I didnt really count my spending,but my gross spending is :

I bring S$1040 to Batam before paying for ferry tickets.When i return to Sillypore,i still have 1.22 juta and S$110 left in my wallet. So i roughly spend a gross S$800 before hotel rooms claim back from my company and selling my shopping bag items to my Sillypore customers,hehehe... i was so tempted to stay another night there,which would add up to 5D4N if i do but i know i just have to control myself.

Now i am writing my 18th Batam trip summary and scanning/editing some photo info.

Its my usual practice,or habit to have the 1st meal paid by me.

Its also a big honour to be able to meet up with so many bros in one go. I think this is the 2nd most crowded group trip since i start visiting Batam,hehehe...my most sincere thanks to you for showing the way and leading all of us to have an inexpensive,yet very very good tasting "down-to-earth" food that one dont exactly get to taste it when in Sillypore.

Thank you (and i thank your partner too).

Hotel room : 475k rupiah (decently good hotel)
Overnight Girl : 1 million rupiah
Transport : 120k rupiah
Girl tip : 100k rupiah
Massage : 90k/hr (no special)
Misc/Food : 200k rupiah
Total : 1985k rupiah

Bringing S$250/night stay is on the safer side tho.

And if i were to budget myself in Batam,i will go for :

Hotel room : 300k
Overnight Girl : 800k
Transport : 120k
Girl tip : 100k
Massage : 90k/hr
Misc/Food : 200k
Total : 1610k
(i can still drop another 200k if i were to book a 600k overnight girl)

I will usually bring a spare S$50/night for unforeseen circumstances,hehehe...which i often see the unforeseen happening nowaday,like going to Men's Spa,shopping in mall,watch a movie etc. Watching movie is cheap in Batam,but the pop corns/hotdogs and the drinks is the thing one should always be wary about. I dont count shopping as part of my Batam budget tho cos most time,i am helping others to buy things back to Sillypore.

I actually received an apology email from the Business Development Director of Kaha group.
He apologized for his staff's action and will take action.
He requested for my bank account so to transfer the extra amount back to me.
Should I do so?
The email also CC another 4 Kaha staffs in the loop.

Any follow up on this case,bro?

Thanks and hope all's well.

So,the Tent-looking food store beside Goodway hotel name is Yulif? I dont see a name outside their store tho. Maybe becos we were there at my usual odd timing,thats why i dont see crowd (i dont like crowd).

In fact most food stores that i go to that were known to be crowded usually quieten down by the time i reached,eg Ibu Joko,Momo noodles,Instar Coffee shop,Bai Long etc...hehehe...
