Fountain of annoyance

Turn up the vol­ume. Noisy right?

The sounds of water foun­tains are sup­posed to engen­der feel­ings of calm and seren­ity. Not the one in the base­ment of Raf­fles City, though.

While eat­ing at a foun­tain­side restau­rant there, I realised that the damned foun­tain there was caus­ing the most annoy­ing racket — much like when your neighbour’s get­ting their house ren­o­vated. A bit dif­fi­cult to eat.

    The foun­tain ALONE is the rea­son I never eat at that restaurant.

    Every time the water fall back onto ground, your head got the “pek chek” feel­ing right?
    Lucky they did not have a world record indoor-type foun­tain of wealth. That one con­firm migraine big time. kekeke…

    If you hate it so much, then don’t eat there. Nobody force you to select this par­tic­u­lar restau­rant and location.
