Preferably nearby.

I don't like it and I find it too expensive for the value provided, but 99% of "upper-class" girls in Batam LOVE to be invited to DE PATROS, on the sea at Harbour Bay. Dimmed light, nice atmosphere, .... Perfect for romance.

It happened me many times, when I asked "where could we go tonight for dinner?" to hear back "De Patros!". Of course, after I tried it once, I always declined the proposal. I prefer Wei Wei if I want to spend money to eat at Harbour Bay. But they love it...
In short: the place is considered very classy; take there a girl if you want to impress her and she is somehow important for you.

But if a girl offers anything below 200k/pop,that I may start to smell something not quite right.

Good suggestion. There are wechat scams in batam too.

31st Batam Trip
(on 3rd Aug to 5th Aug)

In reference to my 30th Batam Trip

This trip starts off with a certain phobia of my last Batam trip which wasnt as good as I was expecting it to be. But well,as always,it turn out better...or the least better than the last one. I went solo on this one and linked up with a few bros who has been relatively quite regular to Batam.

The usual 1st thing I normally do after stepping out of the custom will be to head to my pre-booked hotel, head to the money changer to turned myself into a millionaire before heading for brunch. Then I went to search for this place called Sri Kandy...

(edited photo below was extracted from bro BFOMF5 posting)

I do not have plans to take any girls from there yet but just to go there to look look see see becos I already have other plans. This place during the early noon has got some of the better girls ranging from 1 million rupiah to 1.2 rupiah. In my opinion,all 6 of them in it has a minimum 7/10 look. The mami there told me all the girls were not there in full force yet and most were getting ready to come down. No time to sit around this time round to wait for them,so I left after 10 mins.

And there is another massage shop called something like Sweet Massage just about 30 steps nearly opposite this Sri Kandy Massage. I have pass by this place quite a few times, perhaps in my next trip I will take more time to get a closer look into it. (I wasn't exactly keen on massage places around the Utama belt area since to me, its getting more expensive)

Next place I head to was the 'joint' almost behind New Berry. Hmm...looks like they have quite a few girls there,hehehe...not bad as most of these very young innocent-looking girls were at 800k to 1.2 million rupiah. Didn't pick anyone from there either and head to Permata Indah to look for Bunga. Upon stepping in,papi/mami can tell me how good and how good their girls were,hehehe...I suan them a bit jokingly that nowadays their girls were all like Cinderalla,hehehe...and their girls were more like Snow Red (illustration of Snow White) instead...always "lai ang" during or after midnight. Didn't have anyone in mind and before I left,i reminded the papi that if their girls keep playing Snow Red game (excuse used to avoid sex from paying customers),they will eventually lose all new potentials and regular customers becos people knows and words do spread around.

Next stop was to head to Gold Bird. Not bad,all their previous girls were back from Hari Raya holiday and I was surprise to see a handful of new younger girls too....and a few were at 19 with a GND-look. I wasn't serve by A-dick-son this time round (quite surprise not to see him actually),but a Chinese mami came by who keep pushing me to one of the two 19 year old there,telling me their service is how good and how good,hehehe...I didn't take any of them but took a 22 year old semi SYT at 1 million rupiah for the 1st night and 900k for the 2nd night (I didn't decide to extend until next morning).

The semi SYT just came back from her Hari Raya Holiday on 1st Aug,start work on 2nd Aug and I happen to be her 1st customer since she came back. Anyway,i tell mami and her that my driver will come to pick the girl in the later noon. Next stop,becos I forget to bring a mouse for my laptop,i head over to a shop beside Holiday Hotel to buy one.

It cost me 35k...not bad a price for a simple basic mouse. My original retractable mouse was due for EOL (end-of-life),and I was glad I forget to bring it with me.

Next trip,i am likely to visit this shop where I bought my mouse again becos I have yet to completely explore the whole shop yet. No,i didn't take any photos of the shop front but its just beside Holiday hotel, so it wont be difficult to find them again. They seems to be selling a lot of PC hardware but I still have a feeling that DC mall would be a cheaper option. Nonetheless,due to the convenience of it all,i may likely frequent this place for my future hotel room set-up,hehehe...

...continue to page 2

[nono1973]

I was glad the beginning of my 31st trip starts out smoothly,so after I am cleared off with everything I think I need to do,i head over to Tua Pek Kong to pray a little before heading back to room to await my girl.

