Bro, sharing the same sentiment. To name a recent one, is Bougaville, anybody still remember Bougaville which Pak P has great time there just few months ago, what an honour ?! (I seriously suspect is Pak P who made the place closed forever! )
Puri garden renamed to Neathill? No problem. As long as not Nutshill no big issue. Approved! by MOS!
Hotel 81 maybe the boss like 2000 better (is 81 the former name?).
As for Nagoya foodcourt, I think still standing still cause it is known for quite sometime, wouldn't close down so soon but heard going to be competitive soon cause some foodcourt going to be opened nearby soon!
Life is so unpredictable. So do bonk! Remember 1 month ago, most of the joints are like heaven and now this month like graveyard (no gals, no visitors, not so many to be exact). Last time also got Persona, Island Garden KTV (which for some bros can have some rare gems, ocassionally), "real" Titanic which located at Ozon hotel (even the hotel is a rundown place nowadays. Imagine I play FPS with all the cewek zombies there! Shiok! with my lit bro be my plasma gun! ), another one I forgot the name is a joint in front of Sedona (now Gold Bird), start with B something. Last time even at Noname Karaoke can book gal! Now no more. Even Goodway got some high class cewek last time. Now also gone.
Good observation for the family trip to batam. I also observed some chio gals travelling to Batam from Sinkapore.
I am emo.
I think this month I have to stack more cooking oil and have faith on my both hands.
now i understand what people means when they said...
what's cooking?,,..brother?
quote Mas Joki:
The scene of Batam is keep changing. Just heard from Batam FM. Hotel Puri Garden is changing its name to Neathill or Nahill hotel??? Yet to confirm. Cheongsters take note
Puri Garden changing names??not too sure but the plot behind them which supposing to be the Tang Village is to be redeveloped by Malaysian group IBN into a 28story apartment+hotel+shopping.
Change of Hotel name are Mandarin Hotel to Goodway Hotel, Hotel Pelangi to Batam Travel Hotel and some others. Hotel 81 is also gone. Why is the change of ownership? Business is bad or due to economical reason?
all of the above,i guessed....interest rates for bank loans here are a staggering 16%plus,add the taxes,elect bills....a better picture now??
After the casinos have closed down. Many KTVs and foodcourts have also closed due to less visitors from S’pore. Some popular KTVs like Bovo Club, Rio Rita, Mutiara (beside Puri Garden Hotel), Aloha (at Holiday Hotel), Crown KTV (now Crown Massage Ctr) and especially Dwi Crown KTV which is a very convenient place to cheong bcos Intan Hotel is just beside and Penuin Foodcourt (now still there but closed for about 4 years if I am not wrong) is just behind and Indo-Thai massage is just nearby. Just to name a few.
a normal course of city/business re-vitalisation....if old one go then new ones will come...just like HDB's MUP
So at no time, not only OKI foodcourt is gone. A1 is going soon. Fate of Nagoya Foodcourt is unpredictable. Who knows, all KTVs, massage centre, fish-tank joints, will one day move out of town.
A1 land leased is coming up for renewal soon..its was given to the boss for his contributions during the 'red wars' during the 60's..the local govt may up the duties or decides not to extend the lease altogether as its on prime location.foodcourt is confirmed to go as the boss decides to redeveloped it into a shopping street....Nagoya Walk.fish tanks going???sintai at bt aji maybe a good sample for things to come if they're really going!!
As I observe that many visitors with family and tours are coming to batam to have a clean holiday. And who know, the batam governor might clean up the place. So bros, happy time might soon be gone. Cheong now or never. Good luck to all bros
Agree..things has become more sanitised and 'orderly';asphat roads,road lamps etc compared to 5yrs back..but hoping the batam governor might clean up the place???they have just cleaned up the batam governor...
dwi crown was closed is due to poor business during year 2005
when many polis keep raiding for drugs like estacy pills
the boss who is my distant relative owns the area there
remember the low end hotel and the coffeeshop nearby?
yes...he is the owner too
thats why the place is still intact
i dont know if he intend to sell them or not
remind me of dwi crown...
free and easy karaoke ... fish tank at ground floor
tambola at second floor
private ktv rooms at 3rd floor....
really enjoy during those days
As the afternoon was devoid of sunshine, I decided to walk my way into town. I trudged from the ferry terminal until I reached Bourgainville. I had set my mind towards engaging the lass recommended by Pak P. Guys, I'm sorry to report that although the sign still displayed Bourgainville, it appears that the place had shut down and is undergoing some major renovation. Anyone has any idea where all the ceweks in that stable had moved to?
Bro, if not wrong, since Bourgainville and Permata Indah are owned by same boss, most of the Bourgainville gals should moved to Permata Indah.

Kaoz.....If you move around in that kind of dressing, not only the kids get corrupted, oldman with walking sticks also gets revived. Esp now during fasting months U will notice most gals are quite "covered" up.
Barelang U can try the seafood at the 3rd bridge (if remember correctly). The only place of interest there maybe the Vietnam Village, former refugee camp. There you can find run down church and Quan Yin temple. At the very end may have some crowd at the seaside, and you can buy fresh catch from the fisherman there.
