Wake up and saw the miserable buffet breakfast, skip it and went out to eat fried rice..check out at 11am and our taxi driver last night came (Paid him 40k last time to tour us around..Brought us to Grand Mutiara Hotel, per night is 285000 for deluxe room..Quickly put down luggage and went to chicken farm, insisted in bringing us to Gold Bird as seems to be bros top recommendation but stayed Less than 1 min, totally terrible maybe we are late..brought us nearby and i picked a cewek (19 years old sumatra cost 550k)..my friend was quite choosy and we spent next 45min going around..end up he got nothing and went back hotel wank..
Back at hotel, girl ordered a ayam nasi goreng (36000rp), after makan, watch channel 5 and started roaming, as she had changed into her nightie and braless, northern attack was a breeze, tuned her frequency button the size of a longan seed, then went south and surprisingly she was in a g-string, negotitate my way around that string barrier and i was in (with my finger). she moaned a bit and ask me to stop, i resisted and carry on till juice flows slightly, ok ready for action, removed all i had till my birth suit and hers also, embraced and ask her to give me a BBBJ, followed by a missionary and ended doggie, slept a while and went out for dinner at windsor foodcourt
3 Rice, 1 hotplate tofu, 1 calamari, 1 gong gong, 2 baby gailan, 1 ayam goreng 2 beers and 1 drink = 304000rp (think a bit expensive)
After dinner went back and check out kosmoss ktv @ Grand Mutiara level 2..as usual we are the only one, wheres everybody ??
Ordered 1 jug (200000rp) and waiter says but 2 free 1..Ok lah since we only one and can dominate the ktv floor so order, after a while my girl's sister came (we saw her this afternoon and i thought she was ok too but my friend tot otherwise), she had finished her ST and came over, we had fun, took some nasty but blur images of them flashing their undies (will upload later but quite blur, i think my friend was shaking while taking them)..had fun order another 2 + 1 jugs, finished the night with a bill of 775000rp (got snacks also and a 30% discount), i thought the pricing seems very sillypore but hack it man, since we are there already..
Girls propose to go pacific to shake head and buy them two medicine, and i rejected as we wont touch any of this..
Went back hotel, getting a bit high and start to strip once inside, dragged her into shower room and we were making out under the flowing tap, had her sit on the toilet bowl to blow me, pause took a CD and did her doggie standing, then rest her butt on the vanity top and did her standing up
Came and sleep
16th 9am
Paid her 50k, and she ask for another 50k, gave her another and 20k
and she left, me and my friend also left for the ferry terminal on 2 motorbike (our hotel had no cab and we are scared to missed the ferry) to come back to our little sillypore

Till next time batam
wow, grand mituara hotel,

i stayed there during my first trip to batam...that time, deluxe room only less than 200,000 rp per night...that was also the first and the last time i tarma in batam....at the same hotel also...

hotel breakfast only was only mee hoon and coffee.
bed was dirty, even saw a cockroach bigger than singapore and can fly...not scared of human beings...

u got channel 5 to watch? haha...i remember only got malay channels to watch...and somemore whole building power supported by a generator behind. the windsor food court just behind only...there also got one pub there got girls one....i neber try before so dont ask me


so long no go liao...haiz...got one bro going so may plan for 2 days 1 night there in mar...

Re: Batam Info Thread

I will be going to Batam this weekend for 3D2N trip.Need advices and some answers as this is my first time there with 2 other non malay speaking friends.


Q1.Take Cab around batam.Around what price is considered reasonable? Our intention is to book the Cab for whole day. As we want to book a Cab that acts like a tour guide as well because our bahasa malayu is really CMI.

Nego with the cabby at the ferry terimnal. I think about 300K per day. Not sure nowdays, since I drive on my own.

Q2.As we're reaching at night,may i know is there any good open air seafood places near to Ozon Hotel?

Ozon hotel is in Peniun area. There is a food court next to the hotel, but too little variety. Near to this place is BCS mall, there are alo of food eateries. If you are lazy, and want a quick meal, there is a food eatery near your hotel, next to Astro hotel, very good bua ku tey
Q3.Any nice KTV to intro? Preferably Young,pretty ones that can speak chinese or english.

There are plenty to choose from. formosa, dynasty, etc.

