Nice!

For me,i'd visit Ocean only when i'm on my way back to S'pore from HB. i usually go btm in morning timing,Ocean no open yet. On my way home then drop in,finish massage then go makan & home sweet home.

I didnt. I choose not to show PAN becos Blitz theatre (Batam has 2 theatre companies,Blitz and Cinema21) doesnt have this movie yet at the point of my last post and is only available in Cinema 21 organisation.

The Vatican Tapes is now showing on the 2 theatre companies and at BCS Mall,Nagoya Hill Mall,Harbour Mall,Kepri Mall and Mega Mall (Batam Center).

For Horizon Ferry,they usually starts their sale of ferry tickets a month before CNY. It will cost almost 30% more than usual and one has to pay for their tickets few days to a week in advance to confirm the tickets or they will take it as you give up your seat/s.

An interesting read for ur ref on hotel room superstition practised in most Asia countries regardless of religion. I practised most of it,including the bible part.

1. Knock 3 times before entering

I dont do that most of the time. But my booking girls always do that,i just follow at times,hehehe...

2. Make sure your shoes are not pointing in the same direction

I do that. There is some feng shui theory to it on negative and positive energy in a human body within a surrounding area. Long story...

3. Do not touch the Bible if it's been left open upon check-in, request for another room

Never had an opened bible in my hotel room before,but if i do i will change hotel,not room. I ward every hotel room i stayed in. And i do hide some money in the bible too,hehehe...

4. Flush the toilet before first usage

I dont exactly believe in this one,but unknowing i do it all the time upon checking into a room but just solely to check that the flush is in working condition. I have seen friends in Formosa Hotel (and other hotels too) where the toilet bowl was choked and almost causing a flood in the toilet itself.

The last thing i wish to see is shit coming out of a choked toilet bowl and/or is unflushable.

5. Don't sleep facing mirrors

Happens to me in Batam's Goodway hotel. I use a bath towel to cover it up. Again,there is some psychological explanation to this one. Long story,so i will skip.

6. Upon entering your room, open all the curtains, windows and turn on the lights in the room

I do that upon checking in to any hotel room. Sunlights MUST be able to shone in. If room has no windows,i will have to make sure room do not have moist smell or feel moist.

I will open my room door to exchange air (from outside to inside) for 10 mins before i will decide if i need a room change.

7. Always book your room in advance, never insist on the last available room

For Formosa Hotel,i usually insist on my few special rooms. Too lazy to ward every hotel room,hehehe...

8. If you're travelling alone, put your belongings on both beds

Most of the rooms i stayed in Batam only have 1 bed. If i have a 2nd bed,its most likely for my 2nd girl or for me to be massage on it.

9. Don't pick up strange objects

Room service will pick it up for me. I always check my room during check in,its SOP. The lightings,the carpet,the toilet flush,the phone,the air-con and the water taps must always be checked.

I pat the buttock of the girl after I open the door. This ensures that we collect surrounding positive energy, if any.

Hello friend,

Sometime few brothers give negative ranking because they see I am here for so long and my contribution is less. I understand their frustration but what I can do my internet access is limited as I am no longer in Singapore. I am at the sea most of the time. But there are some brothers who understand.

As a way of giving back to community I give what I can. As some of the brothers(Example, NewYorker, Nano, xX etc) have contributed quite a lot. So I am obligated to give what I found useful.

I still believe in giving back to the community and two way benefit.

Hmm...long time hasnt been to KTM resort. Perhaps some time later,i should pay this place a visit. Coming trip,i shall go check out how much Kaha charge for KTM resort room/s,below pricing are from online which are inclusive of all taxes.

The good about this place :

1. Makes me feel i am REALLY on a holiday.

2. Provides everything from KTV to Spa ,a one stop place for all entertainment and relaxation. (they even have a swimming pool too...lol)

3. Back to nature,away from the busy city lifestyle.

4. Booking girl confirm nowhere to run to,hehehe...as its quite a distance away from Nagoya area.

5. The right timing allows me to view the sunset and sunrise.

The bad :

1. Far away from shopping mall. (not too far from provisions tho,lots of smaller-sized convenient stores outside the resort)

2. If i do not have enough CDs,i will be screwed,hehehe...as there is no 24hr mart in that area. Nearest provision shop is are least 10+ mins walk away.

3. Not all booking joints will allow their girls to be brought there.

4. Not all booking girls will like to stay with their customers there unless they know each other well enough. (those who are willing confirm wont run,hehehe..)

5. Everything in the resort from food to massage are relative more expensive than most other hotels/eateries cos the resort management more or less monopolized the area.

6. Got to be extra careful of thieves,hehehe.. and i am not referring to human thief but monkeys. Lots of them in that area.

If i am going there again,i will need to :

1. Prepare enough provision/necessities.

2. Find a willing girl/joint

3. Plan my programme for the day/evening -

a. Massage at Spa Villa

b. Guan Yin temple or Monkey God temple visit .

c. KTV to sing some songs (i dont think the KTV has GROs or Mami tho)

d. Maybe a swim in their a-little-salted water pool,then head for the Spa (to clean up as well).

e. A walk in the park/beach.

...beside just going with bonking all the way.

4. Grab a willing full day taxi driver (or i may use the free shuttle service provided by the resort).

5. Plan a 3D2N trip but likely be staying in KTM resort for just 1 night.

I am just planning and consolidating information for myself on what i WISH to do for my later Batam trip/s.

_____________________________

Few questions :

1. Is there a Rex Theatre in Batam? If so,anyone knows where is it located?

2. I would like to bring an entire Desktop PC to Batam which includes the CPU tower,22' LCD monitor,keyboard etc weighing around 20 kg.

a. Is there anything i need to take note on?

b. Can i just walk thru custom via Harbour Bay? Meaning i hand carry them thru custom.

c. Its a used Desktop PC,will i be taxed at the Batam custom?

My plans are,if its too much trouble trying to bring it in,i may dismantle all the parts and bring it in on separate days. And the PC desktop are meant for some school in Batam. I do have another option tho,sell it off in Sillypore and buy the next available better 2nd hand one when i am in Batam (this would be my last resort).

If anyone has answer/s to my above questions,your reply would give me more options. Sincerely thank you.

It is some kind of ritual to tell the spirits that you will be staying over for the night. They will " understand" and leave u alone.

1. So far in batam only got 2 Theatre which is Studio 21 and Blitz Megaplex. I never encounter or heard Rex Theatre before

2.
a. Answer will be on section C
b. Yes you can
c. For used item, you wont be taxed by batam custom. If possible just bring your Reciept for the used item as a proof. If not you just told them that this item belong to your batam friend, you just helping them to bring back from sg to batam. Or else you can use Porter service to help you bring all your item and let them scan your item before you check out from immigration.
