Nice flooring, very shiny-looking,hehehe...

Thx for the info. Hope the hotel in this mall is up soon.

Looking fwd to it.

The girls wn't be returning back so soon, smwhere around mid may.

Girls were 700k, whereby they come to me at abt 11pm,& if they leave earlier than that will need to pay shops extra 300k. That would then cost me 1 million rp, which is on me. Anything more will just be tips to them, which i happy & willingly give them as they 90% time provide me with above average service level.

That's overnite gals in those "SHOPS" i'm talking. So far over the last 7-8 years mongering in btm, haven't got a chance to meet gals who ruled 2 shots in my deal.

I'm also sharing my experience.

the other side ruko also hv a sports Massage.

Thx for sharing information, bro. Hope they one day move into the mall.

Once the mall's hotel is up, they have MP inside mall, it'd probably be another my-kind of wonderland there.

Movie's good,especially when u watch it in a good cinema! Thanos didn't JUST take out 50% of btm's SYT...lol,he did more, he wiped out half of the universe's living beings,which turns out to be smhow a good thing when resources were more well-distributed.

Thor's defeat & failure cause him to kill Thanos on sight which left a scar in his soul that turns him to become,well...like a failure.

Let's wait for hulk to become, world war Hulk.

Still prefer to stick to those few shops which are cheaper but provide top notch service like body-to-body, body-milk-to-body & baby-sitting-no-hand services.

Finally able to capture photo/s of Harbour Bay sea side when the tide goes up....

...and when the sea tide goes down. Its taken on different days tho.

(i now wonder who lives opposite it tho)

Place becomes like a swamp after the sea tide went down. Big difference on the 2 photos, but of the same place. There was no tide table for Harbour Bay, hence can only catch the photos on an 8 hours interval with some observation. Not so well-taken but i will do better next round,hehehe...

No wonder there are limited space by the bay to park the Horizon ferry. If its parked to close to shore, ferry might get grounded.

2 more days to ramadan...below links were some collective info,and especially the last link,meant for during traveling to Batam during Ramadan time.

Thank you for sharing, mind to share what time would the girls leave the next day (morning or noon?) ? I mean since if try to save money, most would try to get them at 700k rupiah to come at 11pm plus. The extra 300k rupiah were probably bar-fine or something like it?

And tips? How much did you need to tip?

Interesting, i read your recent FR, and you dont need to take taxis at all, you go there, girls get sent to you...hehehe...and you pay on the spot but need to go hotel lobby to pick them up. Right?

Guess you found your new way of fun in Batam,hehehe...

Very interesting indeed,hehehe...nowaday the girls in batam provide Baby Sitting service for men.

No need to elaborate, i can understand.

You are totally right, and it is very painful to recognize that.

I add that NoName is now CLOSED, maybe forever. Their business was too slow lately. No trace of the past glory. Yesterday Friday I went to check, and I found this sign saying that from 1st May it's TUTUP.

Golden Times seems over. A Gold Era came to end?
Now, the best pub in Batam is Square, but opportunities there are not as good as in the old NN.

The tide times are important not only for ferry and boat navigation, but also for those who plan eating at Harbour Bay
I went to Wei Wei to have dinner two nights ago with my two friends, and the bad smell was unbearable. We had to sit well inside, and not on the limit.

I have reached Gold Level at Formosa! Quite an achievement for someone who lives 10,000 km away and not at one ferry ride distance.
It's not Marriott, but I am very proud of my Gold Membership Card

So, I read it was high tide around 10:30pm. If it smells so bad with high tide, imagine how bad it smells with low tide!

So, is it close now or renovated and then re-opened as a new No Name?

Whenever an older era ends, a new one is reborn,hehehe...it really depends on what one is looking for in Batam. For myself, i still mentally "live" in Batam as in like its 5 years ago when i 1st started. Batam is like an RPG game to me since. And the game has (and should) evolved over time, thats my own era.

Batam is heaven.

Just watch the Thai King gets crowned live on TV today...hehehe...Japan has a new Emperor recently too. Situation changes...

Congratulation! And welcome to the 20% club,hehehe...whereby you could get 96k per hour Massage service at King, and all the blah blah blah benefits stated below,hehehe...and you should have at least 2 to 3 free night stays by now.

Hmm...its been a while since i last stepped into Formosa. Perhaps its about time i should step in there again to play some new game,hehehe...

Marriot not in business yet. SwissBel Harbour Bay is often FULLY BOOKED,hehehe...and i am talking about fully booked during weekdays.

*a pat on bro Blackpage shoulder*

Yes, you ought to be proud. Next year 2020, i possibly shift myself to Formosa Residence,hehehe...its key collection year (heard its gonna be like a hotel too).

Tentatively end of 2019, Wey Wey hotel should start business soon and if its so, then the hotel height might be over-looking, my "hell".

...and well, the scent as well.

Oh, i didnt know nowaday high tide also got bad smell...in the past when i was around there (walking around the restaurant area), bad smell only occur during low tide.

Planet 1 also closed long time ago. The Planet Holiday pub F1 is now located where the P1 was.

But a security guard at F1 told me that they are working to open the new P1 disco in the building right in front. It should be open after Hari Raya, and it will be the largest and best disco in Batam (his words, which must be biased).

We will see...

Wouldn’t Square, Square 2 and Titanium be considered discos too?
