Sounds complicated,hehehe...its not an SOP anyway becos i dont fix to the same schedule all the time.Sometime when I do feel that the 1st day of the massage session during daytime is a bit of wasting money and time (but i still planned it anyway,hehehe...). In case you havent notice,there are 2 massage session a day,1 day time,1 at night. If i dont go for massage session,i go Batam sightseeing (eg. temple etc),and if i go massage the massage girl is unlikely to win me over with her special service unless she agree to my price,hehehe...or if i have lots of time,i can get both sightseeing and massage session together.
Hmm...that reminds me i will need to walk back my path and pay Manzu a visit.

First thing first, from Batam Ferry Terminal go to Pancil to recce with my unreliable driver, if there is MP, may pop in to try, take lunch, afterwhich check into Da Vienna Hotel and subsequently (have to see timing)....

I think our itinerary pretty much similar. But over the last trip and those upcoming ones,i will be putting in more effort into dwelling. Nearly half of 2016 is almost over and i have not yet come out with things i wish to come up with.

First time may also be my last time. But frankly speaking, massage is really good, you can feel certain stroke and the system of massage.

I would have done the same too,for once for novelty reason. The Da vienna spa belongs to the 1st tier spa-kind. Not easy to find one that offers special and yet cheap enough. But there were already 1 or perhaps possibly 2 coming to be added in my collection of secret joint list. (special thanks to the bros who share the info)
What i need for in a hotel ,using Formosa as a bench mark :
1. Good enough 3 star hotels with all basic amenities i need,eg hair dryer,air con,shower place,clean enough bed etc. - This should be easy as many hotels will have. All Batam hotels that i stayed before meets this requirement.
2. Cheap enough hotel massage that can be called in to my room. - This is not what every hotel has but i solved this problem long ago if i am staying in other hotels w/o a massage shop or those expensive ones.
3. Hotel room service food mustnt be overpriced - Again,this is not every hotel has. Tried Harmoni,Goodway, Gideon...the in-hotel food price scares me when they use S$ as a kind of benchmarking,hehehe...sometime i am just too lazy to walk out of hotel to buy food after a "strenuous battle",hehehe...
4. Personal touch service by hotel staffs - This i believe require some time of staying in a hotel. In order to have person touch service,i always believe i need to allow the staffs to know me. It is not fair to compare other hotel/s with formosa hotel when i stay in Formosa 100 days in it (example only) before and only once or twice in another (just like joints,places,MP and girls). But the non-Formosa Hotel also must have the basic service (from their staffs) that makes me feel they will have the potential for this kind of person touch.
5. Hotel staffs respond - i have a problem as a guest in a hotel,how well and fast they respond to my request or a situation I am facing. Are they able to solve my problem there and then or do i have to call them more than once for the same issue?
6. Hotel surrounding - Its about how far and close-by i can reach a place using my foot to reach a destination i wish to go hence i often use approximate foot steps to measure point A to point B from where i stay. Hotel to a mart cannot be too far away. 3 to 5 mins from hotel front door is my limit to measure close distance.
Formosa : Less than 30 steps away from front door
Da Vienna : About 60 steps from front door
Biz Hotel : About 10 steps away from front door
Within 100m radius,good-enough food should be easily available too.
7. Hotel entertainment amenities (Massage/KTV/Booking joint/Bars,disco and Pub etc) - At least 3 of such places need to be within 5 mins walk away from the hotel. And what i mean is no point staying near to Sakura Spa,Majestic Spa and Spa Secret. A hotel near Keyza,a5 and Hallokitty etc is definitely better than a hotel near Nagoya Hill Mall and BCS mall from my perspective. This part really depends on what any individual goes to Batam for too. And in the middle of it all is............? Hehehe...
My current ways of working around things is,if i cannot get cheap good massage in ,say a hotel like Da Vienna/Biz,i bring the cheap massage places over there then. But the problem i am facing now is,if i am staying in KTM resort around Sekupang or Montigo Resort around Nongsa...i wont be able to do the same as my knowledge is only up to Nagoya area.i become restricted,therefore i need to source out more.
Thats the reason why i keep saying,i need to learn to source and then dwell. Who knows one day i decide to stay nearby Barelang Bridge area and bad luck happen to befalls on me and i become room-alone? (and i have no back-up pussies,hehehe...)
Sorry,a bit of a kiasu mentality here,hehehe...
