Some 4 odd years back, if anyone has been reading the old Batam thread before this one starts, on Samat the 81 years old security guard who passed on in Batam. He has a home there (in Batam) but still working in Singapore. Not a rich man, but his life in Batam...i envied. What i found out about him after his death : 1. He is still a Singaporean upon death. 2. He goes back to Batam once every around 10 days or so for 2 to 3 days. 3. He didnt owe anyone money and is financially sound enough to afford all the necessities (even tho he chose to sell away his HDB flat but that was after he's 65). When i 1st know him, he's already in his 70s. 4. After he pass on, he left enough money for his family, or the least enough for his 2 children and wife to reach adulthood in Batam. 5. The Singapore consulate covers all his death/hospital expense. His family in Batam pays zero dollar. I am using his life like some kind of a guideline, and in hope to do better. And following behind me while i plan my retirement, i hope others could do better than i did. Looking at example of a good life in Batam above, i also constantly reminds myself one of the cleaner in the same old building i used to work in who also choose to retire in Batam. He didnt have a good one, in fact he pass on penniless. His life saving,inclusive his money money he got from selling his flat sucked dry...that guy from the way i look at it, completely didnt plan at all. 1. Stayed with a girl who already got a husband - not divorced,still alive. 2. The girl he stayed with got a 18 year old daughter, he married the daughter when she turn 19 instead. He is in his 60s then. (he passed on at about age 68,if i didnt remember wrong). 3. He bought a house (not apartment) in Batam under the girl's daughter's name. 4. The girl, her husband and her daughter sold away the house and ran away. 5. Upon death, according to his other colleagues, left behind nothing for his sister who helps settled his remains. I dont know if he owe anyone anything, but some of the security guards did lent him some money before (everyone in the building knew he often goes around trying to borrow money). He still owe me S$10 few months before he passed on which i told no need to return tho. Needless to say, the cleaner's life in Batam is not what i am looking forward to. Nor will it be a life anyone who wish to retire in Batam would look forward to. Both person mentioned here speaks the Malay language and were Singaporean upon death and i have learned quite a bit from both before i decide on my retirement in Batam. Hehehe...i remember i used to talk about sustainability. I am doing many fun stuffs in Batam today which might just help me in sustaining my future lifestyle when i reach my retirement age hence to me, Batam is like a RPG game for me. Example : (i am not talking about the cat in the photo below,hehehe..) Next to look upon would be USB charging lighter to bring to Batam,hehehe...what would most smoker do after finish using their lighters? Most probably throw them away, right...but what if a lighter can be charge via USB or from the power socket? Hehehe...such lighters do exist on earth,just that it cost around 20 over times compared to conventional lighters. Friends in Batam who are smokers, i maybe coming for you around end of 2019...hehehe...or beginning 2020. Those who joined in my temple trip/s before, those lighters can be use to light incense too. Let's do our part/s to save the earth together. Enjoy Batam! * see the fun now?

Although he was single, he ended up fallen in love with a booking cewek who came from kalimantan. He rented a house for her at the outskirt of batam city and gave her money to do business. He travelled to batam to stay for 3-4 days every month. His salary was about $750 per month during that time and has invested more than S$50,000 which is inclusive of all his CPF withdrawal, life savings for the cewek. Soon after few years has passed,she told him that she has lost all the money invested in the business and even dared to ask for more. But during that time, Mr Chua was diagnosed with cancer and physically unable to go to Batam anymore as he became weak and often require to do chemotherapy. In the end he also lost his job and financially unstable. He stayed with one of his sibling as he could not afford a flat. The indonesian woman also did not bother to visit him in singapore as she was only concerned about money. All his hard earned money was gone.. From this example, I have learn a few things: 1) Always buy the milk but not the cow. 2) No real love between a Working Lady and a Cheongster 3) Never 100% trust a working lady’s words. 4) Must plan for retirement early. Still working at the age of 70s is quite pathetic. 5) Do not use CPF savings to splurge on cewek or else all hard earned money will be kena sucked dry dry.. 6) Remember the saying…No money, No honey. This is a very realistic world. Usually people with money will be treated with due respect. 钱并不是万能的,但没钱是万万不能的 Last edited by retirebatam; 30-05-2019 at 12:39 AM. |

