He may be at around the food court drinking with friends (& likely to be walking not so steadily which is considered a good target to "passerby") and probably on his way back home/room.

By the way, location of the attack is about 10 mins walk to Utama Hotel and Pagoda Hotel.

He likely flashing his money and kanna bio already.

Hehehe...Formosa is history (265, 275 & 277 were all smoking room, another one i can't bother to flip back because it's for non-smoker), now my favorite room is 209.

Must always have back up if other one fails. If all else fails, then that day is just not my day. Call it a day and move on to "tomorrow". Can't be everyday also bad day, right?

Hotels that are close but aren't as good or better than Formosa are Utama Hotel, Nagoya Plasa and Harmoni Hotel (& Harmoni suite). 3 of hotel mentioned already closed down.

I am guess they, like Formosa could not keep up with time.

To me, the best hotel will always be Formosa until i found another similar.

If anyone can show me which hotel has everything i need under one roof, would be good :

I am looking at Batam City Hotel & Gideon Hotel, bro.

Both hotels are 5 mins to each other. The Chinese receptionist at Batam City Hotel is very "Sinta", hehehe....

If Formosa is 10/10 to me, Gideon hotel is 7/10 and Batam City Hotel will be 7.5/10.

Bro Blackpage is right, i didn't.

Because i was talking about the goodness of Formosa on the post, and not its KTV.

Another KTV that has Vietnam, Thailand and China girls during the Formosa era were Billiard Center KTV.

And they were about 20 mins walk away each other.

I even heard they switch their girls around from there to Formosa's KTV too.

I love to watch those girls without any bookings coming down from their work place (on weekdays) at the lobby area and then when fate allows it, book them at half or 1/3 of their original price.

(i think their mami hates our group tho, hehehe...)

Same beautiful girls anyway, but at a lower cost.

Hehehehe...bro, you double standard lei.

(i am more wary of head lice inside the helmet tho)

Nowaday market is bad, cost of living is getting higher over the last few months. More female taxi driver are joining the taxi trade.

In my last trip on Aug 2023, i used a female taxi driver. I shown her the news article posted by bro Hurricane.

https://sbfsg.org/showpost.php?...ostcount=19295

I was so "touched" when she says she knows many "people" in Batam and will "protect" me if trouble occurs, hehehe....

Next month Sept 2023, i will continue to use her service, but at the same time "try out" another new female taxi driver who jumps from her Spa Manager's job to this taxi trade.

Must have competition between the same or similar trade, then the service level can improve, right?

Come to think of it, i found out that quite a handful of massage therapist actually drives their own car/bike in Batam.

Most if not all of them were no longer SYT tho and were in their early or late 30s. But still retain part of their beauty at about 6.5/10, if not lower.

* my standard VERY low, 6.5/10 to me can be 1/10 to many bros.

** by now, many would know my standard for girls were those big fat old ugly type.

I think they are all happy with the tips. But i am still a stingy person in their view (i think).

I tried out all the girls in a few MPs in Batam. And yes, i used a strong word here, "all". I only have one dick, 4 hands were usually more than enough for me.

Being a regular in Batam, i learned that i MUST always have a Plan B and at times, even Plan C if something were to mess up. Especially so when it comes to girls, MPs and for now, the female taxi drivers.

Seems to me, every trade in Batam has a good future. （行行出状元）

Just sharing my bits.

I have so far seen the Singapore foreign workers (Bangladeshi, Indians etc), Japanese, Westerners, Koreans, Vietnamese and PRCs on the same ferry-waiting area at Harbourfront over the last 12 months.

Try step out of your home in Singapore on a Saturday and Sunday, i dare say out of 10 human walking in the public spaces, you probably see 9 or more non-Singaporean.

Japanese and Koreans are really few in Batam.

I notice during public holidays, Batam were really flooded with foreign workers.

I think those were the Singapore local Indians. I saw some of them in booking joint bargaining until neck long long, hahaha....

I think that is why one of them whom i talked to, highly recommend me to Memory. Tells me other places "don't need waste time".
