I think their food is a little off my budget (as an everyday food) and they were located in the middle of places that sells cheap and good food. Their customer core were manly those who were looking for ambiance and those who sit around there for some time,hehehe...eg studying etc. Moreover,their food were not cheap either.

I have impromptu trips too. I still plan them but short,quick and sharp w/o time wasted,hehehe....if i apply leave on weekdays to go Batam,what happen to my weekend and public holiday off then? i use it to go for 2D1N quickie in Batam at times. i mean in Sillypore,if i am horny,if i go massage shop also need to spend about S$50 + S$120 FJ (excluding transportation) and its like only 1 hour of "dont know good time or bad time". S$200 to spend in Batam is definitely more well spend than in Sillypore.

Wow! Sound like some serious sms exchange you got there,hehehe....think you are way past that stage of getting KC or seh nai by them (the girls). Reminds me of some TV drama scene where the pros would always say...

亲爱的,小倩想你了。。。怎么那么久都没来找我了。。。
(Darling,xiaoqian miss you very much...how come so long also never come look for me...)

Hehehe...the cheonging scene all over the world never change in this aspect. Its like a gigantic stage where we put ourselves on it to play the game of throne (we were all on that throne) over and over again.The wise will be in control of their big head,knowing when to step in and step out of the stage at the right time. The not-so-wise will be trapped by the illusions of it all and never returned to the real world until they got drained try,hehehe...

Reminds me when i was a kid. To date,i have not own any Polo shirt from Indonesia. But i do own a factory-load of apparels from brands like Asics and Adidas becos the manufacture plant serving some europe/america brand still exist in Indonesia till today. The thing is,it may be sold in Indonesia at about S$10 (plus minus) but when it reaches European countries,its likely to be more than triple the amount.

One of the most ironical part is,the factory that produce brands like Adidas/Asics etc also produce other local never-heard-before-brand apparel that i see selling in Indonesia,hehehe...so the apparels made in Indonesia isnt necessary not as good as those made elsewhere in the world. My parents used to work in these industries,so am speaking base on what i understand from them and they do keep in contact with their ex colleagues.

(note : i am no expert in this but my parents kind of swears by made in Indonesia products over those Made in China ones,especially on sports apparels)

Btw, I went to the Factory Outlet shop at BCS area before......looks more like tourist trap to me.

On another note, I just arrived back after an impromptu trip to the lovely island.
This is the first time I went on weekday.....Mon n Tues.....n I probably understand why Bro Nono went on Wed usually.
I applied annual leave to go Batam on weekdays when my off days were all on weekends (public holidays too). The next revolution may be Nono going on weekends and cut down on going on weekdays,hehehe...
