If only i havent already purchase my ferry ticket before you made your previous post (last month) on the 380k rupiah Horizon Ferry ticket,...if only i am a bit less kiasu (or less excited of my CNY trip,hehehe...)...if only i knew Horizon ferry isnt going to increase the ferry ticket price this year...if only someone would have update me in this thread or via PM (about Horizon not increasing price)...i would have buy the 380k rupiah Horizon ferry ticket in Batam,hehehe....

All happens in the wrong timing,hehehe...nonetheless,its always good to see cheaper ferry tickets, cheaper taxi fare, food/groceries pricing and most important of all, cheaper yet younger and prettier-looking girls in Batam (i didnt pay for my Ferry ticket, some else did tho,hehehe...).

Tonight, fireworks time...tomorrow, temple time...followed by massage , movie and then reviewing of last year's CNY movie. I think i should be spending about the same as any other regular days when in Batam.

hey bro nono, thank you for your links and info, it helped a lot!

on a side note about ferry tickets, i always purchase mine from qoo10, return at $35.80, plus can use the $2 discount coupon qoo10 gives out almost daily.
Nett price is $33.80.

no surcharge during cny as well.

@jenquai

Those tickets go to Batam Center, which Nono don't prefer using.

On Qoo10 tips, can use their $10 coupon (min spending $50) and 500 qpoints to hit $28.30 per ticket.

Anyone want to go on Wed and return on Thur? PM me.

Brought 2 bros from this forum to batam for 3 days 2 night on the 30th of jan. what i notice from most of the joints is you need to go early and by early i don’t mean 10am as the girls are not ready. 1pm is the ideal timing to look for them, and the 2 bros including me are young chaps so u can really see the cewek looking up in excitement as we are young guys. I’m not saying they won’t look at uncles as they say if u have money anything can happen what i’m trying to say is service will be much better if u are young. And 1 advice is try not to bring them straight to hotel. Build up some chemistry with them and i assure u they will treat u guys like kings. And 1 newbie mistake is if u guys are new try not go to to the house alone. Unless your bahasa is fluent then no problem for u but it would be better to have a driver to go inside with u so the papi or mami will not try to scam u. With all that being said i’m planning to go batam again real soon those who want to join can pm me!

hi anyone going 8feb coming friday? thx

Harbour Front, so crowded...hehehe...this CNY, i lost to myself for trying to save money. I need to queue around 10 mins to get my passport chop at Harbour Bay becos i wasnt taking the Business class. 5 out of 6 counter was open from the immigration side,they havent clear,lots Singapore Froeign workers in the queue before my ferry touch down too (so different from my last CNY year,and the one before).

Photo below is at Harbour Front waiting area

The only lucky thing is, Horizon Fast Ferry was only 30% full. I strongly believe Batam Center ferry terminal should be ultra crowded (waiting time should be at least doubled mine),hehehe...however taxis at Harbour Bay is trying to increase price to 50k rupiah,so always ask the price to pay before boarding at Harbour Bay.

Saw quite a few sweet-innocent looking (small built,young,no-dye hair,not-fat or ugly type, minimum make-up) girls at New Berlian,hehehe...a place many probably forgot.

Reason is becos during 2018, they changed their furniture and done some make-over,hence i need to allow some "benefit of doubts" in between a period of time to allow them room for improvement.

Its like last year today you go Batam,and this year you go Batam on the same place, surely there will be some mild difference. And this period of time is technically the "room for improvement" period.

Amir, bed bugs!
