Hmm...an interesting ferry ticket i saw online,hehehe...

That guy try to sells it for S$10 but i am not buying it,hehehe...becos i bought mine for 380k rupiah, WAHAHAHA!!

...and then buy another few more for 375k rupiah in the next few days of my Batam trip.

Since most of my friends going to batam arent SBF members, its high time i try to convert those orange tickets to the original blue ones where people buy directly from Horizon Ferry counter at Harbour front. Looks like the below :

I was hunting for my one-way S$10 (or below) horizon ferry ticket and found quite a lot of interesting stuffs, so am just sharing part of my findings and analysis. (i called this, understanding ferry companies marketing strategy,hehehe..)

I might just camp outside horizon ferry counter to hijack my non-sbf friends,hehehe...who knows, i might meet Blackpage, Leo and/or Ice queuing in the line some days.

Just sharing but please do not PM me to trade/buy/sell, i do not sell/trade those tickets posted here, unless you wish to pay the same price as buying directly from the Horizon ferry counter at Harbour Front (which again makes no sense for you to do so since they are readily available to the public at S$48 nett),hehehe...enjoy Batam!

Oh, and for those who need some Ramadan basic info when you travel to batam next month,here you go :

Its my collective info on Ramadan over the years above. I believe it should more or less helps a little (to those unfamiliar),hehehe...well, instead of having to repeatedly answering the same old question over again, i put my answers on the above link.

Above link were also in my signature links too, tho not so obvious as yet.

May all have a good time in Batam.

Cheers!

PS : i am also waiting for July 2019 orange ticket since its almost month end now.

Avenger endgame starts today and i was surprise that all Batam theaters ONLY screen Avenger endgame, meaning if you wish to watch other movies, there is none to choose from.

I dont know if this is just today or gonna be longer, but its crazy...i guess the respective theaters probably has done a lot of advance ticket sales for this movie.

Enjoy the movie, if anyone is at Grand Batam CGV.

Hehehe...that the 1st automated i used in Batam, whereby i dont need to pull the flush handle, its auto-flush!!

Talk about toilet, you SHOULD actually try to use the man's toilet in CGV cinema Grand Batam. The way the man toilet's pee tub is made were meant for taller people. Shorter people NEED to rest their dick at the below photo position circle in red,hehehe...

The cinema toilet is not automated, for your info.

Yes, bro...walk in customers to Horizon Ferry counter pays S$48,which is their full price.

(the ticket photo you quoted will cost you a total of S$38 if you travel on weekdays)

So much talks about Horizon ferry, time to also support other ferry companies too,hehehe...Sindo has a new promotion for those bros who prefer to board/alight via Batam center. Simply google Sindo Ferry to get to their main site and starts looking under promotion for those who are interested.

(still valid as stated on their website)

Enjoy Batam.

CGV Theater at Grand Batam Mall...

2 choice of very good seats,hehehe...and they are something like this...

The photo i posted previously (on below link)...

https://sammyboy.online/showpost.php?p=18...ostcount=13571

i was there and they (CGV management) took out ALL the blue colored pillow shown below...

It was a public holiday during my 1st day there, so i guess due to the over crowding, hence they remove the pillows on the bed. Above photo were taken on a weekday tho.

And as for the special sofa chair, its an electronic sofa whereby i can lie down to watch the movie with a click of a button,hehehe..

Sofa seat cost 60k rupiah/pax.

Bed Seat cost 70k rupiah/pax (this one is for 2 person, so will cost 140k rupiah in total).

Benefits of these theater room is at any one time, if i didnt count the total number of seats wrong, there wont be more than 34 person inside it. So its not crowded and get lots of privacy.

During weekday, me and my girls were the only people inside,hehehe...the very reason why i can take all the above photos inside the theater room is because there was NO ONE inside, even after the movie starts, hehehe... cool, isnt it?

Enjoying Batam...

Update : Harbour Bay Food fair ended 3 days ago,last Tuesday.

Good food wise, everyone has a different definition, i am probably the last person to know about good food in Batam,hehehe... my good food were mainly Nasi Goreng and Chicken rice. Yes, i am a boring person when it comes to good food,hehehe...sorry bro.

Food court wise,hmm...

To see more girls, go to Windsor Food Court (famous for their pretty-looking beer girls).

To see more aunties and uncles, go to A2 Food Court (high chance of bumping into someone you probably know).

To see more locals (and some small percentage of solo tourist), go to Lovely Food Court and Utama 98 Food Court.

To see tourist by the truck load from tour agent (during late noon), go to J8 Food Court.

The above mentioned were the more popular bigger-sized food courts within Nagoya premises that has more varieties of food. I dont really take sea food and rarely have them, hence i do not know which food court serve the best sea food. Do note that most sea food seller in these food courts sells their sea food w/o a price tag, so do remember to check prices 1st with the waiter serving you before ordering.
