My time, movie ticket in the Singapore theater was S$2. Then it slowly move upward to S$2.50 and today...about S$12. I almost never watch a movie in Singapore theater anymore since i knew about Batam.
I cant relive the time whereby Singapore movie theater can smoke inside it while i am in Batam (in the 80s,i am not a smoker yet tho), but well...i can at least relive it in terms of pricing. Its around S$3 to S$4 per pax. And Harbourbay Mall outside theater can smoke, practically no one hack care you,hehehe...
If you have some free time, do drop in Batam. Ferry tickets having some sort of promotion, and should be about S$35 per pax on average, hotels cost about S$30 for an average 2 star hotel. Of course not asking you to come here to just watch Rambo, but more of to come here to forget Singapore for a bit, eat and drink at some Batam food courts that has the ambiance FEELS like in Singapore's old days and give your "little bro" a chance to converse with the Indonesian's "little sisters",hehehe...
Cheers!

Hmm...it really depends, but your words remind me of a few elderly friends i got to know during my stay in Formosa hotel beginning of this year, 2019.
According to what he told me, he bought 2 house in Tiban Batam (around S$20k each). Has 4 wives and more than half a dozen children from the 4,hehehe...when his friends come to visit him in Batam, he stays in Formosa Hotel.
He is over 70, i didnt ask for his exact age tho and his friends with him is around his age too. At his age, he choose to enjoy life in Batam. Not wrong. Which is why i said, i envy the old man you mentioned in your previous post...left arm one girl, right arm another. If that is not heaven on earth, hehehe...then what else is?
Compare this man i met and the man you talk about, they are enjoying life. In many ways, they are like Sylvester Stallone, and not forgetting Nicholas Tse's father Patrick Tse 谢贤 (83).
A Big thumbs up to these elderly.
