Singapore: Absolute ~ Part 1

This particular experience was so long, I've decided to split it into parts for better coverage. And so that I will remember this experience in years to come.
It's actually bittersweet to write this because of something that happened at the end that made me kind of emo... but we'll get to that.

So Absolute is one of the premier saunas in merlion land. Prior to heading down I did some research, and found on a forum some PLU stated that it had become less popular due to poor maintenance, and the famous HOT crowd had migrated to other places like Keybox or Cruise. But after reading some other comments and experience of some other bloggers, I've decided to see for myself what is (or was) the glory of Abs.

The date I chose to travel was no coincidence. I made plans for that weekend because of the special monthly event there - The Foam Party. I've never been to one before, so it was really tempting.

On Sunday evening (7+pm), I headed to the busy street in Chinatown, there were many tourists and vendors alike, I quietly sneaked up the stairs to find myself at the entrance and reception. I was NERVOUS. After answering some questions and registering, I was given 2 towels and a locker key.

It was supposed to be fully nude after 7.30pm, since it was still early everyone was in their underwear so I followed. Again, a first timer has to explore the place and figure out the layout, so my first few laps around were slightly clumsy and funny hahaha. At some darker places I actually walked into the wall, because there were mirrors here and there, so it's hard to tell between a wall and an actual walkway hahahaha!

I finally figured my way around. 1st floor was lockers, shower and steam room, though the steam room had not been functioning for some time according to the guys there. 2nd and 3rd floor had the usual dark alleys, maze, private cabins. The cabins were all spread out on the floors unlike local saunas where they are all centered together. Going further up the 3rd floor led to a beautiful rooftop bar and open area, the venue of the foam party. The foam was already bubbling, but no one was in yet. More on foam party later.

So I headed back down and basically just cruised around, checking out 'Singapore' haha. I could immediately see the difference between SG and KL crowd. Definitely higher quality overall in terms of body and looks, but I was told later by a guy that this night was considered average only in terms of hotties. So I could only imagine what a full HOT night was like haha. I was expecting ALL guys to be ridiculously fit and good looking, but turns out they weren't that intimidating. Sure those in their 20s and 30s had nice chest and arms, but not many had like toned abs. I mean, I could fit in there OK. Not the hottest, but not the worst too LOL.

I know this sounds shallow, but I was incredibly relieved that I still had market value in Singapore. I believe I fall into the cute, innocent, "come fuck me" category. Or maybe I just gave out that skanky vibe. I put in a lot of effort prior to going there to make myself look better, like extra time on the treadmill, styling my hair, wearing contact lenses, some foundation to cover up some flaws haha. Singapore guys are not too much better than KL guys. Just marginally. So jangan risau sahabat-sahabat tanah airku. At least from what I observed that night.

More coming up tomorrow ;)
