Fellas, been following this forum about 6 months. I'm going to Batam for the first time with 2 other blokes. We're all from Australia. We staying at the De Vienna from 21 -23 Aug. Can anyone recommend booking joints/massages near the hotel, as well places just to hang out and get shit faced. Very much looking forward to the trip. Thanks in advance.
Also tried clicking on Nono First timers guide but it doesnt work.

I'll give you some helping hand;
Booking joints
There is a big booking joint right across the road from Da Vienna called Permata Indah. It's about 5mins walk away; you will need a taxi for the rest of the booking joints as they are at least 15mins away from u
Places to hangout/get shitfaced
Kampung Bule - a small enclave of pubs and drinking holes.
Pacific Disco - big disco in Pacific Hotel with plenty of freelancers
Titanium Club - Moderately upscale disco/club
Newton Disco - Another disco/club with freelancers
Noname Pub - Nice midsize pub with live band in Harmoni hotel
I'll let the others chip in with other suggestions..
For clean massages, I (and many others) swear by this chain of massage places called Sport Massage; they have 5-6 outlets in Batam. The most prominent one is located opposite Harmoni Hotel. 250k rupiah for 2 solid hours of massage. You can thank me later for this place.. Haha

I wish I could see the face of the white-hair mami previously working in Happy8 and Bunga, should you request that.

Np bro. Thanks for sharing.
We didn't want to spend much also. Want to just "recce" this ktv. So we only ordered about 18 beers (that means the price of 12 beers since buy 4 get 2 free) (we also don't want drink too much eh? - Beer is fattening :P Drink too much need to go gym to work it off.)
So beers itself was about 624k (12 * 52). Peanuts and whatever nonsense that we never use add up to about 50k. So total 674k. As for the girls, each one is 350k. So just add accordingly.
Oh, I forgot to mention that if you spend above a certain amount the room charges is free. Hahaha. But I didn't catch how much is the threshold.
Regarding tips, I usually would want to tip. But the girls that sit with us really 0 playability. I guess you are right in saying communication barrier is one thing... indeed... it was almost impossible to talk to them (but their singing of Chinese Karaoke quite power honestly... even though they read just hanyu pinyin).
Given the 0 playability, quite bad attitude and the shock increase from 250 to 350k, we didn't tip because we felt really disappointed. But think back, should have just tipped a bit.
Not many goes to KTV in Batam,i think..hence info isnt really as updated. Nonetheless,i believe tho it isnt completely update,price difference wont be too far apart tho.
Thank you for the pricing update.
Interesting,hehehe...i think the girls you saw was from other mamis. :D
As the usual case of most KTVs,one has to get to know the mamis before getting to the girls. Or,like my friend,bypass the the mamis to get to the girls...there are many ways to do that,it all depends on your creativity. Like my friends who were able to get overnight Vietnam and China girls at between 1 juta to 1.5 juta (I did mention I have done the similar before in my past summaries over a year ago too).
Just that they didnt exactly share their techniques with me in details,hehehe...;)
Note : Regarding the Vietnam and China girls mentioned,it may be a case of "i can get it but you may not" scene, hence I cant share too much details. My apologies.
Sincerely thank you for the price update.
Yes 1.5 juta to 1.7 juta is becos mami earn a bit,KTV boss earn a bit...actually in those amount the girls get is only about half of it or at times,even lesser.
This is already a clue, hehehe...
Like in Singapore,if the girls do more...they get more,but even if they dont do anything,they still spend their time "not butterflying around" just to be with you...so i think its fair to tip them depending on their service level and playability.
That's also why toward the end of the night...they become more daring,hehehe...
This part,i have nothing to say. When there is a language barrier,i think things can be quite difficult during communication too.
Most night club KTV system can be rather bad,even those family type too,hehehe...lack of maintenance I guess (even tho they did try to update "software" when their "hardware" failed).
Mind if i ask,how much was your total billed expenses that night?
No obligation to reply me tho.
Try this the next round,book your room early (its just a phone call away or inform the hotel reception to do that),so the mami can prepare their girls early. Get to know the mami,even the waiters there were key person that you should talk to,hehehe...dont just talk to your own girls,but with them too. Early birds also usually catch the best worms in Batam. :D
When i mean "talk to the key person",i actually mean to buy their heart. As to how to buy their heart,i believe you will know if you frequent KTV night clubs in Singapore.
In batam,i often play the "do-it-right-i-reward-you" game BUT not every single time so as not to let the people there know i am predictable.
You may wish to try M1 or M2 KTV the next time round but cost should be around 50% higher compared to Alishan. Anyway, KTV in batam isnt my game play,i am only sharing base on my minimum experience there,hope it can be of some help to you.

Oh, and sorry for late replies. I don't check back often.
Also, wanna share an update on King Massage @ Formosa in case anyone interested.
My friend managed to get a girl (quite cute syt) to give a hj + top clothes off for 200k. I think she tried to ask + 300k (on top of the 200k) for top off. But my friend he power - managed to nego... I think he also managed to make her abit wet by stroking her pussy on top of her jeans, so I guess she just "shui bian".
He wanted to fuck her, but she claim she virgin, so she whatever amount also refuse.
So yeah, just wanna support bro Nono here on the pricing. That it is probably possible to get a good hj from a nice girl for a decent price. But maybe it's not for all bros that have such nego skills. But as for me... the girl quote some ridiculous price. I am ok one - got self control. To me... you quote me such ridiculous price e.g. 700k for a hj, I won't even bother bargaining with you anymore so as not to spoil market also. So even though I left without anything, but I am totally cool with it.
I think a lot of these places the market quite spoilt... so must stick firm and hope for "market correction" :P. (Joking, I know that's not what it means in economics). Hehe.
---
Also, I went to check out Octopus spa. If you want to fuck them,hey have the short time package.
They have 3 classes: silver, gold and platinum. Silver one mostly really cui. Platinum ones really good. I think platinum + room (the cheapest room) total should be 1.2 juta at least. I can't really remember the exact price, but each tier down you cut about 200k. So cheapest silver + cheapest room you can fuck for about 700k+.
To choose the girl, they will conduct a "contest" - which basically means they line up all the girls for you to choose / see. But even though I say the platinum girls really look quite good (syt with boobs etc.), their face all look damn sour (like they not willing to be there - so I not sure how does that translate in the actual action since I never try - just want to check out the quality of the goods :D). For added information, at about 5 pm on a weekday, there are about 5 silver girls, 7 gold girls and about 3 platinum girls that lined up for us. The place was fucking quiet at that hour, we saw at most 2 other spa-goers.
Btw, the receptionist fucking pretty... omg... But she not for sale. :( She easily Platinum +++.
They also have the hj option. But for that, cannot choose girl. You take what they give you. I think the price is the room that you choose. So yeap.
So in conclusion, the price is sort of fixed here. But I do recall Bro Nono ever mentioning that you can always try for HJ option and see whether you can charm her into giving you fj. Not sure. But maybe Bro Nono here can share his "gao zhao" (high level skills). Hehehe.
Hope this helps some bros out there. And remember bro Nono's and many other bro's advice here - pls don't spoil market. Hehe. :D

