AhLong was burning jossstick in front.
Hehehe...all booking joint and massage opened. But price as usual, super ultra high...hear that some joint's overnight booking price went above 2 juta a night.

Utama hotel area all hotels fully booked (except S Hotel), just like BCS mall area Hotel (except Penuin Hotel).

J8 dead,
98 hv Singer/DJ/Firework 50% full.
Nagoya FC See Car park 80% full.
Astro Food court closed. BCS mall 90% shop opened, but quiet inside. Perhaps due to the timing i was there.

A2 was 110% full both the sheltered area and non-sheltered area.

Money changer rate in BCS Mall inside and outside were at 9800/SGD. Seems like 70% of money changer in Batam all close shop.

It sure is.

Utama area, mostly Singapore Malays there.

BCS area, mostly Singapore Chinese.

Kampong Bule area, mostly educated Singaporean ("eat french fries" Singaporean aka fake ang moh).

So sad to see Sunboss close this CNY at Citywalk Mall this year. Lucky Plaza opened but 50% shops closed.

Will start hitting temples from today onward.

Its the 2nd day of CNY 2020 today.

Wait a second, a lot of food stalls ran out of certain type of food yesterday (1st day of CNY by 6pm, even Mcdonald and KFCs too). How i know? Becos i tried to order Grab Food and this is the 1st of Grab Food experience that i have 3 orders cancelled due to lack of my favourite food i am looking for. And i highly doubt they can replenish those food today.

Gonna go with no pork day today.

My late abalone supper yesterday evening.


Mixed with vegetarian food from the hotel and some Rosella tea.

Its the 1st time my girl tried abalone ,quite unreceptive at 1st but later end up fighting with me on the last piece from the can! Even ask me to buy her a can the next time round.

Maybe in future can consider start selling abalone in Batam,hehehe...

Saw in some online market place that Batam Formosa Hotel is selling off its property for S$13 million.


Maybe later can go check with their management staffs if its true.

Just sharing.
