Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Oh,by the way...my friend and me had 2 breakfast. Breakfast part 1 was in the hotel 11th floor,part 2 was at Momo. My girl (1st night) was waiting at the hotel lobby around 10am for me where i tipped her 150k. Like i say,witnessed...hehehe...

I took some photo from the 11th floor while we were having breakfast tho...


Sorry that i didnt take photos of the breakfast spread. All i can say its almost similar like those i see in Formosa Hotel,beat Gideon one,almost equivalent to Goodway hotel but lose out to Da Vienna Hotel.

We didnt really eat our fills in Biz becos we all know we are heading for round 2 at Momo,hehehe...and after round 2,we need to go shopping. But not before i head to buy HDMi cable to test out their 40' LCD TV,hehehe...

Shopping time,my friend got a girl from Happy 8 at 1.2 million rupiah (bargained from 1.35 million),myself got a girl whom has returned from her hometown at 700k. Both girls were around early 20s,tall,slim,pretty enough etc and supposingly SYT...mine gave birth twice whereas my friend one has not (if i dont remember wrong).

Now this is the day i am in luck as well as piss off (almost blowing my top) within an interval of the 4.5 hours noontime.

In luck becos i visited a massage shop,got 150k for 1.5 hour massage and a 150k hj + fj with everything off,full roaming. And YET got a free hair wash + face wash. I feel so paiseh (and good) that i treat every single staffs in the massage joint a drink costing me an extra 60k.(10k per drink per pax) Keep in mind,i dont pay extra 60k for nothing. With 60k,i get to see all the massage joint's available massage girls in person on that particular shift with all of them thanking me one after another. It is value for money from my perspective.

Good,so all the noon shift girls now know me,hehehe... (i have so many plans in my future trips)

Now for the piss off part. I am suppose to buy some stuffs from pharmacy for my part time boss. I visit my usual A shop,they ran out of stock,so i visited B shop. Price was about 20% higher,so i visited C shop and followed by D, E and F shop. What pissed me off was when i bargained with D shop bargained with them,got a good price tho still higher than A shop. I returned to buy after F shop and when i reach there,they told me they didnt even have the stock to begin with. Honestly,why waste my time to be even talking and bargaining when they during the initial start do not even have the stock i need at all??

And becos i raised the volume of my voice (not shouting tho),i believe i must have left them a not-so-good impression. Yes,i wasnt shouting in their presence,but i must admit i was cursing and swearing when i am back to the vehicle where these action of mine was witness by the 2 girls and the driver in it. My action also spoil my later pharmacy visit mood when i become no longer a nice guy. So,i practically threw away the 3 rules of mine (be nice,be humble,be patient) This is the 2nd time in all my Batam trips that i lose my cool...1st was during Feb 2015 at Kroepoek food court Nagoya City Walk (by the way,Kroepoek food court has reopened but renamed) :

https://sammyreviews.store/showpo...ostcount=29148

Its the 2nd time,so i am keeping a record of it in this summary to serve as a reminder for myself. There is always a price to pay for mistakes and i pay it with a higher priced merchandise (too prideful to return to the shop that sells at a lower price as i am still in hulk-mode),a higher blood pressure (affecting my negotiation with other pharmacies when i talk to them,remember i dont speak bahasa)and scaring the girls (leaving behind a bad impression). See,nothing really good comes out from anger and losing my cool.

Anyway,a friend who wish to link up sms-ed, suggesting dinner. I learned that he was at MB Massage and we arranged for our dinner meet up at hotel lobby of Biz. I send the 2 girls who were with me to the hotel 1st before heading to my Pharmacy hunt again (i felt bad actually).Hehehe...i must have visited most Batam's major pharmacy. One thing i learned from all the pharmacy visit is,those Chain-Store-Type of Pharmacy sells their products MORE EXPENSIVE. Those w/o a chain store connection pharmacies sell things cheaper and can even bargain down,hehehe....i learned something.

I had a tired time trying to help my part time boss buy this stuffs at the right price. Head back to Hotel,rest a little w/o getting my 1st round and it was about dinner time. My link-up-friend turn up a little early and i just have to show him my room.

Note : It was already my 2nd night in Batam,so i have already switch from the 670k rupiah Junior suite to the 820k executive suite during the morning after my 1st night girl is gone.

Its not like everyday i stayed in a pretty cool room,hehehe...so i MUST show it to my link-up-friend.


I like this room,but its expensive in a way. So no more staying in here unless the hotel plans to give me a free upgrade again. 820k rupiah hotel in Batam,i will have many choices. And lastly,this room like the junior suite i stayed in the previous night, they have had 2 toilets...


...and to my surprise, the corridor from the lift elevator to my room isnt air-conditioned.

There is no safe box in the junior suite,however both room has a cooler which i do not have much usage on.Believe me,i have been searching high and low for the safe (even when i dont use it at all). Junior suite has a smaller fridge tho and w/o the kitchen. Master bedroom toilet for executive suite is much bigger.

Comparing the Junior suite and Executive suite,i actually like the Junior suite better even when its smaller in size. (smaller room,stronger air-con) Staying in this 2 bed rooms is like staying in the BTO flat of Sillypore today versus staying in a HDB flat my grandpa stays in 30 years ago. My grandpa's flat more spacious.

Junior suite = BTO Flat

Executive suite = my grandpa's flat 30 years ago

Both suites has a Jacuzzi Bath tub as well as a LCD TV inside toilet,hehehe...1 room 1 hall kind with one Mitsubishi aircon in each cubicle area. That should be enough information for Biz Hotel Junior Suite and Executive Suite.

Kaha Pricing for Biz Hotel -

Moderate/Economy room : 370k rupiah

Superior room : 400k rupiah

Deluxe room : 520k rupiah

Junior Suite : 670k rupiah

Executive Suite : 820k rupiah

Remember this :
Smaller room = stronger air-con ventilation.
