Where Can We Get On The Waitlist For This Book?
Yishun is essentially the Florida of Singapore. A whole load of weird and scary things happen there compared to the rest of the country. As such, Yishun has racked up a somewhat negative reputation. Some of the more superstitious Singaporeans have even started calling the place cursed or haunted, including quite a few of my Army buddies.
My younger brother is an aspiring writer. I’m reading his latest manuscript.
Me: “So, the plot is essentially that the SAF [Singapore Armed Forces] has a unit of wizards that act as a rapid-response strike force to fight against ghost pirates and demons in the Straits of Malacca.”
Brother: “Uh-huh.”
Me: “And they’re garrisoned in a fictional ‘Yishun Camp’.”
Brother: “Yup.”
There’s a long pause.
Me: “I’d buy that. A couple hundred wizards camping out in Yishun would explain a lot about the place.”
