66 more than enough to me.
I have no wish to be alive beyond 60 in sillypore.
I cant even get my CPF money back.
To your question...yes I think it is a good trade off.
I was chit chatting with my colleague a few days ago....if given a chance to relive life....
1. Enjoy 15 good years of living up....private jets, swanky hotels, yachts, porsche...and bevy of Ms Universes and top models as escorts every night.....as a drug lord....then suffer the next 15 years in jail for your past criminal acts....
2. Slog thru 30 years working as lowly employee in sg....cannot afford cars, flat,....etc.
Which one will you choose to be?

Agree with you on the part of the CPF...and my fren belongs to the "pioneer package" group but haven't smell those packages already gone. Guess that's fate.
As for the trade off 30 years,i always believe in Sillypore,one needs to build your own "Goose" during young time. A Goose that lay golden eggs whereby when one is unable to work after his/her retirement age if he/she is still single in Sillypore,the goose continue to provide the eggs. Many has advise against my fren's decision to sell off his 3 room HDB flat since it has been fully paid off during his young time. Many has advise him to rent it out instead selling it off which i fully agree back then. If he has taken our advise during then,he may not have come to such sorry state. Then from another contradicting angle of view,if he didn't sell it off...he may not have enjoy to the fullest for his 10 over years and his hard earned "asset" likely to land onto his next-of-kin who'll enjoy it after he pass on.
The choice in question for my fren will be,should he keep the goose that'll likely give him a steady life or sell his goose and get a good life for a short frame of time. I guess the answer is to each of its own.

IMHO - if the guy wants to keep a gal in any country and want to try out...is ok to rent a place and then observe...pay spies to report gal movement and try to do surprise visit without letting gal know when you visit...you will be surprised what you dun know...when you tell her when you are expected to come then all things can be staged...if you dun tell then she is unprepared...and surprise...hahah...^^

Thank you for sharing bro. I like the spy idea thing u suggested,hehehe...i never use this tactic before. I used the technology method back then. Install a couple of Spy cam and security cam inside(& outside) the house i bought under my girl's name for almost 8 years.(not an indo girl in indonesia)
Hmm...come to think of it,perhaps i should consider starting a small business in Batam installing security cam for people who keep mistresses there where they can view their Batam mistress's home from whichever part of the world they are in. *joking*
Pardon my ignorant,are there such security cam businesses in Batam? Maybe in Wetnam too? I happen to "meddle with" one of Batam's Hotel security network cam before during one of my trip,and realise that their tech security isn't as advance as those in Sillypore & Australia (even China),hehehe....

As advised by some from here, you can help make her return back to kampung. After that, end the relationship. What you did there is good enough for her.
Let her enjoy her retirement in the kampung. |
You are most welcome and all the best to you and your fren.

Seriously, I have no contacts nor knowledge apart from what I could google and reading this thread a few pages gave me some insight about the fasting month and practices there.
If there is anyone who can provide help or assistance to (providing a contact or) getting a trusty girl to spend my Tuesday night there, I would be deeply grateful. Just a note, you guys are talking to an erotica blogger who only travelled to Pinang once with a male friend on a business trip. So.. noobish me.. haha. |
If you are travelling to Batam for the 1st time,feel free to read the Batam basic Walk-Through guide on my signature or use another alt way recommended by some seniors to read back hundreds of pages of this thread.
The basic Walk-Through guide are designed to the best of my knowledge as a newbie ;for newbie like myself to read and navigate Batam in the most basic form,hopefully can cut back on repeated basic questions that has already been answered over and over again since the beginning of this thread 7 years ago. I hope it can also help newbie from getting chop carrot head as well as preventing them from over-paying & spoiling the market of a good playground.
Sorry about not able to provide any contacts cos i take the advises from seniors of this thread not to trust anyone when i am in Batam. In other word,i don't keep contacts. I may be heading towards Batam around the same time as you.but it's my 1st time travel to Batam during the Ramadan period so i am learning as this thread move along.
Hope you have a good time in your 1st time travel to Batam.