Shit faced=having someone defecate on your face. Is that what it meant?
Lol. It's a common terminology in Australia.
Piss/Grog = Alcohol
Getting on the piss = Drinking Alcohol Hard
Drunk = Legless Cunt, Off your face Cunt, Maggot Cunt, Pissed Cunt.
We tend to add cunt to every sentence. So if anyone is keen for some drinking buddies on 21 -23 Aug hit me up.

Hello bros, gonna be in Batam for a one night trip (21 August).
Last trip to Batam was some time back.
If you are around the Sekupang area, let me know and perhaps we can check out some places for a good massage (or a special massage), go hunting in bars/joints/clubs together, or grab some food and drinks! Whatever works.
Most likely when all's said and done, when it is time to hit the sack, I will retire back to hotel with a cewek from one of these places.
Drop me a message!

I learned that most Batam KTV needs to have minimum spending to get room free. For example ,room is 100k rupiah per hour,you spend 10 hours in it BUT if my food and beverages adds up over a juta,those "hours" in dollar spent in the KTV room were offset.
Oh, I forgot to mention that if you spend above a certain amount the room charges is free. Hahaha. But I didn't catch how much is the threshold.
Applies for family KTV too,hehehe...I just tried that in my last trip...will probably update on my Aug summary during Nov.
Regarding tips, I usually would want to tip. But the girls that sit with us really 0 playability. I guess you are right in saying communication barrier is one thing... indeed... it was almost impossible to talk to them (but their singing of Chinese Karaoke quite power honestly... even though they read just hanyu pinyin).
I have only been to Alishan thrice in my 3 years (if I don't remember wrong) and thrice,it has given me a fairly good impression. The girls tried to keep most of us entertained,but very unlike those China/Singapore ktv that I can openly strip all of them (the girls) and have them running around playing,bbbj-ing openly etc,hehehe...these exist in Batam,becos I have seen it mentioned in the old thread before,and I believe it really depend how regular I am in the Batam KTV scene to make things work in those direction,hehehe...
Given the 0 playability, quite bad attitude and the shock increase from 250 to 350k, we didn't tip because we felt really disappointed. But think back, should have just tipped a bit.
You were right,bro...tip only when they do their job ,tip more only when they do well (value-added). Of course if a situation cause by the girls completely disappoint me and that I wont be returning,i wouldn't have tip at all.
One of the reason why I choose to tip a little becos I MAY return,hehehe...and as you know in this scene,words of mouth spread around deep between the girls and staffs (kind of like some law of nature in Batam). :p

Around 7pm we went to Lucy's with our luck the bar girls were quite pretty and decided to stay. I managed to convince one of the bar girls to come back to the hotel with me. Looks about 7-8 body 8 fit athletic..Banged her 3 times then 1 more after breakfast. Overall good first day. Damage $50au + 500k. Didn't have enough idr as I didn't change enough. She's keen for round 2 tonight.

You took to your hotel a bar girl for 1 million rp, banged her several times till late in the morning after breakfast, which means that you paid less than the average, paid by those who go to booking joints to get a girl for the night, for more than what the majority of them gets.
Most bar girls are more expensive than girls from booking joints, as they are used to deal with foreigners, who often overpay.
In your case, I would say that either she was older and uglier than what you reported, or she really likes you and you had your super time with a girlfriend for a night. Whatever, you had a great time!

Hey, it is true that bule are considered very attractive by most indo ladies. That's why I go to Batam as much as I can :D
BUT, it is also true that a bule in a kampung bule bar or a disco is often asked to pay much more than a local, at least by many girls, because many bule do not know the local market.
As I wrote, that lady either was older and uglier than what he reported, or she really liked him and he had a super time with a girlfriend for a night. Whatever, he enjoyed and that's what is important.
PS: if I ask "how much" to a girl in a pub or disco (that is, not to someone pretending to wish to be girlfriend) and I am proposed more than 1M, I always decline. Yet, several girls tried to ask much more than that.

Agreed...
When N was about a month old in NB.
she experienced with a customer that book her by viewing.
When she arrived the hotel she realised that he hv BO.
She immediately vomited, cried and told Ah Tek she need to call off the deal.
From then on...she told A Tek that she don't want customer like these.
But surprisingly in TBK one or two of the villa the OKT told me that there are a few girls that specialized on these group of customers.

