Hehehe..I know it will be full today,like it always does during most weekends. Its a super ultra long weekend this weekend till Aug 9th which is another public holiday in Sillypore. So I am expecting a super ultra crowd Batam from today onward.
Maybe someone you knew (or seen before) may be in Batam today but definitely not me.

I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say. I've 2 free rooms with hotels.com sifat already. And Agoda gives me air miles.. oh well... Choices.

Yea,i think when it comes to point accumulation for some free night stays in Batam Hotels,Hotels.com and agoda does it better (given their range of hotels to choose from). The membership plan is only good for discount on their retail outlets. In case you haven't realize,their restaurants (Vienna and Tea story) has up their food menu prices by more than 10%. And they took away their original 20% off (for Viena Restaurant). So meals in Formosa hotel were actually more expensive than in the past regardless of any kind of membership status I am in now.
A gentle reminder, do test out the Goodway Hotel wifi...as its a weekend. It was not very good the last time I was there nearly 2 years ago ,even when it shows 4 out of 5 bars signal strength.
