Bintan Reports

[mongerx]

Sassina,

Can I ask you some totally blur questions about the Karaoke rooms in discos like Planet?

How does one book such a room, and how much does it cost?
What are the facilities like? and is the balcony separate?
How big are the rooms? and how many guys do you need to make it worthwhile?
Who and how much do you tip?
As for ceweks, does you also have a mami available to you? Can you still do the easy freelance pick-up off the main dance floor?
Are the freelancers keen on joining in on the karaoke room action?

Does this work the same at all the major Batam discos?

I am also keen to learn how the vip karaoke rooms work in the smaller KTV booking joints. But I won't ask too much to fast.

BTW fantastic trip report. I love the way you party down.

Okay I will only be able to answer parts of this as I am quite unfamiliar with the Karaoke scene myself and do my best to be accurate and true too.

Booking, pricing etc
This should be similar although not totally the same between Planet & Pacific & Sphinx
1) To book., you can call ahead to the joint in advance specifying your arrival time or you can ask for a room on arrival which may be a problem on weekends when demand is quite high.

a) Note that the entrance to the Planet Karaoke is via a side stair case on the left at the point where the security is checking you for your entry ticket. I always use this entrance when I go to Planet as if I am a Karaoke customer to avoid the entrance charge and from there go down via the back into Planet main hall. Its not what everyone knows.

b) the Pacific Karaoke and Disco is has a reception desk at the main entrance just before you go through the security barriers. Tell them you going to the Karaoke VIP area and they will bring you up to look around too.

c) At Sphinx, as you enter the stair case brings you up to the Karaoke area upstairs

On the rooms, at Planet and Pacific, there are 2 types of rooms, with balcony and without balcony. If they have a balcony, the room will have a door that opens on to the balcony. Sphinx does not have balcony rooms at all.

This costs of the room in Pacific was about 300k per hour but the rates will differ depending on the type of room you take and your relationship with them. Try calling at +62 (778) 459699 and ask Ibu Diana (she's from HR) if she can arrange some kind of discount. You can always negotiate anything in Indonesia right. At Planet, it is probably below 300k per hour I will confirm the rates and revert to you as I have never paid myself.

Size of rooms. The Planet rooms with balcony are tiny with seating for about 8 persons and the balcony , standing room only for about 6 people. I belive the non balcony rooms are larger.

Pacific has larger and more luxurious rooms altogether but the balconies are not larger, U can see them from the dance floor when you look up.

Sphinx has different room sizes for different crowd sizes. Their rates are definitely very affordable. The Karaoke rooms usually have a toilet where many clients get into action of all sorts too. Some bolder clients and drunked clientele do crazy things in the toilets and Karaoke rooms too including stripped naked bonking and all sorts of antics therein!

Drinks are as per menu. Tips are totally up to you who and when you tip. Best to tip when you settle the final bill for the night and it need nor be hefty if you are not going to want to be remembered forever. Probably just for the person(s) serving you - say 30 to 100k for a whole night is quite a lot per person anywhere in Indonesia. If the person was able to go bring you chicks all night, you would give more of course. And they do if you tell them what you want.

For the group that we had, we collected S$50 each to cover room cost and drinks only. I believe if you have 4 persons each having that amount, you would have S$200 and that would pay for a room for a few hours plus some drinks the prices hovering around 30k per shot or bottle thereabots. Beers can be by jugs too.

Mamis
In Planet, the freelance Mami I know has moved to Pacific. She is Mami Vera whose contact I believe I have given to you by separate mail or in the private paid for document in s-asia.net

Pacific itself has a Mami Lisa there +62 (819) 2610479.

Sphinx has a Mami at location too in the viewing bench area itself which is a lounge on the side where they also have gaming machines. (there are two lounges there one with a viewing bench).

Each girl in her own freelance girl group will act as a negotiator and fixer for you if you ask. You experienced that when you were in Planet with the Promoter and other ladies too. Waitresses and waitresses will help too if you ask.

You can also drift down to the main dance floor / hall to cruise but do leave at least one person taking care of the room or you might lose things etc.

My belief is that not every freelance has ever been to the Karaoke as some of them are very new in the game.

To be invited up is a priviledge right? Make it that way and they will want to come up with you. Better than to go out of the place to your hotel upon meeting.

Don't even ask, just lead by the hand - hold it and walk tag her along. Once you have one girl up, you can ask her to go bring others too if she has her group.

