GILF is meaning Grandmother rite? Then i tink Sinkpore got more @ Jln Sultan than in btm. If u wanting look for milf then u can try Linda massage at the formosa oppsoite there.

On a less serious note.....what exactly "uh uh siol" means?

I always thought it is something like the equivalent of "wah lau eh" in Melayu context....and it belongs solely to Sg malays.

But that day at the Batam customs...I heard one of the custom officers saying the exact same thing....

Ok,thank you for explaining. One more small question,if that one you describe is called Lasegar,then what about this one below :

I mean the one w/o the Rhino Logo on the right of the above picture. Some shop will sell that 3 legged version and they all taste quite the same.

Surprisingly not just Sg ,malaysia oso don't have these drinks.

Have jus checked w my malaysian colleagues.

Turn down the massage girl's 1st 2 quotations to get the right price. Turn them down the 3rd time to get your desired price but will likely end with a No Deal. Then again so what if its a No Deal,there are always other massage within the perimeter of an area. (i learned something)

The whole trick on bargaining is a little patient,a little persistence,dont show off or ya ya,hehehe...let them know you know the "market price" and that you have other better options,eg "i already have a booking girl in my room" , "i already have a booking girl on the way to my room",etc etc. Once the girls know i am holding the "trump card" and you can make her feel you can do w/o her "special", the likelihood of her giving in to your price is higher too.

Brother,i picked up tis trick from u,not the other way round. I simply shorten it,tat's all.

Reject the girl twice.

If they cannot read,that means they dont understand English or maybe lazy,then they shouldnt even ask some of those questions in the 1st place as no matter how hard one tries explain,they are unlikely to fully understand,hehehe...

I am confident that my guides were detailed and made simple enough for a 10 year old to understand.

Nwaday i oso learn frm u to create my own link to reply to ppl asking repeated qns.

Can it be those who ask repeated qns has an intellect of less than a 10 yr old kid? Not too sure but it sure does look like it is.

Most of those who are new to Batam who shared an FR here wants to know where they are not doing right . Most just want to make correction (if any) on what they do not-right so they can at least try to do better in their next trip.

Yea,but i was refering to those with below 10 yr old intellect who cannot read.

I like yr Ultra Man description.

The exchange rate looks good today,9870 rp for 1 SG$ in btm

By the "Right" side of the law in Indonesia as according from reading the web,all foreign travelers travelling to Indonesia are required to have a passport with at least 6 months validity upon entry. By "Left" of course ,one can try the "push money" tactic which may either get things done smoothly 90% of the time or if it doesnt ,may bring about even more trouble.

Its always good to check my own passport to make sure my passport is still under the correct validity before travelling. Renewing my passport takes just about a week.

Christmas ,New Year and Chinese New Year season just round the corner. The "Right" time of the year where they will try to fatten their own wallet.

Even if they allow you to enter but they might detain you upon exit and demand a huge penalty for yr departure.

Hmmmmmm..... Am at Broadband cafe & co. @ Nagoya hill mall. Have to admit.... The place is really really not bad..... Prices are alright (not expensive local standards) for the food and beverage offered. Gourmet coffee is strong and aromatic. Friend tried nasi goreng special and remarked nice. Sofa seats.... Nice ambience...


Hmmmmm.... Can recommend this place for a nice relaxing spot in Nagoya hill mall area for coffee chit chat and lounging/lazing away from the din and crowd . Basically quite empty bcs of its non obvious location (next to Jco and above telcomsel grapari). Give it a shot .

Cheers

Not really a foodie, but one obvious thing I like about Batam is there is no lack of eating places....a range to suit every budget.
In addition, there will always be empty seats and queue not long...some even no queue.
In SG, everywhere affordable is full.....need to sit on roadside kerb to makan.....
