The next morning,i was up early. My girl was still asleep. I am meeting my friend for breakfast but i am still too early...we had plans eat out for breakfast. I walk around the hotel to get myself adjusted to whatever that is come today,hehehe...positive energy accumulates.
Fresh morning,with lots in Batam to look forward to.....
Photos were taken from Alishan KTV windows,4th floor of Formosa Hotel
I think by now,everyone should know which hotel i am staying in. Looking at the photos above,you will see that most shops were not open for business. Yes,not even the money changers. And i had a fairly hard time trying to find one that are open for business. Luckily i came prepared,hehehe...and eventually found a money changer. Then again,rate was 9500/SGD whereby under normal days,i should be getting 9630/SGD....not good. 1st time in all my Batam trips that i got to know that Sillypore exchange rate is better than in Batam. Only for CNY season tho. (few days before CNY,Arcade was selling IDR at 9600/SGD and about a week before CNY, 9650/SGD)
My 1st stop in the morning...
Meximo Pub Wan Tan Mee...surprisingly,it was opened on the 1st day of CNY.
And at 1015am,the place was already 80% filled...oh,and me and my friends nearly step into onto dog shit when our unreliable taxi driver park near the lamp post where a dog was tied there,hehehe....so lucky for 1st day of CNY....lol.
After our breakfast,we went to pay up for the girls extension. My friend wish to change his girl to the super model SSYT that we were all talking about,hehehe...and she is 20 year old,an ex car model costing 1.2 million rupiah. (hehehe...a head turner) We pay up and head towards our next destination.....
I prayed and did my offerings,hopefully the coming year will be better than the last. We took quite a while trying to get our offerings done due to the crowd. The whole feel was very like the 80s of Sillypore ,going to temple for praying. And by the time we stepped out of the temple,almost everyone has ashes all over and we were all in tears,hehehe...
