Decided

Ok. I've decided to go for the SBS camp after much appreciated advice from my friends. Yay!! Even my mum encourages me to go. She said it's time for me to see the sun and not remain cooped up at home like a tiresome chicken waiting for slaughter time. Plus, it's time that i go out and make friends and stop risking being an anti-social. In conclusion, i'm going for the camp. Those going to NTU's camps, maybe can meet me. I'll be there to haunt the grounds of Pulau-NTU.

Went to Smith's Road for dinner yesterday. Smith's road is actually Chinatown la. Saw a lot of tourists sampling Singapore's cuisine/hawker fares. Chinatown is actually quite interesting at night. Plus there are a lot of sumptious foodstores lurking around the corners. I can't believe that i actually think that chinatown is interesting. *guffaws*

After walking around Chinatown, we proceeded to Geylang for durian feast! woo hoo!! We sat down and feasted on the creamy and soft durian. The succulent flesh melted instantly in my mouth and left a sweet after taste that made me crave for more. Ok! That's like too overly done. My descriptions are fit for commercial advertisements. Oh ya!! And the juicy refreshing coconut juice we had. Left me in a state of euphoria. Ok. Enough!

While we were enjoying in the durian delight, our eyes were also straying to passer-bys. Geylang is notorious for those illicit business right... Of course there were many things to see. Once in a while, we got to see gaudily dressed cheena women flirting blatantly to those ah peks. Or, sashaying hand-in-hand, their heads on the ah peks' chests, looking at bliss or done in pretence. whatever. Saw a lot of ah peks stirring their cups of coffee enthusiastically and hoping for nubile women to descend from heaven and land on their laps. My aunt even commented that Geylang has more things to look at compared to Orchard Road. Haha! A chance to know more about the illicit red light district of Singapore.

We noticed this chintzy pub/hotel across the road. A massive and rumbustious crowd of MEN, was gathering outside the entrance. Curiosity got the better of us and we stood across the road and tried to catch a glimpse and fathom what's happening. The crowd included cheena man, banglas and maybe peppered with some Singaporean ah peks strategically hidden by the others so that even if their wives employed PIs to follow them, the PIs would have a hard time capturing them on film. Thus, eliminating the risk of the PIs catching evidence of them indulging in their 'leisure' activities. After standing there for few minutes, we only caught a man leaving the pub/hotel with a "satisfied smile plastered on his face". (quoted from my aunt) I saw 2/3 long haired women coming out and throwing their hair back like the models in the Pantene advertisement.

It's quite obvious that the pub/hotel had some dubious illicit hanky pankies going on inside. Those people gathering outside were the patrons eagerly waiting for their turns. Or maybe, there were some strip teasers inside and the men were there waiting enthusiastically for the doors the swing wide open so they can catch a glimpse. These are just my theories but then in Geylang, what can one expect besides that?

My dad suggested we drive through some lorongs to 'open our eyes'. The lorongs seemed very deserted and quiet on the outside but it was a completely different matter when we drove in. There was a bustle of activities inside. Neon lighted houses, gargantuan crowds of MEN gathering outside the (i assume) brothels. The scantily dressed women with voluptuous figures stood outside and on the road, beckoning to any passer-bys as long as you have balls in your pants. A lot of cheena men mingling there which caused my aunt to ask "why are they there standing?" which i promptly replied "Free show ma! No money to get a room. Can see also not bad. Free de leh!"

I asked my dad how come there's no equivalent of geylang catered for women. Instead of women, rugged and muscled men parading on the road, selling their wares?
