I have it good during my previous 1st 2 to 3 years in real life (better than before). Was it becos i visited batam and prayed to Tua Pekong and Guan Yin. So 1st day of CNY 2017,i walked just outside Tua Pek Kong windsor....planning to step in.

Notice big group of Indians/Bangladeshi foreign workers on the photo above?

8.08am Batam time.

Sincere thanks for the updates.

Hai Hai was giving me 9200/SGD,they say best rate on 1st day day CNY. I need their small notes,becos Sillypore money changers gives me all notes in 100k denomination ,so i changed from them (hai hai) S$110 and break part of it into 10k and 50k denomination. They ran out of 20k notes.

Yea,agree...the who waiting area feels like Sillypore's Little India,hehehe...and nearly every ferry was delayed,including those from horizon. I am lucky, foreign worker couldnt afford horizon's ticket price and my ferry was no more than 50% filled. Business class has only 4 passengers,hehehehe...

Horizon was delayed for 15 mins prompt to arrival in Harbour Bay. Batamfast and Majestic to Batam center was a crazy jam. I hear from taxi drivers some of their customers were due to arrive at around 730pm,but they turn up only at 930pm plus.

This is the 1st CNY i didnt have to visit booking joints. Am trying something new (to me),hehehe...

Maybe going to New Berry later.

Astro Food Court,Eatern Food court and some smaller scale food court was closed. Indo rasa was close during CNY eve. A2 was buzzling the whole time,may chinese stall opens,hehehe...cannot go Meximo pub wan tan mee becos my girl is Muslim as they are also open every CNY.

Already have 2 nights of intensive exercise,now whole body also muscle clamp,hehehe...

Going for revitalization later,so as to be able to 'exercise' myself more when my other girl from Surabaya were flown to Batam later on,hehehe...girls at major joint cost as high as 1.7 to 2.2 million rupiah (excluding tips),i paid 800k to each of mine for 2 nights but a 2 way air ticket is costing me an EXTRA 1,328 200 rupiah (+30k) tho,hehehe...so in some way, i still pay a tiny bit lesser for the better (but i got rid of the competitions).

Trying out something new this CNY 2017. If it works well,i may continue to run some more testes at later stage to try to cut the extra cost for the future,hehehe...

*Note : i am not an OKT,nor have any future plans to become one either.

Took the 420pm Majestic fast ferry from Harbourfront yesterday. No delays. They added an extra trip for 440pm.
With the exodus n added trips to Batam Center, the crowd was crazy.
The Q went all the way to the bridge. Alot of FW too. Locals need not join the Q there by the Q hardly move. Was stucked waiting to get my pp chop for 21/2hr
Happy lunar new year guy!

Wow.. 2.5 hours just to get past the immigration!! It's times like this that the business class on Horizon Ferry comes in useful.

Yes, should try to hv some exklusive for yourself...rather than using common pool...if you found a good gal then keep it for personal use...just my opinion and not necessary to follow...