Oh, and sorry for late replies. I don't check back often.
Hehehe...I also often reply late, apologize for that bro. Work come 1st,otherwise cannot cheong with peace of mind.
Better late than never tho,hehehe...
Also, wanna share an update on King Massage @ Formosa in case anyone interested.
My friend managed to get a girl (quite cute syt) to give a hj + top clothes off for 200k. I think she tried to ask + 300k (on top of the 200k) for top off. But my friend he power - managed to nego... I think he also managed to make her abit wet by stroking her pussy on top of her jeans, so I guess she just "shui bian".
She's happy to have your friend as customer. Most of my friends going to Kings pays 150k rupiah for HJ with top roaming,and 200k rupiah for full roaming. If the girls offer more extra even after the HJ is over,then maybe we tip extra 50k to 100k rupiah.
I mentioned this before,but I am going to repeat...get the Formosa membership card,you will be entitled a 10% off massage price and a 20% or 30% (cant really remember off hand) for Alishan.
Most of us would feel a few S$ is just small money,but when they were added together,it can be quite big. Moreover,small money to Sillyporean can be relatively big money to others (especially in the 3rd world). On top of it,this small money can help me build a good foundation over a period of time in the scene I am cheonging in,so why not?
200k rupiah for 2 hours massage, 15% (I own a silver card),is 30k rupiah. 30k rupiah is small? Hehehe...
Just sharing an idea here.
He wanted to fuck her, but she claim she virgin, so she whatever amount also refuse.
This is interesting...a virgin in Kings,hehehe...thanks for sharing.
(planning for my next trip soon)
So yeah, just wanna support bro Nono here on the pricing. That it is probably possible to get a good hj from a nice girl for a decent price. But maybe it's not for all bros that have such nego skills. But as for me... the girl quote some ridiculous price. I am ok one - got self control. To me... you quote me such ridiculous price e.g. 700k for a hj, I won't even bother bargaining with you anymore so as not to spoil market also. So even though I left without anything, but I am totally cool with it.
Like I often say,the so called base market price were stated in this thread since the i 1st visit batam,its up to individual to pay for an apple for cost X price. Example,this forum's PRC FLs price were around S$80 to S$160,no one can stop another for paying (or tip) S$1000 to S$10000 when majority readers already read and knew.
By far,i have yet to pay more than a juta for any overnight girls yet. That includes Indo-Chinese, Vietnam and PRCs in Batam,hehehe...by bargaining (nicely),play nice (eg,don't act like some big shot) and being humble is still my way to go in Batam. Like you just said,if price is not right,simply walk off. 80% chance,i will be called back by the one I talked to, ...to have the deal closed.
Right timing,at the right places with the right attitude...be a nice guy,one will enjoy Batam.
(newbies/1st timers need to drop their expectation by at least half 1st tho,hehehe...)
I think a lot of these places the market quite spoilt... so must stick firm and hope for "market correction" :P. (Joking, I know that's not what it means in economics). Hehe.
This kind of thing no price tag,as long as you found someone hungry enough,your chance of winning in a bargain is high.
Also, I went to check out Octopus spa. If you want to fuck them,hey have the short time package.
They have 3 classes: silver, gold and platinum. Silver one mostly really cui. Platinum ones really good. I think platinum + room (the cheapest room) total should be 1.2 juta at least. I can't really remember the exact price, but each tier down you cut about 200k. So cheapest silver + cheapest room you can fuck for about 700k+.
To choose the girl, they will conduct a "contest" - which basically means they line up all the girls for you to choose / see. But even though I say the platinum girls really look quite good (syt with boobs etc.), their face all look damn sour (like they not willing to be there - so I not sure how does that translate in the actual action since I never try - just want to check out the quality of the goods :D). For added information, at about 5 pm on a weekday, there are about 5 silver girls, 7 gold girls and about 3 platinum girls that lined up for us. The place was fucking quiet at that hour, we saw at most 2 other spa-goers.
Btw, the receptionist fucking pretty... omg... But she not for sale. :( She easily Platinum +++.
They also have the hj option. But for that, cannot choose girl. You take what they give you. I think the price is the room that you choose. So yeap.
Thanks for sharing bro...really good information here. I have been sticking to the same men's spa where the girls used to be handpicked by their bosses,hehehe...cheap and good. No hassle...
So in conclusion, the price is sort of fixed here. But I do recall Bro Nono ever mentioning that you can always try for HJ option and see whether you can charm her into giving you fj. Not sure. But maybe Bro Nono here can share his "gao zhao" (high level skills). Hehehe.
Hope this helps some bros out there. And remember bro Nono's and many other bro's advice here - pls don't spoil market. Hehe. :D
I will come to this another day,hehehe...but its gonna be a repeat of what I have said before. ;)
Sorry,recently quite busy at work.

I compared the fares on the Da Vienna web site with those I can get at Formosa with the membership card (540k).
The standard room at DV is 440k/night. The Junior Suite is 780k. The Grand Deluxe Suite, which is 33 sqm and is their largest room before entering the suite category (a small apt.) is 550k. Booking on Agoda, there is some significant saving.
In short, there is only one last argument that blocks me before making the giant leap and book DV instead of Formosa the next time, besides my fond memories in Formosa: would staff say anything if one night I go to my room with 2 or even 3 girls?
I wonder if I would have the same freedom to invite friends, or if girls can go straight to the elevator without being questioned, as I am used in Formosa.
That is a big plus for me, and I believe for some others who read this.
Maybe we don't want to spoil the reputation of the DV hotel here (contrary to my opinion, for some others having full freedom on guests is not a good thing). PM is also welcomed.
Dear all, I never received an answer to my question in red above. Next time I go to Batam will be in December, and yes I will be with a friend who heard about Batam from me and cannot wait to see it personally.
I don't like to be a wingman, as having someone with me detracts me a lot of freedom, and also I feel responsible for taking him to the right place (but I don't know what is the right place for him! A booking joint or adventure in a club? shopping or hunting?)
However, I am sure he would be much more comfortable in a good hotel as Da Vienna rather than Formosa. For me, it is essential I have full freedom to do what I want and take whoever I want to my room, even 3 girls. Do you have any experience?

I don't think overpaid. And she was a looker. I don't over estimate. For your information she stayed with both nights. I just tipped her 200k the second night. So 2 nights less than 1.5 mil i think I did alright for a decent girl who also acted as a tour guide and she does really likes me and did everything I asked except AJ which I didnt force it on her. BTW I get a daily naked pick on WHATSAPP. I will RTF in Feb.

Public holiday eve means not yet public holiday. Hence, should still be able to take trading rate as a general guide.
XE is giving me 9830 as I'm typing this. But, this is live trading rate, so retail customers won't be able to get this. Just a general guide.
But, what the bro said above is true. Unless you're changing thousands of $$$, the difference you might get will be negligible. Maybe at most 10k - 20k rp. Furthermore, since you're asking, means you're not a regular of any money changer, all the more you won't be given regular customer rates.
I don't know if the 9810 I'm given is good rate or not. But, I'm just changing $200. Even if I'm given 9830, the difference is just 600 rp. Hardly enough to get me another pair of nipples to tune.
So, see open a bit. Just make sure you change at shop where there are at least 3-4 money changers to compare price and you can be sure you won't do too badly.
I did read here that if you happen to change on a non trading day, changing between 11am - 12:30 noon seems to get you better rates. I've not had the chance to test this theory though.

