Woah! Till today i have been thinking that Batam is bigger than Sillypore in terms of island size. I am guessing after many decades of land reclamation from the side of Sillypore,it has finally grown bigger...and bigger.
Pace of life in Batam is also exceptionally slow as compare to sillypore...i used to go shopping with the girl i book a few times,they kept complaining i walk very fast...lol...and i do understand that part as this is their lifestyle and they are also high heels,hehehe... So nowaday,i kind of quit bringing the girls out or if needed to,buy them a pair of low-heel shoe....lol. Or they can just stay in hotel room where i will i leave some money to allow them to eat all they need to when i am out touring,then next morning bye bye...

Sigh, those were the days. Everything sweet cheap!

The only memory i have on Suharto are those days when my parents worked in Jakarta when i am still a kid and the many stamps i collected from my parents letters that was addressed to me which all has this Suharto's face on it....lol.
During then,if i don't remember wrongly,my parents ever told me that each 2 storey semi-d house in Jakarta cost around 3 to 4 Juta. Those were the days when i get to live there for a month or 2 (school vocation/holiday) and watching Cantonese Serial Drama still must put on ear phone for fear that the sound of the TV may alert the indo-authority (Chinese articles was banned then).
The exchange rate was 1250/SGD if i don't remember wrong,the 100k indo notes was not invented and Suharto's Japanese wife's is still alive,public phone call from phone booth cost 50-100 rupiah within the country....donkey years,i guess...lol

VIP room - 110k for 1 hr - massage, body scrub (lulur) and mandi susu (spa)
VIP room - 125k for 1.5 hr - massage, body scrub (lulur) and mandi susu (spa)
VIP room - 150k for 2 hr - massage, body scrub (lulur) and mandi susu (spa)
HJ was about 100k-150k with roaming boobs OR FJ package 300k charge separately

To be honest,it is a true honour for me to have a senior Batam bro like yourself who are willing to guide a newbie like myself.Hope i didn't bring you too much trouble or disturb your original Batam trip plan.
My most sincere thanks to you.
