Honestly speaking,for my case the saving isnt significant yet. I am currently at "Farming" stage for more things to come with that membership card thingy in hope by then they (Formosa) still honor their end of the bargain as I have planned further...hehehe...

Whether have % discount for KTV or not doesnt matter becos i still get Gold card % off with or w/o having one,hehehe...

I rarely eats in Vienna restaurant itself unless its free and occasionally i do drop into Tea Story or order their room service food. (Their Japanese Curry rice was good!)

But the massage will be an entirely different story if i reach Gold Card level. When i get to gold card level,i wont be just sticking to the normal type of massage and i wont be staying in Formosa hotel to get the offer,hehehe...not going to elaborate further now (it will be in another later post).

This is an eat the pig and pay the dog situation from my point of view. I think hotel.com works better with the same marketing. Well,at least one doesnt have to be bind to staying in one named hotel all the time. One can stays in other hotels when they book via hotel.com,accumulated the points and eventually get a free room stay.

Yes,but only applicable for deluxe room. Thats why its not attractive to me. I am still bargaining with them for better rates on other room types for my future trips,hehehe...

In one of my summary,i was talking about getting a better bargain for a certain "other room type" in Formosa Hotel. Already got it,but Kaha still offered me better. I am working to get them to re-define their room and at better rates to oust their competitors. They have a good advantage over many things in their field of business and many a time they put themselves in such bad position which they didnt even realized it. And i am trying to help them understand some of those points that should work towards my own future advantage of course,hehehe...

In the past before the free membership took its place today,they have this pay 400k rupiah and get a 450k voucher for the membership.Which is already a good enough promo for the hotel on a one time thingy.But it is still afterall a one time thing, I told them that the promo will eventually died off becos of the lack on "sustainability". They want members,becos they are looking for Regulars. But with that promo,they are not creating regulars to come back again,becos like i said previously,its only a One time thingy (they are just creating one time customer/s). Privileges for members simply werent attractive enough. If they want "members" to become regulars, then they have better add more prizes for being one.

Of the 50 over friends I knew in Batam from this forum,how many actually goes back to stay in Formosa again? I would say no more than 20% becos I don't encourage them to,hehehe....i dont stay in Formosa all the time too.

With or w/o the membership,i am still able to check out very late. Later than the latest stated time for member,hehehe...its just manners and being considerate to keep them informed that i will or will not be checking out late. Or if i have friends with me,i will usually check out earlier and move to my friend's room (or my friends moved to my room) ;and return them their room/s so that other guest/s can have their room/s on time.

Free upgrade is nothing for me,free laundry...well...maybe can try next time to help my girl wash her clothing (extra perks w/o extra cost,hehehe..)

Now free transport to ferry terminal is an entirely different story compared to the above free room upgrade/free laundry. Knowing my methods of travelling well enough,it could also mean in MY FUTURE TRIPS to Batam,i MAY NOT NEED to pay for taxi fare anymore. And this is one of the offer i find attractive in. There has been talks about how cheap one pays for transport in Batam,or how expensive one pays for it. I believe nothing can be cheaper than FREE,hehehe...well,unless i can earn extra money when the taxi driver brings me to where i want him to bring me to (that would be cheaper than free).

(i got free transport from Hotel to ferry terminal twice before free membership promo came about during some experimental test)

The discount currently adds up can equates to free movies for 2 w/o the popcorns (maybe plus a small meal),hehehe...but i think i may be a little greedier. Hopefully my "boat" don't capsize,hehehe...

To me,all their given perks can add up to become quite a substantial reward ,provided if I can turn it to become my needs. Definitely way beyond just the movie tickets for 2 pax and a meal.

Just sharing.

Those who pays S$2.00 for a S$0.50 apple most likely wouldnt be here as those who has been here already knew the apple cost S$0.50 there.

Just a personal perspective.

Most ppl will pay $2 bcs their home country is selling the apple @ $2.50 & more. Abt 1 year later cm back here to kpkb tat btm's apple sellin at $3+ when last time only sellin $2.50.

It's like a trend if u read the threads in the forum frm ard 8 yrs back.

I have soo many questions but wouldn't want to disturb you too much.

Last question, would you like to go on <censored> july for a impromptu trip to batam?
Thank You

I am at batam today 3rd July. Pacific staffs told me disco still business as usual for them ley not sure bout other night spot or entertainment outlet though. Going Pacific disco tonight

[LeeHsienLoong]

Now that the Ramadan period is coming to an end and Hari Raya is around the corner I will explore Batam around the mid of this month or later.
I have been told to lower my expectations in terms of ladies when visiting Batam previously.
Now I would like to venture slightly further.
Where is a good place to books girls who are above average in terms of looks and service?
What is the recommend price to negotiate with in order not to over pay?
Thank you!