Hey bros, any hotels you guys recommend other than formosa?
Do you want a hotel that's in the same area as Formosa, or other area?
If nearby Formosa, you can try Lovinna Inn and Hotel City Central. These are similar to our Hotel 81, cost about $30/$40 per night and just a stone throw away from Formosa Hotel.
Hotel Utama is at another area (though not too far from Formosa, about 15 mins walk) that's got a lot of massage palours (read: fuck joints) and booking joints too.
Another budget hotel favourite is Hana Hotel. About 5-7 minutes walk from Formosa. Booking joint - New Berry - used to be opposite this hotel, before it closed down. Happy8 is quite near to this hotel - about 7 minutes walk.
You asked a very open ended question. Hence, the answer you get may or may not be what you want.

If you're new then Formosa for sure, given its proximity to Nagoya mall too plus there's always Kings massage or the ktv on top. Just load up google maps and you can walk over to the utama area in 10+ mins or grab a taxi if you're lazy

Too bad,this guy only do business after 5pm onward and i only bump into this food store by accident in my last trip (Aug 2017).
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/01/ttZrf.jpg
Surprise to see roti prata made by Indos instead of indians. And they are quite expensive...at 6.5k for the kosong version and 2 pieces for 12k. Remember,i say expensive is becos i am comparing base on Batam term,hehehe...when curry puff cost 3k per piece. Roti prata at Indo Rasa food court cost 10k,if i dont remember wrong.
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/01/ttqFg.jpg
Forget to add,i think this roti prata beside being just extra crispy,it also has a bit of fish oil aroma...i think the chef add a bit of those "fish oil thingy" and mixed it into the flour.

This place is inside Baba Street food court. Behind Formosa Hotel,between Nagoya City Walk Mall and Acia Food Court. I went there twice in my last trip and once it wasnt open ,my guess is the store opens after 5pm.
Enjoy!

Yes most stall in the evening.

Satay is not bad,better than most in Batam but still,its quite common in terms of taste as compare with those in Singapore satay club. (i prefer Batam's ibu joko's satay as compare with the Baba street one,they still hold number 1 place in my heart)
If you happen to pass by there,should try their roti prata kosong. Way better than those made in Batam's indian eating places/restaurant or the indian store at Indo rasa food court. Not only that,its cheaper than them too. I think its about about 1k to 3k rupiah difference. Singapore ones will cost around S$0.80 per prata,so 6.5k rupiah is consider high.
I think the prata store has a recipe of their own. The taste of the prata surprised me that evening,hence i wrote it up here. Its now at number 1 place for me,hehehe...;)
Just dont expect to see those fancy prata-making moves done by the girl below :D :

What happens next is both of us proceeding to Amir Hotel for ST. When booking the room, they actually had the balls to tell me using POSB credit for payment will incur extra charges. And I only have that card with me. Although it's just $10 +/-, it's still daylight robbery.
Half day and hourly rate isnt exactly value for money from my perspective.
Hi All, besides the above-mentioned Amir Hotel may i know any other hotels that provide transit/hourly rate preferably ones nearer to nagoya hill mall?
Appreciate any helpful inputs.

Yes, but this is for the deluxe room which I always book for overnight. When extending short time, naturally they quote me the deluxe room rate. They have a smaller superior room but I do not know the transit rate for this room. Maybe 150k for 3 hours.
On the same topic, Indorasa Hotel 100k for 3 hours.
But, if given a choice, I'd take Hana over Indorasa. No issue with hot water which sometimes the room at Indorasa comes with. And the bed at Hana more comfortable. Yes, I tried Indorasa bafore to make this comparison.

Interesting,nowaday most provision shops dont sell beer anymore (by indo law which i heard from news),hehehe...mostly only available at supermarket.
Hi All, besides the above-mentioned Amir Hotel may i know any other hotels that provide transit/hourly rate preferably ones nearer to nagoya hill mall?
Why would one goes for hourly rate when the full day rate is very close to the same at hourly rate?
Hana Hotel offers transit booking as well. 3 hours for 200k for Deluxe room.
200k rupiah,a little more in another hotel,eg Hotel 18...gets me a full overnight stay? And i do not need to rush in rush out,plus got security to look after my belongings while i roam around,hehehe...
Only if the hourly rate variances is way lesser than overnight rate,then i would say its value for money.
Just sharing my thoughts.
On the same topic, Indorasa Hotel 100k for 3 hours.
Indorasa looks like a better choice but well...its also more rundown as compare to Hana (or even Hotel 18). Its like those transit hotel at Keong saik street in the 80s,hehehe...
There are still a handful of below 300k rupiah hotel for overnight. Like the one inside Nagoya hill Mall,hehehe... ;)

Well, he did ask for hotels that provide transit rates, not that provide cheapest transit rate.
I happened to have stayed in the hotels named here and my order of preference would be
- Hana Hotel
- Holiday Hotel (stayed there before their renovation recently, room quality could be different now)
- Lovinna Inn
- Hotel 18
- Indorasa
Are you aware that Hotel 18 got hot water issue when late in the night? I rather pay 50k more to have guaranteed hot water than to have cold shower. :) Just saying... It's easy to compare base on price. But unless you stayed on the hotel before, you won't know of issue like no hot water at night.

Not sure if it's due to high occupancy. Since you've not encountered before, then it might be a one off occurrence. I've only stayed there once and it's check in after midnight, so high occupancy or not, I don't know. But it's occurred during my stay and I don't like paying and then leaving things to chance. So, it'll stay low on my list.

Noted.
- Hana Hotel
Its a pretty good hotel (no doubts at all),i used to stay there once at their Executive room (i think they call it junior suite). I think most hotel rental sites no longer has that room today anymore. Maybe becos they only have one such room,hence they no longer put it up for rental.
- Holiday Hotel (stayed there before their renovation recently, room quality could be different now)
The rooms were also renovated and now provide lifts,hehehe....but in a way,their room prices is up too (as much as some 3 star hotel).
I will choose holiday hotel than Lovinna Nagoya hotel today.
- Lovinna Inn
A friend stayed there before,used to be relative quite good but over time,the quality of room deteriorate due to lack of maintenance. The good thing is,they now have wifi...which they didnt have when they 1st started.
- Hotel 18
Hmm...looks like they didnt fix the issue of the hotwater. I am not sure about this one. Maybe some other bros can chip in to share?
- Indorasa
Like i say earlier,the rooms were pretty rundown when i 1st stayed there few years ago. But for a few hours,i guess its not an issue for 100k rupiah tho. No problem on their hot water,only problem for me is...cockroaches,hehehe... :D
Are you aware that Hotel 18 got hot water issue when late in the night? I rather pay 50k more to have guaranteed hot water than to have cold shower. :)
I think not every of their room has no hot water at night,just have to get the right room that has. Anyway,like you mentioned earlier,if its meant for a couple of hours,i guess i could forego the part w/o hot water during the day (of course,i am saying this base on my own comfortability level and not others). :p
Just saying... It's easy to compare base on price. But unless you stayed on the hotel before, you won't know of issue like no hot water at night.
Thank you for sharing,as we all chip in to share along...readers will get to understand better each respective hotel's pros and cons hence help them make the right choice of what suits them most. Most i knew do not simply compare hotels base solely on prices,i guess...but also on comfortability,service standard, accessibility, convenience etc etc.
My message which i wish to put across is simple,standing from a Batam noob's perspective, if i wish to grab a transit hotel base on hourly rate,i would like to check and know if their hourly rate versus overnight rate,which is more of a better value. If the difference isnt too far apart,then the rest would be more onto what suits me most. :)
Best hotel in Batam is what suit me most.
Just like in the entire Batam,i can only find 4 rooms that best suit me and these 4 rooms were all in Formosa Hotel (used to be 5,now reduced to 4,haiz...and not easy to book now).
Cheers!

