Good sharing bro,which reminds me that anyone can stay in any hotels away from most of the cheonging places but...their transportation from point to point and their capability to navigate will be one of their KEY issue to find the things they are looking for in Batam.

Like in an RPG game,one move faster when they are riding on a vehicle than walking. If the location is too far out,it simply takes a longer time to walk, or would I rather ride?

Solution is simple and yet not so much known to most.

Underworld is cool....hehehe....I wouldn't mind watching it another time tho.

In almost a year ago during Dec 2015,the exchange when I got to Batam and the exchange rate was 9870/SGD to 9960/SGD becos i was there for 2 nights.

See,i told you I kept a record of important stuffs as if it was like my log book (or diary),hehehe...so I can always reference back when I find it a need to.

Not forgetting last year Dec and this year Dec,i actually visited the same temple. I have a blessed year,and still counting my blessing,hence i need to return the favor. Kind of like thanks giving. Also learning to appreiate the good things around me.

I also visited Tua Pek Kong,and I visited it twice. Once during my 2nd day Batam trip,and once more on the 4th day,i visited it once more.

And, I'm not even her customer in the first place. As I'm waiting in the main hall, she was frantically calling out to her friend to come down meet me. Alas.... She is having her shower. At the same time, I notice a sweet smiling girl sitting beside her. From the way she's sitting, I didn't realize how small size she is. Checked with mami and was told that she's a 1.4 juta booking. Hmm.. at 1.4 juta, I might as well wait for my regular (albeit 1 year ago) where I'm almost guaranteed good service. Sensing that I'm almost hooked, she approached the girl and ask her if I can have her at a lower price. A further 100k discount and I'm off to the cashier.

Good to hear that you bargained down.

While getting changed, bro was telling me about the discount that this place has if you checked in during happy hour. You could stay until end of business hours and you will still be charged happy hour discount. Great, I thought to myself. Another affordable place for me to burn my lazy afternoon.

After a few more trips there,i probably drop that place off becos the place is about the same price as the one I went to previously. And since it is about the same price (cost just a little more tho) with the similar quality of girls,i may just stick to my regular spa places.

No matter how affordable. Left the pool and tried the sauna, steam room and then, the oxygen room, in that order. Nothing much to shout about for the sauna and steam room, but I enjoyed the oxygen room. The only place that has this is the Octopus spa, iirc.

One of their customer were complaining to me about the algae and it cause his skin to itch. Algae on some term is good for health (pun intended),but on the skin,it really depends,hehehe...a gentle reminder however, please do remember to wash off the algae (whether if algae exist) upon exiting the hot pool.

The algae reminds me of Enter Spa's 'sea monkeys',hehehe...no one I seen has used the hot pool and yet algae already existed in it. Or was it really sea monkeys? Hehehe...

O2 room is good,especially for those smokes,and those with breathing issues. Much often,i would see the oxygen producing machine in hospital's ICU for patients with cancers. And there are 2 of such machines in that O2 room,hehehe...Octopuss only has one. So they won Octopuss in that aspect.

At least a 7.5/10. The downer is... She won't open her clothes during the complimentary handjob, even when I upped the extra to 200k. Well, I still get to shoot my first load. Just that I saved 150k in tips.

This place has got no short of customers for now, so they (the girls) have the "financial capability" to 'Reject' their customers. I did a count,the girls get an average of 3 to 4 customers per day,hehehe...so if you are heading there on weekends/public holidays, then must really lower your ISO standard.

I dwelled....hehehe....tho i still not consider long enough...yet.

But, due to the timing we were there, most cooked food were not ready yet. Still, we managed to eat up to about 100k of food for 3 guys.

The 3 guys can really eat huh? Hehehe...

Brought us to A2 food court for our dinner. Fried prawn in floor, fried egg, fried chicken and vegetables plus drinks came up to about 200k. Nice and cheap meal.

Like I have said earlier,if one plans his way of travel well enough, he would have anticipated by staying in a hotel far away from the most basic amenities (food places, cheonging, shopping etc), the key of travelling from point A to be point B would be crucial.

I think your hotel is the 1st hotel that I knew of w/o ample taxi or ojek around. I believe that would tells you more about the hotel,hehehe...every hotel in Batam should be a good hotel,as long as i have the capability to find everything i need conveniently (with minimum effort).