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
Hi, in batam are there dirty bars just like those dirty bars in joo chiat or geylang whereby we can caress and dig her cheebye.
At least 25yrs ago, in johore bahru, there are bars whereby the girls wear kimonos and under the kimonos, she wear nothing. So when she open the kimonos, we can grope her breast, buttock and dig her cheebye, she also do blowjob inside the bars. Thanks Last edited by sohbuckkong; 30-05-2019 at 11:37 PM. |

I was actually about to tell you Batam no such thing, but after thinking for a bit...hmm...you can try looking around for Batam salon that has half-blocked partition,hehehe...meaning its not those fully covered up the ceiling kind of partition but half. Each sitting will have a partition or 2 sitting customer one partition kind. If you can find those , 90% chance that salon shop will have hanky panky,hehehe... Most indonesian girls are just too shy to allow another person watching them and their serving customer openly having hanky panky, even KTV girls too.

How fast can it be sold when i need them sold? As well as other trivial things which i took into consideration... 1. Who's gonna paint/clean my external block wall every 5 years? (just look at the condition of Batam Queen Victoria apartment blocks after 5 odd years,hehehe..) 2. Who's gonna fix my apartment when there's a leak on my ceiling? (since MOST apartment owners wont be at home in Batam) 3. Will there even be a rubbish chute? (i am saying, how they gonna manage their rubbish from those apartment blocks and not who will,hehehe..) 4. Lift breakdown? Hehehe...not that i am stingy, but i am considering buying lower floors than higher floors for this reason. Pros and cons, and i will need to bear with the mosquitoes (easy for me). Many would feel that i think too much or just being kiasu. One of the other factor which i REALLY REALLY MUST consider before purchase is...who's the management and how efficient they are (even after i have cut expectation by half). Quote:
For maintenance in Sillypore condos, the lesser the total number of units in a block, the higher the amount. Which is why i guessed it wont cost more than S$480/month comparing it with a 33 units in a single block condominium,hehehe...HDB 3 room flat is about S$45/month tho. Quote:
Thank you again for sharing. Quote:
The newer generation,like ours...has seen and hear many stories in Batam as mentioned by you and me, either thru friends,the newspaper or even from reading this thread. But what about Mr Chua's generation whom you said was in his 70s or 80s? It was "his generation" that make those "mistakes" so our current generation gets to read and learn from it, so as we could avoid making the same or similar mistake/s. Thats why so often, i much appreciate senior bros here who shared their past experience on Batam. * few months ago,i got some chance to interview handful of older Singaporean who were born in the 30s and 40s, hence i was somehow able to look at things from their perspective. People can say, the past has more opportunities,compare to present but then out of 1000 back then from the past, how many can REALLY "make it" in life? ** their generation were "once upon a time" where a group of young boys who would stand together in the same roll behind the five-foot-way to masturbate and challenging each other who will fire off their cum the furthest...hehehe...winner wins the bet (beside just catching spiders etc).

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
The ease of selling off your condo unit in Batam depends on the following :
1) Location of your property. If you buy a property outside nagoya / batam centre (suburb area), then expect to take more time to find a buyer because less likely the buyer will be a foreigner but more likely to be a local thus less chance to sell it off. Thus location of property no doubt is the most important factor to consider. Best to buy either near ferry terminals like batam center or harbourbay mall areas like jodoh. (harboubay residence) or alternatively buy one near nagoya hill mall (citra plaza). Avoid buying those property that is far away from city as those location requires private transport like personal car or ojek. (example Tiban area, Bengkong, Batu Aji, etc) 2) Selling price of your property unit. If sell your property very much above the valuation price, then expect it to take longer period to sell. 3) Current property market status. Now is the buyer’s market meaning that buyer is at the advantage since they have more option of properties to choose to buy from (since supply is more than demand) while the seller is slightly at the losing end. 4) Condition of your condo/apartment unit A renovated or fully furnished and well maintain unit can be sold off easier than an unfurnished or run down unit with many defects. 5) Marketing strategy How fast can sell the property depends on whether you use agent to sell or advertisement through newspaper, etc. |