My friends who visit Batam have a hard time looking for alcoholic drinks to bring back to rooms a few times,so most time now, they buy back in big numbers from major big supermarket (eg Hyper mart). But imagine,they walk for 5 mins from Nagoya Hill Mall,sweat all the way carrying a carton of beer,hehehe...its considered an inconvenient from my perspective.

Point noted.
Just like your pet peeves is about roaches in rooms, mine is about hot water, or rather the lack of. Most FL will have no issue with no hot water though, as a lot of their own rental room don't come with air con or water heater. How fortunate we are in Singapore that these 2 amenities are taken for granted.

Take a look at room stay in Nagoya Mall. It's 250k for 1 night and room cleaniness is tip top. No worries of no hot water too.

As stated will need the room only for a couple of hours (3 at most) during the day before heading back to sg in the evening. So hot water issue is not a deal breaker for me. What matters (for me at least) is a clean comfy bed and a working aircon.
A quick research from ur list shows Indorasa as the nearest but bro nono encounter with roaches put me off :eek:
The next nearest is lovina inn. Their pics from agoda also not bad. Will consider that in my plan. Any idea their hourly rates?

Another hotel to consider for transit rate - City Central Hotel. I only stay in their deluxe room, rate is 200k for 3 hours. They have smaller superior room but I'm not sure if the rate. It's just behind Lovinna Inn, so also pretty neat to Nagoya Hill Mall. "Benefit" of staying at this hotel is if you are limited in Bahasa Indo, they have a few Chinese girls at their counter. Quite cute ones too.
Guess most hotels will have some sort of transit rate if you ask. No point leaving unsold rooms remain unsold...

i agreed with your recommendation ,here's more info on the hotel in case anyone looking for it.
Its right inside Nagoya Hill Mall,at the floor where the food court is located.
(no taxi driver can miss Nagoya Hill Mall,hehehe...)
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/03/tXKqL.jpg
Very basic simple room,at least its secured enough for a couple of hours,no rush. Step inside in the morning and leaves during the night, only 250k rupiah,hehehe...even 200k rupiah is possible since not gonna be staying overnight.
Cheers!
The next nearest is lovina inn. Their pics from agoda also not bad. Will consider that in my plan.
Take note that there are 3 Lovinna hotel in Batam,the one we were taking about is at about 10 o'clock opposite and facing formosa hotel,the name is call Lovinna Nagoya in full. You really dont wish to be brought to the wrong hotel or be booking the wrong one,hehehe... (double check with the mapping if there is one to make sure you didnt look at the wrong one)
If i dont remember wrong,the other 2 Lovinna is nearer to Batam center area and BCS Mall area. Hope you are not looking at the wrong one. Its just like Harmoni hotel,some here mixed up between Harmoni suite,Harmony Hotel and Harmoni One.
Just a note.
hmm regarding hotel around 200k~
i don't see anyone commenting about budget hotel around lovina inn.
iirc there's like hotel djuju,rezeki,instar and nagoyainn? are they not recommended?

New booking joints that started after i have stepped into Batam since 3 odd years ago :
1. Link's KTV
2. MM Massage
3. Bunga (Batam most expensive)
4. JV Happy 8
5. Sri Kandy
6. Hawaii KTV (ex. Dolly/Shellina)
7. Kupu Kupu Massage (ex. Tulip Massage)
Note : JV Happy 8,Sri Kandy, Links , Kupukupu and Bunga were partnered shops.
U din't jus divide em into category of new/old...u aso hv jus divide em into more expensive & more cheaper.
Newer bking joints tends 2 b mre expensive partly cos they're being monopolized by same group. Usually is minimum 800k & mani of em is minimum 1 jt... :p
among the 7 joint abv,my ownself onli see one reli good 1 & one is abv average.
Old time booking joints BEFORE i stepped into Batam were :
1. Gold Bird KTV (girls still having near 100% book out rate daily)
2. Memory KTV
3. Orchid KTV (very low number of girls)
4. Permata Indah KTV (New Berry + Indah 2 merged)
5. Moonlight Massage (very low number of girls)
6. ????
7. ???? (did i miss out any others?)
Note : Permata Indah and MM were partnered shops.
Looks like the old time booking joints are losing the game...
Older bking joint is cheaper bcs they try to clear off ALL their stocks of gers as much as possible daily. 1 more ger bk out is 1 more xtra $ cums in. So tends 2 b lower price.
surprisingly can stil get 600k ovrnite gers here. Near ending last year i tink 500k stil can get lei. Nw i dn't knw... ;)
tere's aso 2 good joints in these old joints. Good & cheap. :p

In Sillypore, the government is trying to control by allowing the public to tell them apart from some stickers sticking in the private car's front and back of the glass wind screen. I don't think Batam implemented that tho.

