21.02.2015 - My 3rd day in Batam
Well,today i do not know if i have to go back Sillypore becos i am still waiting for a room at Formosa. Morning breakfast was early becos i do not wish to queue. Went down with my girl and surprisingly,there is no need to queue for breakfast. My guess is,many of their room would have been cleared today. After breakfast,i call Formosa to check on the rooms i reserved,but they again says i must call back later....crossing my fingers,hopefully i can get a room there and finally at 1015am,i called again yes,i finally got my rooms.
My girl went off at about 10am,without 100% sure if i am going to book her again. But i did tell her to wait for me till 12pm and if i dont go to joint to look for her,that means i am gone for good,hehehe....anyway,i am glad i got my desire room,seems like luck hasnt totally forsaken me,hehehe....
Checked out of Goodway,was serve by another receptionist who looks like i owed her a lot of money and then i head to Kaha to grab my desire room at the same time help bro fishingman reserve his room. And finally,i felt a total sense of relief after checking into "my room",hehehe....its still early to go fetch my girl,so i went to check out Pas Massage.
I didnt try this place becos i already have a good a masseur in my room for the last 2 nights,but i did remember to take their name card :
It is afterall still a banned joint that used to provide BAD SERVICE!! So i decide to give it a miss since its CNY. But i did remember to take a photo of their price list as below :
I had a feeling this is another high class spa...as i can smell the "hot water smell" when i take their name card.
After paying Pas Massage a visit,i decide to have lunch 1st before heading to the "new" New Berry to fetch my girl....hmm....at this point i was thinking,will my girl fly me aeroplane,hehehe....well,obviously she didnt. I kiasu a bit,pay the driver 800k to go pay to joint to book the same girl,head for lunch then on the way back then pick up the girl. Dont think i stingy for not bringing my girl for lunch,cos i always allow girls to order whatever she wants from hotel room service. Also i have other plans after my girl arrive at hotel too. I need to go "shopping" to earn back my ferry ticket,hehehe....
About 130pm, we went to pick up my girl....ask the driver to send me to Nagoya Hill Mall,then back again all done within 30 mins. Meaning my Nagoya Hill Mall shopping spree from going there,shopping there and coming back,takes only a little more than 30mins.Fast shopping,right? Put down my shopping bag,send the unreliable driver off until 2morow when he come back for me to head back to Harbour Bay where i head back towards home sweet home.
After putting down my shopping bags,i continue to head to Lucky Plaza,my favourite shopping paradise,hehehe....spend 3 to 4 hours there and then back to room,rest a bit (bonk a bit too) before heading to the restaurant at Formosa Hotel for dinner around 9pm. It was such a smooth easy day today.
Somewhere along here,i met up with bro fishingman for a smoke,and i shant elaborate the details here.I also receive calls to head to Pas massage from another bro,but our timing cant click,so its cancelled.
The next morning (after breakfast) after the girl goes back around 930am,i head to Linda's massage,to request for an in-room massage,which i then realise that special service price was higher than usual at 300k (3 times higher). 12pm,driver arrived and we head for lunch before i checked out of hotel to head to Harbour Bay.
Queuing for the ferry is yet another disaster. Remember,when i 1st arrived to Harbour Front,ferry to Batam delayed for 15mins and i was already grumbling...lol. But in Batam,it was a totally different scenario. There were long queues,in fact many long queues outside the ferry check in area....all passengers that are awaiting for 130pm,145pm and 2pm all queuing there forming a big gigantic queue line. There was no sign on which queue is to which timing of ferry. I think there was some who miss the ferry becos of the mass orgies. I was lucky,i manage to get to the correct queue and safely arrived to the custom check in counter and into the ferry.
In the ferry on my way back to Sillypore,which was again Business Class seat,I was FINALLY served by the 2 indo Horizon ladies. I guess I was too tired then to find them attractive at that point of time…lol.
------------------End of Summary------------------
My thoughts for the CNY trip and what I learned :
1. I was glad I came to Batam on CNY prepared before hand,like Hotel room,girls and having some pre-arranged programme.
2. Everything in this CNY trip was not fine ,other then having a good girl part,hehehe…
3. As usual,its another 4D3N trip and 4D3N never works well for me.
4. My rating for this trip : 5/10 ,I rate my girl 7/10.
5. I will still return to Batam in CNY2016 and this time I make sure it will be better than the 2015 one.
6. What I failed : Food sourcing,Hotel room relocation,Money Changing, shopping,massage and Travelling (ferry).
7. I dont like crowd,thats why i often visit Batam on weekdays,and this CNY2015 trip is the crowdest time in Batam,so i kind of expected my trip wont be good or be better than my previous.
Anyway,I learned quite a bit and spend more than double of what I usually will spend in Batam,make mistakes in this trip and also pay for those mistakes. But then I am still up to the challenge next year in CNY 2016,hehehe…I will be back…
Side note : Info written in this summary here are very different from usual guide and listings from my previous time when it comes to pricing. This is CNY 1st day thru the 4th day plus it is also on weekends.
Finally finish writing this summary,hehehe....phew!
Sorry if i bore anyone.