In the smaller Karaokes where they have VIP rooms, in the less expensive places which tend to be "booking joints" usually, they have no room charge and you pay for drinks and the ladies if you take them ST and LT. If there is no ST or LT, then, its only tips to the ladies as you wish. If they have a room charge, ask them how much, it should not be more than 100k per hour if not less. Unless its a very exclusive joint e.g. Japanese lounge.

Do feel free to ask more and I am sure besides myself other comments will be offered. Regards,. S.

A thousand thanks for taking the time to write such a clear, detailed, and useful response. When we cross paths I insist on buying a couple of rounds.

Just a couple of quick follow up questions on tipping the girls when you use a VIP Karaoke room in a booking joint. (for anyone to respond to please)

What are the guidelines for tipping girls if you are not taking a ST or LT?

Is there much rabba rabba going on like in Singapore Karaokes if you don't take short time?

Is there some level of service at which it is bad form to not convert it to shortime?

If we just want to party in a Karaoke room, do we get to pick our hostesses from the tank even if we are not taking a ST or LT booking?

Thanks again for taking the time to consider my questions.

Well I am more than happy when we do cross to drink with ya too.

The answers are not in the same sequence as your questions but its more logical for me:

Yes, you do pick the ladies from the bench or tank in booking joints to join you in the Karaoke rooms. Usually, its with a view towards some kind of booking / action so, its always payment for some kind of services from my point of view. Nothing is free right?

If you are not doing ST or LT and you can still have their time in the K room where they will be happy to be raba raba (ed) and I suppose each girl has her own modesty level in front of others in the same room. Alcohol consumption usually decreases the modesty level and this applies across the globe.

In Phuket, we get everyone so drunk, promise to turn off the lights and we throw a pile of cash in a glass and pay the first "volunteer" in a group of 8 to bonk with one of the guys there and then! It can only happen when they are all so tripped out! Never tried that in Batam yet as I have not had the right occasion. But, there in Phuket, I play with some of the local playboys of the city who know the people real well.

There is really no answer about converting at some service level to ST or LT.

I would say that you had picked the girl for how you imagine she looked to you beyond the physical. In the room, it would be a good opportunity to measure her service level and chemistry with yourself and based on that, you can decide to confirm if you will book her or just say bye bye. If you do not decide to book her, just a handy tip of 30k or more will do the upper limit being 100k which is too much unless she had been very entertaining or you have taken up a lot of her time during which she missed other business opportunities.

Note that if you have not confirmed you are booking her and some patron of hers shows up and confirms the booking, you may also lose her even if she is in your room in which case, I am sure the Mami / Papi will give you first refusal.

I trust that you are fair-minded to them like I always encourage. If she had been a shit, get rid of her fast and give her 20k and thats plenty for bad service.

Other comments please?

If in a KTV I generally like to sit and check out the goods first - Though I like to make up my mind quick smart as well...

Example, MongerX, as last weekend when we were in the Sedona and that pretty one you booked previously was sitting with us and got booked out right from under your nose - I know you were'nt goin to take her but it shows what goes on...

The old saying of a bird in the hand is better then two in the bush...

BTW I like my girls clean shaved - I'll leave the bush whacking to others

A quickie overnight trip for early week release!

Yes, a friend of mine had spent whole w/e in Sillypore with some nice chick and ended up with a full tank! He decided it was time for emptying out all that hormone disturbing juice and so at approximately 5.30pm, we were neatly on Penguin's boat bound for Batam Centre on a Monday evening. This was unplanned and I did not even have a tooth brush with me. We made a conscious decision that we might have to cruise the floors of Planet if we wanted a decent bonk.

Much to the dissapointment of a regular taxi driver of my friend, we did not agree to divert anywhere for cewek shopping at that belated hour on arrival. He even threw in a new Local Flores-Indonesian run chicken farm which he said was in Bandar Utama - sounded like that. With his description of young beautiful sexy ladies there, he almost got us to say yes but our stomach and wary sense got the better of us and we went to check in at hotel instead.

Then to A1 to see if anything was inviting amongst the drink promotion girls there. Monday is really a slow day and not a single lady of attraction to get us to order even a beer! Yeps, it was like a desert that night in A1 for us. So a simple but decent dinner after which we proceeded back to hotel for a shower and pre-hunting drink of Scotch in the hotel lobby area.

A friend came over and joined us for the drink and we just sat around exchanging ideas on what best to do next.