Was in Batam on Sunday. Took 1 pm ferry to Batam Centre. Changed $100 at 9,810. Had lunch at Bento Tei. 146k for Agedashi tofu, Chawamusi, bento and soda fruit drink. Nice lunch at affordable rate.
By the way, return ferry was all full and Majestic opened another extra trip.
Had 2 hours massage at Bridge. Had a milf who let me get a bit freedom at autoroam. Maybe can get something next visit. Had dinner at roadside store near Lucky Plaza. After that, felt horny from the Bridge Massage sessions. Fired up my WeChat. Short listed 2 FL, 1 19 year old at 500k and 1 25 year old at 400k. Proceed for the 400k one. Knn. Picture ia quite sexy, but once i reached her hotel, i suspected is Ah Kwa. Immediately belakang pusing and proceed to 19 year old room at Prima Asia Hotel.
When pass by the warung beside the canal, saw 1 23 year old and She was baiting me for short time. Half way to Prima Asia Hotel, decided to video call the 19 year old FL but turned out to be baby hippo.
Walk back to the 23 year old FL. Took up her offer of 400k inclusive of room at Ah Gung hotel. Learned that she fl'ed at Bunga at times. BO at 1.2 juta. Boobs at small B , but after licking her to come, she was ok with bbbj. Very shiok. After that, start banging her. First missionary, then doggy. Came with her back in missionary but hugging me tight.
Wash up feeling satisfied. Got her number and took a cab to Batam Centre for my ferry home. Inclusive of ferry ticket (i got mine at discount), less than $100 for this day trip.
Just my 2k Rp.
Nothing to learn. But if feel entertaining, can up my point?

Time really flies...the last time I hear of this movie was before CNY 2017...and now,it is already the middle of 2017. I am only watch this movie for its special effect and perhaps wish to see how its made,i will ratinge it 5/10 for now. Still,i hope to be able to watch it Batam,hehehe...
For those who missed the movie in Batam Harbour Bay Blitz,hehehe...here's the full movie.
Not bad actually...6.5/10.

Try the movie IT this weekend...at Batam Harbour Bay Mall Blitz. You are going to like it.
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/06/tTGme.jpg
New Line Cinema’s horror thriller “IT,” directed by Andrés Muschietti (“Mama”), is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades.
When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

I DID drive a scooter in Batam, very few times from Pacific to Formosa with a drunk girl on the back (the owner of the bike), but just because I did not want her drive a bike while drunk (dangerous).
Except those cases, which I don't want to repeat, I would NEVER drive a car or a bike in Batam.
Do you know that insurance is not mandatory, so that most people driving there is not covered? Considered how most people drives there, the probability of accident is too high to risk (my opinion). In case someone crashes into your car, you would not get any refund, as the other may be not covered by insurance, and of course is not wealthy enough to refund expenses of car damage, not to mention hospitalization for you and your passengers.

Agreed with you.The rate on Yahoo finance was a little above 9930/SGD few hours before i arrived to Batam. I was keeping my finger crossed when i arrived in Batam. But apparently,the best rate yesterday from money changer was 9860/SGD (a friend got that),and i got 9850/SGD. Today,i believe the best would be 9830/SGD...if there is anyone got more than 9830/SGD,please do share.
The amount i stated was when base on exchange between S$300 to S$1050. Info collect between myself and friends. Batam center also can get 9850/SGD yesterday evening after sunset.

My feeling is that buying a car in Batam, unless one works and lives there, is not an investment. It's money wasted. This if for my and of course also for my most significant lady, if any.
Even in the case I am extremely confident in driving there, others around me are not. And too many are not insured.
BFOMF5
10-09-2017, 06:28 AM

I considered myself a batam resident now.:D
And driving in Indo, do need to expect some one would kiss you, even how good you are... As one can just pay and get a driving licence(they call it something sounds like "Sim Pass") without going through a test.
I don't agree that it could not be an investment....
While the car wouldn't appreciate on its value directly.

Yes, a car in batam is necessary if you want to go places. Driving speed here is slow, due to small road n heavy traffic. Although they widen many major roads in city areas, still can be damn packed during traffic hours.
License? Just pay money to get an international driving license for less hassle. Unless u are local, pay to get a local one. Driving here is simple, but watch out for the ojeks n some pedestrians who have no rules. Some roads are full of pot holes as well. Petrol is cheap. Parking is 2k rupiah for as Long as u want, n free if no one collects from u. Malls go by hour
But as some Brothers pointed out, unless u are staying here, it is not worth it. You need a to maintain it as well. Or let someone use it. In the Long run, it is cheaper n better to get a taxi if u are hear for a few days a month

That means, I dont need to get AAS IDP for driving in Asian.
As my DL is in English :D
Yes, that's right. But as the IDP is not expensive, I would get one to prevent any sort of 'Murphy's Law" moment.

Yes, that's right. But as the IDP is not expensive, I would get one to prevent any sort of 'Murphy's Law" moment.
the question is why waste time to get a international driving licence, when you know that our licence is valid in most countries except you also travel to those that do not accept our driving licence. most countries that do not accept our licence are also left hand drive in which i don't even want to drive.
Even with international driving licence 'Murphy's Law" moment can happen. They will try to said they don't understand what is written.
I am talking base on my experience, more then 10 years of travelling to almost all major islands in indonesia. When stop by any police or govt. agency, I just provided my local license and if anyone try to be funny, I just show them hard copy of the following.

Apparently, nobody here is worried because lots of people in Indonesia drives "wild" and without insurance? Am I the only one??
If I own the car I am driving and someone hits me, in many cases there will be ZERO chance to get a refund. More than the standard "maintaining cost". :eek:

Bros, super newbie to the Batam scene here seeking advise. I will be travelling solo to Batam for 2d1n, not my first time there but would be my first cheonging in the area. Would like to seek recommendation for spa that offer full service on top of the massage as I would prefer to settle everything in the same place in the span of a few hours. I kinda don't want to book a girl and bring her out, etc.
Understand from bro nono's guide and posts that staying at Formosa and engaging Kings may be a good start but I would love staying at BCC as A2 foodcourt and BCS mall is just next door so if there are any other locations that can be recommended, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advanced!

