ChatGPT prompt: Write a rhyming poem about NTU Singapore that shares its best kept secrets. The poem should not contain fictitious scenarios.
Come close, dear friends, I have a tale to share,
About NTU, a school beyond compare,
With secrets hidden deep within its walls,
That not everyone knows, but everyone recalls.
Did you know there’s a slide at The Hive,
For those who need to destress and thrive,
It’s a fun way to let go of your woes,
And slide down with glee, from your head to your toes.
ChatGPT prompt: Write a humorous 7-line poem in Singlish about the North Spine Plaza at NTU Singapore. Your account must be truthful.
Wah, North Spine Plaza so big and happening,
Got many kopitiam for us to makan.
Can chill at the amphitheater and watch people jalan jalan,
Or go buy books at the Popular and study until sian.
The seating area very power, can charge phone and laptop also,
But don’t forget to bring your own water bottle or kena scolded by eco-heroes.
North Spine Plaza, really shiok ah, don’t play play, you know!
ChatGPT prompt: Write a humorous 6-line verse about NTU Singapore’s Yunnan Garden that shares facts about the garden.
At Yunnan Garden, a sight to see,

But watch out for the feisty geese,
Or they’ll chase you with such great ease.
In this garden, do take care,
Or else you’ll end up quite the scare!