The decision was simple; alert a few free lancers (who I knew) that we were going to be in Planet and find out if they were going there and go shopping in a few joints before final assault at Planet if nothing attracted us.

So, a quick peep into Queens and Dynasty 99 and the remains of the ladies were not our type. With quality in mind, we then spent some time at Pelita Hotel's small but packed showroom and I thought No 47 was ok and asked her over for a chat. Looked her in the eye and asked if she wanted to come with me and she smiled broadly and giggled yes!

No 12 who attracted my friend was signalled but something terrible happened! Her working companion on her left started making all sorts of comments and this resulted in No 12 and her walking off to the toilet. On return, No 12 was summoned to us and although she smiled and said she be happy to come along, there were enough negative vibes in the air for my friend to say NO to taking her along. My friend concluded that they were probably lesbians and in the wrong profession!

I informed Mami that I will call her later over No 47 while we go nextdoor to Maxims and other places. Our preference was to have both ladies from the same joint so they would be warmer to partying as a mini group.

At Maxims, my favourite had gone back to her home town and the remaining ladies were not really our type. In one corner, the singer from Jakarta caught my friend's eye and the next half hour was spend chatting her up while we had a drink. She's a late 20s girl and was going off to Titanic at 12 midnight for another performance till 2pm and we said we would pop in if we could. We kept that as an option.

Her phone number in hand we then made visits to Hollywood and Sensasi and as expected, nothing really caught our eye so empty handed, we moved to Planet around midnight and it was just starting to fill up.

It was to be a slow night and people were just arriving and we decided to go to Classics Pub just for a drink and a pause. From there, we drifted to the Ice Pub to listen to some good music and see if there were any new talents behind the bar. Only 4 ladies were working, all old faces and of course a handful of real crows hanging around waiting for the odd desperado to come in. They tried briefly to interest us with no success.

So around 2 am, we moved back to Planet to work the floor for our nightcap in bed.

It was dark and my friend complained that the place was too dark and music too loud. Damm bugger is getting too damm old!

I stopped on the way in to chat up a small group of very young ladies and dragged one to the Karaoke corridors to have a good look. Not bad the body, and a truely "kampong chicken" so I told her I would like to go to the toilet and would be back for her later.

We cruised the ladies toilet area (entrance) for about 45 minutes and all sorts came in and out while we just stood around talking to whoever would stop to talk to us.

A tall dark girl moved and danced very sexily around us and I pulled her up close to have a good look and chat her up. She claimed to be from Sanur, Bali and yet did not look Balinese at all to me. Theres that theory that a good dancer is a great f*&^% if she moved the same way in bed and that was the main attraction for me about her. Too big for my normal liking and yet, I was tempted. Checked out more than half a dozen others of which there were two that I considered seriously enough but the x-factor was missing in all of them.

For my friend, it proved to be exasperating cos those he wanted did not hesitate to talk while those that stopped long enough proved to be too "commercial" in the discussion. Soon, he was hastling me to leave and go back as it was getting close to 3am.

Well, lets go then I said making a decision to pick up the earlier lady I had met on the way in. As we exited, I stopped and pulled her back to the Karaoke's lighted corridors to talk to her again and her companion came along with my friend. Somehow, he did not "fall in lust" with her companion and I also fell out of lust for the lady in question. We then sent them back out to the floor and were exiting to go back and sleep.

On the way out, I eyeballed one demure pettite lady sitting at the bar and took her hand and she came along to the exit. I had decided to have her if she looked decent enough when we hit the lights outside. She did and we settled for 200k ST with the option of extention if I wanted.

She looked at my friend and offered to go back and bring out a friend who was nice. So, back in she went and came back out with a skinny lady who my friend said thank you NO. She wanted to go back again to choose another lady but my friend said no. Without wanting to attract more attention at the entrance, my friend insisted that he wanted to sleep and forget about the ladies. So all 3 of us packed into a taxi and went back to the hotel.

My sweet young thing proved to be succulent and tender with some of the nicest skin I have ever laid hands on. On matters of sexual gratification, she was vastly less experienced and I had to lead most of the time. About 40 minutes after arriving back in my room, I let out a gushing release having worked slowly to that crescendo. It was a satisfying release. If only she would be a little more participative and I would have added her to my list of "girls to be repeated".