Q4.For their chickenfarm,i heard can tabao them the whole day.Is Sedona aka gold bird,Feminine a good bet?

indah2, berlian massage, queens, fermina,

Q5.Any nice disco besides Pacific Disco?

planet hotel. disco.

Q6.Any clean massage to intro?
hotel 89, near your hotel. spa inluding.

That is an old hotel lah. There are many new ones to choose from. Pass by Utama the other day, saw a new massage centre beside the hotel. Did not take notice the name, as I was on a rush. Have't got time to try it out.

Re: Batam Info Thread

17th Feb 2010
Went to Batam on 17th Feb ... changed SGD$400 at SG Ferry Terminal for 2.56 mil Rupiah ... Reached Novotel hotel in a small little aircon van ... lady in front sitting with the driver very sweet ... Stayed in the Executive Superior Room with King Size bed ... never realized King Size bed so big sia ... Went for lunch at Harbour Bay using Novotel Cab 30k ... nobody in restaurant except us ... food to me was 2/10 .. batam's salt kinda cheap arbo why they put so much in the food they cook .. Finish eating , Novotel Cab came again and send us to Nagoya Hill shopping centre for 50k .. Tried the sawadika massage ... 2/10 ... masseurs didn't hit the right point ... *sigh* .. disappointment .. Went for tea-break at Coffee Town ... loved the french toast .. 9/10 .. ate 5 slices .. Walk around a bit and went to haf dinner opposite Nagoya Hill shopping centre in a roadside kopitiam .. Back to Novotel Hotel in cab .. paid 40k .. Went to look for ceweks in Novotel cab .. Driver brought us to our 1st location .. me and my buddy both like a girl immediately but wanted the driver to bring us elsewhere ... 2nd location at a place called bougainya or sumthing ... a pub with a fish-tank in it ... music so loud cannot even speak properly .. we had at least 7 targets but the mamasan say that our targets donch go back to hotel .. alamak! .. those that go back to hotel .. eeeeeeeeee .. my buddy settled for one and I didn't want to disappoint him also gek-gek settled for one ... 500k per girl till 8am .. we bought our helmets and returned to Novotel hotel .. got a shock from the driver when he wanted 120k for the trip .. that's the price for not asking the price before saying ok to using the hotel's cabs for ceweks trips ... Nbz ... i called for Room Service for my girl and myself to eat .. after that, ask her to go and sleep ... never do anything ... I didn't like her ..

18th Feb 2010
Had breakfast @ Novotel hotel .. not bad .. 4/10 .. my buddy had lunch at an Indonesian eating place ... my other 2 friends had lunch at KFC and I had lunch at Coffee Town ... loved their french toast ... this time around, whacked 7 slices .. 8/10 ... Went for shopping and walk around town .. tried Eska massage .. 2/10 .. masseurs damn jialatz .. did a pedicure .. 6/10 .. did a manicure .. 4/10 ... All of us settled for dinner @ Pizza hut ... 8/10 .. Went back to Novotel hotel .. me and buddy did some walking around and found this Atlanta SPA just opposite Novotel hotel .. 80k for 24 hours SPA ... wow! .. massage was bad again ... she didn't understand 'sakit' ... idiot!! .. offered 300k for HJ ... told her only have 100k ... she accepted 100k for HJ .. decided to get even with her for not understanding the term 'sakit' .. she was so tired when there was no results after 25 mins of HJ ... 0.5/10

19th Feb 2010
Had breakfast again at Novotel hotel .. 4/10 .. Left for the ferry terminal in a small van .. saw a nice lian-lian SG girl .. Ah! Finally haf nice things to see .. our ferry timing was 2.10pm ... 3 of my friends were busy being chimneys at 2.04pm .. we checked in at 2.14pm, only to realize that our ferry had left ... LOL

Conclusion : All of us agreed that we won't be going back to Batam in the near future.

Novotel hotel, i stay before, but i will not stay there liao cos the manager there has offended me with his crude remarks. i believe that they expend some hotel rooms also
i remember got one ktv dont call what that opens only at night and the girls are better looking....rates also higher...dont know call no name or what i forget liao
harbourbay i only go to eat seafood there at night...daytime i go nagoya hill shopping centre eat A&W....miss them sia...
dont be disappointed...maybe u can ask some lao jiaos here to bring u around....
