Goodwill or Goodway? if Goodway, Sedona, Berry Indah and Queen8933 is within walking distance. 24th is the day I'm suppose to exit from kost originally. But, depending on circumstances, I might still be here. If so, I can bring you around, saving you some cab fare...

$400 is Enough

[mr bond]

My bet,its goodway hotel haha...ok i will send you a PM....btw wats the ideal time to go to the joints?

[xiaolibiantai]

24th is Saturday. Best that you take the 10:30am (or latest 11:20 am) ferry to Habour Bay. By that, I meant taking Wavemaster ($48). Sorry, I only use Wavemaster cause it only take about 40 min to reach Habour Bay and from Habour Bay to your hotel (which is also where I normally stay) is just a short taxi ride. My bet is that you have not booked your ticket yet right? Give them a call tomorrow at +65 6272 0501 to book your ticket. You need to have your passport number handy. I'm a bit kiasu, no choice lah, typical Singaporean. I just don't like last minute surprises and Saturday morning can expect my people going Batam.

10:30 am ferry will allow you more than sufficient time to go to your hotel to arrange for check in and then proceed to change money before going cewek hunting. 11:20 am ferry will give you time to change money and go cewek hunting. Most ceweks start work at 11 am, meaning they are expected to be in the fish tank around that time. Some ang pai will take their time or are already prebooked by their regulars. So, being Saturday, going around 11 am++ is really important to have the widest selection of ceweks. Also, you won't be guaranteed to find your girl in the first 1/2/3 or nth joints. So, I would really advise taking the 10:30 am ferry.

Just drop me a pm with your contact number. If I'm still in Batam by then, will sms you before your trip on 24th. Anything, just shoot...

Thanks so much bro xiaolibiantai for the insights!Haha you guessed right,i've yet to book my ferry tickets,will give them a call later...

Luckily I still have my Indonesian line in my pocket which they failed to steal. Called my banks to cancel all the CCs and ATM. Lesson learnt, don't bring so much stuff to Batam. Went to the security counter to make a report and they assured me they will review the video camera... Good luck finding them though. Damage from this lesson: SGD1700

.

That is the tactics used, DISTRACTION and the rest from behind will strike. Becareful when taking the escalator as well.

TIPS for all:

1)NEVER BRING ALOT OF MONEY OUT, unless you need to buy certain things that is not available in singapore. Generally, electrical items are cheaper in singapore than here.

2) carry 2 wallets. One for singapore dollars, and the other indo rupiah. Usually, they have SEEN YOU OPENING UP YOUR WALLET when you make payment for something, and they mark you for it. I learn this lesson before, before I kena pick pocket years ago. I open my wallet to make payment at cashier and not long after that, I kena picked. They watch their victims before raiding them.

3) put your valuables in the safe in hotel and carry them home when you leave for ferry. Shopping centres are the best place for them to find victims becos most victims are too DISTRACTED BY SHOPPING.

4) Ceweks you take for shopping are not to be trusted at all times. If you want to buy something for them, make sure you just take about enough for the things, and NEVER LET THEM HAVE THE HOTEL KEYS.

After all the years living here, I still feel here is much safer than JB. At least I have not heard of open robbery, and the gangsters here take care of their territory well. Petty crimes are always there, but the robbers better not be caught by the locals or they will suffer a beating.

Hope this helps.

Brudder,

Depend on what you want to spend. Can be enough, can be not enough.

If 2 nights you want go eat seafood, then seafood will cost about plus minus $100 per night. Then will not enough if you still want to cheong cewek.

But if eat like Ayam Penyek, only cost less than $10. Will be enough.

Also, if you want day time go massage, take special in massage, go salon wash hair, clean ear, do facial, etc. Need spend some money. If at night go pubs, surely need drink. Then maybe you need little bit more money.

But if go and control spending type, like go pub just just one drink for whole night, wash own hair, dig own ear, if want massage go shopping centre find massage chair sit down for one hour free type, then can be enough.

So brudder, depend on your spending.

Thank you brudder.

[xiaolibiantai]

Yup... It all depend on how you intend to spend your time here. Seafood for 2 persons (you plus cewek) plus beer will take about 400-500k. My girls don't drink or smoke, so my bill with then for dinner is normally about 200k nia. Massage can take from 60k per hour to up to 1 juta if you take special at places like Newton for full sex. And, if you bring cewek for shopping, it can range from up to 100k for toiletries to 3-400k for clothings or even more.

For one night, I advise cheongster to bring $400 but change $300 for expenses. Maybe bring $500 and change $400 bah... Or even bring more as it's really not worth it to use ATM or CC here.

[Jswt]

My day finally come... Wait untill mood almost die...
Next monday to the holiday oh yeah~

Plan, Staying in goodway, theoritically paper research here is 7788 alrdy.
But hope the first 3 joint cewek hunting can find the one, no need to waste time to run around the place.

[Huahua]

Hello,

Cewek is girl
They have all sort of ages group. No worry, but usually e younger one are the most expensive. E cost of the Cewek can be range from 500k to 1.5m

All the above are massage behind DC malls for reference only. Those with salon and massage? Dont bother if you want speicals.

THere is a new massage by the name of FRESH MASSAGE infront of Jodoh 100, behind the makan bakso shop, not too far from tropical Bali( clean), yet to be tried out. Very new.

Hope this is some help to brothers.
