It was the first visit of my life there and i must say Batam isn't really quite how i imagined it to be like. I expected the place to be quite city-like and full of housings..but it turned out to be a place with more forestation than urbanisation. I hardly saw any prostitutes too lol..
We stayed at my friend's uncle's resort called the KTM resort..it was at the end of batam facing singapore and i must say the location is quite good. Despite that we were the only guests in the whole resort the day we arrived. We had special priority since the boss's nephew was with us...everything's cheaper and we got to try everything including their motorcycle. Henry crashed twice lol...
After putting down our luggages we went to do a little shopping and then a massage..it was $10 for one hour...reasonably cheap...got molested but who cares lol. Oh and do you people remember Texas Chicken? Coz i seem to be the only one remembering that fast food chain...they had one outlet there..was so tempted to try but didn't have the chance..next time perhaps. After that we had seafood at a hawker centre..the butter prawns were good. We tried fishing when we went back to the resort but i couldn't even catch a seaweed...henry was the only one that managed to catch a small fish he named morpheus..where did that come from right? Haha. After fishing came mahjong..we played all the way to 6am singapore time and i managed to win $15 hehe.
Dreamt that i bought a new bike that night lol...when i woke up it was raining and it didn't stop till quite late in the afternoon...that meant that our initial planned visit to do some sea sports was cancelled..and we're glad for that coz we would have been broke after that. Played mahjong again before BBQ.
The BBQ was specially prepared for us..we felt like kings and queens...we didn't have to buy, marinate the food or start the fire...everything was done for us although we requested to peng the food ourselves. We had special uninvited guests throughout the BBQ...first came the flies..but when it became dark..they left abruptly...then came the mosquitos..they were the most irritating for all...i counted 20+ mosquito bites just on my left leg alone..can you believe it? It sucks and it itches...
After having our fill...we went to sing karaoke..they ordered 4 jugs of god damn tiger beer and 2 jugs were given free..that means we had 6 jugs of beer. I was feeling sick already after swallowing one mug..beer totally suck..the guys started toasting the birthday girl meiwen and she had around 6-7 mugs before she finally puked...it came abruptly and the ktv room floor was a mess haha. After that i realised that Khenghong's birthday was coming too and suddenly the tables turned and he was NEXT..he got really drunk and started blabbering nonsense..and when we asked him the next day he couldn't remember what happened the night before...it was that bad haha.
The third day was slow too as the two of them were having hangovers. We went for another massage again...this time the girls and the guys had to split coz there weren't enough rooms in one. God damn...my masseuse had bull strength...it was painful but shiok i guess..they were conversing with us with their half past ten english and they said i look like one of their jarkata celebrity. They even suggest that we marry them..have a wife in batam and one in Singapore so we can interchange lol...
After massage it was seafood dinner again before we started heading home..had fun...thanks for the company people and do keep in contact cheers.
