Looks like Formosa Hotel is trying to charge me 680k a night for a room that i used to be paying 460k for....hmm...i think i can take back what i say above about being pissed off becos i didnt. When faced with a challenge,there are often choices that i have to make,throw a tantrum and gets angry about it...


...which i still eventually still wont get my problem solved...it sets me thinking now,what can i do about it? Is there a solution to my own problem...with enough time and my much earlier preparation foreseeing issues before it physically happens,i can plan and conquer the likely would-be hiccups better.

Should i use plan B or plan C to solve my problem. Hmm...i think i may engage both plan B and plan C in one go to solve my problem once and for all ,for both my most current upcoming trip as well as the one on CNY 2017. This is going to be interesting,hehehe...but then again,i am already prepared that my coming Dec Batam trip wont be good (or not as good as my previous). I shall use it to build up my CNY 2017 trip then.

The need to tread extra carefully in my upcoming trip is imminent. Accommodation cost likely going to go up for me ,but luckily i still have my joker card (free room voucher) to offset most of the difference. No,i wont be paying 680k per night...i will still have to pay a little higher price,adding my CNY 2017 night after using my joker card to offset.

Scene 1 -

680k x 7 nights = 4760k versus 460k x 7 nights = 3220k

I will lost 1540k in scene 1.

Scene 2 -

Scene 2,i can go for :

575k x 6 nights = 3450k (after minus-ing voucher 1 night) versus 460x 7 nights = 3220k

I still lost 230k in scene 2.

Hmm....thats plan C.

___________________________

Plan B is of course to pay 600k nett to stay in Da Vienna Junior Suite or 670k at Biz's Junior suite (both were the luxury 1 room 1 hall kind of room),maybe even 380k in Utama hotel. But well...hehehe...

I suddenly realize i actually hatched a plan D from my current post,hehehe...staying in Formosa for the same 460k price,hehehe...i think my 35th Batam trip summary is going to be more on Batam accommodation price hunt,hehehe... remember my "chance card" from the few free room upgrades as a silver member? Hehehe...will i succeed? i will see when i reached Batam.


What does Apple really signifies? Hehehe...i enjoy paying S$0.50 (or lesser) for apples that cost S$1 (or more)...and i am talking about apples from the same tree. i cannot do that in Sillypore,but in Batam...well...amazing Batam!

Sorry,i am now talking to myself again and maybe got a bit carried away. I was looking for a solution to my most current problem,instead of putting those 'friendly staff/s' in formosa hotel and myself in a difficult position. I plan,i arrive and then i execute my plan...my RPG in Batam.

(i do have friends currently in Batam as i am typing this post,but i chose not to trouble them to help me book rooms)
