How is the quality of girls at joints after 5pm?

Just to add one more fun place for all to share.

It is called HAPPY MASSAGE 8.


Location is at former Flamingo Massage, next to Fortune massage.

Near to the now closed TOP 1 massage, old Little Hong Kong food court.

Pick up joint, I was late last week when I pop by few days ago. Mostly MILF. Fortune Massage is a massage cum special place.

If you are walking there, it is behind Centre Point Mall, and centre point is beside Formosa. Just walk from the other end of Centre Point mall towards the canal. The row of Shop Houses there.

Another place which had been closed for some time and reopened again is WATERFRONT massage located in Harbour Bay, behind the mall, beside the amin hotel.

Saw a few MILF, good looking ones standing outside also yesterday. Checked the price is 100K for 1 hour massage onwards. The receptionist is a transsexual. Since I have a car of my own, decided to go else where.

I thought so too. Maybe a group of 4 can still consider. Save on the taxi cost.

Hi Bro Heshang,i read this thread within the range of March 2014 and found the below by bro cupid express,hope it helps (don't forget to thank bro cupid express after reading) :

There are a few KTV in Batam, therefore damage is very different
I only went to 2 so far, Alisan & M1, (Not all gals can booked for overnight) I share a bit with you.
Alisan at lvl 4 of Formosa Hotel, approx 20 - 30 gals.
There are both rooms and hall here, think before you decide room or hall.
If your idea is to book a gal there, then don't waste money on the room.
If you only wanna see see look look do hand excercise, then go for room.
Rates for sitting: 200K, (as many gals as you like) the gal will sit with you the whole night, won't butterfly away. They will drink and sing with you.
If you can't talk like me, use hand sign... Eg: pointing at her tits, gesture something big... observe her express, if she smile, you go ahead to pluck papaya. If she say Eeee, also go ahead to pluck her dame papaya.... Swee boh!
Rates for overnight: 1.1mil, sit with you first, relac relac, action action a bit and sing some songs, play some pool, drink a little beer... Then proceed to your hotel lor...!
PS: While she is sitting with you and suddenly you change your mind and decided to book someone else... Can! Just tell the mummy, don't Paisei.
For M1 at Harbour Bay, the same thing applies, only damage is higher, sitting will be 300K, booking is 1.5mil...
You may think why M1 more X leh? Well, because M1 is nicer and got many gals... Around 60 ba...!

I hoped the above info helps you understand the operating timing a little.
(Infomation given are subjected to changes without my notice)
Please reply with *Thanks* upon reading this...

Regds,

and also,, try to avoid 5th - 9th june weekend. there will be an event called MTQ National. It's some kind of nationwide annual meeting of muslim assembly.. the city will be super crowded and heavy traffic jam is expected.

Yea,there are some minor changes indeed at Harbour Bay,thanks for the updates on the dates to avoid bro. I mean it, i really thank you for those dates given. Thank you.

I have 100 ferry tickets selling at $49 each..hurry!!!

[Cerberus]

Made a last minute trip to BTM last Saturday.
Stayed at a small hotel near Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall.

Went to 2 Karaoke (real Karaoke for singing).

First one is Happy Puppy...
Nice decor....sang for 2 hours....
total bill is 110k rph.

At night went back....found the rate had been doubled.

Decided to look for another one...saw this Genesis.
Took 2 hours and add in extra 1 hour...178k.
More songs selection and the boss speaks chinese.
Cons : Toilet quite run down and need to walk up a long flight of stairs to reach the place.

Managed to get 9200 rate at near by $ changer. change sgd200. just change sgd100 the lady only give 9150.

Heard that Indonesia are planing that rupiah would be redenominated by removing three zeros starting 2014. The existing rupiah will be phased out by the end of 2018. But the plan was delayed to further notice.

Having a big figure currency could be difficult to calculate. Although rupiah can be converted freely to other currency, but it is still regarded as a risky currency to hold and also was one of the least valued currency units in the world.

It is a matter of time that sing $1 will become 10000 rupiah in the near future base on past depreciation record. Then satu juta will become one hundred buck leow le.

That was not the best rate ever. During November last year, many of us got rates of up to 9700rp per SGD.

There was also a period of time some years back when the rate did drop to 1 SGD = 10,000 rupiah.

Let's all hope that it goes back to those good old times...! Hehe...
