A Singapore AJ Tour Guide's Log

Couple a days ago, I got a call from my best friend in Taiwan that his good buddy will be in Singapore the next few days.

Met B when I got his SMS on Friday. He met me at Chinatown Point. What to do next? Where should I bring him? Well, since we are already in Chinatown, might as well bring him and show him around Chinatown.

Day 1
First stop, SportmanAsia. - Singapore's very own gay apparel superstore. I really haven't been there for a long time and realised that it has moved and expanded. The amount of skimpy tongs, g-string, underwears, swim wears, etc. caught me speechless. It was really really an eye opener. As I will be bringing him for a swim, I suggest that he gets a swimming trunk. My friend finally decided on a branded swimming trunk which to him was rather expensive, but since he will be the only few to own a branded trunk in Taipei, he went ahead with the purchase.

Next, I guided him along Chinatown and showed him where is 10 men's sauna, Absolute, Backstage, Y Club, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and we ended the tour of Chinatown with a visit to Chinatown Food Court. We had Claypot rice which took about half and hour to wait. In the mean time, I bought Cha Kuay Teow and Pangkang Kaya toast with butter. He loves the Kaya toast which they don't have in Taiwan.

After dinner, brought him to One Seven sauna. He felt that the entry price was rather high for a sauna. He told me that most sauna in Taiwan was around 400 ~ 500NTD (S$18 ~ 22) except the a new sauna called Aniki which cost about 800NTD (S$32). We left around midnight and ended a nigt after supper.

Day 2
We met met in Parkway Parade Shopping mall and zoomed right into the food court for lunch. He had fish soup noodle while I had duck rice. After lunch, we headed toward Katong Swimming Pool. He was amazed how many guys with nice bod visits the pool. Some tan under the hot sun while others were in to pool. We did notic there was a particular uncle with baggy, bright yellowish swimming trunks which got translucent when it got wet, walking aorund aimelessly near the toilet entrance. It was a nice lazy afternoon, the sun was hot we chatted under some shade after a swim and watched those with nice gym tonned bod parade around the pool.

We met with another friend and decided to bring my friend to get a taste of our outdoor cruising area. My friend drove us to Tanjong Rhu car park. As we were walking towards the beach passing the construction site, we were stopped by some workers telling us that the way to the beach have been sealed. We have no choice but to turn back. Then we took my Taiwan friend toward the underpass where I showed him where some of the action happen will take place come nightfalls. As it was still daylight, not a soul was found. After which, we headed toward Old Airport Hawker Centre for some local food as it was approaching 5. This time round, I ordered, Nasi Lemak, Ota Ota, Satay while my other friend ordered, Laksa and fried oyster with eggs.

We rested in my place and later proceeded to City hall and then Central Mall trying to locate Zara outlet, which my friend wanted to see as they also have Zara outlet in Taiwan. Unfortunatelly, we weren't able to locate it as I am not an avid shopper. It was later that I found where Zara was located; Ngee Ann City. Leaving Central Mall, we proceed to Maxwell Hawker Centre to meet up with his Singapore friend he met while in Shanghai.

His friend was late and we waited till 11pm when 2 gym bod guys approach our table. His friend took us to "Does Your Mother Know" (DYMK for short). It was my first time back into the clubbing scene. Haven't been into a club for ages. The club which is located opposite the Kerta Ayer Theatre, attracts all the beautiful people; some more beautiful than others. Lots of eye candy gym bods some dressed to kill, while some dressed to thrill. My friend's friend started with about 2 gradually swelled to 10 and I lost count on how many new friends we met. A few guys caught my friend's attention and we had nice time chatting and wild away the time.

We left DYMK with the group and went over to Play. As one of the guy in the group had a place reserved. All eight of us were allowed to cut the queue and enter. Two bottles of champange was open at our table. At 12 midnight, the club was packed to the brim. I felt foreign and yet familiar going back into the club scene after so long. It does feel nice to see beautiful people around having a good time. After a few drinks, I was more relax. The new group of friends were friendly and I got hit by one of the guy which I was totally not interested. There were a couple of really nice looking guys next to our table which caught my friend's attention. Even I was mesmerized by the guys next to us. It was later that the guy my friend was interested came and talked to my friend. It made his day. It was a long day, but I did enjoy myself. We left the club at 2+ and went to Maxwell for some supper and later home for me and my friend, his hotel.

Day 3
I was too tired to climb out of bed this morning. Lazed till 10+. Called my friend to meet at 2+ for a day of shopping. My friend wanted to check out brands like Zara (1st time I heard it). Checked the internet and it is in Ngee Ann City. Brought my friend there and he did manage to buy a couple of items. Walking towards Paragon, we were treated with a nice surprise. Some Swing Band group was performing at the entrance of Paragon. There were also some dancers dancing to the music in front of a large group of Sunday shoppers and pedestrians. Quite an interesting afternoon I must say.

My friend was tired and wanted a massage, so took him to Wang Yang. Later I showed him where is Absolute and we parted ways as he make his way toward Absolute for the foam party. My friend messaged me that he left the place at 11pm. I think he must have enjoyed himself there.

That's pretty much sums up the trip for my friend.

Life Without Blowing Wind Forum

It happened suddenly. When I clicked on BW forum, I was linked to a porn site. I panicked. I called Hendry immediately.

"our website have been hijacked?" I said.
"Don't know. It happened a few hours ago." came the reply.
"what happened?", I asked.
"Don't know yet, I have been trying to get in touch with the web support, but I could not reach them." said Hendry.
"Ok. Let me know once you get back online."

The thought of BW getting hijacked or hacked worries me. But there is nothing I can do. I suddenly remembered the same incident happened 2 years ago when BW were taken offline from Forumer. For a couple of days after BW was taken offline, life after work was aimless. It was then that we decided to migrate to a paid site to host BW. And we haven't looked back sinced.

Years ago, not being an avid surfer for newsy stories of polictics or porn like some of my friends. I chanced upon Blowing Wind and the then Hong Lim Park from friends. There was no short of stories, gossips and local gay news, etc. from the 2 popular forums. But due to some management thingy, Hong Lim Park have been inactive.

It was later that I was invited by the mod to join BW as one of the moderator. And that changed my life completely. Now, my life have somehow intertwine with BW and a day without logging in to BW is like a compass that has lost it's bearing.

Through BW, I have met many interesting people and learned tons of things. Made some really good friends and well, some really nasty anonymous enemies. Haha..My BW EC friend even says my England have improved.

I don't know about others, but Life would be boring without BW forum.

P/s : BW Forum is back in action now.