Hi Bros,
I was in Batam staying at Pacific from 1st to 3rd July with one my Friend. It was tough looking for good girls as most of them went back to their kampong for Raya. My usual OKT also run out girls and tried his best means to get us girls by calling other OKT.

First day, 2 girls came by the name of Rini and Mey. Rini was taken by my Friend and Mey being the girl I took before stick with me. As usual took a couple of drinks at hotel and went to Golden Prawn for dinner. Thereafter, proceed to Last Pub to listen to Rock music. Came back hotel, have a couple of sessions then slept. At around, 5:30am Mei claim she was not feeling well and insist that she need to go back. Do not want persist the arguement, I told her to leave. There was a hidden agenda for her to leave where I only realised very much later!

Yes! I suppose, she smartly open the save (somehow knowing the password number) when I was in deep sleep and stole 100 sing dollars. I only realised during breakfast where I count the money in my wallet. Since, I don't have a concrete evidence, I kept quiet.

Second day, my Friend extend Rini. I was looking for girls thru my agent and it was really hard. Finally one girl arrive to my room. She is totally not from my OKT as my OKT said it was thru contact to contact. Third or fourth party. This girl never came alone but she come with a muscular
guy. He demand 1.5 million plus 100k for his petrol. I paid him. He left.

I had 1 session with her. In between the session she do not want to give BJ. I told her I will tip her if she does. She agree and BJ was given.

Same thing, went to Golden prawn and last pub. This 2 girls were missing from time to time saying need to go toilet. I suspect, they are taking some kind of drug. Face and the actions they did was quite strange.

Telling my Friend something fishy. We decided to leave the Pub and proceed back to hotel. Reaching only 5 mins in the room, bell rang. Open up the door and saw this muscular guy again. He started creating commotion that the girl need to leave and threaten / demand me to give Singapore money. I never agree, he started hitting me. I try to defend but due to his physique I lost. Shouts began and due to the sound my friend came to my room. Try to stop him but he get more violent. He only stops when the hotel security came to our help.

This muscular guy, by the name of Marine (came to know his name thru my regular OKT later) insist 130 sing dollars for forcing the girl to perform BJ. He also told the security that I hit him first. The girl support his statement. I was frustrated.

My Friend do not want to persuit the problem further, he request me to give the money he want. I gave 100 dollars and my Friend gave 30 dollars to him. Marine and the girls left the room.

The hotel security ask me to report the matter to police as he saw I have swell on my forehead and cheek. I told him it's ok, going to police have to go hospital for checks and so on and forth. A Long procedure.

I believe strongly in Karma and be very sure that he will be punished and the girl will be cheated by others.

So Bros, be careful in taking girls from OKT whom you don't know or girls on pub. It happened to me and do not want our Singapore Bros to go through the pain I went through.

BTW, if anyone knows this guy call Marine who is staying in Nagoya, stay away from him and his girls..

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading.

I fully sympathise with your ordeal and sorry for hearing of your injuries sustained bro. Hope you recover well and gain from elsewhere the injustice received.
However, i also feel that your okt who got you the girls should help you seek justice as it was him who got you the girls. If he doesn't do anything, then he isn't fit to be an okt or someone you should engage or trust. For all you know, he could be in cahoots with those girls and that guy named Marine. To me, he is responsible for your welfare and plight when he agrees to look for you girls.

It would be better to look for a more trustworthy okt in future. My well wishes to you bro, and have a speedy recovery. Good luck and hope you gain back your losses in other ways.
Cheers.

Hi Bro Win,

Yes, it is true from what you said. When telling my OKT, he seem not to bothered much. His attitude towards this matter, makes me doubt him too!

Thanks for comfort word. I really need this. Appreciate it with my heart..

I feel differently,i feel tis is the best time to post the photos of those girls instead of wat's previous posted,better still the okt 1. Not forgetting the girls were in cahoot w the okt in tis one 4 sure.It's ramadan,this thread has warned all b4. It's his choice of fun. Hwever,i feel the need to compliment him 4 his willingness to share honestly so as to warn others against Rini,mey/Mei & Marine. I bet there's no namecard or contact frm okt,marine frm previous okt.

Tat's hw i feel.

$100 stolen frm own hotel safe,got whack by unkwn okt,paid extra $130 over the 1.5m+100k,lose face in public & a spoiled trip. Bro donkan hav had a bad enuff day. Hope he gets well soon.