The video wasn't taken by me but I cut it out from some website...to do some testing on what is to come for my future trip summary, hehehe...hope one day I can conquer all the problems I am facing on my own summary now,hehehe...and I pray to Tua Pek Kong in hope that this Batam trip will be a smooth and good one. And I was glad at the end of it all, it did.

At the later noon,my girl arrived,had a pop 1st before heading to get a hair cut at X-Salon...but well, my hair stylish wasn't in and so I head for a massage not-in-utama area nor BCS area before heading for dinner at A2 food court w/o my girl.

Initially was planning to go for the movie Suicide Squad at Harbour Bay Mall but Blitz theater has not screen that movie yet (during then only BCS,Nagoya Hill Mall and Mega Mall is screening it).

So I forgo watching the movie and went ahead to do "other stuffs" with my girl. I learn from her that from Batam to her hometown actually took 19 hours to reach even when she travel by plane. The bus journey were the one that took the bulk of the time.

It was OTOT all the way until around midnight,i called in massage service for myself and my girl at 90k/hour (multiply by 2 pax). The rest of the overall evening till next morning was satisfactory enough which makes me decide to extend her service for another night the next morning where I will pay her 900k (bargained with her) whereby she will bring to her joint with my room key and comes back later on her own before 2pm. Quite justifiable since she left after 1030am. At this point,do note there was zero tipping. However I did pass her 100k for her lunch and her transportation to go and come back later.

I called for an 1.5 hour foot reflexology, took a short nap thereafter before being awaken by some fingers teasing my little bro to have special service. I took it at 200k (with full strip and full roaming),rest a bit and then extend another hour of full body massage (after the special was done) with the massage girl still in complete nude.

After getting all body-maintenance done,head for brunch at Ibu joko. I goes back to room for a bit before heading over to Nagoya Citywalk Mall to make a spare pair of glasses (in case one day my current one gives way).

Cost me a whopping 825k rupiah with all the frame and lenses in. I remember the last time I made my glasses in China (ages ago) only cost me about S$30 a pair,hehehe...of course the quality of this one (the frame) I made was clearly of a better quality. Comparable with the S$50 a pair which I am wearing today,also got it from China. (sorry,i have the habit of making comparison base on quality and pricing from different countries which sells things cheaper) I used to be an optician at a very young age,so when it comes to spectacle quality, I do know what I am after (as usual,i look for best of everything in but aim for low low price).

My original plan was to make 2 pairs if they are cheap enough but well...it isn't.

Grab my favorite burger in one of the push-cart-look-alike shops there....

I took the Chicken Burger with egg for 16k....and while eating, I continue to shop around that area. Hehehe...the burger were in such a large portion. Believe me,for someone who could take in 3 to 4 plates of rice in a meal,and when I say its in large portion,it is REALLY LARGE enough,hehehe...

...continue to page 3

[nono1973]

Now,for the next part of the summary will be more onto my walk in Nagoya City Walk,a less populated place in Batam where I believe even the stupidest of all terrorist cannot be bothered to step into...its a weekday I was there,and the whole mall was hell of a ghost town.

Just look at how quiet this place is even during the day (last time i was there was night time),it a video I took in my recent trip and had it convert into animation to better tell you how the place is like :

How fun it would be to be the ONLY ONE (or the only group of people) playing with all their facilities in this place,hehehe...

No,not going to repeat or elaborate much on the Fun World itself as I already had a write out on this in my last trip with the booking girlsss. So in this summary,it is going to be more on the 3D Art Museum...and at the entrance of 3D Art Museum...there's a signage that state the price for entry...wow! So expensive! Apparently,its carrot pricing when locals were charge 80k per entry and tourist were charge 150k rupiah. Too expensive for me,so I didn't enter....

It seems like this 3D museum thingy was quite a big event and that it would take some big organization to actually bring this event in to Batam. Now,make a guess who were these organization?

See,these are the bigger hotels that brings this thing in. No wonder its so expensive (in Batam term) and with that pricing,they really took tourist as carrot. But then again,w/o these big organization,Batam wouldn't have had their Indonesia 1st 3D Museum present to us here...

Don't worry,tho I didn't pay to get in to the museum,i have ways to get in there to look at their exhibits for FREE,hehehe....sorry for being stingy,but I am just the type of person that if I am stuck on a straight route,i will try to work around it....hehehe...whole idea is, NEVER GIVE UP....keep reading on....

