As i already called my usual gal to come over. 2 shots at night and 1 before she leaves in the morning. Gave idr 700000 and a small miniature perfume. She left happily. Took shower and called up my friend for breakfast. After finish breakfast, rest for a while before going to terminal. Both few beers before took the ferry. Leaving batam with great satisfaction even though missed my targets.
the end.
I hope i never bored anyone with my story.
Cheers&happy hunting

Look like your trip got good got no good. Anyway,i suppose it's part of Batam's hit & miss. Out of 10,how many point would you rate your Batam trip this time round? My rating for my 1st Ramadan Batam trip was 7.5/10 tho,hehehe...

Next time in Formosa ,ask for room close to the lift...Wifi will be a bit better.

Just to check, are the fuck houses open during hari raya?

According to what i have read in this thread from bro Black Page and other bro's postings input,more advisable to go 1 week after Hari Raya,more choice of girls to choose from. I think most places would be closed during Hari Raya and for the 1st 3 days after Hari Raya.

Yes correct. The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated for a month. And the festival is quite colourful with all type of offering for praying like ‘Black Gold’ (黑金) for Prosperity, ‘Rice Pot’ (米桶) for Abundant, ‘Fortune Prayer Pot' (发财炉) for Fortune, etc where the biting (竞标) can go up to at least 50 of thousands of Sing dollars…………

Hungry Ghost Festival is commonly celebrated in Sillypore but in Batam, for so many years I cheong during the ghost month. I barely see anyone is praying on the road side or any feeling that the Chinese family is praying when I stayed at a rented house where the area are mostly chinese. I only see praying in temples when I visited but I do not know whether they are praying for the Hungry Ghost…..

Well, I need to check it out and be more observance this coming ghost month when I cheong in Batam. But nowadays, young Sillyporean do not believe in the Hungry Ghost Festival or ‘pantang’. So it made no different to them for cheonging…..

I know the Muslim religion and the malay culture too. But it is even more interesting to learn more on how the Indonesia people practice their religion in the different way from the explanation given by good self bros here. A lesson I have learn.

I happened to book a gal from Dynasty 99 and she also ate pork when we go out for dinner together. She said that her Chinese Sillyporean tamu (guest) told her that by eating pork, it can wards off the evil spirit and the chants of the malay Bomoh who is putting a spell on her if anyone try to do harm to her. She said that Malay/Muslim is very afraid of pork or pig, so the Malay/Muslin spirit or evil spell would not dare to go into the body or near to that person who consume pork. It is really amusing and I really had a good laugh on that. I wonder any of our Senior Bro here trying to bluff her into eating pork…. Hehehe (Joking)

No offence is intended to any of our malay/muslim bros here if any. Just a sincere comments on what I encounter and share the experience on this topic.

Salute to bro nono for answering every single question that put forward to him. You are a very kind soul bro. Talk about coffee you also can…. Hahaha Thumb up!

Agreed with you,bro Mas... that at some points,off topic a little do spice up the thread. It's just that i am used to staying in topic as stated on thread title,sorry bro...just personal preference here. i need to emphasise here that a little off topic in this thread sometime do helps me understand the situation and culture of Batam better. Not forgetting that Batam is part of Indonesia,whereby Jakarta is still its Capital and closing of Dolly & their ongoing election do affect Batam one way or another.

Talking about Hungry Ghost in Batam,i believe i need to pay the temples a visit if i were to make my trip next month during the festive. I will then learn how Hungry Ghost is celebrated there as well. Come to think of it,i wonder if the temple in Batam will sell those hell notes and paper Ipaq etc etc or not...lol. If not remember wrong,i think i do see some ancestral tablet somewhere in corners of those temples i visited previously...it'll make sense if they do celebrate Hungry Ghost. But am guessing most likely not as active as in Sillypore. So long i don't go and step on burning incense paper and the offerings if i see them in the street and most importantly,be extra respectful to the unknown.

I'm sorry,i cant help laughing when you talk about the Dynasty99 Girl you book,when she explain how she come about to start eating pork...lol. But i think the person who talk her into taking pork make sense too,tho it may sound a bit stupid. I was in NS when i hear story about bringing pork Bak Kua into Pulau Tekong Camp and people getting possess becos of their possession of Bak Kua. And also how the Temple medium force the spirit out of possessed person by forcing him/her to eat raw grass plucked from the ground.Anyway,what i say here are just hearsay during NS time.

In case you didn't realise,most of your postings in this thread are rather in depth,and i benefited quite a bit from it. I can only reply others to the best of my understanding of this thread and personal field experience when it comes to Batam stuffs. As for coffee,it happens the topic is on Luwak coffee and i am interested in it since Batam sells it. So in order not to get chop carrot head or cheated to buy fake stuffs,therefore i check online before i ask my many questions. Thanks for your compliment.

There is actually another thing that i am very interested in that are for sale in Batam....hehehe....that is their sea food. While i may be allergic to sea food,i am actually more interested to Batam's dry sea food that has therapeutic herbal effect,example Dried Sea Horse? I remember seeing somewhere in this thread before that near BCS area got a wet market,now my question is if there will be dried sea horse for sale there? or if it is for sale anywhere in any part of Batam? Reason why i ask is becos dried sea horse in Sillypore are very expensive stuffs and i need to find it and compare the prices with the one sold in Sillypore. It's meant for a part of a herbal ingredient mix for some usage,and i do understand it's another of my ignorant question. So no obligation to reply tho.

Bro Authenticanie,you have just post some good info at the right timing this time. Let's hope IDR comes to 10k/SGD 2 weeks after their election result....*joking*
