fort road 4 - characters 2

i have earlier written about the characters that hanged around the toilet area. in this post, let me write about the characters that goes to the car park frequently. and before i write, let me qualify that this list is based on personal experiences and the general behaviour of the few individuals here may not reflect the actual crowd. here goes...
  • exhibitionist property agent uncle. this guy gained rather "good" fame and popularity recently after he was photographed parading himself in broad daylight and the photo got posted onto stomp - a local online photo news site. as the name suggests, this guy in his 50s likes to parade himself in the nude at the fort road car park regardless of day or night. in the day, he would do so rather blatantly and at times, he would walk between parked cars and expose himself to (gay) people in the cars. in the evening, he would get even more daring and walk around the car park in the nude and approach people (at times with a hard on). this uncle was previously known to ambush people in the reclaimed land. but he cannot do so these days after the local authorities closed off the reclaimed land.
  • guy in car tanning in g-string. this was (and still is) an interesting guy. he wears a beige fisherman's cap and tans in his car in his g-string. often, he would rest his legs on his car window and leave the door a little opened. he has been doing so for many many years. previously, he drove a red alfa romeo but has since changed to an mpv. and with the mpv, it is easier for him cos the mpv is higher and he can tan without really worrying about people looking into his car. then again, i have never seen him walk out of his car. he simply strips himself down and remain in his car.
  • unkempt unsound uncle who seeked sex. there's this uncle who seemed a little mentally unsound. he spots some whiskers (yes, overgrown bits of facial hair that does not qualify as a moustache or beard), unkept hair and wears shabbily. and he would walk from car to car, knocking on windows and when you wind it down, he would openly asked if you were gay and whether he could come in and have sex with you. and if you say no, he would plead with you and he would even insert his whole arm into your car and try to grope you. freaky...
  • hawker centre uncle. and there is this uncle who sells satay bee hoon at a hawker centre in the central west area of singapore. he is married and has kids but would appear very frequently at the car park in the afternoon after he closes his shop. he has been hanging around the car park for the last many many years and he recently gained quite a bit of "fame" after appearing in a local mandarin tv show where he demonstrated how to make good satay bee hoon.
  • a kept guy? then of cos there is this guy in his late-20s who drives a black honda jazz car and he would drive back and forth between the fort road car park, the toilet car park and the national stadium car park to look for people. i think he works in a country club as i have seen his car there before. anyway, i half suspect he is a kept guy cos people i know told me about him and how he would be so secretive about his identity as he didn't want his other half to know about him visiting fort road. like real... hah...
then of cos there are the many others who drive round and round the place and who seldom stop. and when they do, they would park there and hang around for a while. these include a white haired ang mo uncle, a malay uncle, a couple of van drivers, etc. kinda interesting to have them around as they add to the colours and variety of the place. fort road car park continue to attract people. many have frequented the place before, and many have moved on and no longer visits it. but one thing is for sure, the car park has become a legendary place by itself amongst the many gay men in singapore and i suspect if one day, it disappears, the memories of this place will continue to live on.

  1. I think the white hair ang mo uncle was a Scotsman? He used to live in Bayshore. We had quite good conversations and wanks. He did tell me he suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome.
