I still have no idea why forks were stuck into the soil of this potted plant. Saw this outside one of the shophouses at Arab Street, which is fast becoming my new favourite place in Singapore.
Anyone have a clue? Is this part of something superstitious? To keep away the rain?
In case of a spontaneous cake party?
Yeah….you’ve got something there 😉
think it’s a pragmatic solution to discourage birds from “landing”
think it’s just to discourage birds (or other scurrying) animals from entering in the no-fly zone
Why didn’t I think of that?….I think you’re right! 🙂 Singapore is quite superstitious so I immediately thought it must be something of that sort.
nah, it’s actually good that you’re thinking from a creative perspective, like a writer. love your blog!
Thanks so much Conrad 🙂 Do you blog as well? Would love to visit your blog.
nope, haven’t gotten that writing bug. (at least, not yet)
I appreciate you reading though 🙂
Hey that looks quite creepy for some reason…shivers…
Sprouting forks? If it were to deter birds, they wouldn’t need that many would they? Any idea which shop it is?
ya thought it was some kind of superstitious thing at first. It was near where I had the Nasi Padang.
Hey I noticed that you’ve now allowed non WordPress.com emails to post here. Thanks!
Yeah I didn’t realize that non WordPress.com had trouble. Thanks for the feedback that the change in setting worked.
The comments that say it’s to keep birds away make sense.
Personally, though…it seemed like a random moment of public guerrilla art to me.
It could well be Crystal…..definitely got my attention.
