavy rain.' The platform community didn't fail to surprise. A combination of romance, comicality, wit, and pragmatism poured in, depicting an astonishingly delightful image of what dating can look like on a shoestring budget in the Lion City. Talking life among the dead? One of the most eyebrow-raising recommendations was dull yet extraordinarily poetic: 'Go cemetery to talk about life.' While not the average rom-com situation, there's something irrefutably profound about contemplating one's existence while sauntering among gravestones. Scary and unnerving? Maybe. But unforgettable? Definitely. See also Age matters during CNY Culture, air-con, and free admission For those who wish their dates to be slightly more conservative (and less eerie), museums were the top suggestion. 'A museum date? Like the National Gallery or National Museum, which should be free for locals.' It's a win-win — good conversation starters, a break from the heat, and zero entrance fee for Singaporeans. Additionally, you get to amaze your date with art evaluations, or at least, your best effort at one. More than just monkeys Another happy-go-lucky response came from a user who advocated for the Singapore Zoo as an entertaining and guaranteed choice: 'I like zoo! Because 1) Talk about animals, 2) Talk about anything, 3) Walk non-stop, 4) If hate each other, can just look at animals.' It's an unexpectedly strategic idea—sufficient walking, natural chat starters, and an elegant way to sidestep awkward stillness. Worst case, you bond over a shared love for alligators. A perspective on dating itself Some users reflected on the character of first dates in general. 'It's not about what you do on a date, it's about the person you are with. Even the most boring activities can be enjoyable.' This is a reminder that connection outdoes location and it hit a nerve with many. After all, the most fruitful first dates often depend less on the plan and more on the person one is with. Coffee, but make it strategic Nonetheless, the tried-and-tested coffee date got its portion of love, specifically from users who see it as both low on pressure and logistically shrewd. 'First date should always be over coffee, get to know a person first. If it's good, go out on park walks. If it's bad, you can 'escape' easy.' With Singapore's café culture booming, it's hard to go wrong with this scenario. Sunsets and snacks on rooftops Then, some provided full-on date schedules, like this picturesque recommendation: 'Buy a few snacks and drinks from 7-11… Go to Esplanade rooftop or Marina Barrage at blue hour (usually 6–7:30 p.m.)… Should be quiet and comfortable enough for conversations.' See also Ageless beauty: 80-year-old shines in Miss Universe pageant A sunset, a view, and a mini picnic—all for the of a price of a Slurpee and a pack of Pocky? That's dating done right. So, whether you're scheduling a first date or just attempting to revive an old spark but have no intention of emptying your wallet, Singaporeans know how to take advantage of their city. From graveyards to towering rooftops, the message is strong — great dates don't have to come with a fee, just a little imagination and the right company.

Dan Rivera: New England Paranormal Investigator Dies 'Under Suspicious Circumstances' During 'Haunted' Annabelle Tour
A New England-based paranormal investigator died over the weekend while on tour with the infamous "Annabelle" doll that featured in "The Conjuring" horror movie franchise. Dan Rivera, of Bridgeport, Connecticut - the senior lead investigator of the New England Society for Psychic Research's (NESPR) - died suddenly at age 54 on Sunday, according to NESPR. He was on tour for an event showcasing Annabelle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, at the time, but it is not yet clear how he died. Rivera's Cause of Death Unknown, Died Under Suspicious Circumstances "Dan was not only a vital part of our team for over a decade, but also a deeply compassionate, loyal, and dedicated friend," NESPR wrote in a statement Tuesday night. Rivera's cause of death is still being determined by the local coroner's office, but he is not believed to have died under suspicious circumstances. The coroner's office told the newspaper he was found alone in his hotel room. The Annabelle Tour As reported by Mass Live, Rivera was a helping lead at a sold-out event in Gettysburg on Saturday, the newspaper reported, showcasing Annabelle to attendees. The event was part of the nationwide "Devils on the Run" tour in which NESPR members were sharing the doll with fans. "Experience a chilling night of paranormal history as the infamous Annabelle doll visits Gettysburg's Haunted Orphanage," read the description of the event, which allowed visitors to view the real Annabelle doll and other haunted artifacts. The Connecticut-based paranormal society doesn't know "what the future of NESPR will look like without Dan," but plans to move forward with the other events it previously scheduled for later in the year, NESPR said Tuesday. "We believe with all our hearts that Dan would have wanted the work to continue — bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and honoring the memory of Ed & Lorraine Warren," NESPR wrote. "We will carry his spirit with us in everything we do." What is NESPR? NESPR was founded by controversial, self-proclaimed demon-hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren. The late couple are the main characters in "The Conjuring" movie series and were Annabelle's caretakers. The Warrens were called in to investigate the antique doll in 1968 after a student nurse — who'd received Annabelle as a gift — noticed "strange occurrences" involving the doll, according to NESPR's website. A medium later told the student and her roommate that the toy doll was possessed by a young girl named Annabelle. The two women tried to appease Annabelle, but the doll responded only with "maliciousness and violent intent," according to NESPR's website. The Warrens eventually took Annabelle to their Monroe, Connecticut, occult museum and put her in a glass box "to contain the evil spirited entity." The doll was showcased there for decades until the museum closed in 2019 due to zoning issues. NESPR members have remained Annabelle's keepers since that time.
