Here is my continued FR...

Day 2

Had 2nd round in the morning... then tip her. Rest for a while, had breakfast downstairs then decide to change more money. Went to the money changer just beside lovina inn... and the rate was 7800!! Felt cheated but treat it as a learning experience... hahaha. Decided to go have another clean massage... went to First Choice massage... just opened a few mths only. From harapan baru hotel... can see the place... behind the kopitiam.

Prices was cheap... ard 150k for 2hrs massage. Was served by a milf... i was told that the owner is the same from hotel 89. After massage... went to have chicken rice for lunch... beside the kopitiam. 1 plate of chicken rice + 1 drink just 17k. Local time 1.30pm, nego a driver for 15k to send to windsor foodcourt.

From there walk my way to Permata Indah... wow... a lot of syt!! They just do their own business when i walked in... some by the pool table... some by the game machines... a bit hard to choose... hahaha. Took 1 for 600k... went back to hotel for 1st round. Went to sleep and decided to go windsor for dinner as we want to go karaoke at permata later.

As soon as we reach windsor foodcourt... was attacked by the beer ceweks already... hahaha. Ordered 2 rice + 4 dish + 2 drinks ard 300k. It is more expensive than A2... but if u want to relax... see the patrons sing on stage... see the beer ceweks in their tight outfits... and a chance to meet ur previous ceweks from the different joints... then this is the place to be... hahaha. There is a live band but it starts late at ard 9.00pm local time though.

Went to permata after dinner... was offered a complimentary room just for the 2 of us... good service? Hahaha. My cewek is a great singer... i felt happy when she was all smiles enjoying singing her fav songs. After hours of singing... went back to hotel and had our 2nd round. She provides such good GFE... hug me till morning... hahaha. Nxt morning... had 3rd round... then tip her. Actually was intended for this to be a 3D/2N trip... but there is still 1 place i havent go yet during my past visits... decided to stay 1 more night... hahaha.

To be continued...

My final part of my FR...

Day 3

Had breakfast and then rest in hotel room until 1.00pm local time. Nego with driver for 20k to send to lailai hotel. From there walked my walk to Sedona. Got a cewek for 500k. Went back to hotel for 1st round. Went to sleep and went to A2 foodcourt for our dinner at night.

Ordered from a different stall this time... tried Lady Seafood. Ordered 2 rice + 4 dish + 2 drinks + pack of sempurna for less than 200k. Should try the fish head curry... it is delicious! The prices is much more cheaper compared to windsor... it is becoming my fav place now... hahaha. After 2 nights of karaoke... wanted to try something different... asked my cewek to accompany me go Pacific Disco and she agrees...

Took a taxi for 25k to Pacific... entrance fee is 30k for 2 person includes 1 free drinks. Before entering i can already hear the loud music blasting from the speakers inside... hahaha. Sat by the bar and ordered our drinks... drinks are not cheap...1 guiness costs 55k compared to 20k - 30k elsewhere. Not even 5mins inside... was offered "ubat" by one of the peddlers. Not into it... so declined politely. The DJ plays a mixture of malay/indo dugem music... with music blasting from the speakers all around the disco. Sat at a table somewhere in the middle... more people started to come in.

Noticed 1 pretty cewek with a friend near my table... a lot of guys try to hit on her... but she ignore them. She was in a trance... dancing vigurously and sexily... make me itchy downstairs... hahaha. Really enjoyed our time there... relaxing and listening to the catchy songs! After a few hours... my cewek felt sleepy so decided to go back to hotel.

As soon as i step out of the disco... my ears starts ringing... hahaha. My cewek was so used to it... it doesnt effect her at all! Really salute her la... hahaha. Took a taxi back for 30k to hotel and had our 2nd round.

Day 4

Had a 3rd round and tip her. Had breakfast and prepare myself to checkout. Late checkout is until 1.00pm, after that any additional hours costs 20k. After checkout... walked my way to Top100 mall near Astro hotel. Had nasi ayam penyet at the famous Ayam Penyet Ria Restaurant for just 19k with 1 drink! In SG... the same items costs around $10 already. Took a taxi for 30k to harbourbay and took the 2.00pm ferry to SG.

Really had a great time and finally get to visit Pacific Disco!! Hope my FR helps and will post another FR on my next trip in the coming mths...

Total Damage (Estimate) = $650 (Includes 2-way Ferry)

I am writing the same in all Forums I participate to. I don't know why people sticks with money changers. The cheapest way to get local currency is always using a regular international debit card, the one all banks issue to customers without they apply for a special option.
Look at your debit card: if you see the Maestro or Cirrus logo, you can use it everywhere in the world to get local cash, with an exchange fee on the order of 1% (the money changer charges more on the international rate), adding something like 3$ fixed fee. I do this in Batam, Singapore, anywhere. I did it even in Pakistan and Bangladesh (!!)

All these have MASSAGE OR KTV name in it, but they are pick up joints.

Hello. Thank you, but I know all these and more. My point is that New Flamingo was never on my list of pick up joints.
I went to Batam 10 times in the last 2-3 years. I passed by New Flamingo many times by ojek going to Indah2. When I asked, the ojek driver always told me "no good! no booking!". Then why?
I am disappointed I missed one. At least, I like to check. So, how are/were girls there? good? no good? some SYT offering GFE as it may happen in best places? Anyone having experience there might write something...

Withdraw from ATM in batam using spore debit card;
Rp 1,000,000 is SGD 130.85
Exchange rate at 7643.5068
Plus another SGD 5 / Transaction (charges for oversea withdraw)

Not wise to do that

Joint giving higher commission, ojek driver will say "Good"

Joint giving lower commission, ojek driver will say "no good!"

[hendri2]

Never use spore atm cards to draw money overseas...unless you run out of cash...just bring a thousand dollars...you will be happy....haha!!!

That is so true... hahaha. So far the highest paying commision joint to supirs is still Permata Indah followed by Sedona. This explains the high prices permata is well known for... even if u dun book anyone... a lot more is behind u to take ur place. I was personally told about this from my cewek who worked for a few years at permata. The ceweks dun like this though... as higher commision for supirs means lesser income for them in return. When i was there... i cant even use my nego skills to lower the price... even though i came without a driver... see the resillience of the joint mami to me... hahaha.