...continue to page 4

[nono1973]

Hehehe...i was too poor to pay for the entrance (ok I admit, i am stingy,hehehe...) So my next alternative will be to take the escalator up to the 3rd floor of this place to have a full view of their exhibits,hehehe...

All their exhibits were practically collected below and believe me,its not worth paying 150k rupiah to look at these 'stuffs' unless you are a selfie-craze. I didn't like taking photos and photography is definitely not one of my strong point in real life. And the reason for all the photos here was becos I was trying to convey a message (to myself) and I have always hope to make things simple and easy to understand for those who reads it. I hope also to bring what I physical see during my trip into a reader's view too (i am still working on it). An easily understandable summary gives me a clearer picture of the past event of the trip and it also help me to keep record of the fond memories I had as well as the not to make the mistakes I made before.

(I constantly need to refer back to my own summary, so I need to make it easily understandable)

Ok,ok...enough talk...scroll down to take a look...

Even if you were to go there to look at those exhibits in person,i believe you wouldn't be missing much from the above photo,hehehe...see, super stingy me bypass paying the entrance fee by heading to the 3rd floor of the building and view all these exhibits for FREE!

In case no one realize,Fun World was on the ground floor,and the 3D Museum was on the 2nd. I took those photos above from the 3rd floor of Nagoya City Walk Mall. If the organizer were to down their price to about 50k rupiah,i may even consider bringing the booking/massage girls to go there take seflie,hehehe... (most Indonesia girls seems to have an addiction of taking their own photos)

Below is a video news/intro on this 3D Art Museum end of last year when it 1st started....

I have a thought at this point,were they even able to cover the cost of the staffs working there? For those who wish to visit this place,better hurry before it is closed since they have been having this 3D Art Museum thingy for quite a while already and it sure doesnt look like its a sustainable business.

After all the walk "around" in the 3D Museum,i continue to explore this place...

..I head over to J.Co to da bao (aka buy back) something back to hotel to eat as I assume my girl would be coming back to my room soon. (just in case she decide to save the lunch money I gave her earlier and choose not to spend on her lunch)

Think I am done with almost all the things I need to do in Citywalk but I will need to come back to the same place to collect my specs the next day. Until then,i will be back again...which I have more to share on this place. I came over to Citywalk mainly for a hair cut at V salon since my special X-Salon hairdresser isn't in and then also to make a pair of spare glasses.

All mission accomplished but the Citywalk tour is far from over becos i still need to come back the next day to collect my prescription glasses,hehehe...

Before I head back to hotel room,i went over to DC Mall to grab a wireless port...I have work to do back in the room,hehehe...

More on the next page.

...continue to page 5

[nono1973]

Before i even reach DC Mall...oh well...i chance upon some street performers who was conjuring some indonesia unknown called the Pochong to have it possess a man.

(in case no one notice,DC Mall is just right beside where they perform)

Believe me,i know this is a bluff...but the fact i stood there for more than an hour to watch the street performers perform shows that the show was pretty good. And i think the performers did a pretty good job.

Honestly,this summary is going to be quite long with me just trying to explain most part of their performance. Please keep in mind that i do not understand their language and that there is a need for me to see most part of the show before i can understand what they were doing. And its broad daylight of a late afternoon with the sun still up in the sky.

Lets move nearer to have a closer look,hehehe...

1st performance,he release the top part of the milky-looking sack of bag holding the man in it which was known to have been possess by a spirit of a pochong. (please note that the man in the bag was also being tied up from the inside by many ropes)

The next thing is he gets some help from one the audience to tie the milky-looking sack of bag from the outisde...

...and have him move closer to the tent and the supposing altar of the Pochong Spirit.

After which,the magician aka performer chanted something for a min or so and begin to move the tent-like looking thing (which is just beside the man in that sack) over to the man in the milky-looking sack....

...continue to the next post...

...continue to page 6

[nono1973]

The magician simply walked over to the tent and pull out the milky-looking white sack from the tent...

...and then have it shown to the man who tied it. I believe he is asking the man which is supposingly an audience in the crowd if its the same knot he tied on the sack. Do note that the milky-white sack has been pulled out with the knot still intact to the sack.

For the next performance,its the shirt changing performance....the man in the milky-white sack has been unveil from the tent and do note that he is being tied up since the beginning of the show....and also do TAKE NOTE of the colour the the shirt the man wore. It is in RED now.

The magician aka performer is going to change his shirt,a Red one to a black one while still being tied up...

...and again,he the tent is used to cover....

The usual thing is ,the chanting i couldnt really understand....