Remember once upon a time in one (or few) of my older summaries, I brought few guys to Batam,beside staying in Formosa,we also stayed in Da Vienna as well. It was my usual practice to go "shopping" at multiple booking joints 1st,and after we picked and paid for our girls,we don't immediately have our girls send to our respective rooms.
The girls will all be picked up by our full day driver and be send to MY room as all of us will be waiting there. Have some small talk in MY room with each other before going back to our respective rooms. Some of those guys even ordered 2 girls,becos it only cost them between 600k to 800k each for overnight.
So,what I am trying to say is YES, Da Vienna Boutique hotel allows few person to go up to just one single hotel room. Or at least, myself and/or the taxi driver has not been stopped by the Da Vienna hotel staffs before. ;)

Very useful information! Thank you for replying my question! (although it was in a different post, not in the post you replied today)
By the way, I will be back to Batam, but not before this December, and with a friend who is eager to explore. Basically, I have been showing him the photos of some of my girlfriends in Batam for years, and over all this time the amount of mouthwatering he has leaked must have been huge.
Now, he hopes to experience at least some of that fun. The problem is that he is not a night owl as me, and I guess that should he step into Newton he would be shocked to hell and run away.
I don't know how to make him entertained, except taking him to some bar in Kampung Bule, to NoName if it is not dead as I have seen it this year, out for dinner with maybe some of my girls, and of course a tour of massage places for short term (I exclude he would like to book a girl for overnight, with language barrier and also the problem of being locked with one girl, while I go out having fun all night). Probably, an evening at Permata Indah with all those sexy girls around will be an highlight of his holidays.
He booked already Da Vienna :eek: :eek:
I told him that there is no need to book the hotel with so much advance, but he likes to do everything as soon as possible.
I think I will stay again in Formosa. Same price as Da Vienna, older room etc, BUT:
1) fond memories of many years in Formosa are the essence of Batam, for me;
2) the bed for 3 is a unique asset for me. The beds in Da Vienna cannot keep more than 2 persons.

Never been to Morning Bakery before,so not too sure where it is. The shop (Namii) is on the same row where Ocean is located (Ocean is closed),along Wei Wei sea food restaurant stretch of road where one can see it if they are on their way going back to Singapore, via Harbour Bay. There is also another massage shop just 1 min walk away from Namii too,called Loy Krathong.

Short FR on a trip that's still in progress...
Arrived in Batam Centre at about 8:40 pm. Changed $250 at 9,800. It's much lower than the 9,850 I got a week ago. But I was surprised to see XE showing 9,794 when I checked after making the money change.
Took an ojet to BCS and had dinner at DePenyetz. Do they have branches in Singapore as they claimed on their menu? Anyway, nice affordable food. Watched American Assassin. Nice show.
Started my Saturday with lunch at Biscotti at Hans Inn. Then walked in search for my companion of the night. By then, it was already 1pm. Probably a bit too late to start hunting on Saturday.
First stop is Sri Kandi. Only have 5 girls left, including a 17 years old. Very tempted to take her but Mami those to budge at the 1.5 juta booking price. Even with driver commission gets me a 100k discount.
At my next stop, more girls available. Including 2 familiar faces. I took one of the familiar face (ie I booked her before, almost a year ago). Paid 1.2 juta for her. And ask for her to get to my room at 5 pm as I wanted to have massage first, done at PAS Massage. Quite expensive. 180k for 90 mins. But they are nearest to my hotel. And even more expensive when asked about HJ. Asked for 300k with autoroam. Nah, I had a gorgeous girl coming to my room. So, didn't take it up.
Girl came at 5pm. Had a brief chat since our last booking. I had taken other girls from that joint and even attended her birthday once. Only today then I realized she's just 19 years old. Had a great session with her. Lots of things that she didn't allow before, I had it this time. Thanks to all the guys that booked her after my last session with her. Guessed they taught her well.
It's then sleep until midnight when I woke her up for food since we did not have dinner.
TBC.

So, seeing that we are both full from the makan, we watched Amazing Race Asia Edition together.
Speaking of makan, I was to specially mention this app, GoJek. It's our version of Uber. Except that instead of private cars, you get motor taxi. And instead of UberEat, you get GoFood. That's how I get to enjoy nasi briyani and my girl had ayam penyet for midnight dinner. Plus 1.5L bottle Coke. All for less than $15. This might seem expensive, but we didn't have to step out of our room. So, it's trading money for convenience.
After Amazing Race ended, we had some small chat and it's only now that I realize that today is her first day back at work after going back kampung in August. No wonder my bed was all wet spots after our session this afternoon and most of the spots that I foreplayed her seems extra sensitive to her.
And, we had another session. This time, I tongued her at different spots of my bed, and I wasn't disappointed with the wet spots. LOL.. will upload the photos tomorrow when I get back to Sg.
Now, is bed time.

Woke up about 6 am plus and she'd already wash up and dress up, ready to go back. Initially wanted to ask for 1 more round, but in view that we did it quite late last night, I just forget about it.
Laze around, searching WeChat for FL but seems like most still sleeping. Even my regular is out of town,in kumpong. Forget the idea of calling FL since checking out of hotel at 12 pm. Had my lunch at City Walk Japanese Restaurant. While having my lunch, called up Venus, asked the GRO to book for me a petite masseuse who is able to do strong massage. Little did I know that the one she booked for me is one that I had before but she was sick today, though she is still working. Nothing to shout about the session. She's sick, which means all I had is the standard package as she's not in the mood of upselling me. She even rejected me when I asked tompay for taking off her clothes and autoroaming.
Not knowing what went wrong, I just pray that I climax soon. Just go through the process, what to do. At least I feel the songness of cumming. I say no when she offered to help me with shower.
After my shower, had a talk with her and only then I knew that she's sick. And halfway through my massage, she went off to take her medicine. No wonder... I had a vastly different first session few months back.
Anyway, for her effort, I gave her 50k tips. Got her number this time and left 3/4 satisfied.
Proceeded to have dinner at Mega Mall and home sweet home.
End. If anyone enjoyed my FR, please consider upping my points. Thanks.

