Brudders, if a gal is bad and sent back, I normally pay shorttime fee and the balance is for the new booking. All of the okt's were accepting that before (although it happens very seldom that I have to send back).
But not this f*~@ Ahui! = avoid!
Long time no go down liaoz.. heheheh but the situation shouldn't have changed too much...
Firstly, when booking cewek ( no matter where are you, BT, BL also same ), must have eye contact and best is if can speak Bahasa Indonesia, check if they wanna follow not.. if they don't want the situation will be as what you said loh....
Secondly, tell the OKT beforehand dia kerja baik tak... if no service how ? Always say first mah, then they will tell you, then you just say if no service you wanna change, FOC if the cewek at fault. Say earlier so later if you really go find him, got reasons to argue.. if they refuse, then easy, come here blacklist the place like you did loh... Then inform your friends no need to go in cuz cewek attitude sure won't be good one if OKT like that..

Padimas, the one nearest the "so called" shopping centre ?
Actually if you wanna reduce budget, look at your account and see where the $$ go loh..
Usually..
cewek : 250kRp - 300kRp (Inclusive tips)
driver : Est. 100kRp (Max, jetty to hotel to villa to hotel to disco to hotel)
ferry : SGD30++ ( Forget liaoz, long time no good )
Makan + Drinks + Misc ( + Disco if have ) are the rest...
Let's say makan around 150kRp, Drinks + Misc around 100kRp, 650kRp max excluding ferry...
Convert to SGD now is around, $116 + $40(ferry) so it will be $156 + $36(hotel) so it will be around $192. But these are almost maximum expenditure liaoz.. heheh

anyone going balai again can bring me along .... had a very bad trip to pinang alone = = ( scared to death )
Let me share my experience with brudders here. Many years back me and my friend (just the two of us) intend to venture into TP (our first expedition to indonesian island). Upon reaching the jetty and after clearance of passports, we headed out to the gate. We were surprised there were so many touts and supir (drivers) at the gate. Though we ignored them, a group of 5 holligans (claimed to be drivers) confronted us to accept their services. We still ignored them and walk all the way to the market and the same group actually followed us persistently. They were pulling our bags though we told them we are not interested in their services cos we intended to explore "free and easy" i.e on our own. On hearing this, they became agitated and even threatened us and even told us they will stop harrassing us only if we took one of them as our driver. At this juncture our balls shrank..no choice loh...accept one of them as our driver cos we were afraid we may be robbed or worst still our life may be at stake! Later, we realised from booking of ceweks, hotel, eating at restaurants and going discos and all the tips ( all coordinated by the supir) we realised we were badly short-changed by him. Its really a bad and expensive experience but of course nowadays we are better informed and prepared for such 'crisis'.
A word of caution! Brudders here better not cheong overseas now. Just reported an undersea earthquake occurred off Sumatra at 0625 GMT today, measured at 6.5 on the Richter Scale! You wouldnt want to cross tsunami path do you? STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER!
We are cheonging Balai/Batu this coming 15th, kekeke. Interested can PM me. Keng people are not welcome
bro .... count me in .... balai might be a new paradise for me too scared to go to indonesia alone ... the local there are scary beside i cant speak malayu

Heard a lot of these stories happening in TP loh... looked like a place only suitable for those who know the place there. I went there alone once, but once I said I waiting for friends to fetch me, the touts left me alone. Think they afraid of who my friends might be and I speak little bit of Bahasa Indonesia.. heheh