Now, I have even forgotton her name ; she works in a little retail shop in the Panbill Mall in Muka Kuning. We washed up, and I did not opt to have her stay till morning, My little thing already nicely shrunken back to its original size. I went to sleep and was awakened by the telephone ringing. Shits, it was 11 am Singapore Time and there I was lying in bed in Batam! Another night of debauchery had past.

[meatlover]

Been pretty inactive from SB lately ... But what the heck ... Here goes the FR ...

Samsters Involved:
- waypastprime (WPP)
- Ah Tan (AT)
- catch me if you can (CMIYC)
- meatlover (ML)
&
- Batam Man (BTM) ---> Can count you or not har???

This trip was arranged on thursaday (26/8) and confirmed on friday (27/8) as I've promised WPP some time back to bring him to BT. The plan was that I'll be staying for a night while the other 3 fellas (namely WPP, AT, and CMIYC) will be going on a day trip and going back after dinner ...

Saturday (28/8)
We meet up at WTC in the morning together with l3atu, who is going to BL, for a short chat, before taking the ferry to BT ... After an hour or so of ferry ride, we finally reached BTC ... Cleared customs and proceeded to take a cab to the hotel, which I had reserved the day before ...

Upon checking into the hotel ... We took and rest and chill out before proceed to change money ... WO HA ... The girl at the money changer counter swee mak mak ---> WPP ... I think now you still thinking of her hor ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ... After changing our S$ to Rp and buying some logistics, we took a cab and proceeded to Man-Dream to look at the casino ... As its still early, thus not many people on the table ... So we decided to talk a walk and look see look see outside ... Brought them to a nearby joint where I met up with my long time no see regular papi ... Sat down at the joint to have a drink and chill out as it was damn sickening hot outside ... The other fellas looked on as the ceweks proceeded to fall in at the joint's show case ... Recognised a few faces and names, some booked before while some seen before ... I think WPP and AT were pretty disappointed but they soldiered on as they didn't bring their SG KTV / GL / PRC standard / experience over to benchmark ... Actually I see a few bei pah leh ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ... My regular papi told me to that a certain cewek as he knows what kinda cewek I like ... So I just decided to book that cewek without thinking and looking much ... Paid up and told the papi that I'll give him a call to send the cewek over later in the day ... We then headed back to Man-Dream casino ... On my way out of the joint ... Kanna pulled by a couple of ceweks that I've seen and book before and the asked me why never take them ... Actually they already kanna advance book liao ... So I told them you kanna book liao la ... If not you book me lor ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ...

After walking a few rounds, we head outside to have a bite before returning ... WPP and AT proceeded to attack the table while CMIYC looked on as he doesn't wish to play ... So I scanned around ... Hoi ... Bei pah leh ... A couple of junkets can make it leh (really can make it hor) ... Found some names for them ... One is Lin Xin Ru (in my opinion, she resembles Ruby Lin 70%) ... While WPP named another one "xiang shui mei ren" ---> WPP, she smells nice hor ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ...

After some time ... Can sense that CMIYC is pretty bored ... So we decided to head back to the joint previously while AT and WPP continued at the table ... On the way to the joint I called up the hotel to reserve another room for CMIYC ... CMIYC choosed his cewek and paid up (I think CMIYC in his mind already choose her but was still pretty apprehensive then) ... Told the papi to tell the ceweks to reach the hotel 30minutes later ... We took a cab back to hotel so that CMIYC can check in first ...

Soon the ceweks arrived and we proceeded to our respective rooms ... Had a short chat with my cewek and found that she had a very pleasant personality ... Was told by her that she likes to swim ... Well that was certainly a surprise to me as during my short one and a half years of Riau experience, only 4 ceweks told me they swim and they really swam ...

Around the middle of the afternoon ... It was almost time to meet BTM ... As I don't wanna be late ... Me and CMIYC took a cab with our ceweks to Man-Dream to meet up with WPP and AT ... Mine and CMIYC's cewek went back to their joint for a while as my cewek want to take her swimming costume and told her to give me a call when she is ready...

