The plan for dinner is at...Angrek Sari stall...its like a Zhi Char Store,my travelling friend wasnt feeling so well,so i went there alone with another 2 friends. All 3 of us...ordered about 4 dishes (i think)...they cook everything Zhi Char style. Good food for people like me who eat to live. The thing is ,it is near Mitra Mall area...a 10 min drive.
...and with drinks for 3 person,total bill surprised me at around 130k,hehehe...cheap? I think beside Anah BBQ ,this is the next cheapest food store around for dinner. Next trip's dinner,i will be targeting Hai Ou,since an old friend of my who constantly stays about 30 days a month in Batam and return to Sillypore once every month did once told me that Hai Ou is good (and cheap) and suitable for people like me since i rarely take sea food.
After my dinner,back to hotel.1st thing was to go check on my friend who wasnt feeling too well since the beginning of the trip. I am surprise the girl took really good care of him,went out to buy food for him,buy medicine from pharmacy and even to the extend go back to joint to have the Fruits cut in a plate for him.
Brings back really good memories when my girls from my past Batam trips would bring my clothes back to joint,wash it,dry it before bringing back to me the next day. Some personal touch service.
Back to room,again OTOT until next morning.
I will have to head back to Sillypore today and i still have some time to burn after our girls has returned backto their respective joint. So we head to Indo Rasa for breakfast,then to Nagoya Hill Mall for some quick shopping...before heading back to hotel for my hotel check out. I mean i check out,move to my friend's room as he is staying for another night.
After i checked out of my room,we all head to Octopus Spa,hehehe...and this is the highlight of my trip,hehehe...

In any place anywhere,like i always say,there will never be all good or all bad. If i share all the good and no bad,i am obviously not telling the complete truth and likewise for all bad and no good. There will always be some good in a bad situation or some bad in any good situation. So here we go :
The Good :
1. My massage girl's service was fantastic
2. There is an O2 room which is good for smokers
3. I practically own the spa as i feel like Spa-Alone as i reach there at a desirable good timing like I always do
4. No pushy hard-core sale tactics from any girls so I can be massage in the room in peace
The Bad :
1. Hot pool is like Delta spa,not hot enough. Feels like bathing water for me.
2. There is a surveillance camera at the locker cum changing room,so the security guards (if there is any) actually can see me naked while I am changing.
3. The housekeeping boy is damn slack,i feel he has the bo chap attitude,not worth tipping (but i still tip him 10k) from my perspective.
4. I dont know if this is consider bad cos their cold pool is not as cold as Altalanta Spa.
5. The price is 396k inclusive for a HJ but my massage girl quoted me an extra 100k for HJ
Overall service and facilities wise,i will rate Octopus Spa a 7.5/10 for now since i am only 1st time there. Altalanta Spa i will rate an overall of 8.5/10 and Delta Spa a 7/10. One man's meat can be another man's poison,my rating may varies from another different person. Then again,i am comparing and rating it base on the same timing ,same weekdays i go to for each respective spa and not on their girls. (overall service standard of their girls has their pros and cons) The unfair comparison here is i only been to Octopus once,so I feel i am still not very accurate on the above ratings.
Below are some photos and pictures of the price list on the food and beverages of Octopus Spa for my future reference :
After the Octopus Spa visit,time to head back to my friend's room and prepare to go for late lunch and then head back Harbour Bay for my home sweet home (i remember the last i called it,Hell...hehehe..). Late lunch was at Budi Siang Malam chicken rice store. Didnt pay a cent cos my friend treated me to it...the best lunch in the world is FREE LUNCH,hehehe...
Overall rating for my 23rd Batam trip, 9/10. Why 9/10? It doesnt look fantastic in this summary,right? There were a few things i didnt mention,hehehe...the booking girls,the massage girls and then i have also successful reserve all i need to reserve for CNY 2016. Nope,i think my summary were mainly on getting what i wish to have. I shant go into details about my girlsssssss....hehehe....one word description,totally FANTASTIC!
However,not everything goes on smoothly tho,hiccups like my minor diarrhoea after taking the Avocado drink from Marine Live Sea Food. Damn,there was ice in it which I forget...and this forum's senior bros has warned before,avoid the tap water or ice in Batam (or any part of Indonesia too) if i have a weak stomach,i didnt listen hence the minor diarrhoea. Also partly becos i was sleeping naked in the room all the time with the air-con blowing directly on my stomach when I wasn’t hugging my girls (hehehe…) and with the constant rainy weather, room was colder than usual. And by the way,Marine Live has no flies due to the year end wet season (i guess). Thru out all my other meals in Batam in this trip,i have not taken ice. I just want to try the Avocado drink for novelty sake for the 1st time, since so many friends say its good,hehehe...
Next was my friend wasnt feeling well before he reached Batam. But i think he got better after his Batam trip,hehehe...good exercise climbing up the stairs of those temples we visited,hehehe...and a beautiful and attentive girl “nursing” him back to health,hehehe…
Overall,its more of a rest and relax trip. Ferry was crowded,to and fro from Batam from a Sunday to Tuesday, about 75% - 85% full. Hotel/s were crowded too. Still i manage to beat the crowd by hitting the right place at the right timing most of the time. No crowd on my brunch,lunch,dinner,breakfast...even on the “playgrounds” too,hehehe…
My next trip would be a newbie group trip and i already have a date for it. But i have to summarize up all 12 of my 2015 trips 1st (1 for each month). Jan 2016,i will need to finalize my Feb CNY 2016 trip. Believe me,i am excited like hell now looking forward to it...for nearly 1 year i have been planning this one,hehehe...
Time really flies....