Very useful information! Thank you for replying my question! (although it was in a different post, not in the post you replied today)
I believe most Batam hotels will not stop guest from bringing more than 1 friend to their room. I have not heard guest's friend being chase out of the room to date. I can even called multiple massage ladies into my hotel room, but hotel receptionist will usually call me 1st to confirm if I was expecting "other guest".
By the way, I will be back to Batam, but not before this December, and with a friend who is eager to explore. Basically, I have been showing him the photos of some of my girlfriends in Batam for years, and over all this time the amount of mouthwatering he has leaked must have been huge.
Yes,yes...those photos,they were indeed appealing. Many were model standard,hehehe...sorry,i wet your room's floor from with all the drooling while looking at them the last time,hehehe...
Now, he hopes to experience at least some of that fun. The problem is that he is not a night owl as me, and I guess that should he step into Newton he would be shocked to hell and run away.
Is your friend gonna stay as many nights like you often did in Batam?
Your schedule could go something like this :
1st day : Kampong Bule
2nd day : Newton
3rd day : Pacific
4th day : goes around joints,shopping,massage, etc
5th day : Own time own target
6th day : Own time own target
7th day : anything goes
Usually during the 1st 2 days,i will try to get newbie to familiarize with the surrounding,eg provision shops,eateries etc. Then its war time,hehehe...mapping and scaling out the area and let them roam on their own.
I don't know how to make him entertained, except taking him to some bar in Kampung Bule, to NoName if it is not dead as I have seen it this year, out for dinner with maybe some of my girls, and of course a tour of massage places for short term (I exclude he would like to book a girl for overnight, with language barrier and also the problem of being locked with one girl, while I go out having fun all night). Probably, an evening at Permata Indah with all those sexy girls around will be an highlight of his holidays.
I think the bars in Kampong Bule would be good to go from Friday onward (weekends). And if time allows,maybe can bring your friend once there on one of a weekday,at least he gets to compare the same place in different parts of the same week.
Batam is definitely not all about just sleep,eat,fuck...hehehe...
He booked already Da Vienna
I told him that there is no need to book the hotel with so much advance, but he likes to do everything as soon as possible.
Actually certain rooms like the Deluxe King or the junior suite are harder to get in Da Vienna. They also provide free pick up service but I don't know if the service would still be there by the date you guys reached Batam.
There is also a late night lounge at the hotel itself for plan B in case there is any "all else fail situation" for your friend,called something like Barletta (Formosa wise would be its KTV). Behind the building across the road of Da Vienna would be Windsor Food court and Permata Indah is just at the roundabout,hehehe...
Just to add,3 or 4 days before the trip,he can always cancel/change the hotel booking (most website allows that).
I think I will stay again in Formosa. Same price as Da Vienna, older room etc, BUT:
1) fond memories of many years in Formosa are the essence of Batam, for me;
2) the bed for 3 is a unique asset for me. The beds in Da Vienna cannot keep more than 2 persons.
Sept trip staying in Formosa has been quite a bit of a disappointment due to those "hotel event" but turning a bad situation into something acceptable for myself is something I am proud to do.
Before the trip....
1. I emailed to book a room,they said my certain room has been taken,and there are no more of those certain rooms that I am looking for. They recommend Junior Suite and Executive suite,i asked them "How much?"...no reply for 2 days.
2. I send them an email asking the same question again,how much were the Junior Suite and Executive room,and I ask them another question.How can there be no more those "certain room type" that I wish to book when their original website still allows me to book that "certain room".
Does it mean if I use my credit card to book a room from your website (Formosa website),and when I reach your hotel,i cannot be guaranteed a room? (becos in their initial 1st email reply to me,i was told no more of those "certain room") AGAIN,there's no reply from them.
(I blame it on their new staffs,their management staffs too)
My later solution, i booked an executive room at 950k for weekday and 1 juta for weekend....and paid 540k rupiah the "certain room" price,yet staying in the executive room. Silver membership entitles me 2 of such FREE upgrades per year. (4 for Gold membership,if I don't remember wrong,but I already turn it unlimited since silver card onward,hehehe...)
In this trip,i got to learn more of how formosa runs their hotel business and this trip's knowledge and experience can be used to put myself in a better advantage in my batam days to come,hehehe...pay the price of 1 grape and get an apple in return.
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/13/tAFyK.gif
PS : I have to be honest here,before the actual trip i was feeling kind of fuck up,thanks to formosa's messed up arrangement.
PS: what the hell do you want to prepare for CNY2018 WITH 3 MONTHS ADVANCE??:confused:
Its actually 4 months in advance. I said,i start preparing the CNY 2018 trip next month,which will be Oct 2017,and CNY eve is on 15th Feb 2018.
I learned my lesson during my very 1st CNY Batam trip 3 over years ago and I have no plans to repeat my mistake/s again. I tried to book a room in Formosa around 3 weeks beforehand,not only were there little room,they cost way more. There was this CNY summary where I recorded that a Deluxe room in Formosa from Agoda cost as high S$426. A basic room in Harris Resort cost more than S$1k...and that was all during CNY period. Not forgetting the girls will cost as high as 50% more, the Indian and Bangladeshi competitors who are willing to pay double price etc etc...
Hehehe...I am not about to make similar mistake/s,hence I record things I wish to remember in my trip summaries. In the case of CNY Batam trip,early preparation is my solution.
http://tryimg.com/8/2017/09/13/tADTb.gif
CNY has been one of my main reason why i chose Batam over other countries.

Yes,there is delivery charge. After all, they are making a living.
Here's an example of an order. Ordered Nasi Briyani + bread from Murtabak Har at Nagoya Cross Junction to Hans Inn.
Delivery is 12,000 which is $1+. Cheap for the convenience, in my opinion.

Sept trip staying in Formosa has been quite a bit of a disappointment due to those "hotel event" but turning a bad situation into something acceptable for myself is something I am proud to do.
Before the trip....
1. I emailed to book a room,they said my certain room has been taken,and there are no more of those certain rooms that I am looking for. They recommend Junior Suite and Executive suite,i asked them "How much?"...no reply for 2 days.
2. I send them an email asking the same question again,how much were the Junior Suite and Executive room,and I ask them another question.How can there be no more those "certain room type" that I wish to book when their original website still allows me to book that "certain room".
Does it mean if I use my credit card to book a room from your website (Formosa website),and when I reach your hotel,i cannot be guaranteed a room? (becos in their initial 1st email reply to me,i was told no more of those "certain room") AGAIN,there's no reply from them.
(I blame it on their new staffs,their management staffs too)
My later solution, i booked an executive room at 950k for weekday and 1 juta for weekend....and paid 540k rupiah the "certain room" price,yet staying in the executive room. Silver membership entitles me 2 of such FREE upgrades per year. (4 for Gold membership,if I don't remember wrong,but I already turn it unlimited since silver card onward,hehehe...)
In this trip,i got to learn more of how formosa runs their hotel business and this trip's knowledge and experience can be used to put myself in a better advantage in my batam days to come,hehehe...pay the price of 1 grape and get an apple in return.
Get used 2 it bro,nwaday after those older staffs gone,the new ones standard all drop into longkang....lol.
4 u is,every incident is an opportunity,for others cld b disaster. :p

No, it's not discount. It's payment via GoPay (similar to GrabPay by Grab). Then, the balance paid by cash.