Met up with WPP and AT and left the casino and meet up with the 2 ceweks and took 2 cabs to BTM's favorite noon time bir and pool outlet ... We reached there and make ourselves comfortable while AT and WPP starts off at the pool table ... Soon BTM arrived ... And after the formalities ... The guys continued with the game ... Saw that the 2 ceweks were pretty bored ... So I pass them some Rps and told them to have a game on the J/P machine ... After some time AT sian half liao cos he saw both me and CMIYC had booked ceweks ... AT then told me he wanna book a cewek and will be staying overnight ... Brought him to the nearest joint which was just accross the road while also making a call to the hotel to reserve another room for him ... Kudos to AT ---> You choose cewek very the fast ... Paid up and together with the cewek walked back across the road to join up with the rest ... Then WPP sees the situation not right cos initially the plan was that I'll be staying overnight while WPP, AT and CMIYC will not be staying over ... And also thanks to BTM's constant brain washing on WPP ... WPP decided to stay and take up BTM's introduction of a particular good up market cewek ... So I called up the hotel again to book another room for WPP ...

It was soon nearing sunset ... We decided to make a move back to the hotel so that the guys can check in first and take a short rest ... BTM drove the others back while me and my cewek took a cab back ... Upon reaching the hotel ... We went back to our respect room to rest ... After not long received a sms from BTM stating "FALL IN AT THE LOBBY" ... So I shop shop togther with my cewek went out to the lobby ... Lobby quite crowed leh ... Got me, my cewek and the hotel staffs ONLY leh ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ... After some time the others came out ... BTM brought WPP to pick up his cewek while I brought the rest for dinner ... The timing was just nice ... Food just served and BTM, WPP and his cewek arrived ... Paiseh hor ... The Bak Kut Teh and fish CMI ... But as said previously ... The assam prawn and fried sotong die die must try ... ....

After dinner we headed to a certain KTV at Batu Ampar area ... Place was nice, big, clean and friendly ... The guys OTOT had their drinks, songs, LSS, and bola game ... Saw WPP sian sian so I sms him "WPP, mai sian sian leh" ... He replied "the huan nar songs making me sian" ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ... Soon it was time to leave as it was around midnight liao and also BTM gotta make a move liao ... Paid up and left ...

Parted ways with BTM and we returned to the hotel and subsequently our respective rooms ... Me and my cewek then changed to our swimming gears and headed to the pool for a late midnight swim ... Actually me long time never swam with cewek liao ... Certainly brought back many past memories ... Swam a few laps and took a rest dipping in the pool ... Then my cewek came over to me and started to french and had some light foreplay ...

Got outta pool and headed back to the room to wash up in the bath tub and continued our foreplay session ... Dried up and hit the sack to finish off the main course and proceeded to sleep ... But before that hor ... When I was "washing the rice" ... Received so many phone calls until the point that I dunno is who call ...You all sibei the wu eng hor cos dun let me "wash finish and cook the rice" ... Hiak Hiak Hiak ...

Woke up at sunrise and went for a swim ... My cewek also wanna swim ... So ok lor ... Finished the swim and went for breakfast at the hotel cafe with our swimming gears still on before heading back to the room to wash up and finish off the morning exercise ...

Tipped my cewek for her effort before she went back and called AT and CMIYC ... They had yet to eat their breakfast so I met them at the hotel cafe and chill out while WPP was still deep in his sleep ... Hoi ... WPP ... You sibei shack har ... "san qhair yee" you know ...

I write until sibei shack liao ... To cut it short ... After that check out ---> Man-Dream casino ---> BTC ---> SG ... Back to reality ...

Paiseh if I miss out or left out certain details cos rusty liao and also sometimes its better not to say too much ... Long time boh write FR liao ...

Cheers ...

To add on a couple of things to ML's FR

Xiang Shui Mei Ren
Perfect height for ladies. Long, straight and gold tinted hair. Cat-eyed. Fair skin. Thin. What more can I say? Why do I call her this nick? Coz her perfume smell is so captivating everytime she walked past me.

Money Changer Cina
To me, she's lacking on her height. Other than that, she looks perfectly fine but should be below 21. Or even lesser? Hmmm... She has an upper hand over others, seemingly a mixed blood. Or perhaps a coloured contact lens?

KTV Bola Gal - ML missed out on her. Too bad...
Another stunner. Just wondering on how Batam cinas maintained their smooth and fair skins under such hot climate. Sorry guys, I cant rate them as they have their very own beauty features, one over another.

Overall, Batam cinas indeed look much prettier than Sing gals. Thinking of migrating now. Hiak hiak hiak.

So when is our next trip guys?

[sgmjplayer]

All the cannot book gals prettier eh!?!?.. haha..

Thanks for promoting me, senior.

Well, I have to admit I have high expectations but I am no Mr Handsome. Perhaps u guys have yet to see those good looking ones.
