Well.....i dunno....most times molesters arent those chengsters.
Coz cheongsters most likely already got their fires put out.
Of coz there are exceptions.

Yeah, I've got some friends who stay in Apt Lai Lai who texted at about 11.30pm WIB saying that there's a fire at Goldbird..

He looked out the window and saw a police car and all the ceweks sitting at the coffeeshop opposite Goldbird...

I wonder what caused the fire... Hope that no one was injured...

The one that they use to make the water look good should be fluoride-kind of chemical. If there is a chance i stay in Gideon again,i will try to remember to go take their water for some lab test in Sillypore.

For those who didnt know,i did mention in my Gideon Hotel stay trip summary before that the 1st few secs when i turn on the tap ,the colour of the water flowing out of the tap were brownish before it turns clear again. So most likely the pipe transfering the water to my room must be very rusty. Recently,i heard from Taiwan news that Taiwan's tap water problem didnt lie with the filtration but more on their pipping. Batam may have similar issue. ( http://syrwater.pixnet.net/blog/post...%B1% E6%A9%9F ) To be safe,i will boil and drink from mineral water bottle instead. If most locals in Batam (and other parts of Indonesia too) prefer water from mineral water bottle than from tap,i am sure they cannot be too wrong.

As for Formosa Hotel,i hear that they have their very own filtration system for their tap water,but the fact is i do not know how often the hotel changes their filter. Still,i will NEVER advise anyone to drink directly from the tap anywhere in Batam,be it boiled or not-boiled. For bathing and brushing of teeth it should still be alright.

For additional read-up on water filtration from the previous Batam thread where a bro fix a water filter in his living home tap.... and he lives in Batam.

Hehehehe...its not my house,but it does feel homely tho. Perhaps i got too familiar with this hotel and their staffs. I walked everywhere within the hotel premises and some of these places were out of bound to hotel guests,eg roof top,staffs entrance etc.

I try to give as much correct information as possible and try to cut back on misunderstanding. I do remember that sometimes "misunderstood information" (and/or misleading information) can be WORSE than no information.

i dont call it "mis-leading information" on some cases becos information shared by one can sometime be misread by another who reads it with a cultural differences and on different understanding of words different people used. I try to put myself in the shoes of the person i replied to.

I did not pursue with enquiry as I already done my booking thru' ibaloi hotel site one week ago for April 2016 at around S$60/S$61 per night. Definitely not a last minute booking but if any Bros run out of options at the last minute, can try to enquire from this kiosk. Who knows you may get something at the very last minute and at a reasonable price.

Good information shared,bro. And i sincerely thank you for it.

No issues there maybe she not comfortable. I found out she actually rides a motorbike to work......coz i see quite a number of motorbikes outside.....haha.

hmm....probably sharing room with her friends or maybe staying with relatives (sister or something). Thats why she couldnt "stay" with you without a valid reason,hehehe...it may take some more time and effort.

Yes,weather was hot and dry. Even tho there was some drizzling in the late morning.(Sat morning and early noon)

Oh,that would make 2 tourist traps altogether for me then,hehehe...for both Nagoya Hill and BCS. Time to look for undiscovered pasture in Batam,hehehe... If roam around to compare prices,some of the things in both BCS and Nagoya Hill Mall can still be quite cheap in local term.

Saw anew recep.....quite pretty n sultry....friendly too....speak good english.
Best part is when she bent down to type computer....her longkang shows.....got a hardon on the spot. Why cant meet such type in chicken farm??

Looks like must go and see this girl in my next trip,hehehe...i have been talking so much on Hana Hotel before but never stayed there. Friends did and i went to visit. Pretty nice and cosy room ,and location is close by to many places most cheongster would like to go.

Yes, should go n see....I also tio stunned when she bend down, her longkang just appear like that. I hardly see this unless is massage lady or chicken farm chicks. Most hotel receps are covered way up to the neck....She obviously know where Im looking...and she enjoy it.
The only bad thing is Hana got small rooms....but last minute booking, Hana always appears to have rooms on Sat.
Should get her HP number.....she is HOT. Think she is MILF level....this makes her even hotter.

Picture Time....taken using Experia E3.
Scale down version. Personally, not very nice using n sometimes need to retake due to blurry issues.
Think use back Samsung better.

Idola


JH Beauty Pricelist - near Top100 Penuin....it is around the shophouses area.

[MiG27]

Flower Massage - walk further up is Jodoh area.


Is this the famous Ocean Massage? Walk out from the Homemart....will see Loy Krathong....walk right all the way towards sea.....will see this.

[MiG27]

Biz Hotel Room - very clean floor and spacious. ask for high floor. Got fridge!

[MiG27]

Blue Bayou - In house massage in Biz. Need room card if take the lift...take the stairs...only 2nd level. I might try the Hot stone massage next time. Others no point. Can see the prices quite high. Good point is it open early.



Should post this first....hehe....my first meal for the day (27 Feb) when arrive at HarborBay. At Indo Food N Drink. Got strong WIFI here....ask for password....they even got check back whether you can get connected...good!
Total 25k with Teh O.

Biz hotel not bad leh... check out the location first...

Yes...but book on Sunday....price more attractive. Saturday fully book usually....unless prebook.
Location definitely the best. Go Utama good, go Formosa good, Nagoya Citywalk just next door, go Tua Pek Gong....also can...but walk the dangerous Jln Komp Nagoya Citywalk. I suggest better walk against the traffic.
I stupid walk with the traffic behind me....any vehicle could hv knock me down.

I wanted to try Hot stone massage last time in China....but didnt got chance....so must try once at least. Flower massage maybe have, so I will check price there first...but environment definitely Bayou better.
